who are the peasants in Brazil he's speaking about? I'm Brazilian and didn't get it. the peasants in Brazil have an organized movement called Rural Labours Without Land (MST). They invade unproductive land and demand agrarian reform from the government. They are usually violently expelled by the police or farmers. I don't understand what he's talking about.

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. Jude 1:17-19

The recipe seems to be Mark Fisher's 'Capitalist Realism' and Chomsky's 'Manufacturing Consent'.

Just cannot listen to this man's waffle ,its true what some people say that he is controlled opposition,still advocates the the twin towers job was done bym a group of arabs with box cutters and that covid 19 was truly a deadly pandemic .........who is he tell us about false realities and propaganda when he is a vital and extremely pivotal part and parcel of it .?

Hmmm, a truly educated man who let fear and prejudice get the best of him during the pandemic. He wanted the unvaccinated segregated from society….

I have no Doubt that the People in Power are a bunch of Psychopaths!!!

It’s better to have No Hope than False Hope

hopelessness is propaganda.

I started with chomsky , as i had grown up i dropped him for michael parenti ...

Horrible, cheap microphone, but thanks for posting.

Yeah it always boggled my mind. How quick people are to yield and subject themselves to rulers. It's like today people say but we get schools, healthcare and whatever from government. I say so if I robbed your house and gave you 30% of what I stole back. You would find that acceptable? People are so brainwashed they can't even understand it's exactly what is going on.

"False History"???????????? F you Noam Chomsky. Your the MARXIST KNT SUPREME BEING of "FALSE HISTORY" you are a MARXIST history erase SCUM BEING SUPREME. 120++++ MILLION HUMAN BEINGS EXTERMINATED BY MARXISTS EXACTLY LIKE YOU. EXTERMINATED THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. DEATH BY " SOCIALISM".... FORCED LABOR STARVATION DISEASE DECADES OF THE ABOVE UNTOLD MILLIONS MILLIONS KILLED BY YOUR TWISTED MARXIST PSYCHOPATH SEMANTICS OF SOFT Sweet DEATH. BY A HOLES EXACTLY LIKE YOU. DEMOCIDE: murder in peacetime by your own government. SOCIALISM LAST CENTURY MURDERED MORE THAN ALL THE WARS AND GENOCIDES COMBINED IN FING PEACETIME.!!!!!!!

Yes, Democrats are homicidal maniacs. Ir's a death cult, and Noam Chomski is one of its chief architects.

What would Noam do if he could? Would he do what I would? I'd somehow rid congress of older people (over 60) because such older people tend to have been in politics or high echelon business so long that they have concluded that their own job security is really important, and probably lobbyists have got their talons well into them. I don't see why anyone should be allowed to have more than, say 10 years of elected federal office. And definitely while in office nobody should be allowed to earn any money beyond their office salary.

i hope the videographer/director in this video has improved over the years.

A lot of people in power forget history. The masses always end up taking back what's owed to them, even if it takes decades, hundreds of years.

A lot of working people are aware of their hopelessness and and ineffectiveness in not being able to change anyting what they lack in is having the knowledge on how to set it up and relate it to authorities and also one of the other things is others who are fearful of losing their job if they Rock the boat

Smartest man alive!

Great talk about human complacency, but, human complacency is driven by strong genetic forces that causes humans to do very stupid things. No easy problem to solve because humans are humans.

So sad to think that he gave this talk 10 years ago and highlighted all these things and nothing changed. It has only gotten worse in fact. The youth is even dumber and the media has even more control and power and spreading more lies and propaganda and misinformation and the youth are now swallowing it up faster than they can make TikTok videos. It seems we are all doomed sadly.

Shays rebellion was squashed by other common folk who were paid by the elites at the time.

Unfortunately, the fascists today won't be taken down by laughing at the them.

... You gotta be careful with the advice about " Overthrowing " the Government ... the MAGA crowd tried that in 2021, remember ... not ALL revolutions are for the better ! ... ☠

Spoken 10 years ago , More true Today !

David Hume was big. He was humongous.

CNN and MSNBC are going to Lie to the masses, and too many dumbasses will blindly believe them. Remember all those fools that thought Iraq had WMD's? It was all over lying Fox News. People even think that Biden won the 2020 election. They have no ability to think for themselves. Whatever the "news " declares is religious doctrine

Right now in April 2023 we have two examples of Democracy in action to learn from, France and Israel. Israelites took to the streets in historic numbers and were successful in getting an authoritarian ruler to back off. I don’t think it’s over yet but they certainly influenced the process. The French also are taking to the streets hoping to reverse a cutting of their pension benefits. They have been successful in the past. Americans are just too brainwashed and lazy. They have almost zero sense of civic engagement and don’t have what it takes to live up to their democratic responsibilities as citizens. Every step forward for regular working folks has been thru civil disobedience and decades of struggle. Our rights are being taken away.

I wonder if he would perhaps reconsider the idea of murderous powers in light of the pandemic, because his words from 1.50 absolutely reflect the social dislocation and paralysis caused by isolation, and the surrounding propaganda.

I have really been thinking about this sense of indoctrinated hopelessness that I encounter. I was just told by someone today that even though I was in a bad situation, I should just learn to accept it. Later today as well, someone encouraged me to remember the serenity prayer in order to accept things that I cannot change. But in fact, most things can be changed. I realized that the working class has been indoctrinated with a sense of ineffectualness and lack of internal locus of control and a driven in feeling that they cannot change the world around them. I do not accept this. If something sucks, go change it. You do not have to live in situations of torment and abuse. In fact, you should revolt against these situations in a pre-meditated, rational and planned way.

"Just take a look at what other people have done under much harsher conditions that you'll ever face."

"A very thin structure of power."

yikes. this didn't age well.

Chomsky has spent much of his life distancing himself from Karl Marx and Marxism. (Though he admits that he's sympathetic to aspects of both.) Yet his main position is based on an updating of the Marxist notion of "false consciousness". The ideas of "manufacturing consent" and the "mass media's false reality and history" are straight from Marx's playbook - almost without any change. That is, hundreds of millions of people are supposed to get "reality" all wrong. Yet and Chomsky (like Marx) has got it absolutely right. The arrogance of both Marxists and Chomsky is staggering.

"Power is always in the hands of the people ".

This isn't insight.

A live without our CREATOR leads to nothing, leads to dooming gloom - does even rational, critical thinking brings a turn for the better? What do we need? We need new ❤ Can we give ourself a new ❤? No!!! We need our CREATOR, to do it!

Chomsky is a dirty american comunist, a crazzy marxist , a traitor of Western civilization, a traitor of USA, a sick old polititian, a guy to forget... le comuniste menteur Chomsky le connard traitre des USA ...qui prefere les imperialismes ou comuniste chinois ou le terroriste islamique ou le staliniste Russe de Putin...horrible cécité...aveugle

Noam Chomsky wanted forced vaccinations and concentration camps over a virus with a 99 percent survival rate. Pepperidge Farm remembers

Well. Parliament got him to sign something, alright. His death warrant lol

We need more warriors .

I think if there was a revolution/ staning up agaisnt the goverment it would spread around the globe like the French revolution spread throughout europe! So please americans, make the first move, the rest of the world will follow

Hopelessness…yet there are human beings who sleep each night with bombs falling on them, with the fear of an enemy army or gang storming the village/town while they sleep, who don’t know if their shoes will be there when they wake up, who will never see a classroom, or never hold a smartphone, or post a selfie, or marry who they love, and on and on. Yet American youth have no hope…

Noam Noam the monotone... I was once taken but I won't be bitter. Mr self obsessed indicated, as usual...

When I meet people on the streets an if they happen to respect Noam, then I know we’re on track to becoming good friends ❤

10 years later and things are okay much, much worse. Hopeless is the right word. What revolution could fight against both the military and the police who would murder us all to uphold the status quo?

Stand strong young people against bogus corporate pseudo liberalism and cancel culture with its new racist agenda to divide the working class. Also, be aware that Chomsky is an Anarchist and believes in subverting all governments and nations, that is the ultimate goal of his teachings. You're not happy, you're hopeless and you need the know it all Chomsky to show you the way. He's a clown. A very wealthy clown.

All this being true, there absolutely has to be a give and take on some decided upon level if we can’t put space between each other. Otherwise we will revert back to a survival of the fittest situation with a “ Leviathan” in Thomas Hobbs fashion. Mob rule is no better. Abolitionist founder Benjamin Rush once said” If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.” That form of government to organize society that was given to us by the founders can not be improved on , but must be applied where moral thought is taught and accepted. They themselves failed to thoroughly apply them and we ended up in a civil war and today crime abounds as we try to force social experiments into our schools while blocking any moral learning calling it religious bigotry. We will get what we deserve good and hard.
