Disgruntled Leaf Network's video: The Sacrificial Crisis

"The sacrificial crisis must be defined as a crisis of difference; that is to say of the cultural order in its entirety." - René Girard (1923-2015) The dissolution of all imaginable differences – between pure and impure violence, normal and abnormal, man and woman, and indeed, God and Man – can be viewed as a sort of plague that can only exist in the spiritual vacuum created by the death, or obsolescence of the old institutions. Edited, written, and narrated by Disgruntled Leaf.
