  1. @ChrisMayLA6 @ReggieHere

    I am wary of using the term "fascist" wrt the USA.

    The word "fascist" tends to draw attention excessively towards the theatrical elements of Trumpian power, such as semi-uniformed thugs abducting people.

    This focus obscures the more subtle systemic fascism, from mass incarceration to voter suppression to redlining to The Pledge to compulsory worship of the military.

    #ChrisHedges usefully contrasts Trump's oligarchic fascism with the Dems' corporate fascism.

  11. I may have posted this Kshama Sawant interview with Chris Hedges earlier. Today Hedges posted his endorsement of Sawant on his Substack. Note that Alice Walker and Mumia Abu-Jamal have also endorsed her. She is one of my favorite politicians. She points out that Smith ought to be prosecuted for war crimes (Iraq War).

  20. #ChrisHedges | The Joke is on Us

    “Trump has also been necessary to expose the plastic progressives, the liberal anti-Trump imperialists who, in their opposition to Trump’s deal with Iran, can only look like warmongering imperial psychopaths,” writes Nate Bear. “From all those sharing memes on social media about surrender, from the Democrats and CNN talking heads decrying the deal, to Jimmy Fallon dragging Trump for giving Iran back the money the US stole, there is no articulation of an alternative to endlessly bombing Iran. There’s no anger from liberals over dead Iranians, or at the imperial state, at Zionism or the embedded death machinery that made this violence possible. No, they’re just embarrassed for empire. And they don’t want to recognise the limits of that empire.”

    They've got Pauline Hanson speaking.

    "... Maurice Reilly, walked on to the stage and removed the banner with another staff member.
    “We’re not doing stunts, all right … we’re at the press club,” Reilly could be heard saying."

    This is the National Press Club which un-invited / un-booked / cancelled journalist Chris Hedges.

    Clearly it's a stunt venue.
