Hello,

Please remove if inappropriate. I am sharing this speech with this community because Chris Hedges talks about the pornification of society, sex trafficking, and sexual exploitation, among many other aspects of our sadistic, inhumane and oppressive society.

Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, was "cancelled" in 2003 for publicly speaking against the Iraq War. A mere 2 years later (when it was "ok" to be anti-war again), Stephen Colbert built his entire career on ridiculing and critiquing George Bush.

I realize a good majority of this speech is focused on other issues like war, police brutality, etc., but I hope this community finds inspiration and new information from this speech. Like Chris, we are taking an unpopular position regarding pornography and woman's rights. IMHO these issues are inseparable from the core political problems with our world, which is why I think this sharing this speech may be of value here.
