RT @nick_routledge: @johnmilbank3 The syndrome, global and deepening. As, a fix. A revolutionary renewal in the ontological status of humanity and our world arises not as a domestic political or religious category, but as a planetary movement transcending nationalist cultural and religious imaginaries and limits.

Copy of tweet and reply: Nils Gilman “The history of ideas is facing a challenge similar to that confronted by social anthropology a quarter of a century ago: It needs to reject the constrictions of ‘cultural boundaries’ and demonstrate ‘a commitment to a global comparative perspective.’” Nick Routledge Likewise, the goal and prize of global prophetology is a spirituality transcending personal enlightenment or national transformation. The true measure of spiritual status is its universality. bit.ly/38lmSlM 12:22 PM · Dec 10, 2019
@RNS @omarsuleiman504 Here we are, then, upon the threshold of a transcultural, transnational, religio-political complex of fascist universalism and its demonic perversion of an authentic, planetary yearning offering us the only way out of our 'war of all against all', rightly called salvation.

Copy of quote tweet: Agreed and, frankly, a worldwide contagion: Jihadists, Zionists, Hindutvavadis, 969ers, Crusaders, they're all at it. And whilst we're not the only only ones suffering from this plague, nor are we the only ones God welcomes. This, hardly news to planetary prophetology, of course. Quote Tweet Clearly, the supercharged universality of this phenomenon - pat, predictable, cookie-cutter dialectics of ethnonationalism, purity and exclusion, span a dizzying array of languages, cultures and borders, just now - powerfully affirms its common, transcultural, archetypal origins.

Copy of quote tweet: 1/ Hence the fundamental nature, role and promise of the political liberator, savior or Great Emancipator, here to revision the bodies, minds and souls of men in a bastardized, religio-nationalist image of the messianic hopes of our times. The transcendent function, perverted. Quote Tweet In other words, the bastard appeal of such ethno-nationalist analogs is universally paradigmatic. How then, to effectively address the immense planetary forces encouraging the emergence and powerful enchantment of such personalities and their platforms? facebook.com/100002219988748/posts/1230589060358415/
