@RDGStout “The capacity to deny,” in the words of James Hillman, “to remain innocent, to use belief as a protection against sophistication of every sort – intellectual, aesthetic, moral, psychological – keeps the American character from Awakening.” Apocalypsis strips away the false front.
@CTmagazine @jeff_bilbro 1/4 Klavan seems media illiterate. First, crucially, Illich: "The ability to disguise sin defines anti-Christ." And, Nietzsche's warning against fixating on what one opposes: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster." Bad faith actors live it.

Clearly, the supercharged universality of this phenomenon - pat, predictable, cookie-cutter dialectics of ethnonationalism, purity and exclusion, span a dizzying array of languages, cultures and borders, just now - powerfully affirms its common, transcultural, archetypal origins.
