...let the reader understand.
They probably have and will, yes. Use legal means, but also trust in Providence, be comfortable with self-defense, etc. Natural Law trumps positive law wherever they conflict.

It goes against Scripture for one thing, but it's also (usually) contrary to the 1st Amendment. The term means too many things to accurately critique it--it depends on who's saying it--but that's exactly how it is being exploited: taking the theonomists' extreme version of it, making that the given meaning, then saying they're "unconstitional" for wanting to remove the 1st Amendment and establish Christianity.
I think the whole thing -- the revived Christian Nationalism -- is a trap.
His ideology is pretty close to that of the founders, if a little too friendly to the "2nd Constitution" of 1964. Also has some blind spots in economics, to be sure. But he is absolutely on point in decoding the tactics and terminology of these enemies of Western Civilization, and for that reason I wholeheartedly recommend people give him a close read/listen.
Shorter: he's saying fight back but don't take the bait. They *want* a violent "drag Floyd" event they can plaster all over the news and use to support their "Christians are domestic terrorists" narrative. Our weapon is truth, not the sword.
Well, I've been listening to and reading his work for a few years now, and I don't think he's controlled opposition. He has done more to expose how the CRT movement has (or is trying to) infect the church than most theologians. His fit was less ideological than it was tactical/strategic. He is more strongly opposed to ESG, DEI, and the LGBTQ agenda than some popular "conservative Christians" I know, too. It's not that he's OK with statues to Satan (he definitely isn't--listen to the last few of his podcasts) it's that the left is baiting Christians into violence and that's exactly what they want us to do. They're trying to build a narrative that Christians *in general* are violent, "domestic terrorists" and we must be surveilled and curtailed. We don't want that. We must object to Satanic sculptures, obviously, but as peaceful pilgrims using legal avenues--not as new crusaders. Does that make sense?
No, he's not anti-Christian. He works very closely with Michael O'Fallon of Sovereign Nations (see yt channel), for example. He is anti-"Christian Nationalism" (as we all should be, IMO). Lindsay is personally agnostic the last I heard. He is an old school liberal; his beef was partly that no persons should destroy the property of others (regardless of either's religion), but more particulalry that the left is baiting Christians into violence in order to justify "the rising danger of Christian Nationalism" and thus get gov support to crack down on it -- and all Christians would fall into that dragnet. An attack like that is giving the left exactly the ammunition they want. "The real action is your target's reaction."
Lindsay is not a Christian, so is not exactly an "ally" but is certainly what Francis Schaeffer called a "co-belligerent" against the forces of collectivism / the modern "woke" who are explicitly anti-liberal (as in classical liberalism).

More properly, CRT is anti-"whiteness"
"Whiteness" is a proxy for, basically, the principles of Western Civilization: private property / capitalism, Greco Roman jurisprudence, Judeo-Christian values, methodological individualism, etc.
