Episode notes
Christian Supremacy in FSU Shooting
- The FSU shooter took up a violent, anti-Semitic Christian nationalism symbol linked to The Order, a notorious white nationalist group.
- This reflects the dangerous real-world consequences of Christian nationalist rhetoric and anti-Semitism in extremist violence.
Isker's Christian Exit Rationalization
- Andrew Isker, a pastor and Christian nationalist, promotes leaving progressive places like Minnesota to form Christian enclaves.
- His reasons, such as fears of schools transgendering autistic children, lack factual basis and resemble culture war caricatures.
Highland Rim Project Background
- The Highland Rim Project, backed by New Founding, is buying land in Appalachia to build explicitly Christian communities.
- Although connected, the project maintains officially separate ties from Isker's church initiative forming these Christian enclaves.
