Hedges: On Being Disappeared.

I received no inquiry or notice from YouTube. I vanished. In totalitarian systems you exist, then you don’t. I suppose this was done in the name of censoring Russian propaganda, although I have a hard time seeing how a detailed discussion of “Ulysses” or the biographies of Susan Sontag and J. Robert Oppenheimer had any connection in the eyes of the most obtuse censors in Silicon Valley with Vladimir Putin. Indeed, there is not one show that dealt with Russia.

I don’t  agree with Hedges on everything — I certainly don”t support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel — but I don’t think he should be canceled.

  1. Only ignorance can excuse those who don't support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
