[Peace-discuss] Chris Hedges, brilliant as always, on "Fascism in the Age of Trump"

[Karen Aram]

Carl

Glad you came, and one can certainly say, the truth was told at the anti-tax rally today, no holding back.

These young people understand what they are facing and they’re not relying on electoral politics, or the Democrats to bail us out. They know, reform isn’t the answer. They know its the capitalist system that has brought us to this, and what we need is “structural" change.

I neither argue against rallies nor apologize for Trump.

I do think it important to tell the truth about both.

Action, yes, not tv, but action in the streets, it worked in the past, we have no alternative. Your continual arguing against rally’s, other than opposing war, like your continued “apology” for Trump, is a distraction.

Isn’t that what we should be doing, on (UP)TV and in demonstrations, for a yet-unknowing world?

As Chesterton said, if a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.

Sorry Carl, It’s not television, it’s U Tube, and there is no transcript. It’s not brief either. As to a summary, I would never presume to summarize Chris Hedges, anymore than I would presume to summarize Chomsky.

Give me a transcript (or at least a summary), dammit.

I don’t have time to listen to someone talk on television.
