How do we rate Chris Hedges?

how do we rate Chris Hedges?

Patrician

intellectually dishonest trash

how so

Not so good

>inb4 he's dishonest because he disagrees with me

Why does every racist guy look the least white.

Insightful guy but not the best writer.
Hedges isn't racist.

He's a Leftist you idiot

Read Dear angry Lunatic by Sam Harris response to some of his dishonesty and prime example of why he should not be rated.

Then and 'The Troubling Case of Chris Hedges' from newrepublic which examines his plagiarism

that should give you enough reasons to never listen to him again

>unironically reading Sam Harris

Can you start using a trip so I can filter you

...

War is a force that gives us meaning was genuinely great. His collaboration with Joe Sacco was also quite inspired.

Also, that hit piece in New Republic was disingenuous nitpicking, and Sam Harris is a talentless hack, who makes a living from re-wrapping outright banalities as genius insights and selling them to autistic dimwits with ill-founded superiority complexes.

>leftists can't be racist
pure ideology

leftard cuckold

He's actually really conservative when it comes to sexuality, he's one of the only Leftists who speaks out against prostitution and pornography

>BTFO the liberal establishment for turning from helping the working class to fucking them over with mass immigration, free trade deals, endless war, focusing only on identity bullshit etc etc

Not a bad dude in my estimate

yes, that is true. He is a moral scold who thinks that markets have led to degeneracy and moral decay. I am sure one can make a case for him being conservative in same way Scruton made the similar argument for Adorno.

Yeah he called out what would happen to Hillary pretty much exactly while we were still in the Bush years
I feel bad for him though, he seems pretty lost on where there is to go from here

Ultimately he's a Christian. Everything he associates with after that is just strategic

Bump

He's not though. He graduated in theology, but lost faith and never became a priest. If he is a christian in any sense of the word, then it is in a very vague, Tillich-like way. He says explicitly that he finds it impossible to believe in a personal god after all of the meaningless deaths that he has seen as a war correspondent.

Thats what I was referring to, and its in no way unimportant
