@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.

"Anyone who rises in a world that worships success should be suspect, for this is an age of psychopathy. The psychopath of today no longer slinks like a dirty rat through the dark alleys of black-and-white 1930s crime films, but parades through the boulevards in a bullet-proof limo on state visits, runs entire nations, and sends delegates to the UN. Hitler is therefore old-style and can divert us from seeing through the mask worn by the demonic today, and tomorrow. The demonic that is timeless nonetheless enters the world disguised in contemporary fashion, dressed to kill.”

@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.
