You’re a rising star within the conservative movement. What forces in your life have influenced your conservative beliefs? What inspired you to voice your conservative viewpoints on social media?

So, I live in Los Angeles, where it’s very unpopular to be a “conserva-Trumper,” and I had not voiced my political opinions in years. I was in the process of transferring to UCLA and was beginning an acting career. Coronavirus hit at the worst possible timing for my career and scholastic endeavors. I was heartbroken, but it wasn’t too big of a deal, as many of my plans were simply being pushed back. That was until the Black Lives Matter riots started. In a matter of a week, the whole country was on fire. In Los Angeles, specifically, the riots started downtown but eventually came to West LA. I watched from my roof as eight helicopters flew around the city, cop cars were lit on fire, and rioters broke into my local bakery. It seriously seemed like a scene out of a movie.

As bad as all that was, it wasn’t what finally pushed me over the edge. It was the fact that as the country burned, as our police officers were attacked, as people were denouncing western civilization (the freest society in world history), people were saying nothing. If black squares were a word, that’s all anyone was saying! The insanity was too much to handle, and I knew people wanted to speak out but felt like they couldn’t. So, I started using my voice loudly. And, it seems to have attracted a lot of attention because of how frustrated people are with pop culture, and more specifically, how politics has infiltrated every part of our culture. The Left has now demonized people who don’t believe exactly what the “mainstream brainwashers” tell you to.

Anyhow, I’d say it’s a mix of my faith, research, and knowledge of history that’s culminated together and created my conservative values. At this point, conservatism simply means: “hi, I love my country and my freedom to say, do, and think what I want.” Saying you’re not conservative basically means: “I don’t really know the history of the world and how communism infiltrates political institutions, so I’ll just pretend transgender pronouns are more important than freedom.”

You’re a college student, yet you’ve already cultivated a widespread following on social media. What’s the best part of being a social media influencer? How do you handle the hate that comes along with being an outspoken conservative?

I love being a voice for people who genuinely feel like they’ve lost their voice. People feel as though they’ll lose their job or their livelihood simply for being open about their views. The Left claims that minorities (whether that be skin color, gender, or sexuality) are the “voiceless” right now, but that is absolutely not the truth. We’re yelled at all day by radical Leftists announcing their victimhood badge. The true “voiceless” in our society right now are conservatives.

Furthermore, we’ve reached the point where people are demonized if they don’t act like the Left expects them to. So, I like standing up to the bully Left. I like setting an example and showing people that there’s nothing wrong with having your own opinions and perspective. The love I receive outweighs the hate, but if I’m being called a “halloween-eyed horseface house slave” by a Leftist, then that means I must have an argument that they can’t disprove (which is always).

You frequently speak out against the progressive agenda that has infiltrated the American education system. Do you believe our education system has contributed to the rise of radicalism and anti-Americanism that has taken root in our generation?

Public schools and colleges have turned into Leftists indoctrination centers. There’s no “tolerance” for any perspective other than the one that the professor is pumping into you. I’m in a class right now on globalization, and the professor basically talks for 45-minutes about how much she hates Trump, then assigns us articles that are 3000% anti-Trump. We’re learning about “how great” neoliberal trade is, but the same policies that this woman is pushing are the same neoliberal policies that failed middle-America during Obama’s Presidency. Globalization, in the way it is being discussed in my class, specifically favored coastal elites and hurt average Americans. Yet, we’re not learning about any of the downsides.

This indoctrination is further seen in how colleges are coddling Marxist ideas and teaching students about “the upsides of communism.” Can we talk to the 100 million-plus people who died as a direct result communism, and then maybe circle back to the upsides? The Left infiltrated our school systems and our culture, and now children are put through these Leftist factories and come out as full-on America haters. They don’t know proper history, they don’t know how to make fact- based arguments, and they don’t know how to deal with people with different perspectives. It’s extremely dangerous, and the Left is wicked for doing it.

You are a vocal critic of the Black Lives Matter movement, labeling it as a “radical terrorist organization.” Most of your criticism lies in BLM’s political motivations, as you’ve called the movement “hypocritical,” “anti-American,” and “Marxist.” Why do you believe that BLM’s political aspirations are detrimental to American society, and the black community specifically?

I’d have to write a book about this to fully express my opinions. Between BLM’s hatred for the nuclear family (father absence is the number one issue affecting the black community), and hatred of anyone who thinks differently than them, we wouldn’t have enough time to go over everything. But, the best way I can sum it up is in two points: culture and western civilization.

We have certain ideals that we value in our country, the main one being freedom. BLM has said, themselves, that they hate western civilization. They hate our autonomy, they hate that we don’t judge based on identity, and they hate the idea of accountability. This leads me into culture. BLM has taken individual circumstances and labeled them as representative of the whole country, even though, when looked at statistically, it is far from true. Black America’s issue is culture. It is the degradation of women in rap songs. It is the promotion of disrespect. It is the lack of respect for people in careers that require an education. And it is the defense of criminals. Black America refuses to analyze this perspective and instead act as though the whole world is against them— BLM has capitalized off of that sense of victimhood. It’s dangerous to tell a portion of the population that they are victims, and then egg them on to act out violently. It is the same sort of coup d’etat behavior we saw in the Bolshevik Revolution.

“Identity politics” is at the forefront of American culture. What is your perspective regarding identity politics? Do you believe in the notion that emphasizing one’s “identity” rather than one’s “ideas” is dangerous?

Are five scoops of vanilla ice cream that’s five different colors diverse? Or are five scoops of white ice cream with five different flavors (coconut, pina colada, vanilla, birthday cake, and sugar cookie) more diverse? I’m going with the latter. The Left is saying, “Look at us, we have a transgender, a Latino immigrant who identifies as non-binary, and a black person. They all think exactly the same but screw you, we’re diverse!” That’s not diversity to me. Just like the vanilla ice cream that’s 5 different colors tastes the same.

Diversity, in my opinion, is diversity of thought. It is being able to think for yourself and come to your own conclusions. The Left likes to pretend we’re in the 1920s where people aren’t accepted for who they are, and it’s simply not the truth. They’ve used this to create fringe groups (silicon valley, lgbtq+, the black community, immigrants) in which you’re forced to all think the same and identify as liberal. People are scared to think outside of the cage the Left has locked them in to. This sort of thinking is dangerous for a country that is founded in thinking for yourself, and having the freedom to do so.

You break down many stereotypes. What do you think are the most prominent misconceptions liberals hold against conservatives?

Liberals have too many labels for conservatives to even count, and in my opinion, it’s because they know that we are all about thought-processes and not our identity. When you’re unwilling to think for yourself, it’s clearly easier to be accepted into a way of thinking that accepts you simply for your identification. It’s group-think, you don’t have to do a thing except be.

Conservatism requires one to leave their identifications at the front door, and bring their brain and logic into the room. Many times, “racist,” “misogynistic,” “homophobic,” “white supremacist,” “transphobic,” “Islamophobe,” and “anti-immigrant” are just terms to scare people from hearing logic based arguments that make sense.

It has become increasingly difficult for conservatives to voice their opinions. Many conservatives feel that they will lose friends, become unemployable, and get marked down in the classroom. What is your advice to young conservatives navigating these challenging times while trying to stay true to who they are?

I think you have to approach each situation very differently. For friends, cut the friendships off that can’t handle you having a different opinion. It sounds a bit harsh, especially if you have a close relationship, but you will find out sooner or later that they weren’t a true friend if they can’t handle disagreement. And, if the Communist Left ever takes over, they’ll turn you into the government anyways! A friend who requires 24/7 agreement is just a gossiper waiting to talk about you.

I’m lucky that I don’t have to worry about employment right now, so I would advise you to be wise but still exercise your First Amendment right. You must remember that we have our rights laid out in the Constitution— don’t let someone scare you out of your rights. The classroom can be a bit more difficult. I would encourage you to constantly challenge the professor in class but approach assignments from a non-biased perspective. Never bow to the mob!

You’re a fashionista. How would you describe your style, and who is your style icon?

I love “California grunge”— jeans and a designer shirt, “laid back,” sweatpants/baggy jeans and a crop top, and cool sneakers. If my style was a day, it would be “It’s 75 degrees and I’m going to grab an iced coffee, write my schedule for the next week, then take an insta pic at golden hour.” My style is extremely California-ish, and kind of always has been! Don’t necessarily have an icon. It’s been a journey of trial and error and seeing what looks best on my body.

What’s your dream job? Do you see yourself going into politics? What can we expect from Christian Walker in the future?

It’s changed so drastically in the last two months that it’s hard to say. But, I think at this point that without a doubt, it involves political commentary. I love it. I get to use my brain and unleash my personality. It’s the most fulfilling combination that I didn’t know existed for me and didn’t know I wanted. I don’t see myself running for any office because I’d rather yell about corrupt politicians and advise Americans on how not to let the Left turn us into a third world hell-hole! You can definitely expect to see me keep going, and going big at that.
