The victims know. The predators
know. And the eye in the sky sees all.
Ghislaine knows this very well. Those
videos are somewhere safe. Those
videos are keeping her alive. The
survivors press conference tomorrow
and the monsters reaction should be
interesting. What say you Donald?

Post-Secularity, at least according to Jürgen Habermas, is both the reality and the acceptance that despite secularization in the West, religion will continue on. The book stems from that premise.

It’s been awhile since I published this with Brill, but it remains relevant to the issues of Islam in the West. #philosophy #philsky #islam #religion #academia #criticaltheory #Europe #frankfurtschool #sociology #USA

This book has never been more relevant than it is right now, especially since people keep saying “they had no idea he would be this bad.” There is no bottom for a Dark Charismatic. #Trump #psychology #psychoanalysis #philosophy #authoritarianism #fascism #sociology #MAGA #USA www.ekpyrosispress.com
