Whatever you think of Dore, he at least packs a lot of good pro-worker, anti-war points into his alloted time, exposing a large US audience to some sanity.

Agree. He was good in the first 10 min that I saw. Quite fiery. Also Christian Parenti's (article etc.) was mentioned in the beginning for obvious reasons i.e. woke culture show that Dore aired.
On the tail of that, I was tickled to bits that Fink, of the Blackrock, is firmly pro-trans. Interesting hehe
Dore on great form here, thx for posting. Good to see him insist that people shouldn't blame immigrants themselves, but that they're being used to undermine union organising (1:19:15). Probably the only person who will make that point to Carlson's audience, and important to counter the fearmongering that they're all criminals, rapists or terrorists sent or let in to destroy America. Both still viewing climate change as merely an establishment plot and refusing to speak to actual climate scientists to get to grips with the reality of the situation we're in (1:58:10), and I thought the vaccine/autism connection had been debunked decades ago, and just because more people are 'open' to hearing about it (per Carlson, from 1:44.52) doesn't make it true. Other than that and some of the debatable covid stuff it was all on the money IMO, and reminded me of why I like Dore and first started listening to him.
Dore is anti-science, as opposed to anti-scientist, anti-media-hype-of-science, anti-some-of-the-mistakes-of-applied-science, etc. There is no nuance, he is hard core anti-science.
Its ignorant, and I feel cynical about his motives for this (since he is a very smart guy) but its not my mission to tell people what they should think. If that is the view he wants to own, then he owns it. Everything else they talked about (media, imperialism, the democratic party, etc) was riveting and was worth the time spent listening.
