Chris Hedges is one of the few mainstream public intellectuals with any grasp on reality.
i hate purported 'news' articles that are worded to be manipulative instead of informative.
this article is nothing more than another MINITRU propaganda piece -

good. without the US economy most of the worlds economies will collapse. regardless of the economic blocs that have formed up in the last decade or two the american economy is vital to their function, even without the petro dollar influence. -
2018-09-07 at 3:55 AM UTCkinda sad that the bar is so low for public discourse that a pederast marxist seems pretty sane. the saving grace for these types is that they're against the neo-liberal order of "invade the world, invite the world". anyone that doesn't have their head stuck up their ass or getting paid by the chamber of commerce can tell that the american worker is getting fucked, real wage levels haven't risen appreciably in decades and home ownership seems more like a ponzi scheme than an investment in your future. unfortunately these people are still inherently as insufferable as the rest when you suggest what really needs to be done to fix things.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

First-world countries that are build on the 'speculation' economy are going to eat a lot of shit and China's going to have to scale back production at least temporarily, but it won't be catastrophic.
I think the real question is what alternatives there are to oil, because many of today's biggest sources have passed their peak output and it's going to be very expensive to maintain current consumption levels without someone pushing prices down -

I thought that there was still tons of untapped oil that we haven't really touched because of regulations and hyperventilating liberals that at the same time warn about the impending end of oil. -

thats a lie and thats what they want you to believe to keep the price high.
what they didnt tell you is that this planet is alive and every day billions of tons of new oil are being generated deep beneath its crust just as feceses are being generated in your gutts. -
2018-09-08 at 5:10 AM UTCOk I read it and it was a pretty dynamic article for McLeans, maybe I should be reading it in doctors offices instead of on my phone.
He just answers questions kind of in bullet points without a lot of expansion. Infering the dollar won't be the reserve currency without any foundation is pretty bold. He's speculating that OPEC will collapse and make the dollar crumble I assume. It will definitely rebound because seriously what the fuck else is the world going to use? Euros have been losing value since their creation and no one really knows the value of chinkbux they're so artificially manipulated.
Also, he rails on the Democratic party like a 3 toothed Alabama tea partier. Chuck and Nancy don t "control the money" the Democratic party has donors going back a century. Bill clinton did bring the party a little farther to the right but he didn't remake it. A way bigger remake was from center right to far left with fdr. Mondale was farther left than Clinton good observation genius. There was no mention of the dodd frank act and Naomi Klein is terrible. I believe she means well but she's Canada's Ariana Huffington. Also Richmond bc is not going to become the biggest Chinese speaking place outside of China. I know people who ship stuff there literally to be sent to China and they deal with white people. It's a small place too he must have just come from there and was shocked at the chink behind the counter in Timmys.
The book might be good or it might just be a bunch of blurbs about this guys opinions, which is all anything is really. Maybe he'll make a name for himself and be the next Jordan Peterson that millenials have wet dreams about him being their stern yet understanding fatherThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
