"The Keyboard Crusader: Kurgan’s Brave Battle... From Behind a Screen"

There’s a certain irony in watching The Kurgan—online warrior, self-styled Knight of Hypothetical Christendom—brandish his digital sword from behind the safety of a laptop. He often presents himself as a modern-day crusader, the last bastion of True Catholicism™, a fearless exposer of Freemasonic Satanist clergy. But let’s be honest: for all the puffed-up rhetoric, the only thing he’s ever slain is bandwidth.

Let’s examine the facts.

Kurgan lives in Italy, the country he repeatedly claims is “absolutely infested with Freemasonic clergy,” and a hotbed of “satanic pedophiles” posing as bishops and priests. In his own words:

“If you only knew how deeply evil the rot in Italy is… it’s beyond belief. Freemasons and satanists run the show.”
(Kurgan on Social Galactic, June 2023)

So, one might reasonably ask: What has he done about it?

Has he confronted even one bishop in person?
Reported one satanist priest to civil authorities?
Organized one protest, filed one report, gathered one shred of real-world documentation?

No. But he has written a blog post about how Catholics who attend Novus Ordo Masses are basically apostates. He has accused faithful clergy of being infiltrators without a shred of canonical or doctrinal proof. And he has called anyone who challenges his narrative “cowards,” “morons,” “liars,” or “useful idiots.”

He even claimed that “priests and bishops lost their jurisdiction and clerical state” when Vatican II happened, citing Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code—while conveniently ignoring Canon 2227, which explicitly exempts bishops from such automatic penalties unless specifically mentioned (spoiler: they aren’t). When confronted with this, he dodged and ranted rather than respond with theology or canon law.

In short: he knows where the "rot" is, claims to be surrounded by enemies of the Church, and does absolutely nothing about it except insult Catholics online.

He styles himself a defender of Christendom, yet when the supposed evil empire is a train ride away, Kurgan the Brave remains behind his microphone. Not even so much as a leaflet handed out at a church. Not one word of warning to his local parishioners. Not one bit of real-world engagement.

Just this classic Kurgan line from Reclaiming the Catholic Church:

“There is no Pope, and most of the clergy are apostates. The sacraments are invalid in 99% of cases.”
(Kurgan, RTC, 2020)

And yet… he hasn't confronted a single apostate in person.
Not one invalid sacrament challenged face to face.
Not even a symbolic stand at the doors of St. Peter’s.

Instead, his enemies are always online. How convenient.

This is not a Knight of Christ. This is a keyboard crusader, a digital Don Quixote tilting at WordPress windmills. His battlefield is a blog. His sword is a livestream. His armor is the safety of distance and the echo chamber of followers who never ask why the “bravest Catholic in Italy” has never once stepped outside his digital fortress to confront the evil he so vividly describes.

When Our Lord saw corruption in the Temple, He didn’t tweet about it.
He didn’t podcast a rage-fueled monologue.
He made a whip.

Meanwhile, The Kurgan makes memes.

He calls others cowards for attending Mass with their families, while he’s surrounded by the very corruption he denounces and does… nothing. No confrontation. No protest. No civil complaint. Not even a documented letter to the bishop.

Real warriors act.
False prophets shout.

So let’s call it what it is: Kurgan isn’t a warrior. He’s a weekend LARPer in full digital cosplay—throwing rhetorical grenades from the safety of a laptop while doing absolutely nothing to battle the so-called evils he claims are on his doorstep.

If the Faith is under siege and he's surrounded by infiltrators, and yet the only enemies he ever battles are strangers online… what exactly is he defending?

Real courage doesn’t hide behind a livestream.
Real saints take action.
And real Catholics know the difference between a knight… and a narcissist.
