"The Wotan Network" Part 2 - How to Exploit a God

Image
In my last post , I raised the alarm about Stephen McNallen's latest endeavor, which appears to not only involve partnering with out-lout-n-proud AltRight Red Ice Media, but utilizing Apocalyptic Rhetoric in order to push a racist agenda under a Heathen veneer. Now I'm sure everyone's curious about my closing statement from part 1, so let's get to the action. "[...]where I try to figure out just why McNallen's somehow willing to throw Wotan under the bus to achieve his goals." Transcript to follow - Video queued to begin in line with transcript (02:29 - 03:16) "Now, I happen to have been a follower of Wotan, under his name of Odin, for some 45 years, and my personal experience is that He is utterly real, if inherently mysterious. But I don't expect my Christian, or Atheist, or Agnostic, or Other friends to agree on that. Instead, I invite them to think of Wotan as Carl Jung, the famous psychologist, did: Namely, as an inherited ...

"The Wotan Network" Part 1 - How to Corrupt a God

Edit Note: The original version was taken down for copyright infringement claims, apparently stemming from the song in the lengthy intro. Timestamps have been changed to reflect the latest version, embedded below. I thought I was done with him. A long and multi-part breakdown of his unscientific views on race should have done the trick. I spoke up against an "elder" who, once he could espouse his views free from association with the organization he founded, could rant his way into obscurity. It's a day for American Gods gifs. I make no apologies. Stephen McNallen is back with another video. This time, the video itself is as slick and polished as the honeyed words the old racist spat out in his previous videos. He has teamed up with Red Ice , an unabashedly racist and white supremacist network. I assume they are responsible for plucking the old man out from in front of his hearth and into the black-backed studio he now speaks from and set him up with all of ...

McNallen's Racism, Point Number Four

Image
When our Adventure into Racism left off, we had not only  destroyed the underlying premise of race  in Point Number One, but the pseudoscientific premise of the argument was put out of it's pitiable misery with  a coup de grace  for Points Two and Three. All of that, a bag of crisps, and we're only halfway through the video! In all honesty, I felt compelled to write all of this specifically to address the content in the last half of the video. The goundwork has been done, the appetizers consumed, and the main course lies before us. Let's dig in and finish this in style, because if you're to wade into the racist pigpen for a rhetorical slaughtering, might as well do it with a smile. Going only a little  mad. I'm fine , really... Fair warning, kids: This will be the longest post yet, because we're going to rip the bandage off all at once and just get this finished.

McNallen's Racism, Points Number Two & Three

Image
No one has said life is easy or perfect. In fact, Heathenry is drowning in struggles and failures, and even winning can look like losing at times. If life were simple, Round One would be a TKO to the entire premise of Stephen McNallen's terrible, no-good, awful video and all the views contained therein. Remove the very basis of all his arguments about race and one should see the rest of the fragile, ego-stuffed Tower of Racism doing exactly what should've happened decades ago... We can let him do it gracefully, but he's still going to fall. But life isn't that simple, and I'm a glutton for punishment (and arguments!). So let's get back into it, shall we? (Cued to line up with the topics discussed in this post) (03:41 - 03:43) "Point Number Two: Race is Important." I'm going to take this opportunity to make some observations in general about racism and how it warps and twists itself to fit within the worldview that the racists an...
