RT @nick_routledge: @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.

Copy of tweet here: Agreed and, frankly, a worldwide contagion: Jihadists, Zionists, Hindutvavadis, 969ers, Crusaders, they're all at it. And whilst we're not the only only ones suffering from this plague, nor are we the only ones God welcomes. This, hardly news to planetary prophetology, of course. 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.
