Krystal Kyle & Friends | Chris Hedges on American Fascism
I recently joined Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski to discuss the rise of American fascism under the Trump administration, and how it compares to previous iterations of fascism in Europe.
I’m following the dire prognostications about fascism in the US, and the world, with horror. My survival instinct prompts me to wonder: What effect might the internet have on the ability of the people to communicate and help defend themselves? Of course the threat of Digital ID/Currency is a product of that same technology, but I suggest the more clever among us get to work on counter-tech, which is all within the grasp of any kid with a computer.
We need more Snowdons, more Assanges.
Remember, the camera on your spY-Phone points in two directions.
I live in NZ, emigrated here from BC Canada as a boy of 14 in 1965...so it is good to get the real news from N. America....thanks! Nothing surprises me about what those incredibly dumb but equally self-worshipping American evangelical Christian 'god-botherers' will believe in....young Mormons used to come up to the Cariboo country in BC when I was a kid, to try and "Save Our Souls for Jesus."...I have never forgotten how rude and intrusive they were!!!
