EXPOSING CAPITALISM'S MULTITUDE OF VICES AND INCURABLE PROBLEMS—
FROM INGRAINED RACISM, COLONIALISM, & TERRIBLE ECONOMIC CRISES & EXPLOITATION, TO ENDLESS WARS

Museums: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)


LastWeekTonight / Oct 3, 2022

John Oliver discusses some of the world’s most prestigious museums, why they contain so many stolen goods, the market that continues to illegally trade antiquities, and a pretty solid blueprint for revenge.

We don't always approve of John Oliver's analyses. As a man of the establishment, he, more often than not, despite his obvious decent streak, can be found mouthing verities that benefit the global imperial status quo. However, like many liberals, he can also be quite effective at analysing glaring problems of capitalism that do not quite threaten the status quo. Call it the reformist impulse. This is one such instance, and the information is certainly welcome.
