RT @nick_routledge: @AimeTim That's it. The Death Cult Singularity of a thanatomania defining peak modernism's majoritarian structures of consciousness and power including the absolute evils of biocide and geocide. A planetary-saving advent, then? Heschel: "Man-made history is not history’s only dimension."

Excerpt from tweet thread here: Well, to paraphrase Heschel, one factor ultimately determines the shape of history - the transcendent response to the nationalist shitshow threatening the entirety of life on Earth. As such, our salvation is necessarily universalist and planetary. As for back yard bombshells...
@SherPoint 1/2 In contemporary vernacular then, the Eschatological Event or 'Day' or 'Hour' represents a form of 'therapeutic intervention' at the planetary level, arresting the existential apostasy of a form of psychotic universalism and the extinction tyranny it functionally entails.

Copy of tweet here: 1/ 'Wetiko' (Algonquian) is how our First Nations Peoples identify the toxic, all-encompassing enormity of this ancient enslavement and the dollarzombiehood, weaponized, of its commoditized mechanics of persuasion, guilt and punishment. A fix? Planetary prophetology names it. Echoes likewise in Illich, whose leading thesis is that Western modernity represents a perverted attempt to encode and institutionalize the NT's principles as rules of behavior, duty, and laws in a corrupting structural deception so pervasive that we no longer realize it’s there.
