Chris hedges provides an analysis of the psychopathology of contemporary America and how this dystopia eventually drives many citizens to despair and disillusionment with the current system. Note: The beginning focuses on Michale Jackson as he uses it as a parallel, then he progresses onto wall street, banksters and the corporate state, lost jobs never coming back, etc., etc.

I thought it was well done, so just passing along if not yet seen.
