@jbralston @uoedivinity @CMSN_Edi 2/ His invocation, democratic. Moltmann avers: "Theology is the business of all God’s people." Moses went further, of course: "Would to God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets." The hermaneutic of @unitethepoor, then? Inclusive, universal, planetary, prophetic, interruptive.
![2/ The gig, no mistake. I'm a theologian of the poor who's spent decades exploring functional alternatives to the interlocking totalitarianism of the world's largest carcereal complex and global structures of power effectively transforming the planet into a universal prison camp.

5/ A global, militarist matrix with no interest in its abolition. Criminalizing the poor, at home and abroad, through a transnational, totalizing, techno-industrial complex of social control. Functional totalitarianism. Global elites making Gazans of the rest of us.
end/ The blunt truth? Ultimately, nothing will free the captives of the world from the hegemony of the modern control complex, short of transcendent intervention at the planetary level. Universal abolition, the embodiment of God's justice: the Messianic Promise, its advent. [Image]

@alastairmci @SCM_Press Thank you. If 'liberation theology is theology that liberates theology to liberate', then the interruptive ontology of an 'irruption of the poor' frees us from the containment of base, integral religious and political hegemony in a Day of universal, unifying liberation.

Copy of Tweet: Nick_routledge Nick_routledge and end/ So, how is transcendent intervention at the planetary level revealed? Through the usual channels? Don't be silly. Here, in the radical upheaval of concrete political reality, presenting as a global movement to end poverty, injustice and ecocide, led by the poor. Including image of tweet: Nick_routledge The judgment of the world is now. The ruler of this world will be cast out now.

More than likely, yes. What form a planetary circuit breaker, then? World liberation, as disruption and migration of planetary attention span? This time, a renewing network swarm.
