Ethnogenesis isn’t sinful in itself, but like procreation, it can be righteous (i.e. natural) or sinful (i.e. unnatural), depending on how it occurs.

The Naturalization Act of 1790 was the first U.S. law to define who could become a citizen. Signed into law by George Washington himself, the act highlights how the Founders perceived a degree of common kinship as integral to the state.

Ethnic identity, like any complex thing, is made from parts — but that doesn’t make it fake. Just as ingredients make a cake, ancestry, culture, and history form a people.

Plato (427–347 BC), educated under Socrates in Athens, was a Greek philosopher, mathematician, and foundational political theorist. In his work The Republic he recognised the importance of a shared kindred feeling within society.

Happy Lord’s day! Praying that everyone may experience a joyful and Merry Christmas with their kin this week.

Scripture reveals a twofold kinship: by flesh (natural) and by Spirit (Spiritual). Understanding this distinction is necessary to rightly understand Christian moral and social duty.

@Kinism

John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French theologian, pastor and reformer during the Protestant Reformation. He recognised the twofold nature of kinship and urged continual faithfulness to both man’s natural and spiritual relations.

@Kinism

In a disaster, those nearest spatially are of most help, that’s obvious. To claim this overrides natural affection for kin or applies to all of life, however, is a gross leap in logic and interpretation.

Property theory examines how claims to land are morally and socially justified, recognising that land has no inherent owner at a natural or microscopic level. It asks what gives a people the right to claim, hold, and belong to a land.

St. Augustine (354-430) was a North African bishop, theologian, and philosopher whose writings profoundly shaped Western Christianity. He likewise recognised a twofold kinship: one of blood and one of religion (i.e. faith).

@Kinism

In Scripture, nations are understood as kinship relations rather than civic ones.

Sir Henry Parkes (1815-1896) was an Australian politician and statesman, widely regarded as the “Father of Federation” for his leading role in uniting the Australian colonies. He too stressed the value of kindred feeling within society.

Happy Shrove Tuesday! May the coming Lenten season be a time of renewal, drawing you closer to God and strengthening your faith.

Charlie Downes, the Spokesman and Campaigns Director at Restore Britain, a writer for The Daily Mail, and a contributor to GB News, LBC, TalkTV, and Lotus Eaters, stands firm on the point that the kindred peoples of the British isles are unique and have the right to exist.

@Kinism

The English language has many origins — yet no one questions the reality of it. So why question the reality of the English ethnic group / nation for the same reason?

@Kinism

Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the risen Christ, who conquered sin and death. In His resurrection, creation itself is renewed, and the bonds of kinship are made whole.

@Kinism

Suella Braverman, former Home Secretary of the United Kingdom, is not herself a kinist, yet she explicitly draws on kinist themes of ancestry and kinship when discussing social categorisation and identity.

@Kinism

Happy St. George’s Day! In the English legend, St. George is an English knight who slays a dragon. That he was not truly English matters no more to the legend’s meaning than the fact that he was not a knight and never slew a dragon.

@Kinism

Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) was a medieval Italian friar, priest, and scholastic thinker. A key principle of his writings is that grace redeems all aspects of nature, from our intellect and desires to our natural kindred relations.

@Kinism

Isidore of Seville (560-636) was a Spanish bishop, encyclopaedist, and Doctor of the Church whose Etymologiae became one of the most widely read works in medieval Christendom. He too grounded nationhood in birth and descent itself, defining a “gens” as a people sharing a single origin.
