Paul Tillich wrote
“nationalism hates and must always hate Judaism and prophetic Christianity.”
When he spoke of nationalistic patriotism
he was thinking of fascism,
as the logical conclusion
of anthropocentrism
More loyal to a specific supremacist space and time
than faithful to polyculturally interdependent history
of love life’s regenerative revolution.
Nationalism too quickly devolves into rivalry
of Win-InCaste v Lose-OutCaste
zero-sum gamesmanship
Elitist triumphalism
of narrow-minded Chosen People
rather than WinAnthro/WinEarth nonzero-sum
cooperative economies
of politically co-empowering organic lovers.
Tillich’s ‘prophetic’ Judeo-Christian
would find U.S. nationalistic evangelism
anti-prophetically unredeeming,
in striking contrast to scripture’s
radical “God is love”
and
“For God so loved the [entire] world”
Is not
In-Caste preserving
“if They win, then We lose”
perpetrating
puppets of monopoly games
playing zero-sum militarized capitalism
Preparing the unenlightened way
toward more viral triumphalistic cults,
explicitly anti-Semitic
and anti-polytheism
and anti-pantheism
and anti-historical-cultural progress
toward health-informed norms
and safe polyamorous values,
so anti-pleasure by root-chakra means
other than,
for reproduction purposes only,
missionary position
manly active penetration
womanly passive reception
heterosexual expression
for married couples only
after the kids are sleeping.
Frustrated “Christian” fundamentalism
is threatened
by faith in multicultural compassion
healthy democracy inviting
hospitality toward strangers,
loving enemies.
An authentically impassioned and joyful
peace-making Christian evangelist
spreads WinAnthro/WinEarth good gospel creation news
through cooperative teaching
while co-empathically listening
Mentoring bodhisattva collaboratives
about how we can grow this compassion species
toward mutual transubstantiating holiness
With resilient transformative thrival skills
and nothing at all to do with lip service
to an “Our Stuff Don’t Stink”
but yours does,
a Chosen People caste-privileged creed.
When non-prophetic evangelists
examined Donald Trump’s pretentions
as U.S. Presidential potential,
and declared his intentions for the patriotic elite as “pure,”
that meant purely demonic WinUs v LoseThem nationalism
Mute about the prophetic Judaism
of the polyamorous Gospels.
Christians, Jews, and those Islamic-terrified,
must comprehend
and resist
and declaim any notion that Republican Nationalist WeWin-SoYouLose ecopolitics
is anything less than anti-Messianic
WeWin-OnlyIf YouAlsoWin,
is co-redemptive,
globally enlightened,
ecologically accurate
compassion eco-politics.
The democratization of world-wide-webbed love
is a huge mystery of peak spiritual experience,
communication for communion,
organic regeneration for sacred reconnecting
again and again and again
Earth’s healthy resilience wins
and also anthropological ‘pure’ pleasure
and ‘loyal’ passioned wealth.
To call the cult of irreligious Win v Lose nationalism
healthy democracy Win/Win patriotism
is to substitute InCaste Evangelism
for blessed are the poor in Spirit
OutCaste Christianity
Monotheistic colonization
is the Way of idolatrous elitism
and the Truth of weaponized fascism
Taking out a Death contract against healthy human nature
to hit absolute zero
bulls-eye
bottom-line
LoseAnthro/LoseEarth absence of love life’s potential
Promising to anti-prophetically gloat
about absent-mindedly fiddling about
while Earth burns
Anthropocentric hubris
sin
missing the mark,
preparing a vast anti-all-Others absence of love
for continuing richly polycultural climates
of future generation health,
by denying
ignoring
neglecting
abusing
degenerating climate pathologies.
If you are familiar with the Wharton School,
as is Donald Trump
and his considerable too-glutonous billionaire CEO companions,
then you would probably know
you can slap a lipstick index
of economic resilience
on a chauvinistic pig
in an elitist Winner-Take-All partisan pen,
but it will not really look,
or work any better,
and certainly won’t taste
or smell any healthier
or purer
or feel more loyal,
or even tangentially patriotic,
in anthropologically prophetic hindsight.
