Chris Hedge: The Myth Of Human Progress

[singular_me]

follow the fake money trail, work and consume mantra, the sky is the limit competition and speculation, plundering, looting, exploiting and polluting the earth for profits.... all of which is causing a crisis in Consiciousness. A Spiritual suffering.

ps: I have watched the first 5 mins only but I like the tone enough to post it on here, unfortunately he includes the climate change, but for the rest it is worth it. (too bad my internet bandwith is too slow)

well actually climate change (coming little ice age) will impact us since we are financially utterly broke, so from the other side of the fence, it is a sound argument, even though it is not man-made.

also he speaks against capitalism but when he describes our situation it is clear that he addresses economic fascism.

transcript
To emotionally accept impending disaster, to attain the gut-level understanding that the power elite will not respond rationally to the devastation of the ecosystem, is as difficult to accept as our own mortality. The most daunting existential struggle of our time is to ingest this awful truth -- intellectually and emotionally -- and rise up to resist the forces that are destroying us.... http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Myth-of-Human-Progress-by-Chris-Hedges-Climate_Corporate_Evil_History-140414-177.html

you ever see people when your out that look like they are a sleep

cant say that they are asleep but most of the time too happy to be true

My God... that has to be among the most repugnant speeches I've ever listened to. Hedge's lips were practically quivering in sycophantic admiration over Lenin's Bolshevik revolution,
and his constant mantra of "white men subjugating black men and men of color" was absolutely sickening. Not to mention his use of the poor persecuted Jews during the holocaust... shtick.

I kinda liked him till I heard that disgusting speech. WTF...was Abe Foxman his speech writer?

[singular_me]

okay Santa, I mentioned that I listened only to first 5 mins... but however, we can righfully say that no matter how we look at the picture, Human Progeess is indeed a Myth, cant we?.

however I did take a look at the transcript and it didnt sound thatttt horrific, of course he is a leftist and I am not holding my breath. I however very much like to listen to collectivist point of views because they make me feel right about my current choices. I never feel disgusted but growing in self-confidence.

Obviously, there are two reactions that are polarities here... the way we chose to regard life in general will always differ as there are as many observers as angles to look at the same event.

from the transcript: Friedrich Nietzsche in "Beyond Good and Evil" holds that only a few people have the fortitude to look in times of distress into what he calls the molten pit of human reality. Most studiously ignore the pit. Artists and philosophers, for Nietzsche, are consumed, however, by an insatiable curiosity, a quest for truth and desire for meaning. They venture down into the bowels of the molten pit. They get as close as they can before the flames and heat drive them back. This intellectual and moral honesty, Nietzsche wrote, comes with a cost. Those singed by the fire of reality become "burnt children," he wrote, eternal orphans in empires of illusion.

Nietzche was a Libertarian http://the-libertarian.co.uk/nietzsche-10-great-quotes/.... as the deception cannot be contained anymore, truth is everywhere and nowehere, the more conflicts of interest increase, the more people will find themselves in the middle (un)knowingly.

that could be good: maybe people who have attended that speech or watched this vid will soon rush to buy Nietzche's books.

So far, first several minutes. Two jews introduced a third jew. Apparently he got a standing hurray, then he comes out with , as expected , leftist BS.
Later on, answering questions, another jew is reading audience questions, interestingly enough they discuss people of color that are apparently oppressed (by whites , word is not coming out, but multiculturalism and other BS does, clearly jews who've been kicked out of 40+ countries are to judge?).

Look at his nose, his attached ears, there's no doubt about it, Chris Hedges attends the right synagogue.

3:30, still hate speech, bad bad white man. Should look at his jewish friends.

4:45 finally makes it to the right side, asking how much longer can financial system work. Apparently, when you print money - forever.

5:30 excess CO2...oceans become inhospitable to life ? the what what?

..skipped.

25th minute, calls all his jewish buddies - communist revolutionaries, with almost tear in his eye.

46:50 "I do not fight fascist because I will win, I fight fascist because they are fascist".

-
So, I was expecting him to finally make a point about human evolution and progress. He makes none. Can't even properly name his speech. Who IS the guy, anyway?

Funny thing is they look white...

[singular_me]

well its clear that "left and right" are here to stay... and the only place I want to stand on is right in the middle. :)

Tnks freenergy for your 2 cents but I still think that this (collectivist) speech is worth watching, mainly for its subtext.

[singular_me]

I listened from 25:00 to 30mins this morning and he cites the bolchevic and other révolutions as well, but also says that we will have to come up with new intellectual means to change the system and advocates for civil disobedience at 30mins to bring down the tyranical structure, especially that of the banks.

anyone who really understands the stakes will at turn sounds leftist or rightist because the deception is pervasive throughout the political spectrum. The truth is in the middle. The mind control consists in regarding any leftist or rightist over tones as a cognitive nemesis. Those standing in the middle are regarded as either on the left or right, depending on the end of the spectrum one stands on.... ROFLOL... if we dont abandon this right vs left reductive mindset, NWO still has bright days ahead.



will listen more when I go to Library this coming Thur
