“On today’s What America’s Thinking, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds 73 percent of Democratic voters said they’d consider voting for President Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic Primary. Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky discuss. This survey was conducted online within the United States from July 16 – 17 among 957 registered voters by HarrisX. The sampling margin of error of this poll is plus or minus 3.17 percentage points. The results reflect a nationally representative sample of registered voters. Results were weighted for age, gender, region, race/ethnicity, income, political party, education, ideology and area type where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population.”
“Christopher Lynn Hedges (born September 18, 1956) is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Presbyterian minister, author and television host. His books include War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (2002), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction; Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle (2009); Death of the Liberal Class (2010); Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (2012), written with cartoonist Joe Sacco, which was a New York Times best-seller; Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt (2015); and his most recent, America: The Farewell Tour (2018). Obey, a documentary by British filmmaker Temujin Doran, is based on his book Death of the Liberal Class.[1]
Hedges spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, West Asia, Africa, the Middle East (he is fluent in Arabic), and the Balkans. He has reported from more than fifty countries, and has worked for The Christian Science Monitor, NPR, Dallas Morning News, and The New York Times,[2] where he was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years (1990–2005) serving as the paper’s Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief during the war in the former Yugoslavia.
In 2001, Hedges contributed to The New York Times staff entry that received the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for the paper’s coverage of global terrorism. He also received the Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism in 2002.[3] He has taught at Columbia University, New York University, the University of Toronto and Princeton University.[2][4][5][6]
Hedges, who wrote a weekly column for the progressive news website Truthdig for 14 years, was fired along with all of the editorial staff in March 2020.[7][8][9] Hedges and the staff had gone on strike earlier in the month to protest the publisher’s attempt to fire the Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer, demand an end to a series of unfair labor practices and the right to form a union.[10] He hosts the Emmy-nominated program On Contact for the RT (formerly Russia Today) television network.[11]
Hedges has also taught college credit courses for several years in New Jersey prisons as part of the B.A. program offered by Rutgers University.[12] He has described himself as a socialist,[13][14] specifically an anarchist,[15][16] identifying with Dorothy Day in particular.[17]
“Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.”
Why are there so relative few decent people on the internet, who attempt to be humane and fair?
Why is it with these people, that it’s always about kicking and attacking other groups, who are literally doing nothing more than trying to survive in this world?
Why do they always latch onto another group which is socially vulnerable, while trying to make it all about themselves…all about how the survival of others supposedly “hurts them”…all about their own virtue signaling…and all about stereotyping…and all about fear mongering?…
…and just as important…all about using the berating and dehumanization of others, to make personal financial gain…Living Off The Degradation And Destruction Of Other Human Beings…
Why are they so eager to hurt other people, instead of listening and talking…understanding?…
Between the video thumbnail and the introduction…this one cannot even wait twenty seconds, to expose the fundamental nature and quality of their video.
…and this one does not disappoint, in hitting all the bases of smarmy, gutless tactics…but, it’s a PYCC [Professional YouTube Content Crapper]…a person/group who craps out content for money…so the bar is extremely low to begin with…and MAPs are such an easy demographic to dehumanize and shit all over…so…no unexpected content or tactics here.
I notice how she seems to think…that lifting quotes off of a website intentionally designed to drag “pro contact” people, painting them in the worst light while not allowing them to speak for themselves, is somehow “on the level”…
The old “Rome and Greece did it, so it’s okay” red herring appears here…
Since this one doesn’t care enough to actually understand the context of the argument…let me explain…
We generally get barraged with ignorant claims that intergenerational relationships have never been accepted during human history…We with a bit of knowledge on ancient history know this to be absolutely false…and we mention the fact that it has been socially common in several major cultures throughout human history [Rome, Greece, Sparta, France, New Guinea, etc]…several of these cultures quite highly regarded and celebrated, even to this day…and they thrived to their peak while doing it, too.
Of course…as soon as you prove them wrong, they ignore the egg all over their faces, refuse to acknowledge what you just did there, and spin it into some B.S. claim “you think things were perfect back then”, or “you think we should be living an existence like that of ancient cultures”…or “you cannot conform such practices, in line with modern morals and what we believe about human sexuality”…or my favorite, “you think we should allow barbarity and rape, the likes of which happened in ancient cultures”.
It takes some true bankruptcy of integrity, to respond like that…and yet, it’s pretty well all we ever see out of these sorts.
I also notice how these sorts of PYCCs always go out, digging up the most controversial and dramatic content they can find, to feature it in front of their large audience as “representation” of MAPs…”representation” of what’s been going on with MAPs, the last decade or so…
You know what sorts of MAPs never get featured in these kinds of dehumanizing, hate speech videos?…
…MAPs like me…MAPs like Nigel Oldfield [RIP]…people like Kamil Beylant…and certainly not professional researchers, who actually agree with us…
…people with a very long history of being intelligent, informed, fair and active in this community, for the betterment of everyone’s lives…but the reality of our existence and history, is not convenient to the dehumanizing, blood lust narrative people like this push.
They just want their adoring fans to send them money, for shitting all over other human beings, and declaring that other human beings don’t have human rights…For releasing yet more, disgusting hatred and cruelty into this world.
This world rewards the ugliest, most destructive, hateful and cowardly of this world…and here, we see it in action.
This is why the human species is a failed species…This is why most human cultures are failed cultures…It’s why YouTube is a failed internet platform…
…It elevates and amplifies the absolute worst, cruelest and most hateful among us.
…Enjoy your blood money “iilluminaughtii”…but don’t ever pretend, that is not exactly what it is…and know that many of us see you for what you are.
Give me a world full of MAPs, experiencing an extreme drought of “iilluminaughtii”s any day.
…That would be a world actually worth living in.
This world we exist in today, which “you good people” have fashioned and touted…people are terminating themselves left and right, all the time…just to get the hell out of it, and away from it…because “this” world you think is so “morally correct”…in reality, is utter shit.
I shall now go back to working towards making the world a more humane, united and understanding place…
…a personal, life long work “iilluminaughtii” has no care of mentioning, while profiting off of the dehumanization of Minor Attracted People.
Some of us actually care about lessening the suffering in this world.
We even see hints towards the “LGBTQ Owns The Expression of Pride” sentiment…”MAPs aren’t allowed the bare expression of community or belonging, or a good nature”…
This person is offended, because we stand up in defense of our own humanity, and against lies spoken against us.
People like this enrage me to my core…and I’m going to stop right here, because it’s taken all I have to refrain from talking about this person with expletives.
I am just so sick and fed up with this level of contempt and arrogance.
I ask you sincerely, who deserves these words of vulgar abuse and hate, merely for daring to live, love and be loved?…
Have no doubt, that Child Love and Teen Love are a pure form of love…genuine and worthy of defense, no matter what some may say about it…
Yes…I know it’s trivial…but Xsplit Gamecaster has been sneaky, sneaky software tonight…for inexplicably having it’s own logo turned back on for no apparent reason…and then “lying to me” the whole freaking time, by not allowing it to apear on the screen while I was recording [which signifies that it’s going to be part of the end video]…but secretly recording it into the end video anyway.
I paid for the lifetime software license, to be rid of that logo…and I’ve now turned it back off…But why was it turned back on, after these past few years of keeping it off?
“Protesters drowned out US Reps Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republican members of Congress as they held a press conference to back complaints by Capitol riot suspects over their treatment in prison.
The lawmakers fled the news conference surrounded by security as protesters screamed at Mr Gaetz, calling him a “paedophile”, and accusing the group of committing treason with their statements in support of the rioters.
“The data Bennett provided to the outside analysts, Larry Moore and Benny White, showed the results of the ongoing machine count of the ballots tracks very closely with the county’s tally.
If that trend continues, it may call into question the results of Cyber Ninjas’ count, because Fann has said that the Cyber Ninjas’ count did not match the county’s.
