A new open letter signed by prominent pundits and intellectuals warns of a growing problem with cancel culture. The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discusses how many of its prominent signatories have spent their careers trying to silence dissenting voices on critical issues such as Israel-Palestine and Syria. They are also part of a growing establishment "hyper-liberal" cancel culture that elevates identitarian issues at the expense of class ones; promotes reactionary projects like Russiagate by co-opting righteous causes; and supports the cancelation of foreign countries via aggressive U.S. foreign policy.
Guest: Max Blumenthal, editor of The Grayzone and author of "The Management of Savagery."
