i heard hedges say he rejects marxism because it’s not compatible with human nature, which is why he thinks the only path to positive change is to appeal to morality

he's a religious doomer

I sometimes turn down sex and blowjobs from my girlfriend because I'm too busy posting in D&D. PS: She used my credit card to pay for this.
the religious stuff sometimes gets weird but the whole call to service thing is a big part of who he is and why he does what he does / has done what he's done and then that snowballs into some other stuff

he got done dirty over iraq, and he's legitimately insightful if often depressing. I feel like he colors in the doom nicely even if he may not have fixes for it.

but, most importantly my grampa liked his work a lot

Chris Hedges is not as bad as the other libs but still needs to do a nickle of reeducation and rehabilitation through labor. After that I'd be fine with his political rehabilitation.

Yeah. His writing style is cool too, it's easy to share his work with people if they're on the edge, so to speak, of being interested in this kind of analysis

ya. the way i see hedges is he's not for you, hes for your liberal acquaintances who still believe in the right-functioning of "liberal democracy" as a paramount pinnacle of freedom and prosperity, but aren't ready to ready lenin/marx yet

ppl should read the jakarta method instead tho

this is one of the best talks he's ever given imo. nowadays i don't think his work on the carceral-industrial complex gets covered the way his anti-war work does, but everything about this is sobering and heartbreaking

Hey quick question. What was up with this?

quote:

I just saw this and I responded to the report so I'll explain my reasoning for the twelver. First, I don't consider this doxxing, which involves digging up personal information like home addresses, employers, and basically outing somebody who doesn't want to be outed. Posting a link to someone's public-facing Twitter presence and YouTube profile doesn't cut it (and the YouTube link had already been deleted before I saw the report). Secondly, I make a distinction for political actors who are attempting to use their public presence to influence and move the world in a particular direction -- and there are also legal distinctions here as well compared to, say, someone who just collects plastic anime figurines or whatever. That said, the public actor here is still a kid and the whole thing needed to stop because it's weird and sad, so I probed the goon as a warning. If they continue their behavior then they're risking a ban, but I think they got the message. If they don't get the message and I miss it, then report it please.

I've modded for about two weeks, and my basic philosophy is that unless it's clearly rulebreaking or just egregious, then I'm going to err on the side of probes -- which is what they're there for -- so the behavior stops, which is the most important thing. It is better for most people to be underpunished than for a few to be overpunished when dealing with these grey areas, and whether you give a sixer or a twelver or one day is a judgement call in the moment. Not everyone is going to be happy, but like I said, the most important thing is for bad behavior to stop when it arises.
