@EElmskid @iyad_elbaghdadi Well said. Colonialism becomes neo-liberalism; slavery becomes gulag culture; and so forth. Meanwhile, entire cultures assume ‘blinkers of decorum.’ Such hidden violence (‘the mystery of evil’) finally revealed, describes the function of ‘apocalypsis’, or ‘unveiling’.

@shorewalker1 @nils_gilman History tends to the fuller and fuller revelation of the mystery of evil. History, therefore, follows an apocalyptic logic. Not apocalyptic in the sense in which the word is used colloquially to refer to catastrophes but in the word’s original sense of revelation or unveiling.
