"The extremists are afraid of books and pens. The power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women. The power of the voice of women frightens them." - Malala fighting Taliban.

What foreign invader are Christian Nationalists fighting against though?

Hi, this is my posting. In my posting here on Lemmy, included a link to Malala's speech and quoted part of it. did you read the entire thing?

Do you not realize how far away Swat Valley Pakistan is from Mecca / Quran origins that the Taliban follows?
Do you consider the Taliban an invasive behavior to use the Quran on people in Pakistan?
How far do you think California USA is from the origins of The Bible?
Do you consider Christians an invasive behavior to use the Bible on people in North America?
Fixed book of year 635. The Quran was originated in the year 635... using it literally in Pakistan in the year 2009 is why Malala started blogging on the WWW. It is a very out of date book to rule a society with.
Fixed book that is 1,950 years ago. The Bible was originated some 2000 years ago... using it literally in North America in the year 2025 is a really out of date way to run the society.
Do you think "Jesus" or "The Bible" is named in the USA Constitution or Deceleration of Independence?
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson did not like the British King James Bible and took a knife and cut/paste his own Bible and published it in year 1820? A USA Founding Father version of The Bible? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible

Shall I continue?

What foreign invader are Christian Nationalists fighting against though?

They are fighting domestic peoples, native Americans, Mexicans and Navajo and other people who were here before The Bible ever was.

Most of all, Christians in North America are fighting against nonfiction. Science.

No argument there! I agree, that t-shirt that says "The Original Homeland Security" and has a picture of some hunky Native Americans standing shoulder to shoulder about sums it up, again my point is that in this context extremist Christian Nationalism was the colonizing force not a resistance force born out of the context of colonizing forces.

Extreme fiction addicts.

Fox News is fiction
Bible is science fiction, magical angels are the "colonizing forces" from outer-space
Donald Trump is a great source of fiction storytelling.

I suggest you also peer over to Russia and study if the Kremlin produces fiction or nonfiction. I can recommend this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Is_True_and_Everything_Is_Possible "Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia is a 2014 book by Peter Pomerantsev. It focuses on the political developments in Russia in the early 21st century and the culture of Russian media."

Reminder: Putin was recently invited to Alaska to meet with Trump to discuss fiction storytelling strategies for leading nations.
