@Soyweiser He’s also oddly reluctant to disclose in his polemic that his ongoing association with Oxford is as a research fellow at the tiny Blackfriars Hall, which is a combination Dominican friary and heavily Catholic college. Not wholly out of the question that the post is funded by, you know, “a group of concerned individuals”.
Tradcathery has the fascist hallmark of being an obviously modern/modernist ideology that claims to be an ancient religious tradition. Tradcathery as we know it today is very online. EA is also very online, and increasingly sour about social liberalism. Match made in hell.
I don’t remember what their deal was, but back before twitter’s undeath, jewish twitter used to get harassed by trad lutherans. They all had 🦬 in their handles, tended to have husbandfather profiles, and were so extremely online that I always suspected (as I do with tradcaths) that for most of them it was just a bit. No particular evidence that they were just trollsonas, except that they were SO online.
eurgh. I think a lot of them probably delude themselves that they aren’t just posting. but they are just posting. they’re christians the way QAnon followers are political activists.
He also went on a ‘why I changed my mind on abortion’ video. ‘changed your mind’ sure buddy. I’d hope at least that his association with friars makes it very unlikely he actually pipebombs anything, he also didn’t seem (in looking at his socials for like 5 minutes) to be the stochastic terrorism promoter type.

Tradcaths gonna tradcath, but it’s interesting he feels he can reach the EA audience with his views.

Pipebombs are more of an evangelical thing. Catholics prefer to use legal evil to block abortion access.
