RT @nick_routledge: @alastairmci @paul_bamford35 @nicholadrummond There's no reasoning with the rank, pathological infantilism defining deranged, nationalist shitshows and the full-spectrum dominance their elites presume over the moral and ontological imagination at the planetary level. And they will have no intercessors from among their idols.

Copy of tweet here: 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. George Steiner diagnosed the contagion as, in essence, "the venom of modern history", a fleeting Balkanization of psycho-geography delineated by the basic delusion that reality and morality, interdependence and consequence, somehow disassociate at dividing lines drawn upon a map.
@UssamaMakdisi Our prophets universally depict this momentous revelation of the monstrous, wholesale moral destitution of our primary, international 'superpowers', as the rending of a well-wrought veil of deceit, a historical bifurcation point defining a providential, planetary dividing line.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: nick_routledge/status/1571282717450579968?s=20 Folks might also not be aware the Cycle of Unveiling or 'dawr al-kashf' of the Shi'ite Hidden Imam or 'qāʾim', correlates precisely with Judeo-Christian interpretation of the 'apocalypsis' or unveiling of 'the sunburst of the messianic'. And why ever would it not?
