Jonathan Andrew 'Clown' was the insult. Calling Trump a know-nothing is a comparison between his politics and that of a political movement called the 'know-nothings' which was basically a nineteenth century version of the tea party, who were very open about their rejection of facts and learning, hence the name.

And I’m sorry to say this, but the racial divide is still a defining feature of our political economy, the reason America is unique among advanced nations in its harsh treatment of the less fortunate and its willingness to tolerate unnecessary suffering among its citizens."

Your resources are diminishing fast? Not really... I mean they've been diminishing for decades but the US economy has been largely thriving. Your neo-colonialist approach to governing the world is ensuring that you'll stay the richest country in the world. And you have the audacity to deny a handful of the people whose countries you've robbed blind to live in your society? Empires collapse because of diversity? What a load of utter rubbish. If anything, the likely causes for the collapse of empires are “declining moral values and political civility at home, an overconfident and overextended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government” as outlined by the former comptroller of the US, David Walker. Diversity is a shared feature of empires, yes, because empires are BY DEFINITION diverse in culture, that's what an empire is. But none of the empires has dissolved due to diversity, and the recent eXamples that spring to mind, such as Russia, Netherlands, Britain and France, are quite eloquent.

And news organizations that matter will report it.

@TS-yg3lv

3 жыл бұрын

Hair issue?

Here's a precis for you: Noam says the USA enmity to Iran and fuss about Iran nukes is only a smokescreen for the USA and Israel's desire to have no one in the neighbourhood that might hinder their ability to exercise force, make war, do whatever they like whenever they like in the Middle East. He points out all the nominal reasons for fearing Iran being a nuclear state are ridiculous. He points out Iran's military budget is a fraction of that of the Gulf States. He points out that Iran is simply seeking a deterrent against those who may be tempted to harm them. Even an American General said he'd do the same thing, want the same thing, if he were Irani. And on the way there he points out something even more dramatic and potentially fearsome: Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal and its nuclear position. It is not part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (nor is Israel). It recognises a threat from radical Muslims (Daesh etc.) and has a nuclear 'protection' force of some 20,000 men who are there to protect Pakistan's nuclear weapons. All, of course, Muslim. Can you see a potential danger there? I can. I can surmise we could be nuked any time and that nuking could set off WWIII if the USA and Russia thought it was because of the other. That's what Noam says.

For the love of God, get a haircut.

Chomsky's legacies need to step up. He cannot do this forever.

Beautiful woman and love hearing Chomsky thoughts.

Listen to this guy you Americans. Do not be fooled by your power. He speaks the truth that is why you do not like to appreciate what he says.

Some day they will make a movie about Noam Chomsky. And Jeff Daniels will play him.

Some may have this feeling, deep unconfortable feeling, that if we actually knew the whole dark, horrible facts of not merely "politics", but the facts of human happenings and events, the lies of history, the deception of propaganda, the hidden occurrences, normal people (whatever "normal" is) with a degree of empathy for the-other, would freak out. We would be so shocked and mesmerized, that we wouldn't know what to do, how to keep moving forward and be part of this world. Maybe most people, regular citizens, laypersons, governed subjects believe we live in a "democracy" and it is because we believe so, we are not prepared to see beyond. Maybe we actually have no power at all, maybe there is nothing, absolutely nothing we can do to change the state of affaires --- mainly because we do not know WHAT is going on (because complexity, secrecy, and the abundance of events happening at any given moment), where the "news" give us the false impression that we "know" what is going on, and where only a handful of people have the means to control and "govern". It is absurd to believe we are a democracy because we chose a few candidates every 4 years, candidates elected previously by an elite. The real ones who control things are hiding behind the politicians. Changes for the better do happen thanks to the effort and fight of many groups, but the real and overall change in a wholistic way cannot happen. Those in power do not want democracy, democracy not only in the sense of the governed deciding how to be governed, but as synonym of justice, "freedom", equality and bla-blá. It is a facade, an act. The Constitution is a set of laws made up by people who took over a big chunk of land, decimated millions, and build the country on slavery: How can we then believe we are "A nation under God"? Besides, hundreds of millions of people with different needs and desires cannot be governed by a unique, umbrela-central Government. It is just impossible. We live in a fantasy.
