I loved religilous, it was awesome. Minus the bits of islamaphobia. Sucks that he seems to have gotten either audience captured of just let his shitty mask slip and is showing his real feelings and opinions. Same shit with Jimmy Dore and glen greenwald. So many people who used to be big names on the left have all went down the right wing rabbit hole for one reason or another
I used to like Chris Hedges, too. I was confused when I saw a video of him speaking at the Rage Against the War Machine rally with Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. last year. Why align with someone who supports torture and drone strikes on people just delivering humanitarian aid and with someone who pushes the gutting of Social Security?
Sadly i think it has to do with the reality of money. Gullible maga apparently subscribe way more than anybody. So i think even a solid leftist toiling for 83 bucks a week is going to be tempted by the huge amount of money lying to gullible right-wingers.
Yeah, good point. Whether a person is an independent journalist or an activist or both, and have bills and rent to pay, a huge amount of money is very tempting. Sometimes, principles aren't enough to pay bills and rent.
