RT @nick_routledge: @ShaneClaiborne The contemporary Franciscan master @RichardRohrOFM: "Anything considered above criticism will soon become demonic." As if some manner of absolution our elites believe they possess, will protect them and their world from due, cosmic come-uppance. There's a Reckoning Day to pay.

Copy of tweet and subtweet here: Exactly. The functional totalitarianism of an interlocking, global, techno-industrial control-complex serving the weaponized exceptionalism of elite structures of power profitably and militantly vested in a form of Final Solution to unmanageable social tensions and inequalities. 2/ It's now endemic, of course, the devastating obscenity of a global militarist-media complex wedded through pen and sword to a universalized form of psychotic exceptionalism and its diabolical consecration of a terror war endlessly targeting internal scapegoat and foreign foe.
@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.” - James Hillman
