@MassimoFaggioli Barth, Illich, Moltmann, Girard, Ellul, Jung and Hillman among others, are clear: diagnosis requires naming—"the first act of exorcism" (Wink). In the metaphysics of exposure, unveiling and judgment arrive together. The Event unveils both the flood and our position in its path.

As if some manner of absolution our elites believe they possess, will protect them and their world from due, cosmic come-uppance. There's a Reckoning Day to pay. t.co/Z6ncs34jul

The functional totalitarianism of an interlocking, global, techno-industrial control-complex serving the weaponized exceptionalism of elite structures of power profitably and militantly vested in a form of Final Solution to unmanageable social tensions and inequalities.

Take Palestine, for example, as major state and media actors cave 'en masse' to a form of systemic moral destitution. t.co/6dJ6cZsSpH

Passage boundary: whole purple quote card Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. "Anyone who rises in a world that worships success should be suspect, for this is an age of psychopathy. The psychopath of today no longer slinks like a dirty rat through the dark alleys of black-and-white 1930s crime films, but parades through the boulevards in a bullet-proof limo on state visits, runs entire nations, and sends delegates to the UN. Hitler is therefore old-style and can divert us from seeing through the mask worn by the demonic today, and tomorrow. The demonic that is timeless nonetheless enters the world disguised in contemporary fashion, dressed to kill.” - James Hillman
Open original document9/ Yet incarnation also exposes its counterfeits. It is always double-edged: healer and judge, mercy and verdict. The anti-Christ is not mythology but the System itself—a total machine of illusion, sacrifice and ruin, enthroned as progress, crowning itself destiny.

So what, if our everyday allegiance forsakes the costly obedience of messianic identity for the very powers and principalities Jesus came to exorcise. Loisy saw the counterfeit: “Jesus announced the Kingdom, but it was the Church that arrived.” Come out of her. t.co/x6KVR4bfqb

Pictured speaker / quoted attribution: Nick quoting Walter Wink; Nick on Ivan Illich Saved source record associated with pictured writing; full saved record, not an exact pictured excerpt. Passage boundary: Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Illich reliable, here. With the Constantinian concession, we could be authentically 'born again' _and_ be possessed by exactly what Jesus came to end - the "idolatrous spells cast over people" (Wink) by the vast array of institutions and epistemologies they epistemically secure. There is a joke in which Satan is talking with one of his fallen angels while looking at the foibles of humans on the earth. “What should we do?” implores the helper. “See there, a human has gotten hold of a piece of truth!” Unperturbed, the Prince of Darkness replies, “Don’t worry, these humans will try to institutionalize it, and then it will belong to us again.” Echoes likewise in Illich, whose leading thesis is that Western modernity represents a perverted attempt to encode and institutionalize the NT's principles as rules of behavior, duty, and laws in a corrupting structural deception so pervasive that we no longer realize it’s there.
