Great post. Joel’s concern that the backlash against the lefts hatred of whites will create “supremacists” is similar to James Lindsey’s crap about how he fears the right becoming extremists from the left going too fast. If Berry wants to act like Lindsey, then I can only assume his whole purpose is not to stop the left but hinder the right.
Anti-identitarians are the biggest threat to America and our way of life. They are "humanity supremacists" in the sense that they regard an abstract concept of humanity as a concern they can manage while ignoring the people failing to live up to their potential right within their own family. It's merely an excuse to be selfish and uncaring, to overlook the things you can and should do, the people you should owe your life to, with the excuse that you're acting in service to an ideal for humanity. As could be expected, this ideal itself is a falsehood; it's one of the darkest paths, bringing misery to those who take it, or are led down it, despite the overtures to the contrary. With rudimentary education on political theory and history, it's apparently demonic and no good Christian would support it knowingly.
You raise a great question: "I know nothing of Berry’s life circumstances, but I do wonder whether he or anyone he cares about is even suffering from anti-American propaganda in such a way that would provoke his male protective instinct."
What is the background of Joel Berry, editor of the Christian parody news site Babylon Bee? I wonder if his background might shed any clues on why he might have such thinly-veiled disdain for the plight of American whites and Christians? We should probably look into that. Sometimes the reality doesn't match the public image, and this might be one of those cases.
I'm reminded of another absolutely terrible take by Joel Berry regarding SC Rep. Nancy Mace's dumb joke about her turning down fornication to attend a prayer breakfast (brought to my attention by Aaron Renn https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/evangelicals-think-men-are-all-to). Berry wrote, 'Maybe we "patriarchal, male-headship Christians" should reserve our ire for her loser fiance who - instead of leading her spiritually and selflessly is treating her like an unpaid prostitute'
Renn points out the irony that "Evangelical teaching about male headship in marriage is typically heavily qualified to make very clear that the man is only the head when it comes to his actual wife - not to any other women. This is usually done so as to make clear that there is no obligation by women to submit to any man other than their actual husband. But what we see here is that they want to apply the responsibility they put on husbands onto men who are not married and whom they would say do not have the authority of a husband." Thus, Berry's patriarchy allows women to be US Representatives while also blaming their sin on men who ostensibly have no authority over them.
Also just realized TJ Martinell is a co-author of "Nullification 101." Great work!

Yes, I've worked with the Tenth Amendment Center for almost a decade. You should definitely check out the work we've done, especially research on the Second Amendment.
