Text Quotes
Jesus was a pacifist  (Chris Hedges Quotes) Positive psychology is to the corporate state what eugenics was to the Nazis  (Chris Hedges Quotes) War is not about flag-waving and patriotism. War is about killing and death.  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The failure to dissect the cause of war leaves us open for the next installment  (Chris Hedges Quotes) In war, we always deform ourselves, our essence  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The arts often realize human truths well before other branches of human endeavor  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid. Fear stops us from objecting to government spending on a bloated military. Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock  (Chris Hedges Quotes) We live in imaginary, virtual worlds created by corporations that profit from our deception  (Chris Hedges Quotes) War is addictive. Indeed, it is the most potent narcotic unleashed by mankind  (Chris Hedges Quotes) There are always people willing to commit unspeakable human atrocity in exchange for a little power and privilege  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The moral nihilism of celebrity culture is played out on reality television shows, most of which encourage a dark voyeurism into other people's humiliation, pain, weakness, and betrayal  (Chris Hedges Quotes) A society without the means to detect lies and theft soon squanders its liberty and freedom  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug  (Chris Hedges Quotes) The media propagates a message that corporations want, and there’s a belittling and mocking of the poor and celebration of wealth. A kind of cutthroat, rapacious capitalism is celebrated on reality television shows where you betray and manipulate and push aside your competitors for fleeting fame and money. These are sick values, but they’re disseminated through corporate media in almost every program you watch  (Chris Hedges Quotes)
