USCG only has jurisdiction of navigable waterways, which afaict the Rio Grande is not. If it were, Texas' legal position would be much, much weaker. I'm not sure that matters though. Its an interesting situation all around.




Federal definition of navigable waterway is any waterway that can be used for commercial purposes, specially defined to include recreational guideded canoe trips.

I don't think there are any particular reasons to believe PF are "feds" (presumably meaning: led by federal informants?) beyond them being a group that does IRL protests.




The issue is that their uniform looks like the stereotype for "off duty cop" or "soldier in civilian clothes" and they would show up with riot shields out of a police catalog when they first started.

I think a major part of PF's issue is that they don't seem organic at all, so they get no support from the right wing.


Every time they come up in my circles, everyone starts screaming "FED! FED!" and until they deal with those optics they are going to be left out to hang.

I do not find whiteness as a proxy for morality compelling, particularly when it comes from the perspective of joining some white separatist group. As a moral and lily-white person, I can only see the idea of privileging race over morality as some sort of race communism where I have to cover for the moral inferiority of people who have an similar skin tone and see morally superior people with a disfavored skin tone see trouble.


If that isn't the case then why the bait and switch? Have words lost their meaning like they have in the larger culture? Am I instead supposed to share the specific cosmology of some Pagan cult?


I much prefer moral nationalism to whatever this 50th flavor of white nationalism is.

There was quite a while where I could show up to a bar without a mask for a drink but couldn't sing or participate in rituals at a church.


Assuming that I am not lying, is that an injustice?

I considered skipping posting for precisely this reason but figured it was an angle we don't tackle often. My worst fears are confirmed!




I'd be kinder if it wasn't written like a channish nastygram and had some point where I could interact that wasn't quizzing someone twice removed from your in-law's mindstate about his intent and words.


Like, what would you like to talk about? Does this represent increased activity in your life? Do you want advice about how to speak to your in-law? Do you want to talk about Christianity in the public sphere? I need some guidelines on how to help you that isn't a request to sneer at your family.




I don't have any good options here. The short answer is I don't know. I draw the line of our compromise at funding anything related to religion, and being the sole breadwinner provides me significant leverage. The public schools where I live now are unacceptable, and if I were to return to my hometown they'd be high-quality public (but my kids would be put through the same social shit I went through as a non-believer).




Of the religious school models, classical schools are extremely new and attempt to be more implicit than explicit. Religious instruction is saved for the final years of schooling in the school near me and has a different approach than the usual, many do not provide it at all. If you have the opportunity I'd recommend investigating them, the people running them are far from fundamentalist baptists in the worst case, and you might have one that isn't religious at all and may actually be a charter school.

You ignored the part of mine where I stated that the most central rituals of Christianity were being interfered with and changed by government fiat, so if you fix that we can make something work.

So how do you want me to interact with this post other than saying "nice blog bro!"? We aren't here to be your therapist.


But yes, the detente is over and was over when the state closed churches and masses for COVID. Even when reopening occured, diktats came down as to how Churches were to administer the Eucharist, which I might remind you is the holiest and most central ritual in Christiandom.


So your father-in-law is for all intents and purposes trying to figure out if you are going to be an asset or liability in the culture war. Are you sending your children to a classical school or a public school?

For Kipling, empire-building was a matter of "you broke it, you bought it." A nation simply cannot stand on the world stage, in trade or military or diplomatic matters, without inadvertently impacting humans outside its borders. Some of those humans, not being the subjects of powerful nation-states themselves, are rendered horribly vulnerable to the resulting externalities. The responsible thing to do, then, is to take those humans under your collective national wing (says Kipling). Like children, they may whine about it, but it really is for their own good. And like a sullen teenager, you might whine about it, too, but that's the price of a seat at the grown-up table: you have to clean up your own messes.




It was particularly explicit on the part of European powers that the Americans would deal with their neighbors or they would, to the point where the French would invade Mexico during the American Civil War. American interventionism of the period was very much informed by Europe.

Do the Canadians, who have had the full firehose of English culture not have a distinctive culture? Certainly they do.


It isn't the same culture as the 19th century, but it never was going to be.


Generally, a distinctive culture is going to survive in pockets and subculture, specific to Czechia they've rapidly began to grow a major presence in American gunculture and guntube.

I'd say that the deep state is probably best defined by asking two different questions:


Who is the Vice President of the United States?


Who is the Treasury Department employee in charge of NYC and thus the NYSE?


The one who's name I can't reasonably expect you to know is the deep state.

I generally am fond of when a woman is naturally feminine enough that it rejects androgyny.


There are people who are in to the androgyny and there are dudes who are into a girl who looks as good in overalls mucking a barn as she looks in a cocktail dress on the town. Different motivations in each case.

And that is pretty much where I am with the topic.


There is just generally bigger fish to fry at the moment as it concerns virtues and duties, tho frequently those fish are gay it seems. I am not exactly enthusiastic about making sure that antifa Andrew has reproductive success either.
