    What Chris Hedges and Matt Christman and other lefty journalists view as revolutionary activity is little more than entertainment, no matter how self-referential it becomes on this subject. I don’t see it as raising consciousness but co-opting rising consciousness for a grift. Christman just wowed us by explaining he was grifting us. I don’t see anything particularly groundbreaking about Debord or Fisher apart from their ability to stretch ideas (Debord seems to think media criticism is the most important thing ever invented ISTFG), and a lot of people have criticized how leftists who forego better material for it are just doing advanced media criticism and navel gazing.

    Hedges is more like the old guard of lefty journalism that spends all its time worship their celebrities like Daniel Ellsberg (a blatant fed to the point of almost admitting it frequently) and Noam Chomsky (who is Chomsky™️ the premier brand for people who think the US is doing radlibs a favor by letting them speak and is better than nasty authoritarian countries, and just like Coca Cola even people who think they don’t agree with the branding drink it up). I’m not saying he’s also jokerpilled. I’m saying the jokerpill’s not as wacky or new as it seems.
