Close Captioned Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media | Documentary

[@fabiengerard8142]

Some 30 years ago, THAT VERY BOOK definitely changed both my worldview and the kind of personal 'software' running in my brain. I've never been the same man since then, and kept regularly following every subject published or lectured by such a most brilliant and lucid mind -- "the modern Socrates", as someone once defined him. Don't stop thinking, dearest Professor. We all need you more than ever. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏

Very interesting. I live in a so called democracy as well, but I can't remember one time where we as the public were asked to even give an opinion about the decisions that our government is making. Let alone to have the government present us with a list of reasons for a particular decision, and then have us decide to proceed or refrain from proceeding.

SUGGESTED READING: Manufacturing Consent: Changes in the Labor Process Under Monopoly Capitalism Michael Burawoy Since the 1930s, industrial sociologists have tried to answer the question, Why do workers not work harder? Michael Burawoy spent ten months as a machine operator in a Chicago factory trying to answer different but equally important questions: Why do workers work as hard as they do? Why do workers routinely consent to their own exploitation? Manufacturing Consent, the result of Burawoy’s research, combines rich ethnographical description with an original Marxist theory of the capitalist labor process. Manufacturing Consent is unique among studies of this kind because Burawoy has been able to analyze his own experiences in relation to those of Donald Roy, who studied the same factory thirty years earlier. Burawoy traces the technical, political, and ideological changes in factory life to the transformations of the market relations of the plant (it is now part of a multinational corporation) and to broader movements, since World War II, in industrial relations.

@@cooldotworld Will do. I made the "Disinformation Collection" Torrent collection of readings which is still available for download when I last checked. I collected this set of readings BEFORE the age of lies started and Trump was elected and although the latest one has a section called "Fake News", I couldn't keep up with the amount of writings on this subject. Needless to say, before the Hideous Age of Lies began, being familiar with the work of Chomsky helped me maintain the concept that the US was relatively enlightened because they at least allowed someone with a dissenting voice to not only live, but to promote and encourage them. I've been rather disillusioned in the last years, but he's the one figure I still look to for solace. The film you shared placed all the information I collected in context. For this I'm grateful.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a large part of this is emergent behavior, rather than an explicit conspiracy. A whole bunch of individuals at every level trying to manage their own little niche give rise to these patterns. The patterns are influinced by social mores, stories, mythology, and propaganda. Some are more ambitious in seeking their aims and the means are already unevenly distributed. Negative patterns of behavior become normalized in a rising power structure which is already antithetical to equality. Next thing you know, a peaceful nation is funding genocides around the world, manipulating markets, fighting proxy wars, dealing drugs and guns, exploiting its underclass, and destroying habitats for a quick profit. Little thought of the future or the consequences by the ignorant and greedy, that's someone else's problem. Systemic Inequality

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” ― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda

If we are not experiencing it all first hand, there is a window or a middle-man inbetween us and it. Either we are following teachers or scriptures, we are following just another feeling towards the same thing that we are experiencing ourselves right here in this now, in our slightly different but still same imperfect now. When learning any kind of passed down information no matter where on the spectrum of truth it is ranging, we are by doing so un-learning ourselves to put ourselves under & add on someone else's inner stance, which with time are going to make us, our inner being, into more of a copy than an actual self. Life is live, feel, learn and re-remember and the life we live is the teacher itself, where by living it we should be growing into living books of knowledge, if we actually live it for ourselves. We are both the teacher and the student, as we are both the observer and the one who project the whole moving picture that we see infront of us and dive into each new day when we open our eyes and the camera is again for us, rolling. We are all playing a lead-role in a meaningless story called life. Meaningless until we give it our meaning & then we are acting as each others mirrors as well, reflecting all that greatness but also the inner work which we are taught to just brush under the carpet. So really, we should be grateful for all interaction with life as there is a teacher in absolutely everything. When breaking it down, all we truly have is our energy and together with our energy all we truly need in this life is good health, good morals and a fine-tuned instrument, as in us, to express ourselves properly with, in order to free our minds. let the caged bird fly! Follow no one who wishes followers but the one's who encourage you to live your life for you and to walk your own path. Only by doing so we'll truly know who we are and what we are truly here for. We have it all already & we need no middle-men in order to stay connected to ourselves as we are that creators energy...we are it. We are all born out of it and we're given a slightly different perspective to take in the experience with for a reason. So not to fall for false light. Saying that though, we can not escape what we are not first aware of. We are all god's until it finds a way to change the mind. 💜

[@TheDoctor010]

I love his personality and seeming tolerance; but Chomsky seems to want to do away with property rights (now, actualizing his desire would require massive coercion and control). He also says that "any form of coercion and control requires justification." So, there are, in Chomsky's ideal world, a group that holds some immense power capable of taking away property and abolishing property rights. This is an incredible power (usually only seen in dictators, though Chomsky seems to want not one dictator, but a group of many dictators in the form of "workers"). But whoever it is that he wants to have this enormous power, he needs to justify it. As Biden would say, "The IDEA" that you think it's moral to abolish someone's right to property! In conclusion: The power and coercion to abolish property rights needs solid justification-and I see not an ounce of justification for it.

[@borninvincible]

Do you know what the difference between private and personal property is? Also, what's the last 3 books you read on communism, anarchism, or media propaganda?

[@TheDoctor010]

@@borninvincible I've got a vague notion of the terms. I'm not sure the U.S. constitution and communists completely agree on the definition of private property. The constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures: this has been applied to things like phones. houses, and land, among other things. I think communists say land is private property, but I don't know about phones (would the manufacturing plant that makes the phones be, according to communists, private property; and would the phones be personal property?). My thing is I'm not sure I agree there's a distinction between private and personal property. Perhaps drawing a distinction is merely a way communists, etc., talk about it because they want to be able to take some things away, and drawing a distinction can help them do that. It seems to me that it is just incorrect to think of them as different. I'd like to hear what you're idea of it is, along with what you think these other people think of it. You could probably teach me something along those lines. I've read "No Secret is Safe: Behind the Bamboo Curtain," by Mark Tennien, written in 1952. Other than that, I have the benefit of knowing about other nations (to give an example of how this type of knowing is useful, I'll use Jim Jones). I've never read a word he wrote, but I have the benefit of hindsight and therefore know that his values and principles amounted, in the real word, to horror. The proof is in the pudding. Likewise, I haven't read handfuls of books on communism. I've read something. And I have the benefit of hindsight to see it's horrible. I also have the benefit of current sight to see it's horrible. Communistic ideals is very likely responsible for more horror and bloodshed than any ideology in human history. Now this anarcho-syndicalist (I think that's it) that Chomsky was preaching is totally new to me. I had to look it up because I couldn't see how he what he was saying was really anarchism. It intrigued me quite a bit that he was using a term that I didn't have a clue about. I would prefer to listen to you about what this is. To me, it did seem to have strong hints of communism in it (mainly because of the property thing). And remember that I said he "seems" to want to do away with property rights. I've only just listened to him a couple of days ago and was quite fascinated by his character and personality. So I'm late to this Chomsky game, though I knew he existed. I would love to talk with you more about all this. I have no interest in a social media conversation that gets crazy. I exited social media because I did not find interactions edifying, and commenting on this media here is relatively new to me. I'm hoping that maybe I'll get lucky, because Chomsky seems like he would be easy to have a conversation with. Perhaps people here are as well. I doubt very seriously that you'll change my mind on anything. But that doesn't mean I can't learn something. Thank you for replying to my comment.
