A video essay on America's current problems. A wide-ranging but concise critique of how America is run by a financial and corporatist elite. It's also about how our national myths (e.g., American Exceptionalism) are used to sugar-coat and justify imperial war abroad, political repression at home, and economic exploitation everywhere.
Beneath the piece's Doomsday tone and style is a cogent, left-of-center critique of our current system.
Plus a few words by me on this unhappy election season.
