What would you consider about Chris HedgesтАЩs ideas for a better society to be тАЬvictim mentality?тАЭ I think itтАЩs offside to criticize system bashing, also. The system is not working well at all, wouldnтАЩt you agree? Civil disobedience and non-violent revolution seems to me very far from victim mentality cure. That is what I take from Chris Hedges. But maybe you prefer embedded journalists?
I simply donтАЩt understand your comment. Maybe IтАЩm missing something. Can you give examples or reference?
Points out all the politically correct villains. CouldnтАЩt agree more. But I donтАЩt see his civil disobedience and non-violent revolution gaining much traction lately. In fact, your 21st century Progressive revolutionaries seem to be taking the exact opposite tract. Know why?
Because HedgeтАЩs and leftist тАШuber-intellectualsтАЩ like him refuse to acknowledge the big picture. Besides the fact that there will be no ego boosting, revenue generating book signings and speaking engagements in doing that from *where* heтАЩs coming from- the motivations, illusions and failures on the part of our individual and collective citizenry play just as big a part in allowing themselves to be swallowed whole by mega alpha predators as does the predators endless scheming to swallow them up.
HedgeтАЩs various citizen classes are blameless, innocent, victimized, and ever-oppressed by forces outside of themselves, owed the world right now and must be made whole in every way by an all knowing, omnipresent, benevolent and anointed Administrative State. ItтАЩs the same old limp wristed, power grab of the powerless approach with no real empowerment, no real solutions except that of propping up our self-interested, self-dealing, politically connected savior caste to continue itтАЩs ever unabated and exponential growth.
Chris Hedges for sure, too. He's the real thing
If your into systems bashing and victim mentality as the cure.
