American Identity

Those that create order in their home, in their work, in their families, in their communities, and in their nations through productive activity and modeling moral behavior aligned towards the good — natural order and harmony.

People so productive that they can produce more than they personally consume, and therefore can provide for families, children, and charity. Every product was manufactured by someone. Every house built by someone. Every meal grown and cooked by someone. Wealth is created by those who work and create more than they consume.

Judge a man not by what he has but what he does with what he has. A poor man who works hard and produces more than he consumes is better than a rich man who inherited much and consumes volumes but produces nothing.

They can be defined by leadership from behind in a corporate sense, and by bureaucratic administration and tax collection.

There are two primary branches. The administrative state — a bloated bureaucracy disconnected from the productive economy that mines the productive for taxes. And the financialized economy, which extracts wealth and purchasing power via inflation and monopoly-esque crony capitalism: PE rollups, centralized banking, inflationary money printing, corporations who collude with government to regulate out their competition and create complex and selective licensing monopolies.

That doesn't mean that all politicians, lawyers, bankers, or corporate executives are bad. It just means that those positions are the ones most in need of scrutiny and most vulnerable to extractive immoral agents. It means the layman needs to be particularly discerning in who he interacts with in those sectors, to place and support only refined, moral, and productive people into jobs and positions that are critical but easily corruptible.

The good within those positions align themselves morally, and feel kinship and leadership-from-the-front responsibility towards the farmer, the builder, and the small business owner, who are the broad base of productivity from which the administrative, financial, and legal positions can emerge.

Someone incapable or unwilling to produce order in their mind, work, home, family, or community. People who are lazy. People who steal. People who choose to live off welfare instead of work. People who litter. People who disregard social norms and ethical behavior.

Those with physical and mental limitations should be guided and aided to the extent possible via charity.

Those who have the means but lack virtue should receive nothing except the opportunity for dignified work to develop character and identity — Army Corps of Engineers public works projects.

The purpose of this political movement is to get the generatively productive body of Christ in spiritual, then social, then political alignment. To reconstitute the identity of the nation.

Just like a human body's immune system needs to have a sense of self at the cellular level to function, so a nation needs a shared understanding of who we are, how we treat and love each other — a Christian moral framework — and who and what we are not.

Absent that framework, our nation and people wither and die, much like an immunocompromised person in the face of invading disease.
