Join us as we navigate the intricate world of the right-wing movement, spotlighting our vibrant online community, Avoiding Babylon. In a space where we chat about everything from the nitty-gritty of photographing firearms to the elegance of ideological debate, our interactions are never short of colorful anecdotes and surprising insights. Hear my personal tale of dealing with an unexpected critique on my religious stance, offering a glimpse into the sometimes contentious but always engaging discussions we have with those both inside and outside our circle.As we unpack the rise and fall of fascism, we venture into its historical layers, revealing nuances that are often overlooked. From its dual identity as a political and economic system to the potential rise of a strongman in today's shifting democracies, the conversation takes a critical look at how these themes influence our current reality. We even touch on the role of technology in altering the course of revolutions, challenging conventional narratives about power and change.In the final stretch, we tackle the charged topics of race, culture, and religion within the evolving right-wing landscape. Figures like Trump and JD become focal points for discussions on nationalism and the shifts in cultural identity, especially in the context of interracial and intercultural unions. We explore the enduring influence of Catholicism in shaping civilizations, all while keeping things light with cultural humor and pride.

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity. As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace.  Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”
