The Chris Hedges Report: Noam Chomsky, Pt 1

In a wide-ranging discussion, Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges discuss the war in Ukraine, the rising tide of global fascism, the climate catastrophe, and the role left to public intellectuals in an increasingly restrictive and censored media environment.
Noam Chomsky is the author of more than 150 books on topics that include linguistics, the press, the inner workings of empire, and the war industry.

I am glad I have always had too much pride to care what other people think... because he is so wrong on this issue its like he has no idea what is going on outside of his living room. In fact its so embarrassingly out of touch and inconsistent with everything history has taught us about fascism that Chomsky, even if he realized how wrong he was would never admit it. Stop taking YOUR opinions from other people and especially "intellectuals". Fuck Noam Chomsky.

Glad after positive reviews I took a look at the negative. The interview helps me understand better, it's mostly liberals who attack him. Thank you Chris.

    Noam Chomsky, among others, has helped me understand that I am a citizen of the American empire. His point seems to be that human empires would like to think they have their distinctive virtues, but they do not. I had to chuckle at his comment that he will not be interviewed by NPR, but he did not give a particular reason for that. Would it have anything to do with the length of his monologues? Which is also to say that KZread and forums such as the Chris Hedges Report, provide a wider audience access to presentations that can go to the necessary length to establish sound arguments. For that I am grateful to both of these gentlemen. I will say I drew hope for the American empire that it appears that both of these men were speaking from some place of relative safety within America, that they were not speaking from prison, nor did they pronounce their intention to leave the jurisdiction of the empire. Enjoy the peace?

    People are tribal. People fear death or destitution. The predator class knows this and twists the knife of prejudice into the masses so that they may HATE one another. Divide, Distract, Devolve peoples mentality. That’s there goal, and so the narrowness of peoples experience, due to circumstance in and beyond their control, makes for narrow perspective. A toxic brew of xenophobia, or class regression phobia aids in this whole process. A MASS FORMATION hypnosis then can siege an seize a population as what happened during the COVID scare and mass manipulation which made the rich richer and everyone else poorer.

    Long live Noam Chomsky!!. Embraced Noam as a linguist since the late 60's & evolved & grew with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zin and well as a few other unpopular voices of critical acclaim, all who spoke so eloquently humble, sensible & true to their own words without ego or a soapbox pulpit to spew drivel from. & all being the unsung heroes of my formative years in the late 60's onward to this day. The truth never hurts anyone, that's unless evermore promises of lies feels good & sounds great to those particular anyones. God knows we have been infused, overdosed and over stimulated with lies, deceit, divisiveness and blatantly obscene over- the- top greed ever since Ronald Reagan, the infamous B rated Death Valley Days Hollywood Cowboy & his Screen Guilded Squares entered the pre- Orwellian scene back in 1980 & reigned supreme over those minds who thrived off being pawns of mass deception, worshipping that boot strap cowboy & dear leader of some delusional free world fantasy, before, during and after the long Cold War. Afghanistan broke the Soviets back in the late 1980's and in turn the long Afghanistan & Iraq wars broke the US's exhausted mind and empty pocketbook a decade later , Especially after losing a war/conflict & so much coveted national trea$ure plus active duty military personal (as well as the untold lives of so many Vietnamese civilians) in the Vietnam Conflict just 20 some years before.. And then finally again in Afghanistan where the point was proven to the warmongering world that beyond the shadow of any doubt, Afghanistan is the place where empires have always gone to die. Hopefully with those harsh decades of experiencing long losing streaks the free world may realize that nobody actually wins at war anymore. The calvary is not coming soon and will not be there to save anyone. Despite their geopolitical positions & beliefs China and Russia were once our allies not so long ago. Being raised in the "duck and cover" paranoia era of the 1950's & 60's, where we were told that the Russians and Chinese will invade our country take our hot dogs and hamburgers away and make us eat cold Russian soup and stale bread, or fish heads and rice (on the west coast) was the common threat from the pinko commie fear propaganda machine, a fear infused world that children in my generation had to endure and some even believed.
