    Ordinary words start out as common property, which can be freely defined, used, related, and compared. When the words become politically sensitive, their meanings are privatized, so that they can only be manipulated according to a pre-chosen system of rules. Common words already have an relation which controls how they relate. By creating a fresh word and designating its meaning, they control the way it relates.

    even the free market model is flawed with all the assumptions that go along with its premise, the worst being that the market must always expand and that utility (consumer happiness) can be bought at any cost that is possible. as mentioned in the video, though, one of those assumptions is that individuals are rational with indisputably rational choices, which obviously is actively being bent beyond all bounds by corporate entities. yet the model is often used by the very corporations that corrupt it as a kind of protective shield, for they know people would much rather say "i am an able-bodied, able-minded, God-willed (or free-willed) human being who is the master of my own choices" rather than "look, i've been a fool and i've been tricked". a part of this is plain and simple ignorance, but some of it is decisive denial.

    We have a state-backed capitalist system in the US. The idea of free markets here is largely an illusion of the media markets who support state-capitalism as a rule. How do we know this? When flaws in the "free market" nature of real-life trading begin to emerge, the system, via government subsidy and outright bailouts, covers the "gaps". In the 2008 mortgage crisis, we began to see that collusion posing a systematic risk to the basic operation of the economy...or so we were told. In reality, it was reckless gambling by Wall Street that created ungodly losses that were than strapped to the taxpayers like a ticking timebomb. The Fed didn't flinch to bailout Goldman Sachs and Co because they had already promised to back shitty mortgages (lent through quasi-governmental organizations like Freddie Mac) regardless of the mortgage-lending evaluation process (which was effectively null and void with "liar loans").

His Trumpanzi's can't get enough units of satisfaction driving their internal combustion noisemakers for ego satisfaction. Everyone with BMI's over 30 could die in the pandemic, and that's his base.

    But when politicians don't seem to listen to their citizens on a broad array of issues, it's easy to get cynical and drop out of the process. This is what the neoliberal power structures work towards: they only want people accepting their narratives on politics to participate!!

    Of course, much of his social/political criticisms are astute and correct. At the same time, Chomsky seems deluded by his own magical thinking. Something like-- If only the Russian revolutionaries somehow had access to my wisdom, they would have successfully created a true communist utopia on Earth. Yeah, not so much, Noam.

    Try paying attention to what the man is saying and think about what the consequences of the remarks. You should probably start at an earlier point within the realm of the subject matter.
