Man of integrity.

How inspirational can a man possibly be??!! Although not a religious person I have for him the utmost respect in just so many ways. Chris Hedges is one who honours and even more, practices his values which who of any inner substance can possibly deny. To be honest, I am in awe of this man in terms of his intellect, his understanding of history, his determination and strength to stand up for what is right, but beyond everything else, his courage against all odds is profound. And yet, even though there are in excess of 248,000,000 adults in the U.S. this video has in two some odd years garnered only 18,000 viewers of whom only 48 have even bothered to comment.

@@jollyrogercrest663 - Well, we certainly are in the same camp vis-a-vis religiosity which is rife with right wing rhetoric and hate. You nailed that one, too. Why they don't recognize their own hypocrisy is waaaay beyond my understanding. We here in Canada mostly fear the election results if the Democrats are unable to get the poll numbers up into the stratosphere to decimate this current administration no matter what tricks they pull to skew the vote. Mind you, the Democrats including Biden, Pelosi and others are no street angels. Still, I was saddened to learn that Mr. Hedges plans on voting Green Party. IMESHO, splitting the liberal minded vote at this point is a self-defeating strategy. But then, Mr. Hedges is nothing but consistent in his values Moreover, I'd be a fool not to know that he's much more astute, learned, and experienced than I could ever be, so somewhat reluctantly, I must give a pass to this beautiful human being, not so secretly hoping that few others follow suit. There! A fine example of talking out both sides of one's mouth. The other thing I don't understand is that there are, in fact, a bountiful number of Americans who are socially liberal minded and have among their number people who have the brain power, the skill, and the ethics to get the U.S. out of its present quagmire. And yet Trump ends up as President. There truly is something putrid going on behind closed doors which we plebes are most decidedly not privy to. But, don't get me wrong, we've made some disastrous moves when "we" voted in Mulroney and Harper--both caused immeasurable harm to our social safety system during their terms of office. Obviously, we have our fair share of arm-dragging, non-discerning, non-thinking Neanderthals in our own camp. Bosh on the lot of them whichever side of the border they hail from. I read somewhere (source not remembered) that socially liberal voters far outnumber the Neanderthals but for any number of reasons don't bother to vote. If that trend continues into this upcoming election, we in the West are goners!!! I apologize for going on at such length, saying probably nothing you and other like-minded individuals don't already know. How I do get exercised over this issue I certainly hope the American people at large take this upcoming election seriously. Ultimately, so many lives are at stake, so I'm hoping that "our" side turns out in droves. Thanks so much for commenting and for "finding" Chris Hedges, truly a man of great integrity and wisdom.

@@Scathingly fabulous comment and really thought provoking, even if I knew alot of it prior it's good for reinforcement for matters as complicated as these. Chris has in a way convinced me to, maybe, persue to be an activist campaigner. But with so many causes including but not limiting to climate change, where I would rather called it a climate catastrophe, anti corporate, equality there are so many to choose. As I think about it more. I feel the choice I think matters the most is campaigning against misinformation and soft language on matters that are critical to survival I never heard of Chris till last week, but I knew Chomsky, Malcolm x and King. Which really makes me wonder....why, im 30 and moving back to Ireland this week due to the rise of right wing facism in the UK which is scaring my family. a few months ago It came to my knowledge that a person whom I went to school with in Ireland is currently the leader of an independent alt far right religious nationalist, which absolutely left me agasped. My home in Ireland is about as remote as you could imagine, this shocked me. How did this happen? Facism is not being spread by pamphlets like communism did with the labor movements in Liverpool and Birmingham and the northern towns of the UK after the first world war, it is in KZread comments like this and closed Facebook groups. I have watched some of the videos live streams and the straw man arguments and language used is inciteful. Dog whistling all the way through. How do we solve this? People living in their ponds absorbing any truth that's fed to them. Different cardinal truthes neither clashing nor meshing, nobody is invalidated but nobody is right. A world being engulfed with truth. I think this will be the killing stroke. I always knew it, but I feel Chris confirmed it. I hope some people can stop this. His idea of the daughters of hope are courage and anger (paraphrasing) but I think that is really reassuring and for that I'll always be thankful. I can breathe now, even if it's just a little

You are doing your homework which unfortunately, so many aren't. More to the point, you're using your brain to sift through so much of the misinformation that too many take for the truth at face value. But, it is hard, arduous and a no way easy endeavour. There simply is too much group think; independent thinking and astute observation are becoming lost arts. All one need do is check out the curriculum of our schools and how subjects are taught to realize that learning how to think is not even in the mix. Most of history taught in schools is a crock and it is rarely if ever critiqued in any kind of meaningful way--if at all. History of other countries is not considered important never mind its accuracy. Geography? Whatever is that? But consumerism? Now, that we have mastered and we've become hamstrung by it. You're right, there are so many CRITICAL issues that must be addressed and carefully assessed. Wherever to begin. As yours spins at the daunting task ahead, mind does too.

They are said to be mercenaries in the pay of the pipeline corporations in those protests. They showed up at Occupy Wall$treet as well, obviously in the pay of Wall$treet. Here, the only question is who is signing the checks, and the obvious answer is AgolfTwitler. How the money is being routed to give him and everyone else who needs it plausible deniability is just a detail. I've been researching all this for a while and the likeliest source of mercenaries willing to shoot at American civilians is Erik Prince (brother to Education Sec, who knows nothing whatsoever about education and was handed her Cabinet position for donations and other favors from her family) secret army that hires itself out for pay, and has no ideology beyond money. They acquire their personnel from soldiers as they are deploying home from the middle east, especially if they have especially useful skills, like sniping, explosives, special operations, you get the drift. Only then they get to use their skills for really attractive pay and benefits packages. Can you imagine some poor f*cker who has just been told that after he was promised a green card and a path toward citizenship for standing up as cannon fodder that the government is now going back on its word, his family has already been deported to some country they've never lived in, and instead of going home and reuniting with them, he is being sent to an altogether different country that he's never lived in and maybe doesn't even know the language? Think that makes him "love" America? And someone comes along, offers him a job using the skillset the USArmy taught him, maybe even against that Army itself, or civilians from the country that f*cked him over? For ten times what the Army was paying him? They can give him a place to live in any European or Commonwealth nation, bring his family back from wherever they've been disappeared to, and he just has to perform missions now and then. How much do you think he cares about what the president or the head of the CIA or the head of joint chiefs have to say about anything? The one thing that the orange moron has been incredibly good at is picking which propaganda messages to point at which audience. We are standing on a precipice of ice, and it is cracking and breaking underneath us. The rest of the world wants nothing at all to do with us and except for Putin and his henchmen, we have no allies at all, since we've shut down every trade agreement, violated every treaty, disrespected every nation that was on our list of friends. Having a professional victim as a prez doesn't really work very well at all when he wants to translate his schoolyard coward-bully tantrums to every one of our allies. He thinks they are "taking advantage of us"--the same thing he used to complain about when he was a slumlord in NYC, eh? "They're picking on me!" "Germany and England aren't paying their fair share of NATO costs?" Have you ever heard of negotiating changes, Mr. Let's-Make-A-Deal? No, your first go-to is whining like a little baby and your second is pointing nukes at our allies. Can any on you imagine that would have happened if this fuckwad had been behind the wheel during the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Gates: "Population must get to near zero." Think they can bomb and shoot populations down to that without a civil war, which there will be one shortly or commit the world genocide by way of vaccine and 5G? I would bet on the latter.

Too much hate. People like this Chris Hedges show up every 70 years.

He is a realist and sadly that includes all the ills of mankind. Man is inherently self-centered which results in every manner of abuse (self and each other.)

In the wake of the George Floyd protests and the increasingly brutal police response Hedges words seem all the more prophetic.

Christopher Hedges is inspiring and his clarity and prescience are proven since he predicted Trump( a demagogue) would rise if we continued on the the path of destroying ourselves by continued regards me change wars and CORPORATE OLIGARCHY.

I don't know whether to be hopeful or to be scared but this lecture is useful information to see what's happening behind the scenes. It betrays itself that somehow mankind has goodness in them as we know evil is abound. The only way to live is to know that we live in a universe that God created and he is coming back to collect his own. Real good comes from believing him. This world will end and life starts again but in a different kingdom.

Truth is difficult to hear....”things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;...innocence is drowned; the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity....and what rough beast , it’s hour come around at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?” Yeats

That quote has been used a lot in the very recent past. I'm putting together a list of books that must be read to understand the apocalypse. I hadn't thought of Yates, but he should be on there as well...

From the comments I have seen, there is no hope for your country. People need basic literacy and education.

Such wisdom brings tears to my eyes. Life is not a battle of good vs. evil, it is great evil smothering a smal act of human kindness. And the thologian Paul Tillich saying even the church has a demonic side- brutal honesty.

Host is very excited

It seems the party is going to go out with a bang.

The Giant has awakened due in part by the truth being spoken ACROSS the country and like a Flood there is no Levy strong enough to hold it back. Too many years of abuse of being held down has Awakened The Sleeping Giant.

The ease by which Christianity can morph into polar opposites should be enough for anyone who is sensible to seriously question the religion's fundamentals. Thankfully people such as Robert Price and Richard Carrier exist to explain the con of Christianity. I can also personally recommend Lena Einhorn's 'A Shift in Time: How Historical Documents Reveal the Surprising Truth about Jesus.'

Here Chris is a virtuoso! he has reached / become a virtuoso in what he is or dose . Maestro,Adept ,Doyen,Veteran,the Muse,he's at that place of doing /and practicing a long time (25 years or more to achieve) where every note,move,sculpt ,seasoning is apart and top class. I'm saying we are seeing " one and apart" ! He stands alone in what he's doing . Like the only Stradivarius. I think he's where -THE AUDIENCE IS ON THE STAGE AND HE"S THE ONLY ONE ON THE QUESTION LINE AND MIC. IN HIS TALKS (or most ) HE MUST ASK THE AUDIENCE THE QUESTIONS ! THE AGE RANGE OF PEOPLE GOING TO SEE HIM GO RIGHT OUT AND IMBIBE IN THE VERY THING HE SO MASTERFULLY IS EXPRESSING AND SHOWING ! "THEY GO TO WORSHIP AND WHEN DONE GO OUT AND DO THE OPPOSITE , THEIR OPPOSITIONISTS ALL RIGHT ! THEY DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY JUST LEARNED ! THEIR HOOKED ON PLASTIC < CHEMICALS

I remember reading Nickel and Dime as a kid. Truly as eye opening book.

Yes, how does he survive?

It will be interesting to see what the wealthiest Americans do once we reach the end-stages of our "democracy", and our country is no longer capable of meeting its own needs. P.S. -- I realize that, technically, we're already there...but I'm referring to the level of decay that even the most right-wing people can no longer deny.
