This speech by Chris Hedges, in Santa Cruz on November 2014, finds him in rare form, and is perhaps one of his best. If you are an activist (or even not), and you find yourself looking around at the Democratic-Republic facade crumbling around you and the rest of us, and get discouraged - view this. You'll be reminded in a hurry as to why the fight is worth the effort - even if we don't win (as far as the courts of public opinion and otherwise are concerned), the key is to RESIST.
This man talks the talk, but he also walks the walk, having been arrested several times for protesting and having been booed off the stage at a college commencement for having the temerity (read: courage) to speak out against the Iraq war.
Check it out.
