Jimmy Dore and Chris Hedges discuss the capitalist/imperialist disease eating the world alive today in all its manifestations: wars and runaway corruption; ecocide in plain daylight, the plotting of nuclear wars right under our noses, plus the consequent liberal betrayals (including the sheepdogging of figures like Bernie Sanders); the absence of a real left, the stunning (and unchallenged) cynicism and hypocrisy of the US political elites, the vile servility of the (largely) upper middle-class media personnel, and the coming corporatist repression.
