Last year, Chris Hedges advocated self-immolation as a way to protest the Gaza genocide. In his latest demoralized screed, he transfers blame for the crimes of the Israeli-Zionist state and capitalist imperialism to the entire human race. Gaza, he proclaims, proves the futility of any belief in the possibility of human progress.
A Palestinian gave me a lecture about this and quite shamed me that my narrative is shifting blame on them, instead on the occupiers, but I think that I am too depressed not to blame everyone, including Palestinans. On the other hand, I was always a misanthrope and my political stances aren’t consistent and developed, so fuck my feelings.
