Noam Chomsky FULL INTERVIEW: on Ukraine, Brexit and “the most dangerous time in world history”

Noam Chomsky: “We’re approaching the most dangerous point in human history”
US professor, Noam Chomsky now 93, joins George Eaton to discuss the Ukraine Russia War, the climate catastrophe, Keir Starmer's Labour Party, Brexit, and much more.
“It’s monstrous for Ukraine,” he said. In common with many Jews, Noam Chomsky has a family connection to the region: his father was born in present-day Ukraine and emigrated to the US in 1913 to avoid serving in the tsarist army; his mother was born in Belarus. Chomsky, who is often accused by critics of refusing to condemn any anti-Western government, unhesitatingly denounced Vladimir Putin’s “criminal aggression”.
Noam Chomsky is also still engaged by British politics. “Brexit was a very serious error, it means that Britain will be compelled to drift even further into subordination to the US,” he told me. “I think it’s a disaster. What does it mean for the Conservative Party? I imagine they can lie their way out of it, they’re doing a good job of lying about a lot of things and getting away with it.”

[@anjaoldnettle2841]

More in detail: Thomas Tennhardt, Director of NABU for International Affairs. Above all, Ukraine is characterized by steppe ecosystems, of which the country has the most in all of Europe. Of these, over 60% have currently suffered severe damage. In addition, it is about the wetlands on the Azov Sea and the Black Sea coast. These are among the most important in the world, 14 of which have already been destroyed. There was one of the rare colonies of Dalmatian pelicans there. Colonies of sandwich terns with up to 60,000 breeding pairs or 3,000 breeding pairs of fish gulls could also be found there. "We have to assume that they were completely destroyed," Tennhardt fears.

Excerpting Orwell's _Why I Write_ : "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism... And the more one is conscious of one’s political bias, the more chance one has of acting politically without sacrificing one’s aesthetic and intellectual integrity... When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing." ...you got you hearing, George.

According to them, NATO is responsible for the conflict, Ukrainians cannot decide for themselves, and a buffer state must be created from their homeland. In this way, part of the Western left went morally and factually bankrupt, to the applause of an equally ignorant public, vide the comments under the video.

He’s smarter than most of the humans that have lived on this planet.

[@reidwhitton6248]

Apples and oranges. People in their 30s are caught on the hamster wheel of survival. If we want to have a future for humanity it's going to be up to the people under 30 to get involved politically and make their voices heard. Otherwise the big corporations will continue to corrupt the politicians and drive the insane policies that are destroying the planet. Don't support political candidates taking corporate money. We've been choosing the so called lesser of two evils for decades and it's gotten us nowhere.

Part of the main problem is that younger university graduates are self entitled and spoiled, and have minimal concepts of reality

[@aus-li]

@@sylviaowega3839 What is your interpretation of the deeper context of “reality”?

[@sylviaowega3839]

@@aus-li There are certainly many deeper and more complex issues, that predicate the deterioration and downfall of America. Some is the arrogance of being such a rich and powerful country, much of it has to do with moral degeneracy and the decline of moral abs family values, self entitled, citizens being spoiled by the riches and comforts, the decline of religion (yes religion has help keep the integrity of many human civilizations), and people not getting used to working hard

Great interview, as more I listen to Mr. Noam Chomsky more I realize that humanity needs a resource-based economy written by Jacque Fresco.

[@noahedelson3618]

wait, big fan of Chomsky- but that sounds like crazy talk to me. The fault is mine, probably. RBE = dependent on oil, lumber, etc for GDP? Qatar and Iran recently said they are running out of oil. Peak oil might be asymptotic..llike y=tan(-x) and besides, its dirty. What am I missing?

[@arielverse]

This is the most vital interview of modern times. Thank you.

[@kirstaevans7945]

With the US "free press" why did I have to stumble across this perspective via my sister's six minute video about how to make your own soy yogurt? Our press is becoming a joke! Noam Chomsky has been one of our greatest minds for decades. Why aren't more journalists talking to him?

[@tiemiahu9947]

I found the interviewer to be very painful to listen to, particularly his voice and tactless questioning, and I reckon he was getting to Noam as well, i.e. "I don't understand the question", but ever the softly spoken gentleman he is, continued to talk and share his great knowledge and wisdom with those of us that are lucky enough to hear... (spread the word)

[@monikakratochwill3460]

I agree with you “the interviewer was painful” Chomsky kept going! Thank you- you are so wise -

[@eurongreyjoy2]

The threats to peace at the moment are many. Extinctions abound? Thank you for continuing to speak up Noam

[@michigandersea3485]

Extinctions abound. The world is nearing the most dangerous time in world history--the time, pretty soon now, when Noam Chomsky goes extinct.

[@dinamirijanian6820]

"we prefer to talk about other things, but that is the overriding concern". So the guy goes on to ask him a question on an unrelated topic instead of continuing to talk about what he said was "the overriding concern".

[@michigandersea3485]

Chomsky's doomerism is about his own death. He's depressed because he's going to die soon. Every single thing the man has said in the past few years has been doom-laden. Those of us who are not planning to die anytime soon need to be positive and hopeful, even in the face of threats.

If you take as given the fact that human activity (especially consumer materialistic culture driven by over population) is contributing greatly to climate change then wouldn’t the planet be better off with human extinction. This is the element to which the extinction rebellion has not considered. Question as to whether the multitude of other species deserve the benefit from our demise?

Not as long as the majority imagine that politicians, in any way, call the shots. The mother of stupid is always pregnant, thanks mostly to mass-organised "education," now honed to an almost perfect science, that results in self-alienation, and perpetual infantilisation.

Amazing that his father was Ukrainian. Chomsky, yeah.

[@roberthiggins6401]

A lot of what he said I agree with but there's several things I had no idea about. And it's shocking!! What's it all come down to? Self importance and greed of the government's and mega wealth. I'm in the UK and I'm really worried that our MRS just don't see or understand and they only think about themselves. None of the parties care about the people and democracy is long forgotten. In not Russian I'm not a supporter of Putin but I can well understand his grievance. I don't like one bit that America always has the final say even in Europe and why they have to rock the boat.

Good points on a path to settlement in Ukraine. But where does Ukraine draw the line between giving up chunks of its country and appeasing a ruthless dictator?

[@roudys]

Life abounds with paradox. I live right next to a superpower and it has interrupted not a moment of sleep. Had at a time I lived in Japan, Korea, Vietnam or Iraq to be gravely afraid of America, as an average citizen, would have been a rational. Right now, to be worried about nuclear war seems reasonable while at the same time to sit idly by and watch our Ukrainian brothers and sisters slaughtered seems irresponsible. In myself, I donated to the Red Cross in an attempt to reconcile this paradox/conflict. I wish it were that easy to fix all this…

[@fionuala7]

What makes it extra complex is that 7.5 million Russians live in Ukraine..a Northern Ireland situation on top of everything. Two million Ukrainians in Russia, how does one know which is which..I am sure they both have similar DNA..I would not be able to distinguish one from another...blood brothers probably

[@georgefurman4371]

What is absolutely a horrible situation equivalent to desperation on my part. Is to realize the immense level of deceit and blindness on the part of both the intellectuality , the political class with knowledge of the real interest prevailing in circles of power, and the American voters in downplaying until this day the existential threat that the GOP, the establishment politicians , the MIC corporations and wealthy corrupt to keep waging war at will and unrestricted since the economy became dependent on war. No doubt Trotsky was accurate when said that the productive forces were becoming destructive forces"
