Episode notes
Right-Wing Attack On Empathy
- Dan Miller frames the series as a critique of right-wing attacks on empathy, especially within high-control Christianity.
- He links these critiques to broader conservative strategies that short-circuit debate by blaming "too much empathy."
Order As Ideological Cover
- Miller explains Allie Beth Stuckey defines God's primary trait as "order" to justify strict immigration policies.
- He argues that invoking "order" functions to legitimize ideological positions rather than biblical fidelity.
Order Means Power And Submission
- Within high-control Christianity Miller says 'order' equates to authority and enforced submission.
- He shows this definition makes negotiation or listening appear as abdication of power.
