  As a Black Orthodox Christian, I agree with this completely! I don't see how other people could listen to this and not understand! 🙏

    Did you watch the video? Do you know what the immigration regulations before 1965 were? I put them on the screen. Also, your name: "Liam", where's that from? :)

    There are plenty of Muslims, illegals, and criminals that could be deported to establish a super majority that are not him, correct. But go on answer, your name "Liam" where does that come from?

  I shudder at the thought of the Orthodox Church being unintentionally complicit in the erasure of Whites in their home countries by silencing them with labels like "nationalist" or "racist" whenever they mention their replacement.

  Why is it only white countries that need "diversity"?

  You're basically posting the same content as the person called "Real Benjamin" who by the way blocked me after I discussed this video with him in the comments. To begin with racial discrimination between churches such as a Serbian not being allowed to join the Russian Orthodox Church and vice versa and more generally speaking of Orthodox churches as ethnic churches is an idea condemned by the Council of Constantinople held in the 19th century. Even the Bible says that before the confusion of languages at Babel all humanity was one in language and gathered in the same place and afterward they were scattered. So the foundation is that all human beings are one and this is what the saints taught. As for whether there are different ethnic groups today yes there are. But the saints speak here about Orthodox nationality and not ethnic nationalism. Russia before Orthodoxy consisted of tribes that were not united. What made Russia great was Orthodoxy. Therefore we honor Orthodox nationality. So yes a non-Serb can be Serbian culturally but not ethnically because one person may be descended from Shem the son of Noah while another may be descended from Japheth the son of Noah. But the point is that we are all one. The martyred Father Daniel Sysoev also spoke about race and said that all human beings are one in our Lord and God Jesus Christ the Son of the living God glory be to Him and…

    For example Saint and Martyr Elizabeth may her intercession be with us all Amen was originally from Hesse Germany but in her letters she described herself as Russian refused to leave Russia and considered Russia her homeland and here she is also speaking from an Orthodox perspective.

    Literally no one is talking about restricting parish membership or participation by race. This is a political question. If a visiting serb comes to America, he can commune provided we are in communion. The school system truly failed you midwits

    Regarding the Eastern Roman Empire, read the book "Romanland: Ethnicity and Empire in Byzantium" by Kaldellis. Byzantine kids were as racist as it gets. There is a story from the primary sources of village kids stoning an ascetic and chasing him out of their town because he wore a funny hat and they thought he was Bulgarian. 😂 "Get out of here, Bulgarian monk!" (literal quote). The idea that to be Roman meant to be Orthodox is a later misconception that owes much to the Ottoman faith-based millet system.

    You want to be different, right? "Look at me, I'm different," lol. First of all, assuming the story is true, then it is completely unacceptable. But do you really think that a country with millions of people is entirely racist, in your opinion? And yes, the Eastern Roman Empire, during its final years, began to get involved in Ecumenist movements, and that is why it fell. When it was firmly committed to Orthodoxy, it was at the peak of its spiritual and worldly strength. As for the state, racism is prohibited by law. So if a racist group is found to exist, then the problem lies with that group, not with the civilization as a whole.

    Then there is Russia, which was referred to as the "Third Rome" in the Orthodox tradition and was seen as the successor to the Byzantine Empire. This is also why the double-headed eagle appears in the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. Therefore, the concept of Romanness as a culture is common even within the Church, and it is more prevalent than the idea of it being purely an ethnicity. Yes, there is a Roman ethnicity, but there is also a cultural Romanness. Our Roman culture is Orthodox Christianity, because Orthodoxy was fundamentally what built and shaped this Roman culture in the first place.

  St. Paul said it best to the Galatians, 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus." The Law comes down to two parts: how to love God, and how to love your neighbor. If race is your religion, just admit it. Very lukewarm stuff lol, you should be worrying about your offense to God like the church calls us to. I'm Hispanic, Native to Texas. I'm also a Greek convert. If you want to be with Europeans or Germans so badly, go do it, or are you so assimilated you don't even speak their language anymore.

  Also St Nikolaj Velimirovic: > Thirdly, because, as I mentioned earlier, the Serbs, racially and psychologically, subconsciously carry India within themselves. **__For they themselves originated from India.__** `St Nikolaj Velimirovic, Indian Letters, Letter 21, 1941/1942` Also, > But you must agree that in our time this **__war demonic frenzy__** (demonic frenzy/raving madness of the white race) **__has seized the white race especially__**. ... **These are the peoples of the white race, __the peoples called 'Christian.'__** In preparing for a new war, or new wars, they lead all the other peoples and tribes of the globe. `St Nikolaj Velimirovic, War and the Bible, 1931/1932` Also, > These are proofs. But there are also signs foretelling a new war: for example, the growing distrust of one state toward another, **__racial and national hatred,__** and especially the universal gloomy foreboding and agitation of minds on all five continents. `St Nikolaj Velimirovic, War and the Bible, ARMAMENTS, 1931/1932` ^ Interesting that the "proofs" the Saint lists are reasons the "white race of Christians" will start wars, and then he names racial and national hatred as condemnable, which goes against Aryanism. Also, > I can tell you confidentially, that everything which I printed before 1924 I would not have wanted to ever be reprinted. **__And even in later books there are errors in some…

  I was born in Venezuela, raised in the United States, and I'm a US citizen. I am American, and what defines that is the constitution...not anyone else...

  How do you wrestle with Americas founders perverting Christian ideals? "All men are created equal", yet enforce one of the most barbaric forms of slavery in human history. Seems like this country has the same principles as Egypt, babylon, rome, etc biblically

  I believe in "patriotism" but we're all only one race. Unless you're an alien. There's no such thing as a humanity that doesn't include itself. The human "race" is only one race. Defending land or homes is different and patriotism can be expressed without racism.

  Native Americans were here first. Getting called out by Father Moses on your first video wasn't enough and now you're doubling down. I seriously doubt the priest at whatever church you attend would agree with you, I'll pray for you☦️.

  I get it, but at the end of the day America and other colonial creations like it are by definition a mixed bag. It wasn't just anglos who came here early on it was Germans, Italians etc not even considering the already existing native and later Mexican/Spanish culture. Yes America might be more than an idea, but who are the people exactly? Cuz at the end of the day Black slaves later became emancipated and also dramatically effected our society to say it nicely lmao. Who are Americans? I guess that's my question, because I see multiple groups of people comprising America and other colonial creations like it. How can we stand for the American if we don't really know what that means you know? Is an American only someone with European ancestory? What are we saying here
• − opinion#631 1 likes at the source

  Yeah, America doesn't fit into that category, because real intellect means seeing that even God says racism and discrimination are wrong. Cultures differ, but under God we're one, and culture is learned, adaptive, and always changing through interaction, environment, and history. God sent his only begotten son (who, by the way, wasn't white 😭) as the literal example of a perfect human. Follow that example. Also, Moses married a Kushite (Hebrew) / Aithiopissa (Greek), and remind me what God did to his sister who criticized that marriage, and based on what exactly?

  I had never even heard of Orthodox Christianity before, I found it after Charlie Kirk's dea th. I was raised in a Catholic country (Puerto Rico) but my whole family converted to Protestant and non denominational churches. Funny thing, I asked my dad what the Orthodox Church was and he was so chill about it: "they are the primitive, first and real church." Then why was I raised Protestant? No answer. American culture, with all its man made religions, has kept the Orthodox Church hidden, generation after generation of Catholics and Martin Luther's made up egomaniac salvation theology. The more I read and connect with an Orthodox life, the more baffled I am by the US and western creeds. The non denominational stuff has wrecked the essence of Christianity. It's sad and devastating. Thank Goodness I found Orthodoxy.

  It's because a lot of non wh1tes aren't actually as proud of their nation and culture as they claim. They set foot on American or European soil and instantly claim the nation as theirs without being able to assimilate, but assimilation is a lie anyway. Don't give in and hand over our identity. They treat our wh1te nations like economic zones, free for the taking. America doesn't need a 1000 years of history to be a distinct tribe like our kindred in Europe, it's a regathering of the tribes of Europe on another continent.

  Using the imperial Japanese flag is just insensitive... they mass raped, tortured and k1lled innocent people all over South East Asia. I was born here in Malaysia and the stories I hear from elders who lived through the Japanese occupation are horrible. Very Christian of you to fly that flag.
• − opinion#633

  What counts as American is defined in the constitution. You're the one being intellectually dishonest when you compare a 250 year old country with birthright citizenship to places like Japan or Ethiopia that have existed for thousands of years and were never built that way.

  here's where you're wrong. Non christian globalism is the anti christ. Christian globalism is the opposite. Homogenous or not. Christian globalism and the church as the fatherland, His brothers by blood who live EVERYWHERE on earth. The Church is our blood and life.

  a people can't be reduced to DNA blood quantum or a list of principles. what defines a people is whoever is willing to stand together and fight for their home. when 💩 hits the fan in the US the "stock" americans descended from the mayflower might run off to Portugal or some silly place like that. meanwhile whoever stays and fights for dignity and independence is the real American, even if they're ethnically Somali or whatever

  There's a difference between a culture and an ethnicity, even if the same word gets used for both. Not understanding this is just a word concept fallacy. If I move to America and fully take on the culture, I become culturally American. If my ancestry comes from a particular culture, that's my ethnicity. You need this distinction to understand American history at all. The founders were culturally American but not ethnically American. Their ancestral line that stayed in America became ethnically American.

  This video is a lot better than the last one. You went from an overly rationalistic take to something better. I still think it's a bit cope when Americans talk about an American ethnicity and then count someone like a Lithuanian (for example) as American. But whatever, still better overall than the last one
