@richvillodas A form of universalized, psychotic absolutism, isn't it? Girard, then: "Politics can no longer save us." Our recourse? Concrete reality as the covenantal realm redemptive time comes to ground. N. Brown: "The real fight is not the political fight, but to put an end to politics."

Copy of tweet here: The real fight isn't politics. Rather the imperative to eclipse a puerile Spectacle imagining itself as the highest ground of necessity, probity and significance. We rise not as a political category but as a moral fusion movement obviating a pissing match pointed at a mass grave. Copy of tweet: Perhaps the deeper political significance of what are, in essence, maniacal purity cults, is the co-dependent Spectacle of totalizing distraction and denial sustaining the whole shebang. To see is to see through the show. Blake: "it is Burnt up the Moment Men cease to behold it." David, hi. Surprised to stumble upon a fundamentally secular community of interest and vernacular addressing "the political and temporal dynamism of eschatology" as it relates to "the possibility of a messianic Politics to Come." Nils' "radical philosophical event" comes to mind.
@BrianZahnd end/ As WB repeatedly insists, the Message concerns the transformation of the Earth and not escape from it. Another way to frame the planetary prophetological imperative, then? Christ fulfilling in us doesn't potentize our political fight as much as put an end to politics itself.
