      Why you didn't you ask Chomsky a follow up question on France's re-election of Macron after the massive demonstrations by yellow vests against Macron's policies. It doesn't make sense that same people who protested aggressively against a president vote for him again.
      He always rightfully discusses the role of business class minority in rigging the worker's rights over the years but never does he discusses the other half of the picture which is the role of the worker's majority in aiding abetting them against their own interests.

      @@globobai Macron's re-election makes perfect sense when you look at how the French presidential elections work.
      They have a 1st round with about a dozen candidates, if no one gets over 50% the 2 candidates with the most votes go for a run off.
      Usually around 25% is enough to go into the run-off and this time it was between Macron and the fascist LePen with the left-wing candidate getting only fractionally fewer votes than LePen. Some of the ones who don't make it endorse a specific candidate of the last two and others just said 'anything but LePen' but the result is that the eventual winner is a candidate that around 75% of the electorate did NOT want to be president, they just rather have Macron than a LePen.
      When LePen's father got into the run-off the winning slogan was 'Vote for the fraudster, not the fascist'.

      Here`s what got Trump most of his base: He was the host of a TV show. He seemed independently wealthy. They`d seen him take charge so many times on his show, they ended up never missing it each week. He`s a fake and they fell for it. He just acknowledged in court that he was a star and stars can just grab pussy throughout history. Actually, he said a million years ago which means he doesn`t read the bible, but do you think that matters to his Christian base? The new Christian today promotes the use of AR-15`s, not love or the word of their god.

      The differenc between Left and Right is hardly trivial when it comes to the politics involved. After all, Trump and Biden couldn't possibly be more different from each other when you examine the sorts of results achieved for America by each President. As men, maybe they're not too different. But what they believe and how they each proceed is drastically different. In short, Chomsky is dead wrong.
      Biden is the worst thing which ever happened to the USA.
      His party does everything possible to dismantle the nation as established, meaning the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Those two documents tell us who we are. Or at least, what we used to be up until 10 or 15 years ago, because now we have the very worst anti-Americans among us living on home soil, meaning those damn Democrats. That's right, the worst enemies of the USA are indeed the Democrats.
      Biden is nothing but a goddamn puppet president. A total Puppet Fool.
      Yank his strings, and watch him squirm. And on top of everything else, Biden is a racist. After all, he once said this on camera ... "If you don't vote for me, then you ain't black!"
      Trump helped us by lowering taxes. But Biden fucks us. He makes doing business for oneself a royal pain in the ass because of endless regulations which accomplish nothing but gridlock for the economy.
      Trump also achieved the lowest unemployment rates in untold decades
      for minorities. Trump served the little people, and old Joe only pretends to serve the little people while hiding behinds his million$. Yeah, Old Joe is wealthy, but HOW he gained his wealth is a genuine mystery... unless you happen to be a Democrat. They know how Biden got to be filthy rich.

In Seattle and Tacoma, you can get Democracy Now over radio air, and over digital TV. Many elderly now can't afford cable, and Rainier Connect even stopped it. Not targeted enough I suppose.

      He's kind of an idiot that often contradicts himself, trying to fit reality into his own political beliefs, which makes for a terrible political analysis. For example, he claims countries are rejecting the US, in favour of China and Russia because the US...is so brutal?
      Unfortunately, that makes extremely little sense. if the US is "brutal", or "barbaric", then what in god's name is Russia or China? Beacon's of enlightenment and human rights? Anything that is morally questionable in the US is going to be 10 times worse in the countries. I will bet you my life savings on that. Think waterboarding was bad? What do you think the Russians do to people? They will literally go after the family members of terrorists, not just the terrorists themselves, and literally cut their balls of (look it up). Waterboarding suspects is disgusting, but dismembering people you know are innocent, is easily worse.
      One would be challenged to find many democracies siding with either Russia or China. The state of government is a much better predictor of alignment.

    You were the source of all of my linguistic applications to how we learn, understand, and apply ( with neurosemantics) to how I teach English and basis of English Education program at NYU. Use of your initial concepts is now basis for part of “ Science of Education “ in changes of this now approved program in NY- but looking at any citations of these New programs, now controlled by government/ business…. If you backtrack, is taken and cited NEW research. You resonate with me and thanks for being who you are.

    As a former Wisconsin teacher I lived the savage class war. It appears to me color revolutions are happening in the swing states. That's what I think happened in Wisconsin in 2010 and is ongoing in Florida now.

      what is happening in Florida now? What i am Central European and the only news I have about Florida is that more and more rich people move there, so that there is no more space anymore. And that Florida is a very pro-republican state. And probably DeSantis is from there. That would be disaster for America IMHO. Trump or Desantis, one is Satan, the other is hansome goodlooking younger but still Evil. And strong enough

    And Noam, what happened to the National Beauvoir of Standards? It became the National Beauvoir of Standards and Technology. Now who wants to slave away in a damp musty cellar exploring patents and intellectual property in an effort to create necessary standards when you could be working on TECHNOLOGY? The reality that we don't have, or most probably don't want, a standard ink jet cartridge or laser printer cartridge baffles me. We need those folks that thrive on the dusty cellars with the objective of creating some standards that improve everyone's life.

    Chomsky's analysis of the Republican party begins, oddly, with the Nixon presidency ('69 to '74) and overlooks the widely popular Eisenhower years from 1953 to 1961. It'd be helpful if he explained what happened between those two administrations.

      The civil rights act convinced Nixon to go after the solid south, take it from conservative Democrats and sold the Republican Party’s sole to being a racist, anti working class party. They’ve done a great job at convincing working class people they support them when in reality their policies are the exact opposite

      See, it's the fact that you want sit at his feet that's the problem.
      When everyone just listens to "The Master" without any critical review or meaningful push back, that is called a "cult of personality."
      Chomsky is a man subject to the same fallacious thinking we are all subject to (though he's a brilliant analytical philosopher) and his pronouncements should be regarded as critically as we would with pronouncements of folks we are not attracted to.
      Chomsky has become an unquestioned guru of the Left (I'm on the Left) and that's a real shame, IMO.

    Fascinating interview with Noam Chomsky. A lot of what he said echoes thoughts in my own mind about poltics in the U.S. and in my own community. I feel shitty because when I was younger I used to pay lip sevice to Chomsky as a liberal, and now as an older person in my 40's a lot of what he says just seems like something I would have been into and could have learned from. The first interesting thing that stood out for me is when Mr. Chomsky calls Democrats & GOP both pro business and the GOP the more pro business of the two, but that they are just factions of the same party.
