@johnrobb end/ What if a War characterized by a worldwide explosion in algorithmically-supercharged repression, is ultimately checked only in recognizing its larger evolutionary role delivering us to a sunburst of revelation overturning the tables of history itself? A phase shift, then.

Copy of thread here: 1/4 A global take. Suddenly, massively augmented technologies of surveillance and oppression are everywhere, fueling unprecedented powers of 'population management', rendering opposition to such hegemony functionally nonviable. Thence to Cloud-driven extermination? Already here. 2/ Concomitantly, this vastly-enhanced, explosive, authoritarian surge correlates with complementary mimetic trends subverting the geopolitical psycho-dynamics historically putting a brake on Armageddon. We desperately need an immediate, radical revisioning of the problem of war. 3/ A primary peacemaking challenge, of course? Dominative global structures of consciousness and power militantly vested in a symbiotic, aggregate, existential imperative to eclipse the Messianic. No matter. The epistemic truth of Reality will not be denied nor its Time deferred.
@Plough end/ What of Putin and Netanyahu and their ilk? What of the entirety of life on earth, you mean. To paraphrase Heschel, “We cannot deal with war unless we deal with all of man, the nature of existence, of doing, and meaning." Simply stated, we're calling it a Day @UniteThePoor

Copy of tweet here: “There was once a much more open debate about the risks of humanizing warfare,” @samuelmoyn writes in @DAWN_Journal, as part of a new series, “Human Rights Go to War,” on international humanitarian law and armed conflict. On the nose, the term "legitimation for political evil" to describe the MO of a toxic epistemology fixed into furrows of death. What's asked for? A Great Reset. A planetary circuit-breaker for a chronically malignant interpretation of existence, morality, significance and sanity. Until? So, how's it going? An answer, that is, to the pathological infantilism defining deranged, nationalist shitshows, their full-spectrum, planetary dominance over the moral and ontological imagination, and the immediate threat they represent to the entirety of life on Earth?
