Well done, Ryan. Cuts right to the heart of it

It would be nice if Christians *actually* stood against usury and other economic beliefs spawning either from the Enlightenment or secular libertarianism. They've internalized so much evil as acceptable and ordinary along with what all you've mentioned.

Economics is definitely an area even very otherwise trad people falter on. There is a catholic commentator named Kennedy Hall who is a major SSPX person and is extremely anti modern but will still heavily advocate Austrian Economic positions that arn't really in line with Catholic thought. Usury is such a winning issue that almost any normal person agrees with it once you explain to them what it is, people still absolute hate bankers after 2008 and nothing in the last fifteen years has done anything to change that.

Most rightists don't realize most of their beliefs are just internalized concepts fed to them by a system built on usury. Whether free banking or central banking, the point stands interest rates are usurious (especially on the level they're at and how abusive the system is).

It's embarassing how psyopped people are. Jewish-influenced Austrian econ which is built on an entirely secular idea of value should somehow trump Catholic social teachings about charity? It's insane.

Slavery is evil becauae the slaves eventually get free and oppress ypur posterity becauae the abolitionists never have enough sense to exterminate them but always insist on letting them free to rape.

Very well said. Each denomination needs a “Stone Choir moment” where laity and clergy alike join forces to slay the golden calfs of the state cult

Good post Ryan, reminded me of this: “For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; they are those who must be brought low in the dust; they are those who must be consumed as stubble; and this is according to the words of the prophet.”
