"DeProgram" co-hosts Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas host a birthday Q&A that covers capitalism’s inherent incompatibility with democracy due to money in politics, the reasons for Nixon’s gold standard exit in 1973 and inflation as a hidden tax, war lies from Lincoln to Trump, and a lack of consequences for warmongers. They discuss oligarchy versus republic, the need for public consent for wars, the Red Power Movement , post-scarcity utopias versus endless greed, Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Stargate as empire metaphors, Trump’s Canada demands, and Google’s map changes (Lake America) as tacit U.S. policy endorsement.
