This talk by Chris Hedges is one of the most brilliant, comprehensive talks I have ever heard from him in only about 45 minutes. As a commentator on sociological, political, and historical scholar in our current times he has few if any equals. If we don’t listen to him then we do so at our own peril.
Thanks, Tom, glad you enjoyed it and yes, we must take action.

Nothing short of miraculous political oratory. Astonishing, rhetorically compelling, insightful, historically meticulous, memorable, forensic ~ Chris Hedges is a truly exemplary intellectual.
I’ve posted this as a teaching document on my academia.edu page.

Thanks, David. I found the link and added it to your comment, editing out the large quotes from the article.
Impeccable, superb Lo.
You are too kind, David. I’m just covering my you-know-what as far as copyright goes. But having the link is good for those who wish to read the entire piece.
