AN OPEN LETTER TO OPEN-MINDED LIBTARDS
CHAPTER 2: DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK
MALTHUS MOSSBEETLE • 1:50 AM
Within America, there exists a vast network of conservative elites. Its members swell the ranks of advocacy groups, such as the John Birch Society and the Federalist Society, as well as think tanks, like the Heritage Foundation and the Ethics and Public Policy Center. It is funded by billionaires like the Kochs, Mercers, and Peter Thiel (more on him later). It takes, in large part, its philosophical underpinnings from the Christian faith. I will refer to this Church-backed complex as the Cathedral.
The Cathedral is mighty. It is a global power that has existed for millennia. A rough estimate puts its membership in the low ten figures. It is, and has always been, a bastion of traditional values. This means constantly fighting against evolution of any kind. (In addition to this, it protects us from witchcraft, as it did in 1581, 1692, and 1983. It's a useful sideline, like when an Oath Keeper is also a cop.)
The Cathedral would undoubtedly tell you it is losing the fight. Maybe it is, but it is also disingenuous. Its timeline is truncated, its view too narrow. The Cathedral attacks social change as if it is being mugged in an alley. In reality, it is more like a mountain raging at the wind.
And what of these values it so rigorously defends? These are best understood not in terms of what it wishes to build but what it yearns to tear down. Its members want to strip away any "progress" made in the last few centuries. They are anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-free speech, anti-freedom of religion, anti-democracy, and anti-diversity. Most importantly, they are anti-education.
The Cathedral loves the uneducated. Ask any number of its adherents, and they will tell you Lincoln was a Republican, Hitler was a Democrat, Obama invaded Iraq, and no, obviously, women should not be allowed to vote. (They are against outright slavery but view the Civil War as a heroic fight against government overreach.) They are absolute morons, exactly how the Cathedral wants them. The dumber they are, the easier it is to sell them a spoon.
I bet you're the kind of Christian who would fuck Jesus in the ass and not have the goddamn charity to give him a reach-around.
-Sister Mary Agnes, Sacred Heart Elementary
Most Cathedral leaders don't adhere to Christian teachings. So often do they quote the Old Testament while ignoring the New, you would be forgiven for thinking they were hard-right Jews. They are hypocrites. How many of their politicians practice the compassion Jesus taught? How many Texas judges favor Old Testament retribution? How many hellfire-and-brimstone pastors have gotten an abortion for their mistress? (No, I'm not trying to single out Protestants, but Catholic priests don't have a lot of pregnancy scares.)
These people are only interested in the ideology so far as they can exploit it. They roundly endorsed Donald Trump, a man who embodies none of the values they claim to champion. They justify their partnership with him as a means to an end. They will tell you he is a necessary evil. They are admitting they would make a deal with the devil himself for power.
The Cathedral is a central part of MAGA. It developed Project 2025. It is one faction vying for control of the country. There are others.
