I thought the site needs a dose of Chris Hedges again.

Chris Hedges: "The useful idiots have taken over." (11-3-2018)
I do not want to be a useful idiot. I want to be a useless idiot. I think I succeeded in that.

affectionate society
An affectionate society is a solidaritous society -- which is why the powers-that-be (PTB) want American society to be as unfeeling as possible.

What's this Chris?
Swallowing the Russiagate (at about 30 minutes), bullshit, shows Chris is swallowing some of the Demonratic fairy tale. His lecture is otherwise excellent. He pays no mention to the corrupt Hillary-Obama roles in furthering our dysfunctional state. Isn't Hillary a cult idol? Why spare the immediately preceding regimes of American empire as much as Trump?
Those pre-Trump elitists are no better than Trump. Trump is current, yes. But the other side of the elitist will have a huge resurgence when Trump is gone. They will be no better--and more warmongering.
