@ThinkingFaith 'Never again!'? "Exhortation on its own is never enough, firstly, because it is always partial, reflecting the moral superiority of the powerful, and, more importantly, because it fails to take account of the possibility of moral collapse." Systemic Abrahamic collapse, in fact.

@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.

Copy of tweet here: Where India, or nice, White, Christian America for that matter, may yet make Gaza seem a teddy bear's picnic by comparison. 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?

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?
