RT @nick_routledge: @nils_gilman @bratton 1/ The stark truth is that on the one hand a form of interlocking, totalized, psychotic universalism, with no interest in its abolition, ultimately requires the unifying articulation of conclusive planetary intervention at the nation state level. This, hardly an original insight.

@omarsuleiman504 @washingtonpost end/ Impartiality is a pretense: where global media ecology goes, so goes our single garment of destiny. What, then, is to be done about child-killing now staking its genocidal claim on consensual reality at the level of total, planetary consciousness? Which way is it to be?
