Chris Hedges Quotes
Sadism Dominates The Culture. It Runs Like An Electric Current Through Reality Television And Trash-talk Programs, Is At The Core Of Pornography, And Fuels The Compliant, Corporate Collective. Corporatism Is About Crushing The Capacity For Moral Choice And Diminishing The Individual To Force Him Or Her Into An Ostensibly Harmonious Collective. This Hypermasculinity Has Its Logical Fruition In Abu Ghraib, The Wars In Iraq And Afghanistan, And Our Lack Of Compassion For Our Homeless, Our Poor, The Mentally Ill, The Unemployed, And The Sick ... We Accept The System Handed To Us And Seek To Find A Comfortable Place Within It. We Retreat Into The Narrow, Confined Ghettos Created For Us And Shut Our Eyes To The Deadly Superstructure Of The Corporate State.
