Auron MacIntyre did a whole podcast the other day on the Conservatives v Leftist heatmap meme where the left loves space rocks more than their next of kin.
MacIntyre's point was that from a Christian perspective, a wider compassion for others is still valid, but also must be prioritized so that charity starts at home.
He also emphasized the slacktivism phenomenon where prioritizing abstract external things earns leftist virtuous rewards but requires little personal investment or sacrifice.
Prioritizing those around us first comes with more costs, because those individuals have flaws like everyone does that we must experience. They also demand other precious resources like our time rather than just the collectivized common tax dollars.
I recently subscribed to his podcast but have only listened to one episode so far.
What you are saying reminds me of those on the left who say “I want every child to be educated so I support public schooling” or “nobody should go hungry”. That or complaining about the wealthy. Like you said there is plenty you can do in your own community to help feed the hungry or tutoring kids or anything. I like that my church really gets involved in our local area.
He hosts some guests that are otherwise fringe for Con Inc.
He is also outspoken at times talking about blackpilled stuff beyond simply the Democrat v. Republican divide and will criticize Trump when it's valid.
The other segment was reviewing that Sam Seder v. Sarak Stock debate clip about xenophobia and American identity that was going viral recently.
MacIntyre did a great job taking Seder apart re: the "America has no culture" and the melting pot myth. But at the same time as he repeatedly called Seder a dishonest subversive who mischaracterizes the Founding Fathers and Christian principles, he didn't once mention Seder's Jewish roots. Nor the Jewish roots of the melting pot.
So again, MacIntyre will only go so far, likely because of his association with The Blaze and Glenn Beck.
I don't need commentators to sperg about the Jews constantly. But if you won't even acknowledge the demographics of your enemies, it's a problem.
I think we’re reaching a point where our progress has a hard ceiling defined by our willingness to publicly “notice”. Hiding your power level is a great way to prevent overwhelming opposition from completely destroying you, but then you end up arguing entirely by proxy. And proxy arguments eventually run up against insurmountable walls that prevent you from directly and explicitly addressing your true interests.
Now the philosemites will accuse the preceding paragraph of being coded anti-Jewishness, but it really isn’t. My position isn’t white supremacy - it’s white dignity. I think white peoples should have homelands and cultures that are actively preserved and defended. This is the same respect I extend to every other nation and culture, assuming that they do not infringe upon such rights for my tribe.
The question you need ask yourself is: why does advocating for these rights for white peoples always result in accusations of antisemitism? Why does standing up for the basic dignity of your people necessarily require you to oppose the interests of the Jewish demographic?
Put another way: why are your only choices the extinction of your people/culture/nation or antisemitism? What does that tell you?
I may be biased because the two hosts are cursed to be born Canadian like me.
But they are free thinkers, sardonic and host a whole slew of dissident guests that I've never even heard of.
The two hosts are Dimes and Judas. Dimes works in marketing near Toronto and Judas used to run a furniture factory on Hong Kong.
If possible, I'd try to listen to an episode where Dimes interviews another guest, which tend to be solo shows without Judas.
Dimes and Judas also do semi-regular shows together about current events and books that Dimes reads.
I find the book reviews to be more difficult to listen to without having read the book, but he does do pretty comprehensive summaries of the author and the philosophy and arguments within.
It's also more true to effectiveness. It's easy to claim you're more loving if you love more things a little, and make impassioned pleas for their betterment.
It's much harder to claim you love your bother who you have to deal with, who slurps his soup and makes crude jokes. Ugh.

MacIntyre is alright. I listen from time to time.
He hosts some guests that are otherwise fringe for Con Inc.
He is also outspoken at times talking about blackpilled stuff beyond simply the Democrat v. Republican divide and will criticize Trump when it's valid.
He's still somewhat of a limited hangout though.
I think the Space Rock episode was from yesterday. I listened to the whole thing last night when I was killing myself shoveling snow.

Another one that comes to mind is Blood Satellite.

Compassion for the undeserving is cruelty to the deserving.
