Broadly I agree with this, but Hedges (as per usual) is a bit too soft. We’re not entering a dark age, the entire twentieth century has been one, and those before it. The Second Congo War killed millions and nobody gave a shit. There’s nothing new or unique about the horrors of Gaza unfortunately, it just lays bare the world for more folks who are paying attention.
