Yesterday I received this letter from Josh Abbotoy, executive director of American Reformer and managing director of New Founding, demanding that I retract and delete a tweet I posted last week re: American Reformer.

I am retracting that claim and have deleted the tweet. My new claim is that an organization called New Founding led by Nate Fischer and Josh Abbotoy and located at the same address as American Reformer in Dallas is working with a Nazi who also publishes pornography.

So my error was claiming that American Reformer partnered with a Nazi. The more correct claim is that another org with broadly similar leadership and listed at the same address called New Founding is partnering with a Nazi, as Fischer himself announced last week.

Thank you for this, Josh. I also should apologize: My tweets from Saturday toward you were rude & unkind. They were also hypocritical, as I did the very sort of QTing I have at other times condemned. So: I am sorry and am asking your forgiveness.

I want to be a fair person. While I do think this Salon article illustrates why winsome third-way ministry that tries to win the left to Christ by being nicer is a foolish strategy, I hadn't actually read @jake_meador 's Atlantic piece that the Salon article was responding to when

On his social media platform, he routinely posts content like this. Note that the quote he shares here is an excerpt from Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler.

In another post, he claims there are "zog chemicals" in shampoo. "zog" refers to "zionist occupational government" and is a common anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.

He also sometimes posts "HH," which is a social media shorthand for "Heil Hitler." Note how his followers respond in kind:

Now let's talk about Man's World. In its first issue, there are multiple pages of pornography. So in addition to being a Nazi, he is also a pornographer. (I will not be linking to the issue or saying what pages the porn is on.)

He also sells "Blood, Soil, and Grass-fed beef." "Blood and soil" was a common Nazi slogan that was also chanted by protestors at the Unite the Right protestors in Charlottesville, VA.

Issue 3 includes an essay on "The Biology of Hierarchy." Issue 4 has BAP promo material, a vile ad on p. 6 joking about how the Taliban's re-conquest of Afghanistan will deprive Afghan women of the chance to create pornography, and an ad for fascist publisher Imperium Press.

Second, I got the chance to write a foreword for this new book from Robin Phillips, a Salvo and Touchstone contributor, and Josh Pauling, who has written for me at Mere O in the past, about our current technological moment:
