- So let us talk about revolutions, you and I. Historically speaking, the word can mean anything from a simple change in government, like a revolving door, or it can be a nightmarish spectacle that doesn’t ever want to quit. The word admits of quite a range of meanings. It can refer to something as noble as the American Revolution, or to something as devastating as the Russian Revolution.
I know, I just called the American Revolution noble. I am prepared to defend that, but first we have to go back to the days of Robin Hood for a minute. Work with me here.
Pastor Doug Wilson's Blog and Mablog video is presented by Canon Press.
"All laws reflect the character of the gods that issue them."
Thomas DiLorenzo's three books on Lincoln and the 'Civil War' are must-reads.
This is unimaginably based
This goes unbelievably hard.
I am disappointed there was not more about Isildur and the One Ring.
Thank you, Uncle Doug. You're a canary of sanity and truth chirping at the window sill of trash world's prison. Thank you for your ministry.
“…copy machines-the sound of which is nirvana for bureaucrats…” hahaha
So the American Revolution was actually the American Counter-Revolution....that's huge. It's been right in front of me when studying American history, and I never saw that. WOW!
Very good
Does Doug keep a group of Gen Zers around to keep him up-to-date on what the kids a saying today?
Thank you! I hope my pastor sees this.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS
Yeah; I agree with Doug on this.
Always appreciate your videos.
@blogmablog4870 Other than the Bible which I read daily, what historical books would you recommend I start with if I wanted to learn history in such a way that I could make sense of what’s happening in the world and where we are headed? Similar to what you just did in this video. I know it would be many books, and I’d likely need to choose a century. Not sure where to start.

The One ring isn't authoritarian ism or some form of government or set laws. It's the symbol of technology. The entire theme of the books is about the evil of relentless technological progress. Isildur was king, Theoden was king, Thranduil was king, Thorin was king, And Aragorn was made king at the end of the books. There is no democracy in the books and they aren't an allegory for the supremacy of the modernist American form of government. Americans think that everything that came before them was constant human suffering. And that if America falls the world will literally come to an end.
How do we get America off the European political scale of progressive or conservative interventionism and back to defense of the seas free trade commerce strong embassies with underground railroads saving one soul at a time without intervention so funding can get back to domestic emphasis on a Renaissance and then hard reform ?
My views on government go from conservative to libertarian to full on anarcocapitalisim I'm very strange lol.
