I am ashamed of being from this horrible country. We are the monsters. Anyone who can’t see that is just fooling themselves. America is disgusting and corrupt. We are all complicit.
As usual I learned a lot I didn’t know about who’s pulling the strings to keep their murderous greedy hearts protected at the expense of innocents. The courage of this artist and people like yourself that refuse to be silenced in the face of tyranny is a light in the corrupt darkness. I don’t hate either the Palestinians or the Israelis but I do hate what Israel is doing to Palestine and know in my heart of hearts they are wrong.
The apartheid regime of Israel is grotesque and illegal for all the world to see. So why do the Palestinians not receive the empathy and support that we see towards Ukrainians? Maybe Palestinians should fly the Ukrainian flag to be seen. There comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says don’t you see…
The Jews who escaped from Nazism have become Nazis themselves and the prevailing powers accept this. I am certainly not an antisemitist. pasodoxically my Jewish idols were German: Rosa Luxemburg, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Schoenberg, Else Lasker-Schueler. Karl Kraus.
Hip-hop disagrees with me, but I will defend the hip-hopster's right to hip-hop...not all the way to the death but probably to the point of a sprained ankle.

There has been a shift in your rhetorical approach since the publication, I Don’t Believe in Atheists. What made that work inspiring is that it empathized with the atheistic position to the point where that position revealed its own apologetics.
Your preoccupation with the treatment of your own material by platforms like YouTube hinges on a much less challenging approach of appearing to suffer on behalf of those who hold politically provocative points of view. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with that; it’s just very commonplace.
Imagine that everything you say about YouTube, the Israelis, the government which would try Assange, etc., is true. In other words, imagine a world where Hedges holds the sword and scepter. Would you hedge out the ignorant for their ignorance as they do to you and/or those whom you champion? This is what the new Hedges appears to do.
The Golden Rule is not the Lex Talonis. That is, it’s focal point is in the modals, not the pronouns. Peace.
Lowkey clearly demonstrates his command of events, names and places. He is a power of ONE! People I speak with, even many who are somewhat awakened to the continued madness, still blame certain individuals. YT is rife with this, as are many so-called social media platforms. Until folks begin to realize it is *the economic system of capitalism* that has enshrined personal greed through profit and private property, little will change. Lowkey shows us the system is the sickness, to steal a current book title from Richard D. Wolff.

I found this a very moving interview, one of Chris' best.
Never heard of Lowkey before. Thanks for the introduction; his music is brilliant! (And so are his politics.)

"Republicans" love their Cancel Culture
as much as they love their Profiteering
but hide it behind Projections of victim-
hood and Half the Electorate eats it up.
As usual, thank you Chris for your work.
Chris, I paid my $55 but was unable to access your website unless I paid it again, or clicked the "free" icon. Would you correct this?

Is this almost cancellation of Lowkey unfair to "him" or to Jewish students who were told to segregate themselves: https://www.thejc.com/news/news/call-for-antisemitism-probe-into-nus-over-%27self-segregate%27-plan-for-jews-at-rapper-lowkey-gig-3tCYkoHVvKujIkCyg7vFaP
Is Lowkey being unfairly cancelled? What exactly is the content of his speech. https://www.thejc.com/lets-talk/all/pro-palestinian-activism-doesnt-excuse-antisemitism-86S3GuEptdQ8OVT8enSLr
