#patronage — Public Fediverse posts

Wow. 👀

"Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday that he will appoint one of his most senior advisers to the Senate, a move that could send shockwaves through the Red Chamber...

...In a highly unusual move, Carney will also name a sitting Conservative MP"

So, my #dentist is #catholic like most people in #mexico . Yes, she understands its a #religion brought to her ancestors by the point of a sword, but that doesn't seem to phase her faith in the slightest. Even more #hardcore, she goes to a specific church every so often to pray or give #patronage [or whatever chatolics do] to #Apollonia, the #patron #saint of dentists and toothaches. Why is she the patron saint of dentists and toothaches you ask? Because she had her teeth ripped out and / or shattered at the hands of an Alexandrian mob, that's why.
I find this both endearing and disturbing at the same time, and I can think of little else as she rakes metal instruments across my teeth.

De Tempelreiniging

Zoals u wellicht weet, heeft Jezus van Nazaret op zeker moment de geldwisselaars weggeranseld van het terrein rond de tempel in Jeruzalem. De gebeurtenis staat bekend als de Tempelreiniging. Hier is het verhaal volgens Marcus.

Jezus ging de tempel binnen en begon iedereen die daar iets kocht of verkocht weg te jagen; hij gooide de tafels van de geldwisselaars en de stoelen van de duivenverkopers omver, en hij liet niet toe dat iemand voorwerpen over het tempelplein droeg. Hij hield de omstanders voor: “Staat er niet geschreven: ‘Mijn huis moet voor alle volken een huis van gebed zijn’? Maar jullie hebben er een rovershol van gemaakt!”

Toen de hogepriesters en de schriftgeleerden hoorden wat er gebeurd was, zochten ze naar een mogelijkheid om hem uit de weg te ruimen.noot Marcus 11.15-18; NBV21.

Matteüs en Lukas vertellen ruwweg hetzelfde, de evangelist Johannes biedt andere informatie:

Op het tempelplein trof Jezus de handelaars in runderen, schapen en duiven aan, en de geldwisselaars die daar altijd zaten. Hij maakte een zweep van touw en joeg ze allemaal de tempel uit, met hun schapen en runderen. Hij smeet het geld van de wisselaars op de grond, gooide hun tafels omver en riep tegen de duivenverkopers: “Weg ermee! Jullie maken een markt van het huis van mijn Vader!”noot Johannes 2.14-16; NBV21.

Het belangrijkste verschil is dat Johannes weglaat wat bij Marcus de pointe is: dat dit voorval de reden was voor Jezus’ arrestatie, enkele dagen later. Johannes plaatst de anekdote helemaal vooraan in zijn evangelie, zo ver mogelijk van Jezus’ kruisdood af. Misschien is dat omdat Johannes het gênant vindt, misschien is dat omdat hij de nadruk wil leggen op de diepere, heilshistorische betekenis van de kruisdood en daarbij die menselijke oorzakelijkheid niet nodig heeft. Maar die menselijke oorzakelijkheid ontkent hij dus niet – hij verbergt haar slechts.

Wat deden die lui nou verkeerd?

Tot zover de twee teksten. Nu waarom ik dit blogje schrijf. Wat deden die geldwisselaars en duivenverkopers nou toch verkeerd? Dat is een simpele vraag, maar nu ik erover ben gaan nadenken, begrijp ik er niets meer van.

Ik heb er weleens op gewezen dat in een wereld waarin patronage een belangrijke rol speelt, de boeren het liefst rechtstreeks contact met hun bestuurders willen (in jargon: brokerless kingdom). In zo’n wereld wordt een tempel die geld vraagt voor een duif, en die betaling vraagt met speciale munten, eerder ervaren als een obstakel voor het contact met God dan als een plek om bij hem te zijn.

Het probleem met deze verklaring is natuurlijk dat de tekst feitelijk geen aanwijzing biedt. Ik redeneer hiermee vanuit een algemeen beeld van de toenmalige wereld. Dat kan juist zijn – dat denk ik ook eigenlijk wel – maar het blijft een hypothese, gebaseerd op enerzijds vergelijking met andere boerensamenlevingen en anderzijds een handvol passages die bewijzen dat mensen klaagden dat de duiven onbetaalbaar waren. Maar “te dure duiven” is niet wat Marcus en Johannes vermelden. Ze vermelden helemaal niets.

Andere verklaringen

Is het probleem misschien dat je op een heilige plek niet met zoiets vulgairs als munten, die metalen stukken gestold wantrouwen, bezig moet zijn? Het kan. Mensen kunnen niet én God én de Mammon dienen. Maar waarom horen we dan niets over soortgelijke scrupules uit andere tempels?

En nog een probleem: waarom moesten bezoekers hun munten wisselen tegen Tyrische sjekels? Het hele Romeinse Rijk waren tal van munten in omloop, maar een munt die was geslagen in de ene stad, woog evenveel als een munt in een andere stad. Een Tyrische sjekel correspondeerde ruwweg met vier drachmen of vier denariën. Er waren weliswaar marginale verschillen, maar ik heb niet de indruk dat die voldoende belangrijk waren. Los daarvan: als die verschilletjes werkelijk een probleem vormden, dan deden de geldwisselaars in Jeruzalem gewoon nuttig werk.

Misschien een afbeelding? Er stond een adelaar aan de ene zijde, een dier dat we ook wel afgebeeld zien in synagogen, en het portret van de vorst sierde de andere zijde van de Tyrische sjekel. Ik heb weleens gelezen dat zo’n portret een schending was van het beeldverbod uit de Tien Geboden, maar als de tempelautoriteiten betaling met Tyrische sjekels eisten, was dat blijkbaar geen probleem.

Kortom, ik snap eigenlijk steeds minder van dit verhaal. Leuk.

Sabah is rich in resources, but politicians jail its wealth, using patronage to ensure dependency and easy bribes. The "Sabahan Malas" stereotype and using religion to gaslight are tactics to hide this reality. Focus on corrupt leaders and demand a fair system.

SACR and its members harp on the idea that America is in a fatal stage of rot, and that they are an oppressed people waiting to rise up on behalf of a silent majority.

The SACR website speaks to the deeply held grievance and sense of a lack of masculine purpose which animates the group.

SACR exists, the website says, because “a man is no longer encouraged to fly to the stars,”
because “those who rule today spit on such ambitions;
they corrupt the sinews of America.”

“They have alienated men from family, community, and God.

We counter and conquer this poison, rebuilding a society where a man can find genuine fulfilment,
true to his nature and calling,
rejoicing in virtue and vitality,” the website says,
before offering a Google docs link where men can apply.

At the end of the day, SACR’s members are not oppressed.

Claremont is free to publish whatever it likes
— it’s widely seen as tremendously influential on the right generally and in MAGA circles specifically.

SACR chapters can meet; Haywood can blog
— in fact, on Tuesday he wrote an encomium to The Camp of the Saints, a 1970s French novel in which a horde of Indian immigrants overwhelms, degrades, and exterminates the white West.

“The goal of the Left was always total expropriation of white people and then, if at all possible, their extermination,
a goal made explicit by many powerful people in 2020,” Haywood wrote.

“How, given this history, should white Americans respond?”

SACR may be his answer.

In emails from November 2020, Yenor wrote to Skyler Kressin, the head of the SACR chapter in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on the group’s national board.

Yenor sent a screenshot of an Amazon link to
“The Super Afrikaners,”
a 1979 nonfiction account of the #Afrikaner #Broederbond,
a semi-secret society which ruled South Africa under apartheid.

“That good?” Yenor titled the subject line, highlighting the book — long out of print — and its $95.62 price.

“That’s the one,” Kressin replied.

South Africa, with its visions of white settlers driven away from status and wealth, appear consistently in Haywood’s writings, and in Fischer’s as well.

The Broederbond, an Afrikaner-only, Calvinist-only group of elites which functioned as a series of hundreds of independent “cells” across the country, offers an eerie reflection of SACR’s structure.

Williams told TPM that the Afrikaner Broederbond came up in conversations over what SACR would be, but denied that it served as a model for the group.

The grievance, perceived loss of status, and lack of metaphysical meaning that these men feel are very real, to them.

But there’s enough in America’s own history to understand the aims and tradition in which SACR is operating.

In emails from November 2020, Yenor wrote to Skyler Kressin, the head of the SACR chapter in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and on the group’s national board.

Yenor sent a screenshot of an Amazon link to
“The Super Afrikaners,”
a 1979 nonfiction account of the #Afrikaner #Broederbond,
a semi-secret society which ruled South Africa under apartheid.

“That good?” Yenor titled the subject line, highlighting the book — long out of print — and its $95.62 price.

“That’s the one,” Kressin replied.

South Africa, with its visions of white settlers driven away from status and wealth, appear consistently in Haywood’s writings, and in Fischer’s as well.

The Broederbond, an Afrikaner-only, Calvinist-only group of elites which functioned as a series of hundreds of independent “cells” across the country, offers an eerie reflection of SACR’s structure.

Williams told TPM that the Afrikaner Broederbond came up in conversations over what SACR would be, but denied that it served as a model for the group.

The grievance, perceived loss of status, and lack of metaphysical meaning that these men feel are very real, to them.

But there’s enough in America’s own history to understand the aims and tradition in which SACR is operating.

SACR and its members harp on the idea that America is in a fatal stage of rot, and that they are an oppressed people waiting to rise up on behalf of a silent majority.

The SACR website speaks to the deeply held grievance and sense of a lack of masculine purpose which animates the group.

SACR exists, the website says, because “a man is no longer encouraged to fly to the stars,”
because “those who rule today spit on such ambitions;
they corrupt the sinews of America.”

“They have alienated men from family, community, and God.

We counter and conquer this poison, rebuilding a society where a man can find genuine fulfilment,
true to his nature and calling,
rejoicing in virtue and vitality,” the website says,
before offering a Google docs link where men can apply.

At the end of the day, SACR’s members are not oppressed.

Claremont is free to publish whatever it likes
— it’s widely seen as tremendously influential on the right generally and in MAGA circles specifically.

SACR chapters can meet; Haywood can blog
— in fact, on Tuesday he wrote an encomium to The Camp of the Saints, a 1970s French novel in which a horde of Indian immigrants overwhelms, degrades, and exterminates the white West.

“The goal of the Left was always total expropriation of white people and then, if at all possible, their extermination,
a goal made explicit by many powerful people in 2020,” Haywood wrote.

Perhaps the most startling element of SACR is one of its long-term objectives.

Per the mission statement obtained by TPM, SACR aims to have its members form the government of an “aligned future regime.”

“They would be next generation
—not founding participants, but those who joined as the project of civic renewal grows deep roots,” the document reads.

“That is, men who ‘grow up in the system.’”

Other goals include providing “preferential treatment for members, especially in business,”
and to both “coordinate allied fraternal networks”
and “defend fraternal networks … against attacks by those opposed to civic renewal, and strongly deter such attacks.”

In Yenor’s Boise chapter, SACR members attempted to craft a “#Statement on #Marriage” in which local church leaders would proclaim an “intentional effort to celebrate the benefits of family life” because the “culture is hostile to Christian marriage.”

To do that, the group would “promote marriage publicly through a pro-marriage sticker” to be spread around the Boise region.

The same group held events with speakers, including writer and policy researcher #Aaron #Renn.

At one point, emails show, Yenor pitched an Idaho news website to Claremont funders called Action Idaho, saying that SACR would take care of back-end work for the venture.

Other public remarks from members point towards the group’s activities.

After The Guardian published its initial story on the group over the summer, a small controversy erupted among evangelicals who regarded Haywood’s views as dangerous and the prospect of a certain strain of Christianity taking control of the government as troubling.

Fischer hit back in a podcast appearance, describing SACR as a “big-tent thing where men get together.”

“So the local chapters or lodges will have a meeting and maybe 15 guys get together and a speaker comes in and talks about something political, sometimes it’s a political candidate or whatever.
And then we learn and sometimes we just hang out,” he said.

“There’s no sort of great #secrecy associated with it. There’s a little degree of #confidentiality because there’s guys there who are at companies where even being associated with a group that is all men would be seen as suspicious.”

If you make it in, you’re asked to pay regular dues and appear at meetings once a month.

Fischer posted a copy of a mission statement and objectives already previously obtained by TPM on Twitter Thursday evening.

The group has public and non-public descriptions of its purpose and goals.

In an “internal” version of the mission statement, SACR says “we are un-hyphenated Americans and we believe in a particular Christianity that is not blurred by modernist philosophies.”

“We are willing to act decisively to secure permanently, as much as anything is permanent, the political and social dominance of that ideal,” the document says.
