Opinion of DC Al Fine

[Mechaman]

I give him credit for having strong convictions and providing a honest and ideologically coherent defense for them. That said, his convictions are of the kind which can't be just described as a policy disagreement, but delve so deep into morally abhorrent values that they cannot avoid reflecting on my feeling on him as a person. Possibly well meaning, but still a horrible person.

Well he must be either doing an incredible job at presenting his views or I'm on here so rarely I miss all of his extremely horrible views.

[morgieb]

I can understand where most of the leftists here are coming from.

With that said, he looks like a nice guy and he's a pretty smart and intelligent poster. So FF pour moi.

[tik 🪀✨]

He's grown on me a lot in the past few months.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

He's a good person with some pretty bad views, which I generally consider better than the reverse--and since I've voted lean-FF for the reverse in the past, he deserves a lean-FF too.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A massive freedom fighter, and one of my favorites.

[Lief 🗽]

HP, bigot, &c.

[Cassius]

Seems like a good person with pretty sound views from what I've seen. FF.

Also, what a joyless little world some people must inhabit to describe someone as horrible purely on the basis of the views they express on an internet forum.

[RI]

What are these "bad" views?

Their leftists/trolls, the most untolerant people alive. In their mind, anyone that disagrees with them even on the littlest of things deserves to be shunned.

     If they shunned us then that would be one thing. Instead, they obsess over how we are the source of all evil in the world. It's rather tiresome.

[Torie]

A most admirable human being in every way.

One of them threatened to kill me. That should be enough to say how awful some of them truly are .

Massive FF, despite his ideology.

Are you referring to me, there? What a f**king hilarious string of comments.

Pretty much this.

[TJ in Oregon]

Massive FF.

[Smid]

He is awesome. A really great guy. One of the best.

[Goldwater]

FF.

[PJ]

I'm not going to judge someone based on their political views, even though I strongly disagree with them. He also seems like a pretty nice guy, so FF.

What are these "bad" views?

I believe it is banning abortion and divorce.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

FF.  Don't like most of his religious and political views, but FF.

Its funny how they preach being tolerant to gays, but they treat those who disagree with them on even the littlest things like sh**t and threatening them.

mmm libertarian tears

This article highlights a few key lessons socially conservative Christians can take from this.

1) If you want to win the cultural war, you need soldiers, and that means babies. Lots of them, birthed young, with subsequent generations following in the same path. Women will need to marry men and start having babies at a much younger age than normal.

2) You need to minimize population losses, which means
a) Running your own schools is essential as the public schools with preach values contrary to your own.
b) Having a rituals and/or clothing that set the group apart from the general population, encouraging solidarity and making the transition out of the faith more difficult than it is for your typical lapsed Catholic or Evangelical.

3) Concentration for political purposes is important. Politicians follow votes, even though pastors cannot tell people how to vote from the pulpit for fear of losing tax-exempt status. But what the Ultra-Orthodox do is particularly notable: rather than worry about national politics where their votes are diluted in a sea of others, they care and focus on local politics, and get results for it

What social function would banning divorce serve?
