Chris Hedges Links The Genocidal Fate Of Palestinians To Climate Chaos
I’ve been thinking along similar dark lines, but was just blown away right now in listening to Chris Hedges deliver an absolutely devastating speech at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Hedges crystalizes exactly what is really going on (listen, at time 35:00):
As climate change imperils survival, as resources become scarce, as migration becomes an imperative for millions, as agricultural yields decline, as coastal areas are flooded, as droughts and wildfires proliferate, as States fail, as armed resistance movements rise to battle their oppressors along with their proxies, genocide will not be an anomaly. It will be the norm.
This explains so many things.
I realize that this is terrifying to even consider, but it is our reality right now.
All people of good faith must rise to resist – despair, hopelessness, passivity, and nihilism are not options.
