Extended description

I’d say a compounding problem is our techno-nationalist significance-allocation regime: not just geopolitical hubris, but an epistemic substrate of religious and political exceptionalism insulated from planetary moral and ontic valence, amplified by evolving media-ecology trends. Jung, Arendt, Ellul, Girard, Voegelin et al identify the nation-state as the supreme technology for encoding psychological disorder at scale. We're now seeing that madness becoming infrastructural in media systems, destroying the capacity for moral address to cross enemy lines. 2/ Media for McLuhan are not channels carrying “content”; they’re world-forming structures. The demonic complex doesn’t merely exploit reality; it configures what counts as reality—'the way things are'— by recalibrating our senses, habits, and technical conditions of perception. 3/ He recognized that environments are subliminal because they saturate. The demonic complex is just such an environment _weaponized_: a total media-sacramental order securing a mimetic, imaginative vice keeping us from seeing any politic other than one undergirded by violence.
