-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

He’s an anticommunist
who I’ve never heard call for socialism, but he’s still somehow outside the Overton window.
Hedges is pretty much the only reason I know TRNN exists.
Hedges is a Christian Socialist, his idea of a Socialist revolution is for a whole lot of martyrs to die lol, very Idealist. I remember he did a panel on Lenin, during a LeftForum panel, with others including Richard Wolff, the majority of Panelist were positive about Lenin and the Russian Revolution, but Hedges was absolutely on Lenin and the Russian Revolution.
Hedges can be a clown, I first came aware of him during the Occupy movement, he wrote a very lib article about "violence/antifa" destroying the occupy movement. The funniest part of the article was that he equated swearing at cops a form of violence lol.
What kind of Christian Socialist? The liberal ones? these are known to definitely be idealistic pacifists. (sorry im from brazil i lack a lot of knowledge about american politics)
you're good, american politics doesn't know anything about christian socialists either.
