Free Palestine. Stop the genocide 🇵🇸

Still big message for 2024 MLK in my ❤❤❤❤❤

"If you can criticize the media as being too far to the left, that's terrific, because that means that their subservience to power is already regarded as too much of a deviation." Now there's something to chew on for a while.

Dr.King knew it as it was. His. heart was full of love. He saw the good.Blessings always.

I wasn’t sure if I would agree with you. But this time I do in much of what said

But Noam, they ARE poor simpletons! That's why we get people like Trump! Or W. ! Now we have 50/50 elections that can be determined by the throw of a coin. Democracy is just an illusion. Listen to voters talk about policy or candidates. They're morons. And what's the point of watching the efforts of one administration dismantled every four years by another. No wonder nothing changes for the better. I don't know what the solution is, but a third or fourth party will just confuse an already stagnant situation.

*“My quarrel with Chomsky goes back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s, where he more or less openly represented the "Serbian Socialist Party" (actually the national-socialist and expansionist dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic) as the victim. Many of us are proud of having helped organize to prevent the slaughter and deportation of Europe's oldest and largest and most tolerant Muslim minority, in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Kosovo. But at that time, when they were real, Chomsky wasn't apparently interested in Muslim grievances. He only became a voice for that when the Taliban and Al Qaeda needed to be represented in their turn as the victims of a "silent genocide" in Afghanistan. Let me put it like this, if a supposed scholar takes the Christian-Orthodox side when it is the aggressor, and then switches to taking the "Muslim" side when Muslims commit mass murder, I think that there is something very nasty going on. And yes, I don't think it is exaggerated to describe that nastiness as "anti-American" when the power that stops and punishes both aggressions is the United States.”* *― Christopher Hitchens*

Chumpsky talks in circles.

Marathan evolved into Snickers 😊

Almost everything he says is significant and interesting. He doesn’t waste time with frivolity.

He gave me the intellectual confidence to keep thinking and saying what I already, kind of, thought.

The Article of Association is also aN INTERESTING and by far the most IMPORTANT DOCUMENT !!! COMPANY'S SECRET ... !

we went out to see them tonight. Great show. Many new members but spot on in every way.

Thank you for this very truthful discussion which I hope many people will watch.

Chomsky was so incredibly prescient….it boggles my mind! I used to think I understood what he was saying, but I did not quite understand

We’re the Dudley Do Rights as we were indoctrinated to think. Andy Kaufmans voice, “ Here I come to save the daaay!”

An existential dance of yen-yin wrapped in politics all about degrees of difference. How long ago was this interview? It seems we’ve mobilized with cooler minds of late.on social media and its growth and influence in 2024.

Christian Zionists? Zionism is a political movement based on a supremacist, nationalist and racist idea. This goes totally against Christian values of respect for human dignity, solidarity, brotherhood and forgiveness.

He was 62 here. Isn't that crazy?

Preach Dr. King

He’s predicting the power of leftist podcasts (talking about radio stations that are listener supported.) They have become a huge challenge to corporate press manufacturing consent right now, particularly on Israel/Palestine.

If you only listened to the first ten minutes of this you'd think Chomsky was sad the US isn't genuinely democratic.

Look up multi-polar traps. It applies to a lot of what he talks about and also our own lives. And once you understand them they are all over the place

Ilan Pappe is just GREAT❤

Russia figured out how to combat the US empire, China too. They incorporated the so-called free markets but under the tight control of the state, Putin's party in Russia and the Communist party in China, brought over the best aspects of global Western culture (food, entertainment, technology, business practices, etc) and, crucially, adopted Western approaches to propaganda. They have their own "democracies" over there and their own ways of subtly shaping public opinion, not through totalitarian means, but rather, as Chomsky says, by controlling the range of acceptable opinion. Both of these countries kicked out Western NGOs, but they've allowed aspects of Western culture and even pro-Western discourse remain, but all outnumbered and overpowered by their own local institutions. In Russia much of this has happened in recent years, accelerated by the Ukraine war which has been a very successful propaganda coup for Putin (it prevented capital flight, brought Russian oligarchs under state control, and reinforced public support for the state due to effectively managed patriotic propaganda). And just like that, Western soft power is dead. Russia and China won by beating the Americans at their own game. Now, thanks to recent events, and partly due to the stupidity of Western politicians, both of these countries have become effectively sanctions-proof. They're doing Liberalism better than the West now and, as a result, Western hegemony is on the decline.

What an utter fountain of cynicism and conspiracy thinking.

I think it's one of the most interesting interviews I've ever seeen. Chomsky's way of explaining things just make so much sense to me. Thanks for sharing

This is amazing

What would have been an alternative way to prevent the Vietcong from taking over the country?

He's been contradicting himself for the last 35 years, especially after talking negatively about the military industrial complex only to have your early work paid for by the military industrial complex.

This is awesome

He just summed up the whole world politics..

One of America's enemies

Humans are inherently competitive and most people are followers who want to follow someone.

Very sorry noam it's the manchester guardian

How sad that this can still be applied in 2024 during the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Comment for the algo

Thank you for sharing

Boycott pret

Anyone have the link to the full interview?

And just like that they knew they had to take him out

Never judge a book by its cover.

Great segment to post! TY

11:00 thank you sir, you really knew what really happened and you're not fooled by Hollyshit white heroes

10:30 A major terrorist state, an expansionist and aggressive power. 10:48 US Aid highly correlated with torture.

I always come back to Barry's words in times of hopelessness. A true testament to the best of humanity, indominatable in his pursuit of justice for the unheard. May we all be a little more like Barry Crimmins, may we all have the compassion to really listen and care.

Fantastic man, thank you Noam.

Choamsky helped unveil the rot for many generations of people. I will be forever grateful for his works.

It is interesting to do an assessment of our world as best we can now, 34 years after this interview. The West still tries to indoctrinate we the masses with assumptions. But the West now has to openly jail dissidents and whistle blowers, criminalize protests and overtly suppress the exchange of ideas. I wonder at the reasons Western power behaves this way now. I guess at three reasons. First, Capitalism has run out of wealth it can pirate from former colonies and from the masses within the West. This erodes the core comfort that kept us from the teeth that chomped on us. We masses could accept the indoctrination in part because we were comfortable in the wealth that was allowed to spill down to us. Comfort bringing its own set of assumptions. Now that's gone. Now Western elites through their goons slowly have become more ham fisted with no end in sight to their growing anger and out lashing against Western masses. Second, we are so over exposed to modes of indoctrination that we are at best awake to it. At worst we ignore it. The indoctrination gives us no tangible benefit. Also, the indoctrination no longer matches our experience now that the Western world has become so culturally mixed. Also the world beyond our familiar walls is to a significant degree opened to us through digital media. Digital media has made the facts and realities rest of the world accessible. Accessibility through digital media opens the third change. We can exchange ideas with most people, most places, learn and organize. Which brings out the ham fist of the elites, the oligarchs of the West.
