@CraigMokhiber Dust on the scales. As if the weaponized exceptionalism of elite, global structures of consciousness and power somehow guarantees its architects existential absolution from the planetary reality and consequence of "a vast and hideous occasion of sin." Yes, there's a Day to pay.

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.

Not so much specific religious or nationalist forms of such derangement as much as it is the consciousness of religious ethno-nationalism worldwide. The correlative? No nation or culture can or will save itself from a form of planetary psychosis, alone. t.co/Cd6N7KzmBg

Quote tweet: Ultimately, the catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation - the planetary-saving righteousness of an inclusive eschatology, revealed.
