I make fun of Chris Hedges because you quote him a lot that’s not because I don’t agree with some of what he says, but he’s wrong when he continues to say America was a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. Some of the other things he said were absolutely true. But my biggest problem with Chris Hedges is at the very end of that article………

“Author’s Note to Readers: There is now no way left for me to continue to write a weekly column for ScheerPost and produce my weekly television show without your help. The walls are closing in, with startling rapidity, on independent journalism, with the elites, including the Democratic Party elites, clamoring for more and more censorship. Bob Scheer, who runs ScheerPost on a shoestring budget, and I will not waiver in our commitment to independent and honest journalism, and we will never put ScheerPost behind a paywall, charge a subscription for it, sell your data or accept advertising. Please, if you can, sign up at chrishedges.substack.com so I can continue to post my Monday column on ScheerPost and produce my weekly television show, “The Chris Hedges Report.”

In a true capitalist form he’s begging for money lol. He’s not that much different than the rest of them.

begging for money is not capitalist. i dont consider 1 person business w/ no workers as capitalist.

he talks about the american political system like how the founding fathers set it up. basically takes howard zinn's position.

i listen to some guys where i dont agree with everything they say but somethings i agree with. i usually dont quote them.

chris hedges message was what actually got me to do something, so hes my favorite i think. i usually forget about alot of ppl on twitter.

The same guy talks About the evils of the dollar and then ask for them? OK
This isn’t about whether I think he’s right or wrong this is about him being hypocritical. And yes Ricky he is the epitome of a capitalist. He is made a living off writing articles you feel you cannot live without he is offering you a service. and he’s even using scare tactics to tell you it might all be coming to an end soon if you don’t give now .

we disagree on the meaning. capitalism for me has to include exploitation of workers. if ur not exploiting workers, then youre also not barking orders at workers, and a major problem is solved.

churches talk about the evils of dollar and ask for them. they need money to function. question is how much. if ur being greedy then ur a hypocrite.

But he’s trying to exploit you and his followers by using fear to give him money to keep writing.
