“[S]cholars have taken the dynamite of the church, have wrapped it up in nice phraseology, placed it in an hermetic container and sat on the lid. It is about time to blow the lid off.” — Peter Maurin
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Instead, it will be analyzed, and sold back to the ones who start it. The rest of the world can watch it on their iPods.
A voice crying in the postmodern wilderness amidst the cacophony of bells, buzzers, whistles, flashing lights, flash videos, animated images, billboards, pop-up ads, talk shows, talking heads, (m/d-is)information vendors, in the midst of all the so-called diversity, corralled by the oneness of the global market;
whose sacred relics have been subordinated to our present-day capitalistic iconography;
whose hallowed symbols have been relegated to fascist propaganda;
in which the Imago Dei has been subjected to narcissistic iconoclasm:
Everything you know is wrong. Religion is not control. Art is not propaganda. A person is not a machine, nor a part of one. Consumption is not the Alpha and Omega of human existence.
Catch sight of the prophetic imagination. Vive la résistance!
