@joeywreck @kanyewest The only thing wrong with West is 2.7 billion dollars. Otherwise he wouldn’t have the power to humiliate himself on such an epic historic level, he’d simply be irrelevant and anonymous.

The last public declaration of nonviolence by Chris Hedges appears to have been made during his speech at the Kairos Club in London on September 11, 2024. In this talk, he emphasized the importance of adopting nonviolent methods to combat powerful interests such as the fossil fuel and animal agriculture industries, framing nonviolence as essential for effective resistance[1].

Yes, thats my point. It's Horne that should be sitting there not Hedges. In fact Hedges instead of highlighting Horne could use his influence to put Horne or someone else in that chair. So it's probably safe to say that the the average viewer is gonna member Hedge's face and seek out more of him rather than remembering Horne's name and exploring his work. I don't think I'm splitting hairs, in the context of Hedges long record of shutting down serious conversations about the diversity of tactics, the actual history of nonviolence and his liberal appeal to the power structures he supposedly critics. He's a reformist and personally I adhere to George Jackson's definition fascism as reform.

Hedges often makes statements that are largely accurate. However, it’s important to note that he is a white man speaking about others—primarily racialized individuals and those directly involved in struggles on the ground, taking action and risking their lives. Hedges has consistently positioned himself above the people actively engaged in these struggles, whether in the streets or on battlefields. Even in his role as a war journalist, he observes from a distance rather than being embedded in the fight. As a result, when he’s interviewed, he not only speaks about things he may not fully understand but also marginalizes the voices of those who do—individuals like Gerald Horne, Laith Marouf, reporters from the Activist News Network, and others. Figures such as Lamont, who is also a liberal, lend Hedges an unearned credibility that enables him to "sheep dog" people toward a form of Christo-fascist, white liberalism, ultimately diverting energy away from radical movements.

@WakeRevolt @YouTube I put a whole thread starting at this link under my original tweet calling him out:
Chris Hedges, a prominent journalist and supporter of the Occupy movement, strongly advocated for nonviolence as the most effective strategy for achieving the movement's goals. In his controversial article *"The Cancer in Occupy,"* Hedges criticized the Black Bloc tactic—characterized by masked protesters engaging in property destruction and confrontations with police—arguing that such actions alienate mainstream supporters and justify police repression[1][2]. He contended that nonviolent resistance is essential to gain public sympathy and sustain the movement's momentum[1][6]. Hedges' stance sparked intense debate within activist circles. Critics, including anarchist David Graeber, accused him of oversimplifying violence by equating property destruction with harm against people and of undermining the diversity of tactics employed by protesters[2][4]. Supporters of Black Bloc argued that their actions were defensive and necessary in the face of state violence, while others emphasized solidarity among activists, regardless of tactical differences[4][5]. Ultimately, Hedges maintained that nonviolence was not only morally superior but also strategically crucial for building a broad-based movement capable of challenging systemic power structures[1][7].

Q: White as snow? A: No, white as dead rotting bones.
There is no “international law” there is no “human rights” there is only a global white supremacy, it’s as simple as that no “nuance” no “it’s complicated” it’s straight up western global hegemony and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is trying to distract you.
