Interesting thoughts here on southern honor and how it contradicts aspects of Christianity.

Reading between the lines, Bob seems to be talking about Trump voters, and though he doesn't say that explicitly, that is one of my takes on his thread. https://twitter.com/southernphd/status/1351937108244656128
If I'm allowed to be a bit judgmental here, I don't like this system of honor. I find it antiquated and regressive.

What matters is appearances and validation, not truth?

Who cares (or should care?) about appearances?

I wonder then if we might say that honor...
is also in tension with Enlightenment rationality? Sure, there is no universal rationality on many questions outside of hard sciences, but the Enlightenment at its best calls for verifiable truth and evidence--and that seems to be the opposite of honor.
