THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast Ep. 174: The Crisis of Legitimacy w/ Doug Lain

All institutions in America post COVID seem to draw nothing but disdain and distrust from the public. Has America come to a point where belief in these formerly trusted institutions are passe? In the wake of the pandemic and the recent Afghanistan debacle, has the American ruling class lost the capacity to secure the faith of the American people?

What does this mean for the contemporary left.
