A thread on #Moltmann and @SpaceForceDoD: In 1989, Jürgen Moltmann prophetically announced that the advent of the nuclear age heralded the impending end of humanity and all life on earth. (The Way of Jesus Christ)
At that time Moltmann lamented that "It has been calculated that more than 50% of scientific intelligence and technical resources is at the disposal of the military and industrial complexes of the highly industrialized countries of the First World, for 'security' purposes."
A nationalist race for global domination has begun through the stockpiling of nuclear weapons that allowed nations to deter all other nations.
"With the atomic bomb, the final struggle for universal world hegemony has begun." Moltmann
"That nation will win universal domination which can threaten all the other nations with nuclear annihilation, but which has made its own people invulnerable through a defence system in space (SDI)." Moltmann, WJC p. 66
As this race has continued, Moltmann was right and predicted the advent of @SpaceForceDoD and other rival militarized spaced programs, that are racing towards the end time of all human life so long as this race continues.
"For the first time, a common world history is coming into being, even if only in a negative sense: the whole of humanity is in the same danger of nuclear extinction." Moltmann
This race for nationalist overrule that Moltmann predicted not only resulted in first world exceptionalism through the unchecked violence against all other nations.
Although science is seen as bettering the world, Moltmann right noticed it has truly resulted in humanity arming itself against itself. Not only do nations use science to secure itself through oppression of other nations. it has also caused nations to secure itself against itself
This is visible in the military grade weapons police forces have used against citizens under the slogan #LawAndOrder
