Two of the values Sovereignists hold most dear are authentic authority and authentic diversity.
What we call authentic authority (or honest authority) is authority without pretensions. For example, a mother doesn’t need to invoke God, natural rights, or other faith-based excuses in order to exercise authority over her child, whether in or out of her womb. Her authority is a practical matter. “My child” is simply honest – this is a development of her body, a fruit of her womb. Honest authority doesn’t need to be propped up by appeals to theology or philosophical castles in the air.
Authentic diversity isn’t the so-called “diversity” enforced by the State through political correctness, sensitivity training, hate speech codes or hate crimes legislation. It’s not being made to order from a prepared menu of sanitized Establishment-approved “orientations” or “lifestyles.” It’s not a false “tolerance” enforced by agents of the State. It’s the real appreciation of diversity with substance to the point of opposing any attempts by the State to stifle it. That means, for example, a mother being free to raise her daughter in the tradition of the church, mosque, synagogue, watchtower or padoga, or equally in the tradition of the brothel, sex club, or home porn studio. Much as “freedom of speech” rings rather hollow when it includes only speech censors agree with, “diversity” rings hollow when coerced to conform to the social engineering schemes of do-gooder bureaucrats, be they on the “left” or the “right” (labels which conveniently represent another example of hollow “diversity”).
