      Except he utterly failed to mention that the democrat party - in retaliation to the Republican party - had to create their own voting base. They play very dirty identity politics - BIG TIME. To the democrats, the African American community is just one giant monolithic group - same with the Latinos, the LGBT group, the pro-choice group; the anti-gun group. They too make promises that they never keep by pretending to care about the cultural issues they rally about because if they fix what's broken, they lose their identity groups and hence the votes. They herd them all into giant pens and -abracadabra - they have ensured millions of votes. Do you honestly think THEY care about these people any more or any less than the Republicans care about the pro-life groups that they rallied to their side? It's the game of politics - left and right. When he talked about the democrats, he failed to mention this very important, very real point.

      Chomsky's erudition is indeed impressive, but he obviously spends little time on the US and European social media reading tons of LIES spewed by the bazillions of Russian bots. The West is in state of HYBRID WAR with Russia (and China for that matter), and he is talking about "anything very serious about Russian interference" 7:04, while immediately contradicting himself by saying that "it's undetectable" 7:07.
      How can he insist that it is not serious if he can't even detect what he's talking about? Just unbelievable...

      @@nostradamus9608 The West is in a "hybrid war" with every other country in the World, including each other, just like every other country is in a "hybrid war" with each other. It has always been this way. Russia and China are in no way unusual.
      The idea that "hybrid war" is something that Putin's Russia has invented is ridiculous, and the media should've called bullshit on it, when it was presented to them by Western governments. The US has had "hybrid war" operations in hundreds, if not thousands, of small and large conflicts, since the American Revolution. The British Empire was master of hybrid war. Everyone has been doing it since the Renaissance, at least. There are good arguments that it was done before that, as well, though there was a slightly greater tendency to go directly to open war. Only slightly, mind you. Why fight openly, if you can get what you want through manipulation?
      The US long supported the "civil society" of Ukraine with money and resources far beyond what it takes to rent some offices, buy some supplies, and publish some pamphlets, during a period when several presidents have been ousted by paid demonstrators. This last time, there's no evidence of direct payment to demonstrators, but the groundwork had been laid over years. US congressmen then went to Ukraine, to support the unconstitutional overthrow of a democratically elected president, less than one year before the next legal election. The putsch government had to unconstitutionally fire judges in the Constitutional Court, in order to get a Constitutional Court that would approve the putsch and the firing of members of the Constitutional Court. The whole thing was borderline comedic, and the disinterest of Western media shows how extreme conformity causes them to function like a propaganda machine. The long term goal, which was achieved, though in a sub-optimal way, was to prevent Ukraine from gravitating towards Russia, which would've happened through a trade deal that was being completed at the time. Now, this is hybrid war!
      The "bazillions of Russian bots" aren't a major problem. In my experience, for every Russian bot, there's a multitude of idiots accusing everyone who disagrees with them of being "Russian bots" or "Russian trolls". In fact, I can't confirm the existence of a single Russian bot or troll, but I can confirm the existence of countless idiot accusers. I don't doubt that there are Russian bots and trolls, though, just like there are Chinese, US, British, French, Saudi Arabian, etc..
      In order for there to be 'interference', something must be interfered with; there must be an effect. Mere attempts don't constitute interference. The effect of any interference by Russia is too small to be statistically detectable; thus, it's undetectable. If it was large, it would be statistically detectable. The effect of political donations is detectable, and is detected to be huge. Consequently, based on the evidence, the effect of Russian interference is insignificant at most, and possibly non-existent.
      As a general rule, when Chomsky has said something that you find "unbelievable", you should take a time-out for thinking through and studying the issue, before you say anything. I assure you: You'll find that the error was entirely on your part. He has a mind that operates with extreme precision, and he says nothing that can't be supported with strong arguments.

      This is a comment and I don’t have much space to show you what a bunch of losers your progressives are. But since I already mentioned AOC I’ll try to be very brief:
      - She is the stupidest person elected in Congress. She knows nothing about politics, finances (or geography!)
      - She thinks USA has a population of 500,000,000 people!
      - She thinks we won’t be on Earth anymore in 12 years due to global warming. “Like, Hello America,” wake the f up!
      - She violated House ethics when she hasn’t even been sworn in yet!
      - She embarassed herself by comparing the Holocaust to what happens at the Southern border!
      - She referred to “Israel’s ocupation of Palestine” but when she was asked to explain what she meant she just grinned and didn’t have a clue!
      - She does not know who her democrat colleagues are in congress and mistakingly calls them Republicans. That is what happens when you move from being a bartender to being paid an annual $175,000 for a part-time job.

      He's not though and I'll tell you why.
      He likes to make sweeping predictions and they invariably turn out to be almost completely wrong about everything. Now, that's fair enough, the world is complicated and I wouldn't expect anyone to be a prophet. He can be still be correct, and I believe that he is, insofar as what he's talking about, but he clearly has an ideological blind spot that doesn't allow him to see everything in the proper context which is why his political predictions always turn out to be completely wrong.
      I read his predictions on what was going to happen in the middle east and I got it a hell of a lot closer than he did and I am certainly no political expert by any measure.
      But Chomsky has an obvious left wing ideological bent which doesn't allow him to see things from a right wing perspective. This makes him a very good and valuable critic of the Right, but to, for instance, claim that both parties jumped precipitously to the right is to completely ignore all adoption of social and environmental programs that happened at the same time as what he is describing.
      He's a very bad prophet, which means he's amazingly unperceptive or possibly that he's so hyper perceptive along a single axis that he consistently misses the bigger picture.

      I'd sort of agree. Chomsky is great but I differ from his opinion here a bit. Yes Russia is like 57th on the list of importance, and yes it's being used as a distraction. BUT they aren't addressing 1-56 nor are going to change topics untill new leadership is in. By not addressing the actual corruption in the muller report they ARE at least sort of willing to address, we normalize this level of corruption and criminal behavior and are far less likely to ever get what we want as more money comes in and more D and R canidates disenfranchise, gerrymander and outright directly cheat the votes on elections.

    • @jonavery4978
      @jonavery4978 Před 5 lety

      @@burtosis I think what Chomsky misses about Trump in particular is just how much he is reviled by his own side on a purely emotional level and I think this is where Chomsky falls apart as an analyst. He seriously underplays the role of culture and emotion in politics and tends to look at the world in a very rational and materialist real politic lens. The world doesn't work like that. To me, Trump is nothing more than an acknowledgement that the checks and balances of the American system actually do work, on the whole, because if the political establishment can throw everything they have at a candidate like Trump, BUT HE CAN STILL BE ELECTED, then it means they really aren't as powerful as they appear to be.
      Every politically disengaged person should be very optimistic about what Trump represents, whether or not you agree with any of his policies. At least that's how I see it.

  • @tomitstube
    @tomitstube Před 5 lety +179

    a little history about the corporate coup of our democracy.
    chomsky lays it out. in the 1970's democrats under jimmy carter abandoned the working class, more specifically "unions". in favor of the stock market/share holder economy. carter was a business owner who didn't support worker rights. he literally disinvited union leaders to the 1976 democratic convention. up until that point union bosses were very powerful in the democratic party.
    this followed nixon's "southern strategy" that chomsky mentions. republicans went after the segregationist working class. which of course wasn't just southerners. remember george wallace, "segregation now, segregation forever..." was breaking "dixiecrats" from liberal democrats like fdr, truman, and kennedy/johnson.
    at the time there were also many race riots due to civil rights not making the strides everyone had promised... many communities were dragging their feet to comply to housing rights for minorities. white flight was everywhere, the nra was changing their ideology based on racial issues. there was a big shift in the make up of both parties.
    from that point both parties *had to play* populous while serving corporate money. during the 1970's there were numerous articles blaming "high wages" for an economic slow down, "american's are making too much." "high wages cost american jobs". it was an all out push by corporate america to blame labor for economic woes.
    and it worked. political parties began to shift from a *labor economy to a share holder economy.*
    and without labor having any power in the democratic party, reagan swept into office and the massacre of unions began, along with massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and deregulation of corporations. not to mention staggering spending on the military.
    and that's when the new deal became enemy number one. and when social issues became the argument. god, guns, gays, and abortion... race was also a strategy by republicans, reagan and the "welfare queen" ads, george h.w. bush and the willie horton ads... the southern strategy of race fear mongering was now a regular part of the republican platform. and it worked keeping people from noticing they were being robbed.
    and it's been like this for over 40 years now, and you see the massive income inequality, the destruction of individual power, democracy, and the mass accumulation of corporate power.

If humanity is going to continue to survive and thrive in an indifferent universe, I think it is completely up to humanity (BTW, I have no problem with being proven wrong here). John Stuart Mill said, "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing." I prefer the following version of this quote, often misattributed to Edmund Burke, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." I hope that many of our fellow good, talented, and hard-working humans can successfully help humanity make some much needed course corrections so we can avoid catastrophe (climate change, famine, WW3, etc.).

      Normally I strongly agree, but it should seem obvious to Mr Chomsky that the primary goal of the Russian state is to destabilise the west. Their actual effect on the election is secondary to the likely situation where there is a network of far right actors, built around Trump, Farage and Putin whose goal is to increase their own power. This will be at the detriminet to society and the planet. It shouldn't take Chomsky much of a journey to get to this position.
      Active Measures is not separate from the far right insurgency that the Republican party and other Conservative Parties around the world clearly are, rather it supplements it. This is in addition to the faux intellectuals, Shapiro, Peterson etc who seek only to impose their world view on society, dragging us to the extreme right.

Republicans dont hide it anymore that they care about the super rich and big CORPORATIONS. The Democrats hide behind social issues while still voting with Republicans on economic issues.

    More than anyone, Chomsky opened my eyes to US politics and foreign policy. I remember reading one of his books and again, and again, thinking "That has to be bullshit" or "He has to be spinning this" and tracking down his sources to see for myself. Usually when I do this I turn out to be right- it's a great way of spotting out bullshit. But with Chomsky, every time, it would be like "Holy shit, he's not even being misleading." It was very sobering, but very illuminating. Especially on US foreign policy. Can't recommend him enough.

Trump wasn't found guilty by Mueller for conspiracy, which is an actual crime, collusion is not. In Mueller's opinion there was no substantial evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, which would be required to be guilty of conspiracy. However, he compiled all of the evidence he found regarding interactions between the Russian government and the Trump campaign and stated that the fate of Trump himself should be left up to Congress.

Chomsky does not even make it into the category 'philosopher'. He is a linguist who uses philosophy. It's a shame he doesn't spend more time thinking about obligation, trust and the meaning of liberty, IMO. As for Peterson, I wish he'd decide whether he's a psychologist - whatever that is - or a part-time literary critic.

      ​@Mai Ling Saying that you turn to socialism because you change few politics who don't work is like saying someone supports the slavery because is drinking Coca Cola from Georgia. The sad fact is behind these policies are very dirty interests and calculations - take for example the health: there are some who want to assure themselves there is a minimum number of deaths, for artificial selection (it's not natural because is made by them , they don't apply it to themselves and is made with self-interested criteria, like the survival of the cruelest and death of the most creative or freedom-loving. Plus the money from here go to satanic projects like Ebola research. With the money saved from the healthcare system only, you could assure universal healthcare, minimum wage and social security. Another example - the charter schools. There are public schools (like in any country of this world, from Lesotho to Monaco, and you don;t want to look more primitive than Lesotho, right?) and there are also PRIVATE schools financed by state and with an even bigger sum - that's SOCIALISM - to affect the free market! With the money for the charter schools you could build a double number of public schools. You don't even have to change a tank for a medical clinic and so on, you solve this only with the money saved from corruption, incompetence, socialism and apocalypse. In fact, the guys ruling the things prefer a bad school and bringing smart emigrants (you see? them, in the first place) because apparently they (who is rumored to be possessed, a degenerated species from the underground with a hive mentality, former low lives like petty criminals became bosses through manipulation, hostile foreign spies who want to destroy US for their own benefit or ancient populations that we thought disappeared like the sabeans or the elamite) are genetically dumb and don't want to see their positions affected. That's why removing these aberrant measures is the duty of any american, especially those who are paid for defending America, As for the others, you could begin by instructing yourselves.

      Noam Chomsky completely denies 9/11, even going so far as to say that 'even if it was a conspiracy, which it wasn't, that it simply does not matter'. If one fails to review Chomsky's record on 9/11, one remains unable to see the true role he plays in narrative management, just like Julian Assange. I watched a single video of Assange and Chomsky addressing 9/11 on numerous different speaking forums last week, and two of my previous 'heros' were immedaitely flushed down the toilet where they belong. Chomsky's record of his opinons on 'Anthroprogenic Climate Change' provide powerful convergent validity of the fact that he is just one more stooge; 90% truth, 10% spin on the most critical issues.
