Eric Conn argues society is dominated by a "Longhouse," a gynocracy where passive men abdicate biblical rule, allowing hysterical women to control institutions via safetyism and cancel culture. He attributes this rise to church capitulation and Marxist infiltration, proposing a twelve-point strategy including rediscovering Christian male rule, forming courageous tribes, adopting a "safety third" policy, building physical strength, and reviving trades outside corporate HR. Ultimately, Conn contends that destroying this system requires theological maximalism and speaking unpopular truths to restore male leadership and free speech. [Automatically generated summary]

Harmful Speech and Policing00:14:20
Leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast platform.
I get it.
It's annoying.
Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.
When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.
We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.
You're doing a great job.
We've got several hundred reviews so far, but we'd like to reach a thousand reviews by the end of this year.
The year of our Lord 2024.
If you haven't left a review yet, take a moment and help us achieve our goal.
Awesome.
Well, thank you, Joel.
And I appreciate that there is at least someone here who makes me seem a little bit more like a moderate.
All I heard Joel say, by the way, I heard two hours.
So we go for two hours.
That's right.
Yeah, so today we're going to be talking about the Longhouse.
And how to destroy it.
Kind of before we do that, one of the things that has come up across this conference is all you wonderful people.
I met Anans.
You don't have to say who you are, but just cheer a little bit.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I didn't, none of them got their mom's permission to be here.
Surprisingly, not dwelling in the basement.
We are going to talk about the longhouse.
And we'll answer a couple questions today, including what is the Longhouse?
Some of you are probably wondering that.
But we'll start with an article from The Atlantic.
And this is from Hannah Rosen.
She was a senior editor at The Atlantic.
In 2010, she wrote an article titled The End of Men and the Rise of Women.
Now, it's interesting, in her article, she describes how female dominance has reached every level of society.
You probably can feel this in your daily life, and we'll get into that more.
But there are startling implications of this for the workforce and politics and marriage and sex and children.
You see, Rosen noticed that women started competing in the workforce after the sexual revolution in the 1960s, but now they exert more influence than most men in social institutions.
You might ask yourself well, is that because they're all CEOs?
Well, quite the opposite.
In fact, just under 3% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.
So, how do they exert control?
Well, it's that beloved institution known as the HR department.
That's right, School Marm Central.
Roughly 75% of HR staff in America are women.
And as we'll see, they are hysterical women, not good women.
These are the ladies who control most of the behavior norms in the workforce.
So, as a result, what we'll see today is that women have become the enforcement army behind DEI.
And wokeness and political correctness and cancel culture and quota based hiring.
Now, it's interesting to Rosen, a lesbian and an Israeli born Jewish woman who immigrated to New York with her family.
For her, this is an exciting turn of events.
For the first time in world history, she says, women are playing a dominant role in most cultural institutions.
And other ladies have recognized this as well, including Hillary Clinton.
You will remember her 2016 campaign slogan.
The future is female.
They are wrong, of course, to celebrate this subversion of the natural order, but they are correct in identifying the rise of what we will call today the longhouse.
Now, instead of celebrating it, we're going to be talking about why it's so destructive, and in turn, how we can also destroy it.
Now, before we get there, another question arises Why must the longhouse be destroyed?
Well, because biblically speaking, the longhouse is what you get when passive and weak men abdicate their natural order.
And God given responsibility to rule.
And they allow, in turn, the worst kind of reviling women to control them.
Welcome to U.S. society.
Now, the reason that we're living in a woke hellscape is because men have failed to lead in the home church and society, as biblically called, and they have allowed the worst kind of women to take over.
So, three questions that we'll answer in this talk What is the Longhouse, first of all?
What are its characteristics?
How was the longhouse built in the first place?
And finally, how can we destroy the longhouse?
So, first, what is the longhouse?
Well, especially if you're on the dissident right, this term has been used somewhat frequently, and it has been used to describe a rising societal dominance of really Marxist and feminist ideals across society.
And an adjoining term, if you will, would be gynocracy, which usually refers to specifically female political rule.
Now, for those of you who are like Pastor Dan, who likes to say he's blue collar, he's a bubba, okay, the TLDR version is a female ruled and a female normed society.
The concept of the longhouse actually originates from many Native American and other indigenous people groups where they would literally build longhouses or huts over which matriarchal forces ruled.
Now, in the longhouse, men are forced to live under the oppressive feminist.
Gaze, which often feels so much like the eye of Sauron.
The longhouse is a space over which women rule.
Men are subservient and passive.
Masculine energy is stifled.
An oppressive safetyism is what replaces risk and ambition.
There are no longer hierarchies of competence, instead, we base our hierarchies off of sex or race related quotas.
In turn, we get the worst of feminine behavioral norms, which become codified in the system known as the HR bureaucracy.
We also find that in the Longhouse, speech is heavily policed.
And if you're in the UK, you might even go to jail for some of it.
But think in America, what is considered hate speech?
It's actually a criminal activity.
You cannot say the wrong things.
Has come to symbolize the oppressive regime of the all controlling den mother.
As a 2023 article in First Things describes it this way the Longhouse refers at once to our increasingly degraded mode of technocratic governance, but also to wokeness, to the progressive and to the liberal, to secular values that pervade all major institutions.
It refers to the remarkable overcorrection of the last two generations towards social norms.
Centering feminine needs and feminine methods for controlling and directing and modeling behavior.
So, we might ask a question where do you see this longhouse at play today?
Well, I think you could see it when the screechy congresswomen berate Pete Hegseth or Kash Patel, and you've seen the mashup videos, they're really great, or RFK Jr. at their confirmation hearings, while men silently and in agony pop nicotine pouches in obvious pain.
The women have hysterical outbursts, and the men have to sit and take it.
Right?
You also saw it when Colorado female school administrators.
Tried to punish a seventh grade male student, Jaden Rodriguez, for attaching hate speech to his backpack.
And by that I mean a Gadsden flag.
His speech, they said, was harming other students.
You see, this is the Longhouse.
It is the female reporter aggressively interrogating JD Vance with bleeding heart questions about immigration, to which he responded with the now famous line I don't really care, Margaret.
By the way, we'll talk about how to defeat the Longhouse.
This is the quintessential.
Answer.
This is how you have to respond to this type of woman.
What are the rules of the longhouse?
I call them the Dolores Umbridge rules.
Thank you.
Number one, first in the longhouse, conflict is dealt with indirectly rather than directly.
So Jonathan Haidt has written at length about this, and he says that when women rule, it's not as though there's an absence of conflict.
But rather, there is, he says, a different kind of conflict.
There is a greater emphasis on what someone said, which hurts someone else, even if unintentionally.
There is a greater tendency to respond to an offense by mobilizing social resources to ostracize the alleged offender.
This is cancel culture.
Rather than engaging in open debate or direct confrontation, anyone who breaks the norms of the longhouse. Is punished by female coded tactics.
And these include attacking someone's reputation, social ostracism, as we said, cancel culture, or forcing them to endure public humiliation rituals.
As one author has said, to be canceled is to feel the whip of the Longhouse masters.
Many of us have experienced something similar, especially in the workplace.
So, number two, another feature of the Longhouse, Public discourse is ordered around not giving offense or doing harm, rather than truth or free speech.
So, in this longhouse, speech norms must provide affirmation at all costs, no matter how bizarre the behavior in question.
It is seen, for example, as doing violence to affirm that a man cannot become a woman, or that a young boy's genitalia should not be mutilated.
In other instances, you can think of like Charles Murray.
People are forbidden from speaking at colleges because administrators said their message is too harmful.
Now, we might ask a question about this why are these the rules about speech?
Why is it the case that we have to live this way in the longhouse?
Well, research clearly indicates that women are far less supportive as a whole of free speech, especially if you're talking about the single woke females on college campuses.
They are often far more favorable to censorship than men.
They have a greater aversion to direct conflict and so prefer speech that today we would call tolerance.
Now, Corey Clark, who is a psychologist, pointed this out.
He says, women are far more likely to believe that hate speech is violence, that it's acceptable to shout down a speaker, that controversial scientific findings should be censored, that people need to learn to be more careful about the language they use, and the last one is the kicker.
Women are far more likely to believe that it should be illegal, keyword, illegal, to say offensive things about minorities or people groups.
Right?
This is.
The Longhouse.
Now, third feature of the Longhouse the Longhouse makes safety the highest moral good over against risk or adventure or achievement.
And here I'm stealing another term from Jonathan Haidt, and his term is safetyism.
So he wrote about this in The Coddling of the American Mind.
He said, Safetyism in America has become a belief system that makes safety a sacred value.
We saw this most preeminently during the great COVID shamdemic.
So think about this.
Think about the litany of violations of basic rights to personal freedom, not to mention the number of deaths and injuries that were justified on the basis of what?
Reducing harm.
We're going to kill people to reduce harm.
Indeed, if the longhouse was a person, it would be COVID Karen.
We've all seen the reels about this.
Coven Karen is triple masked.
She's quad boosted.
She's self confined for months on end.
She's hyperventilating in panic as she ventures to the grocery store for the first time in nearly a year.
Then she will scold the rest of us for wanting to send our kids back to school or demanding instead that we all abide by her hypochondria on pain of punishment by the bureaucratic state.
This person, who could be either male or female, by the way, is the avatar of the longhouse.
So, as a result of this, the Longhouse distrusts outward displays of ambition.
It is the Longhouse which hates little boys who run around and make trouble.
It censures the drive to assert oneself on the world or to strike out for conquest and expansion.
The Longhouse Controls Workplace00:03:31
Male competition and hierarchies are most unwelcome and hence participation trophies.
Masculinity in this context is described as toxic.
Unless, like evangelicals, you can rebrand it in a way that is female subservient, like the servant leader model.
Now, closely connected to this, we might also add the nanny security state, which seeks to monitor every activity, to sift through our data, to shut down our bank accounts for saying the wrong things on X, and to restrict or fact check which content we can access in the first place.
And why do they do all of this?
Well, it's in the name of safety.
Consider this the longhouse controls workplace.
Conduct as well.
This is another feature.
As of 2022, women held 52% of professional managerial roles in the U.S. Women earned 57% of bachelor's degrees.
They also earned 61% of master's degrees.
This is a shocking stat.
Human resource managers are nearly 75% female, while compliance officers are also about 60%.
Again, this is significant since these same women control workplace behavior and speech norms.
Many of them, you'll be shocked to find out, are left liberal politically.
For example, over 80% of gender or grievance studies graduates, and yes, that's a real thing, over 80% of those are women.
So Richard Hananiah pointed this out in one of his articles, which you can find on Substack, but he talks about how the civil rights regime really transformed HR bureaucracies into the enforcement wing of virtually every institution, private or public.
And these institutions would reshape American culture according to feminist norms.
So you think about this without the legions of predominantly left leaning, college educated women to run these departments, there simply could not have been a massive cultural shift toward woke left ideals.
Again, Noah Carl points the same thing out, and it's rather fascinating, if not troubling.
Women in the academy were the instrumental cause of wokeness.
In America, you couldn't have wokeness take off without college educated women.
Now, fifth, we'll say this about the Longhouse women are almost never at fault.
Never.
When I say never, I mean ever.
Never, ever.
In the church, we see this not only, obviously, you can see it here with the purple haired Lesbetarians and the lady pastrixes, but here's the kicker you also find it in conservative and reformed churches.
Which have male leaders and male elders, and yet those elders are functionally ruled by the emotional state of their reviling wives.
The evangelical longhouse can also be seen in Christianity today, or the Gospel Coalition.
You see it in the SBC's ERLC, with staffs which are made mostly of women and Russell Moore, but I repeat myself.
Thank you.
I worked hard on that one.
Hysterics in Conservative Churches00:04:12
I mean, come on.
There is a prohibition in the church against confronting female sins.
Most of you have seen this in action.
Unless, there's one exception here, unless the sin is not loving yourself enough.
Now, in non Christian circles, we've actually seen the same thing with the rise of feminism and the infiltration into all of our institutions.
So you think of the Me Too movement.
For example, we were told to believe all women.
And think about this one.
It's evil and wrong in both cases, but think about this.
When Bill Cosby drugs and rapes women, this is seen as a heinous evil.
When Cardi B does it, she gets a free pass, and not only that, she is celebrated for it.
Now, I want to move into this section now, talking about where the Longhouse came from.
And you might think, well, maybe this is a most recent phenomenon, but actually, C.S. Lewis talks about this, even dating back to the 1950s.
And this sort of theme finds its way into the Narnia series.
I mean, it's pretty super based, a C.S. Lewis, by the way, to use a child's book to talk about the Longhouse, but he does.
And you say, where?
Well, at the end of the Silver Chair, which was published in 1953, Lewis tells the story of Jill Poll and Eustace Scrub as they return from Narnia.
And they go back to their school, which was, we're told, a place of meanness and conceit and cruelty and sneakishness.
And you might ask yourself, how did the school get this way?
Why was this school dominated by the worst kind of bullies?
Well, Lewis tells us in no uncertain terms that the school was run by a hysterical woman.
This is the word that he chooses.
And I think Lewis, who had a keen intellect, likely chose the word hysterical for a reason.
You see, the Greek root word here is hystera, which means womb or uterus.
And the Greeks associated hysteria with an uncontrollable outburst of emotion or fear, often characterized by irrationality.
And they attributed this, of course, to.
To the female hormonal state.
Now, when left unchecked, this kind of hysterical woman, or what the Bible calls a reviling woman, will create a suffocating longhouse.
And so, when the headmistress sees the children with Aslan, she frantically calls the police to report that a lion has escaped from the zoo.
And this is most interesting from Lewis.
The school bullies cry out, and I'm quoting murder, fascists, lions, it isn't fair.
Now, isn't that interesting?
Why did he include fascists?
Well, it seems today is not the only day in which people are called Nazis for speaking the truth.
Do you notice also the word fair?
It isn't fair.
Well, this is fundamentally where a hysterical and feminist society will take us to a place of equality that is utterly oppressive.
And so Lewis writes the following, which I think is a rather savage.
Takedown of female rule.
He says this, and then the head, and he's talking about the head mistress, but he capitalizes head so you don't miss this.
And then the head, who was, by the way, a woman, came running out to see what was happening.
And Lewis writes, she had hysterics, and the head was behaving like a lunatic.
After that, the head's friends saw that the head was no use as a head, so they made her an inspector to interfere with other heads.
They created an HR department.
And when they found that, this is really good, and when they found that she wasn't much good, even at that, they got her into parliament where she lived happily ever after.
Courageous Men Confront Fear00:15:55
Thank you.
C.S. Lewis based.
Right?
And we'll get to this in a minute, but women in politics, it's a controversial issue, but it leads inevitably to the longhouse.
The point is simple here, yet wildly offensive to modern sensibilities.
Anywhere women replace men in places of rule, and that includes the family and the church and society, you will get the longhouse.
You will get a society consumed by hysterics and gross injustice.
Yes, they will claim they are all about equality and fairness and tolerance, but it will produce moral chaos.
You don't think the moral chaos in America is disconnected to the 1960s and feminism, do you?
By refusing God's natural order of male rule, American society has embraced the curse that Isaiah foretold when he said this As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
This is an indictment on our culture.
So, now the next question how did we get here, and how was the longhouse built?
Well, first, the church caved to feminism instead of upholding God's natural order.
Of male rule in the home church and in society.
I won't belabor this point because Joel just made the pitch for a new Christendom book, Honor Thy Fathers, by Zach Garrus.
But if you're wondering more about this, see Work Cited with Zach Garrus on Honor Thy Fathers.
It's a great book.
And he goes through the Reformed tradition on these teachings.
They are not novel, so they're not new, and they have stood the test of time.
We have to go back and find and rediscover and establish the ancient landmarks.
So that was number one the church caved to feminism.
And number two, as a culture, we also embrace the lie of feminism.
Have you ever heard someone say, well, first wave and second wave, they weren't so bad?
They weren't so bad.
But let's look for a moment at the roots of feminism.
You see, where statist Soviet Marxism failed, the Gramsian form of cultural Marxism succeeded.
Largely, it did so through social institutions first the academy, then in corporations, bureaucracies, media, and finally in the home.
In the 20th century, the first and primary advocate of feminism, of course, was Betty Friedan.
She was born Betty Naomi Goldstein to Jewish immigrants from Russia.
I'm just reading the facts here, people.
These are just the facts.
Look it up on Wikipedia, I promise.
Every time.
That's right.
You see, Betty Friedan was a Marxist agitator who studied.
Under Eric Erickson, who was born in no other place than Frankfurt, Germany.
He himself studied under Sigmund Freud's daughter, Anna, who worked in child psychology.
He was the inventor of the term identity crisis.
And yes, by the way, this is the same Frankfurt, Germany, where critical race theory blossomed and spread.
You see, Friedan would write The Feminine Mystique, which spawned the most recent waves of feminism in America.
The whole point was to undermine father rule.
In the home and society, and it's been quite effective, hasn't it?
Rather than oppose this radical Marxist teaching, the church and American society instead sadly embraced it.
The third thing that happened was that this infested our education system.
So, other critical theorists from Frankfurt, Germany, include Herbert Marcuse, who coined the term repressive tolerance, which is what the left loves so much, and they made their long march through the education system.
Now, originally we had the new left, but this has since become the radical left, which now controls all education K through 12.
And you could ask another question about this.
Well, how effective have the Marxists been in shaping the education system and society?
Consider one stat.
In the 2024 election, non college educated white women, no college, white women, they cast 63% of their vote for Republican candidates.
While roughly 60% of white women with a college education all voted for Democrats.
College has been quite effective in shaping the political landscape of our nation.
There has been a simple formula you control education, you control the children, and you control the future.
And again, if you want more on this, see Abigail Schreier's book, Bad Therapy, Particularly with Child Psychology.
It's really how the transgender movement infiltrated.
As well.
And fourth and finally, I'll say this that feminism infested our workforce.
So, education, now the workforce.
Where do all those college educated leftist women go?
By the way, I didn't make up that term.
Joel Kotkin refers to this the single woke female is on the rise, one of the most important voting blocks in America and most powerful at present.
All these women went out of the home and into the workforce.
Again, major push of the feminist movement from the 60s.
As we've already shown, many of them will go on to run HR departments and to control behavior norms across society.
Now, the fun part how can we destroy the longhouse?
How do we actually take an axe to this idle tree and tear it down?
Well, I think today we have fundamentally a crisis of conviction.
In the longhouse, truth becomes weak and insignificant.
But Western civilization was built on the basis of firm Christian conviction and principle.
I go back to Isaac in the Old Testament wandering in the desert, and his people are potentially dying of thirst.
And what did Isaac do?
Well, he went back and he found his father Abraham's ancient wells, and he redugged them.
You see, the Philistines had stopped them up, but he took the time not to invent something new.
Not to look for something fashionable, but to go to the old wells of wisdom and learning.
And so, in our time, our society is a bit like the Ninevites.
They didn't know their left hand from their right, and neither do we.
We don't know which bathroom we should actually be using.
So, we have to go back to the old wells and to the ancient paths of our church fathers and read what they actually wrote and said about things like sexed piety and roles for men and women in that society.
We have to arrive fundamentally at principled conviction from Scripture that God made men and women for certain things down in their very bones, and this includes the fact that men alone are made to rule in all spheres of life.
And as they say on Haunted Cosmos, see our published work.
Lots of content.
Number two, how do we tear down the longhouse?
Well, we keep revising the history.
You remember the quote from George Orwell.
Who said that if you erase a people's past, you control their future?
The histories we tell ourselves matter greatly.
Here's the thing the Longhouse knows this, and so should you.
For example, did you see how bad the Longhouse melted down when Darryl Cooper from Martyr Maid went on Tucker to talk about World War II?
Why did they lose their mind?
Because they no longer, in that moment, had control of the historical narrative.
Did you see how mad the Reformed gatekeepers got when we revisited the Crusades on the King's Hall?
Why?
Again, because the histories matter.
You see, one of the left's greatest weapons is bad revisionist history.
And so this can be turned against them as well.
We need to keep talking, for example, about Rhodesia.
We need to keep talking about Franco and the Spanish Civil War.
And we also need to keep talking about the real damage that globalists and statists have done.
Liberal democracy has brought upon the world.
You have to keep revising the history.
Number three, don't let your own house be a longhouse.
Don't let your own home be that very same longhouse.
And if you hear nothing else in tonight's talk, I would encourage you to hear this point because I think it is the quintessential problem with so much of the modern church.
Many are familiar with the tragic death of Tsar Nicholas and his family at the hands of Jewish Bolsheviks.
With his death, Russia was swallowed up by Marxist revolution.
But the real tragedy and the real reason for the collapse of his rule happened much before that.
You see, Nicholas would not confront his wife about Rasputin, who was a drunkard and a sexual degenerate, and who also had a huge influence on political affairs.
When asked why he was too cowardly by his council to remove Rasputin, Nicholas told one official, Better 10 Rasputins than one of the Empress's hysterical fits.
How many men are in that exact same position?
You know, I would correct this issue in the church, but I'm going to hear about it from my wife.
Or I'm going to hear about it from the elders' wives.
You see, too many men in America are living in fear of their wives or their daughters, they are controlled by their hysteria.
And so, for example, we find this is often the case.
People will read a book like Zach's, or they will listen to one of our podcasts, or they'll hear something that Joel said about women reading books, and they will say, Yeah, I agree with you.
I think that is what the Bible teaches.
But then it stops there.
And here's the point conviction alone is not enough.
The real problem, if you were to ask me, and you don't get to, I'm just here, so I'm going to tell you.
Is that these men go home and their own household is run by a hysterical woman.
She is what Scripture calls the reviling wife.
She controls her home like a thermostat with her emotional state.
She will demand that her husband lead.
This is one of the great ironies.
She'll say, You have to step up and you have to lead.
But then she will freak out if he ever tries to exercise any real authority.
One of my favorite scenes from The Office.
Which typifies this is Ryan.
And many of you will have seen the real, but he says this I want guidance.
I want leadership.
But don't just like boss me around, you know?
Like lead me.
Lead me when I'm in the mood to be led.
Many of us have mistakenly thought that that was genuine headship and submission, and it's not.
Now, the same man probably goes to church where the pastors or elders are in the exact same predicament.
They too are ruled by their wives.
And so he's in a real pickle.
Because if he goes to them for help, they will typically blame her sins on him.
Well, if you just led better, she wouldn't be like this.
And thus, he is stuck under her tyranny.
And so, let me recommend another book to you.
It's like a long pitch for New Christian Press tonight.
We have a new book coming out from David Edgington.
I think this will be one of our more important books in the coming year, and it is titled White Knights and Reviling Wives How Feminism Destroys Families.
And so, for the many men that we've talked to who are stuck in this kind of relationship, this is a practical and pastoral guide to actually confronting the sins of a wife like this.
It will show you how to actually get help and to destroy the longhouse in your own midst, and you must.
You can't be concerned about society if the longhouse is inside your own walls.
Number four, you need a tribe of courageous men.
You need a tribe of courageous men.
In other words, for the Anans, keep vibing with the boys.
And boys is, it has an I in it, okay, not a Y.
And this is really actually very important.
I think about all the turmoil and the tumult that many of us went through as leaders in the last year.
It's good to have friends like Joel Webbin.
It's good to have friends who stand by you in the thick of the onslaught.
Well, think about this.
What do the Longhouse gynocrats hate the most?
What was so offensive to them in the last couple of years?
Well, the most powerful thing, it seems, was the ethos of something like White Boy Summer.
Yeah.
I saw Pip Vipers in here.
I know you're here.
Right?
Joyful with a touch of rambunctious fun.
Tie it to a post mill swagger.
Even if you're Stephen Wolfe, you have to tie it to that.
Mandate it.
You have to have kind of this gregarious attitude.
We are going to win.
We are so back.
You have to embrace the JD Vance.
I don't really care, Margaret.
We're going to keep vibing with the boys.
Now, think of the Native American contest.
How do you escape the longhouse?
We actually form bands of men who hunt and track and make war.
You literally sometimes have to get up and leave the longhouse and find a tribe of men.
And so, one of the things that we say in Ogden is that you need a tribe that believes in theological maximalism.
This is a core value for us.
It simply means that we apply all of Scripture to all of life.
There are no problem passages at Refuge Church.
The more you are around courageous men who are also willing to confront the longhouse, And to address female sins, the more you will be courageous yourself.
And so find your tribe.
Embrace Safetyism or Risk00:02:23
Number five, you have to embrace a policy of safety.
Third, yes, the school moms want you to stop smoking and doing anything dangerous, and then you say, Margaret, I don't care.
We're going to do it anyway.
Right?
This is related to vibes and tribes.
You need to find one that embraces not the policy of safetyism and fear.
But of what we call safety third.
Right?
Safety third.
It was Mike Rowe who pointed this out in his great show, Dirty Jobs.
If safety really is first, you will never do anything meaningful.
You will never take risk.
You will never build that business.
You will never go on great adventures.
You simply won't do it.
You'll remain stuck where you are.
Safety cannot be first.
And as we've seen with some of the speakers, Calvin Robinson spoke of this as well.
It may mean that you have to say things that get you in trouble because they are true things.
And we need to do that.
Number six, you have to get stronger and then post physique.
You have to do it.
How's your deadlift?
Okay?
Whereas the longhouse runs on seed oils and soy and sclerotic weakness, we must be about sun and steel healthy, strong, dangerous, competent, well controlled men.
Watch what happens, by the way, in many of the pietist camps.
Anytime one of our guys posts a video of the boys working out, right?
The pietists come in.
Well, you know, real spirituality is about knowing Christ, right?
Yes, I know that.
But the body matters.
Your body belongs to the Lord.
So make it as strong as you possibly can.
Take care of your body.
Think about which food goes into your body.
This is all very important.
The gynocracy wants you weak.
And so be strong.
This will drive the Longhouse matriarchs crazy, but it is part of the way in which we win.
Number seven, personal favorite, meme them harder.
Refuse the Gynocracy Vibe00:13:44
This is actually kind of funny to me.
Why were people so upset about the memes?
Well, it has an 80s synth wave vibe to it.
This is just childish.
Yeah, that's the point.
It's great.
We're having fun.
They're campy memes with the boys.
But there is something here, actually, about a sense of humor and about cultivating, again, an ethos and a vibe.
They will melt down in oblivion when you share them.
And so I'm giving you permission, and you don't need it, but just keep doing it.
Make your rational, logical arguments, and then laugh and ridicule and playfully scorn their stupid positions.
There's a vibe to this thing, and it's important.
And that's why it's so effective, and it's why the Longhouse hates it.
Number eight, we need to develop education that has a distinctly masculine presence.
This is so important.
I remember years ago, Rush Limbaugh talked about this major theme where conservative dads would send their daughters off to college and they would say, She came back a liberal, and I don't know what happened.
Right?
Now she hates everything that I love, everything that I believe.
I sent my kids to the public school and they came back and they have smartphones and they know how to find pornography.
Where did they learn all these things?
Well, in my estimation, I think too many conservatives are simply being dumb or passive when it comes to education.
There is literally no secret that public education from K to 12 to college is vehemently opposed in every way to the Christian faith.
That is not a secret.
And yet people will say, well, go there, let's hope it turns out okay.
Yes, some people survive plane crashes, but I don't think we should be crashing the plane on purpose just to see if it works out.
This education system in America is the catechumen class for the demon cult of the left.
There is no better factory for atheists and apostates than the modern school system.
And so, as Christians, we must reject this option.
Now, part of the reason the school system is so bad, and this will be like right wing watch offensive.
Why is it so bad?
It's because it's ruled by hysterical women.
Now, an all female school, especially for boys in their teens, I would argue, is not ideal, but it is especially not ideal if they are all the worst kind of God hating leftists.
What we need in schools for our boys is male presence and male rule expressed in those same institutions.
And you might ask yourself yeah, well, what do you do about this sort of thing?
I'll whet your appetite just briefly.
And talk about some of the things that we've done in Ogden.
Many of you have gone back to the new Christendom booth and you've met Mr. Ethan Sen, and he's like a king and a giant of a man, and we love him.
He's a pastor at the church, but he's also leading the third and fourth form, which is like our older high school boys.
Ethan was an A 10 pilot, and Ethan is a man's man.
He's the kind of guy you look to and you say, I want my sons to be like him.
And it's good for teenage boys, for example, to have PT tests from Pastor Sen.
That's good for them.
They need to be around men, particularly in the teenage years.
The other thing we've done to heed C.S. Lewis' teaching and warning is we've hired a male headmaster.
And yes, you can just do things.
Make your teachers, especially in older ages, men.
Number nine men need places to work that are not controlled.
By the HR longhouse.
As I've already shown, the workplace is a longhouse because it is run by hysterical women and again with HR departments.
But the problem in America runs deeper than this.
In all the jobs that men are so well suited to doing, working with their hands, like the trades and like manufacturing, well, these jobs have largely been displaced.
Manufacturing has been shipped overseas.
We do not love our neighbors when we do this just so we can have cheap junk from Amazon.
Manufacturing jobs are important for middle class men, especially.
Right now, our economy is dominated by nurturing professions that women tend to feel.
So, healthcare, teaching, childcare, food services, things that are like a housewife.
We send them into the workforce to do them.
So, another question related to this.
What's the way out for men?
Well, number one, we need to revive the trades.
I think this is what Mike Rowe was seeing so many years ago.
We need to celebrate and revive a centuries old tradition of valuing craftsman level work in the trades.
We need to show men that it is dignified work to work with your hands.
And second, and related to this, we need men to start and buy and own and operate small to medium sized businesses that refuse to play by the longhouse rules.
You actually don't need an HR department.
Again, if you're interested in this, I would direct you to Mr. David Reese, Pastor David Reese.
Reese Fund back in the corner, he is literally doing this work.
So if you want to talk to a wise man about how to get out of the corporate longhouse, talk to David.
That would be a good starting point.
Number 10, and we're getting close to the end, I promise, in a Joel kind of way.
Number 10, we need to confront the ways in which the conservative movement.
Is the longhouse in a skin suit.
This is where it kind of hits home, right?
Because we have all the favorite people that we listen to on the conservative spectrum, but they're the same people that are celebrating when Dave Rubin and his husband are adopting children.
This is the longhouse.
Part of our task is that we have a prophetic role.
Obviously, most of you have probably seen that there's a shifting vibe on the political spectrum.
There is now a resurgent right.
The left is doing what the left does, talking about mutilating children.
Being Tim Waltz, I don't know what he's doing, self imploding every minute.
And we do have an opportunity, but we have to speak prophetically to our friends on the right and call them to repentance, even if they temporarily hate us for it, and they probably will.
So, important question to ask within the conservative movement What aren't you allowed to talk about?
You're finding the longhouse in many ways when you find this.
What subjects are considered taboo?
The conservative movement also has hate speech norms, don't they?
We have to see the ways in which the conservative movement operates as a longhouse, sometimes with a skin suit, sometimes not.
So, a few examples the conservative dad's real women of America swimsuit calendar with Riley Gaines.
I mean, it's great that she was going against the trans stuff, but come on, it's like now you're going to sell young women in swimsuits to dads as though that was a good thing.
And the question for us as conservatives and Christians do you have the courage to confront that?
What about Dennis Prager's support of AI child porn and his endorsement of sex outside of marriage?
What about that?
What about Nancy Mace and her support of women in the military and then the celebration of fornication as well?
She's opposing the trans thing, but she's also in favor of bringing women into the military.
What about Ben Shapiro's hostility toward anyone who dare criticize Israel in any way?
Why are we not allowed to talk about those things?
If you want to defeat the longhouse, you have to clean up in the camp as well.
Number 11, Papa's, this is like a country song gone wrong.
Papa's, don't let your daughters grow up to be boss babes.
This one hits close to home because many in our camp are going through this process where they're thinking about sex piety.
But then there's all these spaces where, like, yeah, I don't know, but my wife really likes that podcast.
I'm not sure what I should think about it.
Do you tell your daughters that the primary or the only way that she can fulfill her calling is by being loud and agonistic in the public space about political issues?
If you do, you might be helping build the longhouse.
Do you tell her that her highest calling is?
Will be away from the home in the political realm.
You are, in fact, building the longhouse when you do this.
When we celebrate sending our daughters to work in politics in Washington, D.C., which many call Sodom on the Potomac, you are building the longhouse.
And so, what we need to do is fully recover Titus II womanhood the woman who is glorious because she builds up her husband's household, she cares for her children, and she establishes a thriving home.
So I plead with you, please stop setting before your girls boss babes as heroes.
And yes, I mean the conservative ones.
Number 12, and coming to an end say true things, no matter how unpopular.
We have to speak to the taboo.
You cannot live by the rules set for speech by the longhouse.
You have to absolutely refuse on this point.
In the Christian nation we're seeking to build, we will call gay things gay.
That will happen.
We will refuse to use their stupid pronouns.
And yes, hold the Judeo, I'll take the Christian.
Thank you very much.
We will not eat your bugs, and we will enjoy our own owned space.
We will not be participating in your struggle sessions or your performative denouncements.
We will not be canceling our friends for holding regime unapproved opinions, and we will not be signing your declarations.
Instead, I asked Ben, I said, do you think they'll get that one?
I think they got it.
We're not canceling our friends simply because we disagree with them on any number of issues.
Instead, we must embrace the honest and reasonable conversations about taboo subjects and inconvenient truths.
Again, you have to ask yourself the question what am I not allowed to say?
And then you do this really crazy thing you say it.
Yes, I agree with the panel.
We have to be prudent, but what we need above all is also courage.
You have to say things that will get you in trouble.
And when you do, have a friend like Joel who says crazier things, and then you seem kind of moderate.
The other thing that we have to face, I think, in the reform camp, it's not about saying things that were brave 10 years ago.
Their ministry or their whole message about saying what was brave in Calvin's day.
But what we need to do is say the brave things that are brave today.
Know the times by all means, be prudent, know your principles, but then speak bravely on the most pressing issues that are afflicting your people today.
This is the work of a shepherd.
Think about how Paul drove off the wolves.
Well, the feminists are wolves and they are preying upon our people.
So I plead, especially with pastors, do not remain silent.
We made a decades long mistake as churches by not addressing this problem.
So we must begin now.
I encourage you, friends, to find the front lines of the cultural battle, find the Longhouse's favorite idols, and start swinging your axe.
