- Collapse of Complex Societies
In Chris Hedges' vision, the forces that drive the current climate crisis, that drive the planet beyond its carrying capacity and fuel the unfolding extinction event, are the same forces that have invaded and ultimately invalidated our so-called democratic processes. This is a largely unchecked corporate power, driven by a logic of growth and profit-making, that arguably leaves the rest of us little option other than mass disobedience and a grass roots reclaiming of the power of
the streets.
How lucky the people of Chris Hedges' Church in New Jersey are to have him as their minister.
thanks chris, from all over the world Bless you!
Not from me.
Great as his prepared talk is, the best part is his response to a question at the end about despair. Wow.
It usually is.
Since I suffer from despair, I found it incredibly helpful. Volunteering opportunities are everywhere.
You would think a man of such honesty and integrity would be a household name in all but the sickest Societies Shouldn't it be 58 million comments.
He was on the tagline of half the NYT foreign desk articles before Big Brother got his filthy hands around his throat
May GOD bless this man heart and soul, listening to him changes your life, open your eyes to truth. Understanding the wrongs of this wicked world.
My God he's GREAT.!!!!!!
Thank you Chris. Is there a better exposition on the state of the human dilemma at this crucial time? You are a courageous, principled, and wise human being.
Yes there is:people in today’s world can neither shit or get off the pot. So, so, so,,,,,,,,,,What was the question again ?
@@eddie8678
Yes Eddie, which one would you say you are?
😮😢😂😊😊😅😅😮😅
Please someone send this to every single leader in the world.
To hell with leaders, send it to the people.
Thanks, Chris!
This is the best speech I have heard...
Amazing speaker.
I was there. It was a great night.
I was there also but some rude person sitting in front of me kept farting.
I'm jealous.
Now I want to reread Moby Dick. Chris Hedges makes it very inspiring.
Funny, I just ordered Moby Dick on a whim.
The ecosystem is all we have. Just remember that.
Will you please remember to change your socks before you go out in public because your feet really stink!
Yes, an echo-chamber.
Cheer up, Jesus will come back to save our sorry asses.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

I wonder where he is at on the "Zeitgeist Movement".
true men of this live time
What the he’ll are you referring to-what is “live time” ? Or were you referring to magic Jesus?
fantastic.
Well Chri.s, here we are
I don't understand why Chris Hedges gets such obscure venues.. considering he's such a charismatic speaker, esp. compared to say Chomsky.
Something I'm missing here?
You missed big man ! The Assyrian lad , abram
Yes, precisely BECAUSE he is so effective a speaker! Do you actually think Wall Street likes this message?
Cuz of his receding hair :(
With or without humans, the climate continues to change. ☀️
Thanks!
thank you for all symboles des travailleuses du monde
Luv dat rite wingy thingy. Repubs say we can do as we will because God promised not to drown the world again.
We have a long history of doing what God won't.
Please give me his facebook name,or his e-mail, or any adresses u got on Gods ( Elohims abram )
Chris may rub you the wrong way, you might even be repulsed by his message, but he does speak the truth.... Dare you to watch this powerful speech!!
I dare not, and haven't missed much. Fantasy is beyond my level of interest.
@@adrianjanssens7116 ? Fantasy? This isn't a religious speech
@@nimzomitch I couldn't have said it better. 👍👍👍
❤ ! How nice to listen to this nice young woman!
16:36 to skip intro
+LiberaLib I wish I had seen your comment before I watched it all....that intro is really annoying.
Thank you.
please,, the answer is so easy,, non have the guts,
drop the dollar,, stop buying and selling
start giving and trading and the power of those few would evaporate overnight,
return my native ancestors ways and everyone wins
“And with this positive and optimistic NOTE LET ME INTRODUCE CHRIS HEDGES” so we can bring a less dystopian image for the future of the USA and the rest of the world!!!
Good job five stars
Hedges starts at 16:09.
I'm glad Chris isn't on a complete bummer in this video.
We all live downstream...
❤❤💚💚💚
Chris - I was gripped listening to you. Always a certain beauty in your words despite the ugliness we face. ♥️
It's 8 years later. Things are worse and fast tracked toward destruction. Mankind never learns.
Fantastic sermon that strikes right at the dark heart of this rotten, corrupt system.
Tbhank you for fosil fuel that profided good roads, electric power. Nstural gas to heat our homes. ,thanks for feedom of press, freedom of speech, the normal heating of the earth and then a ice age, as we move away from the sun. Then the.

When I see your accomplishments I am proud of you
When I see your disgraceful actions I feel ashamed
I care not what color you are or where you live
because I KNOW that you are my brother
.
So why do we let them say we are not brothers
that to kill you is my duty and my life is yours to take
How is it we let them turn our love into hate
and when did we forget that we were brothers
.
I love the way you care for your children
I love the way you smile at your daughter’s wedding
I cry when I see you bury your sons during wartime
and I mourn alongside of you at their funerals
.
We are all fighting the wrong enemy
and in doing so we have misplaced our supreme gifts
When we let bullets fly our voices no longer rejoice
and our music is silenced by the sound of bombs
.
So let me say this to you my brothers and sisters
My children are not your enemies, nor am I
We are all fighting the wrong enemy
sit and let us speak, so I can show you who they are...
What a thing today.. You don’t know him. He maybe a good public speaker but a prick in real life.
Isn’t that cute ? More sappy sentimentality. Just what the world needs-like magic Jesus.
Hedges begins at 58.00.
I just know, "I can't."
The gates of hell opens and Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and the like of them come out with a big smile to announce 📣 the end of society!!!
If one wants to be horrified, take a look at the map that shows which counties in the U.S. went for Trump and Clinton. Geographically, it's about 90 percent Trump, and 10 percent Clinton. Gave Me the heebie jeebies.
Did anyone else skip some madness in the first 12 minutes to get to the good stuff. Really convicted by this guy's talk but the start was some goonery
WHY/HOW can prayers or GOD answer or come when the same support Lucifer? Hypocrites seek pleasure and not the love of GOD...
Chris, Please pressure Obama to appear with you ! Don't you think he believes he could handle an interview with you ? - Farley A
I love Chris Hedges, but I see him speaking mostly before what appears to be white well educated audiences. Or perhaps im wrong.
It’s a shame that for all the wit and wisdom, “white man” is the best description that can be used for Anglo-Saxon European. PC for African American but not the other. You loose many with that vernacular.
Immigrants wanting private property fantasy weight and measure European calling castle control
Rich WASPs talking to other rich WASPs....
Very entertaining but please stop using Moby Dick as a metaphor for global capitalism. Instead use Little Red Ridinghood since people today are so involved with peophiles. You can use this in regards to the obsession people have with gingerbread houses-or was that another child fable ? Anyway, kindly write anew sermon for the Uboob audience. Oh,, make-up an entire sermon about “magic Jesus”, I just lov e hearing about him.
Wow, you have the call of God on your life. As a missionary Ide feel more comfortable if you was coming in the name of Christ. Our victories rarely ever come from God unless He is the one who we are coming in. All other victories are fleeting. We can talk about love and forgiveness. But as Christians our love and our hope are overshadowed with the gospel message and a deep desire to share that gospel message. It is the foundation and sacrifice of all our love. We dare not build upon another foundation without that voice. You brought some really great ideas to the pulpit. But you didnt bring Christ. Ironic. Your standing in front of a cross without a gospel message. Dont get me wrong. Im happy for all the wonder things you have done, the battles you have been. But are you sure you have the right message? Maybe its time you answer the call of God, and put a gospel message to al that bad news. Gospel = Good news
He could have done this whole speech without Christ talk at all. Religious delusion poisons everything. Wouldn't God be another tyrant but not one you choose to defy, instead that you choose to serve. Nothing he says is more relevant than today though. Much love.
God/religion are human constructs, made up to make ourselves feel better or justify an agenda.
Chris Hedges in front of a Cross? He replaced Christ with Che decades ago.
Love Chris, except for his insistence on man made climate change and 'fossil fuel' oil. Both are lies 'they' tell us, and I hope that is not a measure of his misdirection, but of his misinformation.
I checked it all out. Only propaganda from corporate scientists think it is a hoax or untrue. The real truth is that we are probably done for already.
