@MazMHussain So, the 'elite' of the world's 5th most populous nation, signing on to the cursed exceptionalism of the Country Club gang? A transnational cabal of political and religious powers, devising the world as a form of Final Solution to unmanageable social tensions and inequalities.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: 3/ So, what have we finally come to? The diabolical concrescence of a unified, transcultural, transnational, religio-political complex of authoritarian state control. 'You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.' Country Club morality for fascist universalism. Quote tweet "Ultimately there is only one factor upon which the shape of history depends: the moral conduct of the nations." - Abraham Joshua Heschel. What now distinguishes the Crusader from Jihadist or Zionist in this regard? twitter.com/nick_routledge… Image of Jamal Khashoggi, smiling, facing the camera.
@ValerieEguavoen @theology_policy @YaleDivSchool The stark truth is that the exceptionalism we face at home is ultimately planetary, interdependent and totalizing - a form of universalized, psychotic absolutism. The poor are suffering everywhere and the solution, as cause, is necessarily global, too.

The Alston report is the most serious challenge yet to poverty triumphalism, to the political apologias that it has supported, and to the fiction that economies of massive inequality are destroying poverty rather than destroying the poor. @unitetheooor Quote Tweet The World Bank claims that just 10% of people worldwide live in poverty. In reality, the number is likely more than 50%. @TomFStevenson considers the faulty methodologies that led economists to declare global destitution a thing of the past. · Global destitution is immense and real, as is the fiction that economies of massive inequality are destroying poverty rather than destroying the poor. Yesterday’s economic report clarifies the obscenity of accelerating planetary inequity. #unitingtheglobalpoor Quote Tweet Global inequality ‘as marked as it was at peak of western imperialism’ theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/07/global-inequality-western-imperialism-super-rich
