I Was Wrong About the ERLC, and Non-Human Animals.

The Turn From Social Justice to a New Self-Critique

This is the story about how I came to know how wrong I was about social justice. Also how wrong I was about the er LC run by Russell Moore and the pro-life movement itself. The names have not been changed here because I want to give credit where credit is certainly due.

First let's let's let's go back to last week. Last week. I was angry when I saw the article called to pause. I made a video about it. If you remember I said in the video that there would be no compromise.

I Said in the video that that the call to pause was wrong and that we would not Surrender and that we were winning the culture wars. In fact, I will take your call to pause and I will take it as a call to put the pressure on turn the heat up.

Because it sounds like we're winning. But afterwards I thought about what the call to pause said. Especially where it said that we needed to listen more to our minority brothers and sisters in Christ.

As a minority myself I knew that I couldn't just ask other people just like me because I've seen many times where these Social justice minded Christians would say hey, you should not listen to people just like you.

I knew I couldn't just listen to other Puerto Ricans. I knew I couldn't just ask black people what they thought because after all Puerto Ricans are more of a minority than black people in this country and and also I'm part Nigerian.

So I couldn't learn anything new by just listening to other African Americans seeing as I'm also African American. So I had to find someone that was even more a minority of myself. In fact after I reflected on this for a long time, I realized that humans themselves.

With a majority in the church. And so what I needed to do if I was going to learn and really lean in and and listen. I needed to check my human privilege. I knew what I had to do. I knew who I had to talk to the ultimate church minority non-human animal Christians, I searched far and wide.

I tried to figure out which is the best animal Christian that I could find and.

I found him. Yeah. So what do you think about American evangelicalism?

Interesting interesting. I never quite thought about it that way before. You know, I'm glad we had this talk. After talking it over with echo I knew that I was wrong last week. It actually is pro-life.

The ERLC Video and the Expansion of Pro-Life Concerns

It's a pro-life issue to make sure that the president does not appoint a judge that will overturn Roe vs. Wade. No, not not at all. Allowing states to ban abortion will only lead to more abortions. We need to keep Killing babies safe and legal if we're gonna truly be pro-life.

So I'd come to some conclusions about my previous work on YouTube and and for a moment I was satisfied. I was preparing a little bit begrudgingly, but I was preparing to shut down my YouTube channel. I had been wrong about social justice warriors, and I was willing to walk away from it all and go quietly.

But then an anonymous Facebook friend was sent sent me a video from the ERLC That literally changed my life. The footage was shoddy and I could only make out parts of it. But instantly I realized the importance of what I was watching.

I Managed to find a cleaner copy of the video where I could make out everything that was being said in its entirety. And here is what I saw.

Well, it's one of those more more interesting issues that the pro-life movement doesn't generally take up. But I've done a little bit of my own work on this and I think non-human animals that obviously not as important as human animals Merit our serious attention.

They're also vulnerable. They're also voiceless. They also are pushed to the margins because they're inconvenient interestingly just like prenatal children are and. There's a growing number of people who are pro-life in that they're anti-abortion but also pro-life and they want to stand up for the dignity of non-human animals and.

That's a that's a leading edge a growing edge if you will of the pro-life movement in 2018.

From Abortion to Animal Rights and Progressive Policy

And just like that I knew Appointing a liberal progressive judge was a pro-life issue. But also assigning animals human rights was also a pro-life issue. In fact, it's the cutting edge of pro-life.

All of these issues were pro-life and I wanted to be consistent. Every progressive liberal talking point was literally a pro-life issue and the church up until now has been on the wrong side of history.

We need to get on board with all of the socialists not just the welfare not just Universal living wages not just universal health care, but everything. The church needs to let toddlers pick their gender that is necessary to maintain a pro-life stance.

Banning dangerous guns and dangerous straws also is necessary. Raising tax rates taxing soda work bans for low skilled workers all of it Is necessary to maintain a consistent pro-life position? We need to make sure we nationalize the means of production make sure that goods are distributed fairly.

Drab clothing and uniforms for all of our comrades are necessary. So nobody stands out because when people dress nicely that of course marginalizes the poor and the oppressed. We need to make sure that we're rationing food just to make sure that we have equitable distribution of food.

You know, what? Death squads. They're needed to maintain order and to preserve life. Gulags likewise. Necessary you must be pro-gulag to be pro-life truly. I Had been wrong this whole time and I and I knew it and I had to tell the world about it.

Socialism as the Only Consistent Pro-Life Position

I did not want to be on the wrong side of history. Not anymore. The reality is that socialism is the only way to be consistently Pro-life and we have seen this in history time and time again. I ask you the church Take this man.

Seriously take these these these Organizations seriously because we do not want to ruin our Christian witness by standing for liberty and freedom the tools of the oppressor. I Hope this was helpful. Take care.
