  • Hedges is relentless, intelligent, and definitely thinks outside the box. However, like Chomsky he depresses me if I listen for too long. Hey, after all the sun is shining, and we will all die someday;. leave a little mark somewhere, yes, but there has never been any panacea on Earth and never will.

  • Interesting talk by Hedges. Also, this news anchor is very good at talking quickly.

  • the republicans are definetly not for the working class .i think hes in denial about republicans.i do agree with him on alot of stuff

  • Hedges is so smart and very articulate. I love getting his insights.

  • intelligent

  • What in my opinion is the Worst about Democrats is...

    1. They think they can reason using logical arguments to solve any problem, and...

    2. Democrats completely lack, and systematically ignore Traditional Moral Values.

    ... cont ...

  • ... cont ...

    If you carefully think about the 2 bullet-points above, Reasoning using logical arguments while ignoring past experiences is not only a foolish and childish way to operate, it also leads to fatal mistakes, and...

    The lack, and the ignoring of Traditional Moral Values inevitably leads to harming Individuals and Families and eventually the Destruction of Society.

    ... Now... please do not conclude that I am a Republican... Coservatives have serious draw-backs too...

  • @MarthaLauraGranados Good morning. I don't understand your point on liberal's use of reason( as opposed to emotion?) Just because you say they don't use past experience doesn't make it true, since that data would have to be a part of the reasoning process.

    As to "Traditional Moral Values", are you saying you want to go back to Jim Crow-era segregation, and bans of interracial marriages? Because those things were all touted as "Traditional Moral Values" at the time, as was slavery before that.

  • @trog69 .

    ... cont ... ...money that is used for propaganda... it is used to brain-wash the public with the Sick, Venomous Feminist Doctrines which are:

    - spreading male-hate (Misandry)...

    - creating and encouraging ongoing conflict between the sexes…

    - maligning males and boys in every possible way…

    ...and Inspire Misandric Legislations and School/Court/Police Practices

  • @VAWAhorrors Oh, I see. So, since I am a big, bad libby for defending women's rights, you're gonna argue that you are right by only defending men against women. Nice job, Christian nutjob.

    Please go play in traffic, as I have no more time to waste with imbeciles.

  • @trog69 .

    Women's rights = Feminism = Anti-Marriage = Anti-Family = Slutty Women = Divorce = Abortions = "Men are Rapists" = Misandry = Domestic Violence Industry Propaganda of Lies = False Accusations = Same-Sex Marriages = Zero Moral Values = Destroyed Fathers/Men = Destroyed Families = Destroyed Civilized Society

    This is a Recipe for a Quick and Complete Destruction of our Society.

    Me no Christian.

    Me think YOU Christian nutjob.

    Me think YOU imbecile.

  • @VAWAhorrors That's funny; you're a fanatic who cannot be reasoned with, and use hateful, divisive language to paint independent women as "slutty, yet you say you're not a Christian? I guess religion isn't the only route to belligerent inanity.

    Go fuck yourself, idiot.

  • @VAWAhorrors When did I ever paint men as what you claim? You're merely constructing a straw-man of what you want to argue with, and you're so contemptibly ignorant that you haven't anything else to argue with, since I'm not a man-hater nor do I hate women, like you obviously do. What a hypocrite.

  • @trog69 Idiot, you're failed Ad hominem attacks backfired. You're still pushing for the "You're Christian", when most people on this planet is not even a Christian.

    Women's rights ? What about Men's rights ?

    Christianity did not invent the term "slut".

    Never imagined I would be defending Christianity.

  • @idricool Could you please translate that babbling into English? Thanks.

    As for Christians, VAWAwhackadoodle and you are using the exact same "Traditional Moral Values" hype, including the ignorant capitalization, as Christians. Oh, you could be dumbass Muslims, which is just as reprehensible and evil as the idiocy you've decided to defend.

  • @trog69 .

    ... cont ...

    Free Sex leads to Fornications, Adultery and Divorce - Oops... now Children are being hurt.. and something similar can be said about Abortion, Same sex marriages etc.

    Here is another example of the Democrats' Lack of Moral Values that is Now Destroying Men, Fathers, Boys and Families: The Violence Against Women Act, VAWA grants $1 Billion to the Misandric Domestic Violence Industry,...

    ... cont ...

  • @VAWAhorrors Why, you hypocritical dumbass. Are you really going to try this one on me, while "Conservative" Congressmen cheat on their wives almost constantly, then, like ol' Newt, try to assert that they did because they "love their country too much."? And contraception is the only way to prevent more abortions, but you seem to want more abortions, so you can have something to bitch about. Go fuck yourself, you stupid, ignorant, lying piece of shit.

  • @trog69 .

    Me think YOU hypocritical dumbass.

    Democrat Congressmen cheat on their wives almost constantly,

    Me think YOU Go fuck yourself, you stupid, ignorant, lying piece of shit.

    Feminism = Anti-Marriage = Anti-Family = Slutty Women = Divorce = Abortions = "Men are Rapists" = Misandry = Domestic Violence Industry Propaganda of Lies = False Accusations = Same-Sex Marriages = Zero Moral Values = Destroyed Fathers/Men = Destroyed Families = Destroyed Civilized Society

  • @trog69 .

    Hmmm... I see the problem... allow me to explain:

    1. Democrats think they can reason using logical arguments to solve any problem as opposed to applying Moral Values and 2. ...completely lack, and systematically ignore Traditional Moral Values. Here is and example: Today we have effective contraceptives, an when used correctly there should be no unwanted pregnancy. For a Democrats thes would mean "Free Sex", but for a Conservative Free Sex is Immoral.

  • G00gle: Martha Laura Granados Immigration Prostitute

    The VAWA Immigration Loop-hole:

    If you are an immigrant woman, pretend to be in love with a US citizen or a Legal Resident, get him to marry you. Then dial 211 and falsely accuse him of Domestic Violence and Rape and move to a VAWA shelter.

    You will be on a fast-track for a Green-Card and US citizenship - all expenses paid for by the US tax payer and as a bonus you will be getting full social benefits.

  • It's amazing that this interview was a year ago. Feels like right now.

  • Bill Clinton was good for America,because he was for the poor people.

  • Thank God, people like Chris Hedges still has a voice in Canada when he has been suppressed when standing up the brutal mediacracy in the US of A. 

  • FAIL!

    This sucks- it's not funny at all.

  • chris hedges for president ya

  • the interviewer is fantastic, i wanted to give him a round of applause

  • YAY!!!! I can only hope that the liberal class dies! but alas......(sigh)

  • @ferrozm Are you one of these conservative nuts who hates "liberals"? If so, you completely misunderstand Hedges and his work. He doesn't celebrate the Death of the Liberal Class, he illuminates the meaning of that death to America's middle and working classes. Chris Hedges is not an idiot conservative dope. He is critical of the American political class in its totality. If you think that so-called "conservative" politicians have your best interests at heart, you are also seriously illusioned.

  • @ferrozm Yeah, who needs those stupid liberal values like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the like?

  • @105Mittens oh please! the liberal class, the ones represented by Hedges and his ilk (not classical liberals) have long ceased to defend those values with hate speech laws, hate crime laws, laws that interfere with an individuals right to association, the ability for people to petition their govt and use free speech for political purposes (the liberal class was against free speech in Citizens United V. FEC) and all that other nonsense.

  • @MumblingxIdiot There ARE liberals who have consistenly defended freedom of speech and assembly etc(conservatives too) but obviously they've failed to have enough influence because look where we are.

  • spot on bubba-I got my Ruger Redhawk, UZI,10 GA.AUTODRUM 30 ROUND SHOTGUN AND 308 win scope and vintage Browning 50 caliber autoon my CJ 5 I can mount.

  • Typical Toronto Liberal host...up the arse of Clinton they can never see that all the things Bush did was built and put into place by Clinton.

  • Chris Hedges always presents his political theories as though they were the last word in originality. Corporate domination of the electoral system, neglect of the interests of "working class people"? These are the same topics that Michael Stivic used to take Archie to task for in the early 70's. Nothing new here.

  • @SarniaLute

    True, not many original ideas exist in the world, but it seems our society has been lulled into apathy. I hope the Mike Stivics of America can start to get back in the faces of the Archie Bunkers again and start articulating what so many of the smartest people are thinking.

  • @SarniaLute

    When does he ever say that his ideas as if "they were the last word in originality"? He never says that his ideas are new. It's something that Hedges acknowledges has been part of a form of social criticism of industrial society, one that dates back even way before the 1970s, back to the days of Adam Smith and Karl Marx.

  • @brightsuperstition For me, when a writer brings a new manuscript to his publisher, he claims through that act to have something original to say. Hedges is smart, no doubt about it, but original, no. I recall learning in one of Hedges' previous books that Michael Jackson was a troubled, over-hyped product of the society that he lived in. No kidding... deep stuff.

  • @SarniaLute They aren't original critiques; however, we need people to continue to challenge the status quo like Chris Hedges has done. It's rare that people speak out and try to educate others on the truth. The liberal class is anything but liberal.

  • @dutytocareforothers I have no quarrel with his point of view, nor the topic of his new book. Of course, to be flagged as a 'liberal' –I am one– in Canada, has a different meaning than it does south of the border.

  • @SarniaLute

    interesting point about the relativism of "liberalism" within the poltical spectrum in different countries. You're pretty much right that being liberal in Canada tends to be more different than being one in the US. Same thing can be said about other political ideologies in different countries. Such as being conservative in a country like US would be against public heath care, but not so for conservatives in most other countries.

  • @SarniaLute Being this dismissive tells me you're not really listening or understanding what Hedges is saying.

  • @jdgrab1 I thought I was clear: I don't dismiss his subject matter, but I find nothing new in his perspective. I think Susan Jacoby's "The Age of American Unreason" is a much better book on the death of the liberal class.

  • Allll new President does after every election cycle is step into the cockpit with all the same controls and switches in place that run the country in default mode.

    Thus there is no incentive to change what has already been in-place for the last 12 Presidents as far back as 1969 when I was protesting the Viet Nam War in front of the Nixon & Johnson W H.

    INothing short of a full blown revolution will change it;.Its over.

    The Liberal Class let it go too far.

  • @Crew7Bravo

    You're right. And that aint gonna happen either.

  • I only recently discovered Chris Hedges from being on Thom Hartmann, I am reading and watching everything I can. This guy is amazing!

  • I'd love to hear Chris Hedges talk about George Walker Bushes 'Decision points' book.

  • Comment removed

  • Chris Hedges hit it right on the nail. Take it from someone who has lived in both the US and now Canada, all working people should watch this video.

    Prepare for laughter, the second part of this Agenda show, Death of the Liberal Class?, is filled with Tony Keller & Reihan Salam saying silly things.

  • Chris Hedges is a rare voice of sanity and truth. Stop being zombies people, organize, smash the system, grow a pair.
