#ChrisHedges | The Politics of Cultural Despair

"The smug, self-righteous 'moral' crusade against Trump stokes the national reality television show that has replaced journalism and politics. It reduces a social, economic and political crisis to the personality of Trump. It refuses to confront and name the corporate forces responsible for our failed democracy."

"This despair has been played out on the bodies of the disenfranchised through opioid and alcoholism addictions, gambling, mass shootings, suicide ... morbid obesity and the investment of our emotional and intellectual life in tawdry spectacles and the allure of magical thinking ... These are the pathologies of a deeply diseased culture, what Friedrich #Nietzsche calls an aggressive despiritualized #nihilism."
