Boondocks was correct- "end of america" ^_^

It’s such a relief to me That he was wrong /s

This is one If the wisest statement I have ever heard. People use our emotion against us.

Oh ya baby

I’m pretty sure (which is to say I’m certain) that the questioner is one John Stachel. He is about the same age as Chomsky, a few months older. He is a physicist and is also a quite well-known historian of science. In fact, he is the foremost authority on Albert Einstein‘s intellectual works and was the founding editor of the Einstein Papers Project, which see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_Papers_Project Some biographical info on Stachel here. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stachel Here is a link to a biographical talk that Stachel did some years ago. Obviously it’s the same voice and here too he discusses politics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHPYZX6Hjc6nmNUsi=jAN0s_5oQ1Bct-Ho The location and date is correct too. The description says Boston U, and this is Stachel’s institution.

Is beingthere as types concluded themes... A concerning speculation greatly overhung the verdict of modern reliances involved without circumstance particular investmens our just as sub directed from allocations and weightless benignmoral agenda

Timestamps?

I did not and would not vote for Obama if you paid me.

Damn Chomsky is cool. Good stuff.

I love Chomsky but he is completely wrong here… Obama fundraising was mainly from micro donations from people. They were the first to exploit massive internet fundraising. Chomsky is very cynical as smart as he is

Holy shit we're doomed.

Pick everything apart but provides no solutions. Unaccountable intellectual.

He seems to have predicted trump here. Almost as good as his Venezuela socialist utopia prediction 😂

He was a conservative, war mongering crypto-fascist.

No one tqlks about Obamas hard work to get to be a president. He worked reqlly hard his way up. Even if you have to seel your soul a bit. But he did it. Thays unfair to disqualified peoples privates journeys. Thats disinforming

Obama was a clear cut case of race politics. Beware of Blacks and Indians from India.

I stood in line in 2008 to vote for Obama because I was trying to believe that at least half of what he said in his campaign speeches was true. After a year of no hope and change despite having Democratic control in Congress for nearly a year I decided that I had been duped, again. I did not vote for him in 2012.

Isn’t this one of the guys who sent large amounts of money to Jeffrey Epstein bank account?

He’s right but he left out illegal immigration

Is that Barney Frank asking the questions of Chomsky?

This is why Obama was the worst Turncoat of modern time! He lied to all of us!

So right he is about things.

Yet the five-alarm fire fizzled and the sky never fell.

"Campaign managers are smart enough to read polls" the height of backhanded compliments 👌🏾

Cause he said he'll review 9/11 and fiscal heavens. He just wanted to hold the presidency not being The President. Awful

Epsteins buddy

Obama was the purest tool of capital. He's now sitting in Martha's Vineyard with tens of millions of dollars.

Exactly what happened!!!

Wow.

Watching this in 2022 and man, that first guy was spot on.

This is still one of the best Chomsky clips on the internet imo.

America was founded on EXAGGERATION..FREEDOM, BRAVERY, GUNS,

Chomsky, quit talking about my dad. Lol

"American elections are a facade....."

Here in 2021, I'm of course seeing the uncanny prediction for Trump, but I'm also worried the pattern will carry foward into the next interval.... If enough disillusioned Biden fans stay home from the polls in 2024, then an even angrier, nastier far-right GOP candidate will squeak out a win.

John was autistic before there was Autism

TWENTY TEN

i’ve never been a huge chomsky fan, as despite his evident intellect, i recognize his inherent biases. i am prone to bias as anyone; which is why i seek intellectual discourse that is unbiased, to better myself. this particular offering of his is actually very lacking in bias, and refreshingly objective.

Wow. So prescient.

This is gold

A BRILLIANT MAN, giving the PUBLIC the TRUTH. Unfortunately, the media and BIG MONEY lie and twist information to their own liking. WAKE UP AMERICA.

Nobody worried about the part.. America turning into a Hitler Germany.

This answer is clearly applicable to both parties in 2021. They both engage in the sort of hyperpartisan warfare

This guy has been wrong his whole life .. a complete self appointed expert on nothing.

Hallelujah. Oh ha ha ha. Hello Donald Trump.

Great response to the question.

The guy was a Prophet.

The problem was/is the people, not Obama. Americans, overall, are frightening consumer zombies chewing up everything, with their privileged and ignorant teeth, anything they come across.

all of this was about secularism, not humanism

This man is a thinker
