I agree with so much of what you say. I disagree, however, that this movement isn’t totally obsessed with power-over structures.

I agree with so much of what you say. I disagree, however, that this movement isn’t totally obsessed with power-over structures. Their “de-centralizing” gobbledygook hides it, perhaps, but to me its pretty clear: the pendulum of power has swung in their favor and they know it and they love it. But it is good to understand that this pendulum is attached to a much larger system, and that the kind of power we’re used to seeing people fight over are merely scraps doled out by an upper echelon of elites who are happy to shift and support whoever has the momentum at their backs. It’s time to recognize the mechanism that supports all this futile swinging. Power-over structures are unnatural since they necessarily pit people against each other. We are one human race. No more division and further fragmentation. The woke mob has only perpetuated more of this ultimately weakening fragmentation. Their obsession with identity is bringing us to new levels of hubris. Nature is begging us to reject these old us vs them stories and get into alignment with a much more radical redemption story. I’m speaking, of course, today of all days, of the powerful redemption of the Cross.
