[Insert minority] allies being the most vocal people about [insert minority] justice is... really, hilariously ironic.

Do they think that will save them from the inevitable purges?

Okay, I just acquired a copy of the manifesto for another careful read-through - it has *zero* kinist distinctives in it. Nada. Zilch.

Basically, it seems like there's just a lazy connection being made between "racist + putatively Calvinist" and "kinism".

Maybe this is just me being overly pedantic, but I don't think so. It looks to me more like reddit red pill/yellow vest stuff with a "reformed" patina, honestly.

Doesn't have any agrarian overtones, or anything of the "Walter Scott" tone of so many kinists. So, why kinism?

Just being putatively "Reformed" doesn't make a racist a kinist. There is more to it than that. In fact, his rhetoric goes far beyond kinism, and to different places than kinists typically go. What exactly makes his manifesto "kinist", to you?
I'm not saying this to "help" kinism - quite the contrary. I'm saying this because it's the truth. There's no reason to think he is one, and every reason to believe he isn't. All this will do is feed the persecution complex of a tiny splinter group, and give them free publicity.
There are other sources and movements which result in similar symptoms, but are not in fact kinism. I have no love for kinism, obviously, but misidentifying the origin and distinctives of the shooter's false beliefs won't be helpful.

Kinism is not composed of each and every reformed-adjacent racist, white supremacist, or white nationalist.

It's actually quite distinctive, and lumping everyone who *looks* racist, and also *looks* Reformed into that camp is a tactical (and I believe factual) error.

I just don't do nose-holding when it comes to voting.

I get called a progressive for my opposition to Trump, too.

Usually by people who were all for Clinton's impeachment, but had no problem with a serial adulterer put up as a GOP candidate.

Takes like this are why Twitter is the worst.

How many ignorant accusations of the brethren of the OPC are found in a single hot take?
