ESSAY: Pete Hegseth's MAGA Theology Celebrates Violence

Pete Hegseth isn't just unqualified — he's a weak man in the most powerful military position in world history, and his theology is the reason why that's so dangerous. In this episode, I break down how Hegseth's Christian nationalist theology — rooted in Doug Wilson's framework of domination, power, and violence — has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus and everything to do with control. I examine the White House and Pentagon videos promoting the war in Iran as what they actually are: pornography of violence — content engineered to bypass rational thought, trigger a dopamine response, and manufacture consent for war among people who feel powerless.
