"content": "The Stars and Stripes is a state flag. It represents the federal republic; the government and its agents. There's confusion over its true purpose because the same republic has existed as long as North American Westerners possessed self-determination. Flying the United States flag only became popular among citizens during the Civil War to display their opposition to Southern secession. Americans generally lost the nuance of what the flag meant after that, but ignorant sentimentalism doesn't change the flag's purpose when it still retains its first and formal role as a state signifier. This naturally means displaying the Stars and Stripes is an expression of loyalty to the United States government itself, exactly like its first use by citizens in the 19th Century.<br /><br />The Stars and Stripes is not an expression of identity for the American people generally. Flags weren't historically used this way at all. Modern nationalist movements in Europe popularized identitarian symbolism in flags around the 19th Century, likely repurposing the older custom of displaying separate maritime ensigns on civilian ships and warships. They made a new distinction between the original \"state flag,\" used by a government or sovereign and their military on land, and a new flag, usually a simplified variant called the \"civil flag,\" for patriotic use among the populace. The new custom developed well after the War for Independence, when Americans devised their own symbols, and before civic nationalism's concept of \"the nation of ideas\" (which would excuse using a single flag). Despite fantastical conspiracy theories, the United States has no civil flag, secret or otherwise. It doesn't even have a merchant ensign for civilian ships. The closest Americans discerningly use in place of a defined civic flag are colors from the War for Independence. However, such flags are mere historic vestiges. The country that produced them is so vastly different from today's as to have proudly displayed the anti-Catholic slogan, \"No Popery\" on the first of such banners. They weren't proper patriotic symbols. They were as decidedly partisan back then as they're perceived today.<br /><br />Where does that leave patriotic traditionalists today, who want to display affection for their people without rubber-stamping an Enlightenment liberal government, whose folly was built into false principles from the very beginning? It reminds us why Catholics were apolitical in the United States up until the Second Vatican Council. Catholic converts and their larger immigrant cohorts found no common ground in either side's political motives when together they comprised the most radical liberal state in the contemporary West. The Republic is inundated with Freemasonic influence to this day despite Catholicism's recent status as America's single largest Christian church. The fact the Magisterium condemned Freemasonry more than any other organization in history had no effect on the United State's near-religious veneration of its unnatural ideals.<br /><br />Since our minority Catholic forebears chose submission to the Republic's civic worship over forging a dissenting secular tradition, modern American Catholics have little precedent to inform them now that the true Church is prominent. The \"Spirit of Vatican II\" advocated stern suppression of integralism and paved the way for faithful to embrace the American civic worship as active participants, just as they became capable to fix government for the first time. The Conciliar Church championed liberalism's \"eternal Revolution\" as handily as its sworn enemies a century prior, and North America became an exemplar of supernatural suicide for the rest of Christendom to imitate. American Catholics blithely dropped any tradition outside the liturgy and walked like cultural orphans into Revolutionary politics. Their predecessors' apolitical roots and the irreconcilable evil hidden within US political custom were forgotten. Defending anti-Catholic heritage was suddenly as red-blooded American as apple pie.<br /><br />Today the United States government does more than betray religion. Its primary export to the world is perversion of the natural law itself. It's only logical this species of liberty would progress throughout all human life, untethering more intimate truths the longer it putrefied. Perhaps more scandalous than even the Revolution's fruit is some American traditionalists' belief that clutching to a previous version of liberalism somehow opposes the more advanced form we see today. Useful stooges confuse civil flags for emblems of state and hoist Old Glory, as if the Republic is an enemy of Pride Flags and not the guilty engineer. The Sons of Liberty and Antifa aren't separated by whether or not they're ideologues, but by a simple matter of time. And it's only a simple matter of time until the entire folly meets destruction. Agnostic Americans are consigned to death, and so is their Republic. We already see the symptoms. Why are traditionalists want to baptize and remake irrecoverable symbols of mammon at such a late hour? Young students even risk bodily harm from leftists to thwart their socialist mob from destroying icons of the hand that feeds them. The only loser here is you. Both prudence and principle point out a better way to do things. Let the snake eat its own tail. Conservatism is nothing more than Revolutionary rearguard action for Washington. Let it die the death it can't escape without you.",

"content": "The West is in a marked state of decline. Everyone seems to know it. Social and political commentators relish in exaggerating it for larger, more profitable viewership. Our civilization isn't growing, there's nothing made new, nor is it sustaining itself at replacement rate. Instead, it's aging out, and what's still left is being consolidated among fewer and fewer powerful actors.<br /><br />So where do traditionalists stand in this decline? What should we do as Catholics?<br /><br />We need to avoid the mistake of worshipping the past. Real-life LARPers and legitimists, exactly as Tolkien portended in his novel, care more about dead kings, obsolete dynasties, and regal titles long gone rather than new institutions, new crowns, new families which we need to survive. They care about inscriptions on decrepit graves more than creating a legacy in their own progeny. As the expression goes, \"Tradition is not the worshipping of ashes, but preservation of the flame.\" We are a living peoples. New experiences, changes, indeed a whole new age to come aren't only good, they're inevitable. By gluing themselves to the past, including all its negative aspects, LARPers and legitimists consign themselves to certain death.<br /><br />Instead, we need to heed what's happening in the world and move to act accordingly for our own preservation, remaining faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church and natural law. As EPTA's web site states, we think the solution is through \"a synthesis of convocation, consolidation, and creation.\" Convocation means that tradition needs to be brought together in a more concerted, centralized way than ever before. We need to start habitually thinking about the people who cling to the traditional sacraments as a singular culture, instead of mere acquaintances for individual parish communities. Normal Americans no longer have common interests at heart. Traditionalists alone are the parchment on which our future is written. Without convoking into a more serious whole, we won't be able to negotiate with other groups of organized factions as greater American culture continues to fall apart. Consolidation implies that we can't have multiple factions splitting our efforts within tradition. We're already a very small minority compared to the population. In an age when God creates few magnanimous souls to manage the depleting resources available to them, splitting up among quarreling sects or separate special interests will thwart all efforts to centralize traditionalists. Finally, we need to finish creating an American traditionalist identity from what we already have. The exact opposite of worshipping the past, we need the creativity, passion, and initiative of holy souls to help build our community in the emerging new age, becoming independent from the mainstream and securing the future for our children that we're responsible for providing. In all her long history, the Church has never been in this kind of situation yet. With perennial philosophy as our forge, the Church can enjoy an entirely new oasis in our care while America chooses infidelity. Creation is why EPTA calls for the \"establishment\" of traditionalism in America, not its rebuilding or defense. <br /><br />We're confident EPTA stands in the unique position to accomplish that which our very lives will soon come to depend upon. But we need your help. Would you consider volunteering, to express your creativity as God intended?",
