The Egyptian revolution turned me into a consumer of history. In its two folds, as immediate in-the-making, which manifested itself in the analysis of the power situation on the ground by clever Egyptian analysts on Facebook. The second is history as theology - history as an accumulation - history as inevitably metaphysical despite Marx best intentions. I actually didn't plan to write this post to talk about this, I wanted to write about how the complex situation of Egyptian politics has triggered such unbelievable split in opinions, there are people I saw eye to eye with all our lives and we are now in opposing positions. Not sure what is the relationship between this and history as theology, maybe this is the point, that history as theology is just our inability to fathom totality.
