@ShaneClaiborne Normalizing genocide, globally, is also what it is.

Copy of tweet here:

Where India, or nice, White, Christian America for that matter, may yet make Gaza seem a teddy bear's picnic by comparison. What then, when a global politico-media complex fuses across state borders to significantly "other" a culture or race? Where is the archetypal trend headed?

Image, reading:

Such platitudes, a psychotic derivative of nationalist exceptionalism, aren't they? A Balkanization of psychogeography, delineated by the basic delusion that morality and reality, interdependence and consequence, somehow disassociate at dividing lines drawn on a map of the world.

@pratinavanil @unherd Our challenge, universal. Not so much specific religious or nationalist forms of such derangement as much as it is the consciousness of religious ethno-nationalism worldwide. The correlative? No nation or culture can or will save itself from a form of planetary psychosis, alone.

Quoted by@DalrympleWill The contemporary Franciscan master @RichardRohrOFM: "Anything considered above criticism will soon become demonic." As though the existential absolution our elites believe they possess, will protect them and their world from cosmic come-uppance. There's a Reckoning Day to pay.Quoted by@SophiaCycles And, ultimately, as dominative, global structures of consciousness and power are claimed by such personalities, the diminution of world culture and society, too. Take Palestine, for example, as major state and media actors cave 'en masse' to a form of systemic moral destitution.Quoted by@BrianZahnd Not only Christian nationalism but, nowadays, the Western liberal establishment, too. Purity cults, alike, blinded by a monstrous, common, moral failure; as though the exceptionalism America thinks it has, will protect it from come-uppance. There will be hell, equally, to pay.Quoted by@UssamaMakdisi The trend, of concern. ?s=20
