Sometimes I think Hedges is a genius and sometimes I don’t agree with him, but I’m never not edified by his perspective. YouTube taking down his episodes are Big Brother at its worst.
This past weekend, journalist and author Chris Hedges woke up to find six years of episodes of his show On Contact removed from YouTube: taibbi.substack.com/p/meet-t…

If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside. Follow back my friend 🙏🙏

I think of u as more of a centrist, Marianne, while Chris can be more of a radical at times. I still find him to be highly insightful and his daring to say what many wouldn't is what makes me think of him as the genius u describe 😝

Reminder that in 1984 Big Brother is a global surveillance regime that tortures people with rats eating them.
You can be edified by a disagreement? No, being "edified" is when someone points out the errors of your belief structure and you start living in the truth. Hedges is streets ahead of you in his critique of power and imperialism.

Anyone who puts people, planet and peace before the profits of the billionaires, in particular the military industrial complex, would love Chris Hedges work.

Spare us your sanctimonious, feeble & performative words against censorship, Democrat…and go fundraise for your next run for president.

We reached the point where private corporations are in charge of freedom of speech, both major parties worked so hard for the corporation’s grip on society, I bet they’re proud of this, they got rich Clinton’s style and they say what policy is gonna be, that was the trade off.

Much of his outlook is ultimately that of a soulless scientific materialist
