White, Male,
Christian, and Anti-
war — the new way of saying “free white and 21” and “boys will be boys.
This new coinage is attributed to Marjorie Taylor Greene who was describing the antics of 21 year old Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira. Greene, in fact, praised Teixeira as a hero of the MAGA cause in the tradition of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Teixeira illegally obtained classified and top secret documents and leaked them onto the
internet via the Discord chat app.
Well…boys will be boys; and, he was free White and 21 after all. He was just sewing his wild oats while committing both treason and espionage for Jesus.
Green’s coinage has, at its core, the implication that White, male, Christians, who are against financial and military support for Ukraine are an oppressed and endangered group of Americans.
Linguistically, this is another example of new boutique terminology to describe old social and political power dynamics; and the comfortable resurgence of traditional forms of American ignorance which has recently been termed
Christian Nationalism.
Jack Teixeira Is White, Male,
Christian, and Anti-
war; he’s a hero! And, he definitely shouldn’t be prosecuted for illegally obtaining classified and top secret documents; leaking them onto the
internet; and, committing acts of both treason and espionage.
