Watch now the full interview with Noam Chomsky on the 2024 elections, Artificial Intelligence, and a potential conflict with China - • Noam Chomsky: On China...
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.
You needed him to tell you that? Wow, how low is the bar. Plus, Chomsky isn't exactly perceptive in these analyses, if he'd ever been so at all. He's simply had the fortune of speaking when the obvious isn't always stated.
For decades I said that the USA has two parties: The Republicans who are very much like the UK's Conservative Party and the Democrats who are very much like the UK's Conservative Party.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 Did you just try a pivot? My, how "free world" of you. And whatever do you mean a "gifted linguist"? While brilliant people can put forth incorrect theories, as Chomsky's was, how brilliant was Chomsky's proposal in the first place? Oh that's right, he simply grafted concepts of computer science onto that of linguistics, and the rest was pure hallucination, which has since been debunked by actual observation. So back to the prompt, who are you, no less for all those decades? I doubt you're left at all, whatever that word, or indeed any word, means for an american. For left, you go to China and the Chinese Communists, the only miniscule hope left for an actual free world.
You have watched this interview, which is great, but, I must point out that over the past 200 years progress has been exponential causing many folks to witness in their 70 years, dramatic shifts in their environments.
@@sciwiz57 - I suppose you mean you're alarmed at where the country is headed NOW, since Biden was elected President? At your age, you're a child of the 60's. So were you a crazy Woodstock type, or the sensible sort who supported the American military efforts overseas? Democrats never support anyone who wants the sorts of freedoms which Americans generally enjoy, starting with basics like the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Or really ... it may be more accurate to say they want freedom for all world citizens EXCEPT for the Citizens born in the USA. I suppose you know that idiot Joe left billions of dollars worth of American war paraphernalia behind when he pulled out of the Middle East, don't you? Yes, Billion$ of dollar$ worth -
Shalom! You are soo blessed to be able to talk with this man without filter and learn from his breath of knowledge on his chosen areas of interest. Thank you for sharing!!!🕊️
@@Kimkoo2290 - No. You are a right wing smear merchant. -- In a statement published in The New Yorker on September 23, 2019, Chomsky said: --- "I never met Epstein or any of his associates, nor have I been to his homes or his island." ---- NO ONE has ever refuted this testimony. --- This should have been the end of this, four years ago. It's disgusting that it's not.
@@Kimkoo2290who Trump? Wich described Epstein like a "terrific guy" In fact they were friends and birds of a same feather i would say. And by the way even if that was true i would give a shit of it because all that he have said here is 100% True. Of course you try to distract and want us to see in another direction (just like he have explained the "cultural wars" to distract people) But one European unioniced worker i'm not so easy for snake oil sellers like average people in your dumb and racist wasp culture or only white if you want. Sorry to being rude but truth matters. Here in my country we are fortunately clever than that
This is, hands down, one of the most straight forward, down to Earth, no BS, tell-it-like-it-is videos that I've seen in a long time. Well said Noam. Thumbs up!
If you think this is no BS you probably haven’t studied Chomsky sufficiently. He has a bias and is always advancing an agenda. He’s very good at helping a person understand propaganda and manipulation, but when he isn’t exposing it he’s doing it.
@@trifecta9810 Peterson is now owned by Shapiro. He has always been a cuck because he won’t name the Jew. Now he reports to one and gives speeches about how Muslims need to be nicer. He’s a train wreck. You can’t talk about power relations in America without mentioning Jews. If you can’t mention a group’s power, then that obviously is power and thus must be mentioned. Chomsky is a gate keeper. If you start thinking about how public perception is manufactured, he’s there to point you in the direction safe for his faction.
You guys need to chill out with thie 'big business' conspiracy theories. Chomsky is, or was, a linguist by trade and knows very little economics and political science. His conspiracy theories about 'multinational corporations' (the bogeymen) are only marginally better than what you hear from Alex Jones.
@@themaskedman221 Don't look at what Chomsky says because it makes sense, look over here instead or better yet, don't look at all.. Tell me what he said that was wrong. How is it not true that the rich are getting richer and the poor are now living on sidewalks. How does it make any sense to give the rich tax breaks? How is it that we think men with age and experience are not better qualified? As I age I have learnt so much that I had wished I knew when I was young.
@@alexmackay7454 He sought financial help with his first wife's monies after she died. There is no evidence of him hanging out with the guy. Epstein was a wall street man and successful. Not all of Epstein's associates were on the island. Epstein ingratiated himself with thinkers. Some were suspicious like Lawrence Krauss. I think he was on the island as I seem to remember seeing his name on the flight logs.
@@dogwood9023 is the idea to give tax breaks to companies to encourage investment on home soil , there by creating more jobs and opportunity for the working class ? If you tax big buisness they will probably go somewhere else and take their jobs with them . This only works if people are prepared to work and is a long game . America definatly needs to look after the disadvantaged better . We here in australia have a pretty good social saftey net but we pay 37c to the dollar income tax , something maybe most americans would find outrageous
Chomsky? I would not trust this guy for as far as I can throw a boomerang. He has just been revealed by the NYT to have been part of the Epstein entourage for a long time. How long, how deep and how far is the question? His answer: None of your business. This is the answer of someone who cannot be trusted and has something to hide!! He should crawl back into his cave before he gets further exposed.
Thank goodness for Dr. Chomsky’s voice in the wilderness. His ability for linear thinking is amazing at 94! He’s hated by both the mainstream left and right, because he makes clear the trivial differences between them. Amazing gift to all of those seeking truth.
The 'differences' in considering our futures are anything but insignificant. Gross insufficiencies for the working poor will never hold the key to success. As always, problems quietly wait and build, bracing for an explosion of troubles.
I think he's mainly a one-trick pony and just likes to be a pain in the ass contrarian and that is his 'talent' -- being a bummer and hating anything that's popular. He probably never drove a car but if he did it was probably a Yugo.
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. No sane person will mourn when Biden is finally DEAD -
Amazing he is 93 years old. 40 years ago I was a student at Harvard which had a co registration program with MIT where Chomsky was teaching, so I audited a class. Even then there were so many students they had to use their largest auditorium which seated 500. That was the Vietnam War period which saw the beginnings of his political eminence, he had long been celebrated for his linguistic scholarship, indeed the two are finely connected.
If it weren't for Chomsky reassuring me by agreeing with everything I already figured out for myself, I'd have gone crazy from the gaslighting perpetrated by the "news" media and the "two" parties that own them.
Not even Noam Chomsky figured this all out by himself. These come from the cumulation of thousands of leading scholars around the world that study politics as a science i.e. political science.
@@Gcssdvnkloiutesc ...and I didn't say that I "figured this all out by [my]self." I said that he agrees with everything that I figured out for myself. In science, these kind of not-so-subtle distinctions matter.
Noam Chomsky - remarkable human hero, deserving of far more respect than younger male egos sometimes offer - and eclipsed perhaps only in staying power, by the capacity of his under-lauded wife. Stay with us a few more years Noam, until age reversal occurs with more certainty - we need long-experienced elders, rightful future leaders who know better, few still exist such as yourseelf.
He can't see any problems with the democratic party, he's a left-wing hack. He watched, as we all did, the dems stoke nasty racial politics to a tee in 2019 to encourage the riots and allow and encourage antifa to harrass and even kill, the defund the police movement, school closures during Covid, Afghan withdrawal debacle, hunter biden laptop cover-up... and Chomsky has the balls to cal the Repubs not a real party! Hilarious.
Who knows who has Jeffrey Epstein's stuff for Teflon, Don? Christians, being void of quality-control, are vexed by the fact we use voting as a quality-control, and no one wants a leader guiding as if travel was best done with one foot in fantasyland, guided by a deity who can't make people aware of itself outside of fiction. A deity failing to make everyone aware, fudges the title. Christians assure themselves of having been delegated authority from a deity to spin The Divine shortcomings & be taken seriously too. The very good reason why Christians are ignored, avoided like the old woman with 400 pet cats, is we have quality-controls like voting for our leaders. No one wants a leader suggesting we travel with one foot in fantasyland. Christians, authorized by themselves, speak boldly, weighing-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones & magic. The same deity we know for a perfect record of doing nothing, is adored & a servant for unmeasurable prayers, rather than a tool of fiction. That is why we say, God helps those helping themselves, a house divided cannot stand & Jesus says, think not I come with peace, but sword & a wicked generation seeks signs. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Getting directions from fantasyland works well for fascists, authoritarians. So, marvel not it is said, you must be born again, astounding rubbish is such that every Alex Jones in the country knows enough Jesus-lingo to put in the sales-pitch. Theology Lesson for Beings of Spirit / The Obvious Stuff One can make a spectacle of dressing, like boasting in the temple for everyone to see. Christians lure some, but insult others in public: As if those condemned to voting as a quality-control, would have any desire for leadership with one foot in fantasyland. These are the wolves in sheep's clothing, Think not they come with peace, but sword. A house divided, cannot stand. We say, God helps those helping themselves, The same deity of fiction, well-known for a perfect record of doing nothing, is their object of worship, a servant for unmeasurable prayers. Christians pass by with audacious boasting, having zero quality-control: Convinced we are all gods, children of the highest god. Theologians grant doctorates to each other based on nothing whatsoever. Deities apparently delegate Their authority & recordkeeping. We marvel at their ultimate conceit, We avoid them like the old woman with too many cats. We know a tree by the fruit, the man by his works, We thank god, secular law and order finally ended the witch-killing & inquisitions. We all citizens forced to render to Caesar. * History Lesson for Beings of Spirit There is no evidence Democracy works at scale. Not with endless wars, & too big to fail. The science of greenhouse gases was ignored. Now, is "too late" - 1979. Biden just opened up places to drill, as if Limits to Growth had not predicted our worst path. The only difference between a Republican & Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor, when a donor walks in the room. The State is not a rational actor. The State has known this crisis & peak oil production was expected around the year 2000, after we passed peak oil (good quality oil) discoveries in 1956. The state has never acted green because the only questions about how soon global heating would be an extinction crisis beyond control, was would we have enough energy & civilization enough to get there or here. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” All prophets are ravenous wolves, false prophets, prophesy being a tool of fiction. Christians have a problem in that they lack quality-control & voters prefer not electing someone with one foot in that fantasyland guiding us. Any deity, not making awareness of itself completely, lacks authority for the title.
NOT A TREASURE, A CROOK. CHOMSKY TURNED OUT TO BE A PHONY, GLOBALIST OPERATIVE, PUSHING POISON VACCINES ONTO THE PUBLIC "FOR THE GREATER GOOD". TYPICAL LEFTIST INTELLECTUAL.
Yes, excellent. We each need to adopt an elderly VOTER, who is polluted with "mainstream" lies and propaganda and race baiting, and share the REAL news with them. 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.
Glad to hear him call out the US belief that there is no such thing as Class. As someone who grew up poor and worked my entire life for little pay, I know I'm certainly not "Middle Class".
It is a damn shame we don’t have those same social policies here. We are supposed to be one of the wealthiest countries and we can’t take care of our people?
Living in a country which had had its core services privateised and asset stripped I understand every word Mr Chomsky speaks. And now its our Health Services turn.
@@ujfalusik1 pretty sure he is from the united kingdom. A truly declined state where corruption, apathy and stagnation has been the norm since 2010's now. UK is genuinely a horrific state. Thankfully I left and never hope to come back
Thank you so much for posting this!!! His assessments make absolute sense!!! I travel to states throughout the country. I see most small towns have shut down!!! HUGE once thriving industries have shut down and are rusting away!! When the plant shuts down the town and people die!!! The people are poor AF!!!
In college, I read Noam Chomsky’s writing. Have loved his work ever since. Also very scary to both Democrats and republicans . Still always was on the side of free speech ( with guidelines ) , and saw what would happen when all the MIDDLE CLASS a jobs were sent to China. No one listened. He also knew religion would be our downfall. When mixed with Politics.
Yeah Noam Chomsky is a fraud supporter of Hugo chavez the communist dictator of my country Venezuela also wanted the unvaccinated to be segregated from society and guess what he had secret meetings with Epstein
Ambrose Bierce knew that religion would be the downfall of the USA and he died over a hundred years ago. (Or not. He joined the Mexican revolution aged 75, almost immediately fell out with it's leader and was never heard of again)
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.
So well put! "The US is essentially a one-party state, the business party, with two factions: the Democrats and the Republicans". Chomsky is always so clear and intelligent. I wish him a long and healthy life.
The real struggle is inside the Dems. The progressive wing is fighting against the center right corporate wing on economic issues. The GOP is so far gone they are actively looking to screw people over to help corporations...who themselves are just identity shield against the uber rich.
I first learned of Noam Chomsky in University when I was an undergrad in linguistics about 20 years ago. I've since found his breakdowns of class, politics, and social movements to be incredibly refreshing. He was also one of the first voices I ever heard correctly identifying what it means to have social policies from the Left.
Chomsky's claims that hierarchies are inherently corrupt and that society is a patriarchy are completely wrong. He's is a socialist. Jordan Peterson is MUCH better.
Nah. No man who calls for mass persecution of a class of society based on their personal vaccination status is a great man. Ironic that he became the thing he claimed to hate... "manufactured consent."
Dr. Chomsky, you seem to be attracting more trolls and negative detractors, lately, who cast aspersions but rarely have any actual counter facts to offer. Your messages are apparently causing concern. Please keep up the amazing work! You will continue to inspire others to ask tough questions.
i would love to sit across this person just listen just to hear his lnowledge u dont know it but he is answering and teaching at same time thank u for your life time and sharing
One of the greatest tragedies of this world, imho, is that the best of humanity avoids positions of power while the worst crave it and will do anything to seize and retain it.
Wow, awesome. That just tied up all the threads that have been rattling around in my mind for years into a complete picture and it took him just 6 minutes. Sure glad he's still giving interviews even though it's nothing short of tragic that we still need him so much and can't let him fully retire.
His message has been consistent for years. Noam is a humble scholar who has spoken about the demise of our political system through years of subservience to the multi-national corporations. Ralph Nader once said: “the difference in the Republican and Democratic parties is the speed with which they drop to their knees when their business donors come calling”. Chomsky has said as much for many years.
I don't think one can simultaneously be humble and call hundreds of millions of Americans fascists at the same time. That kind of condemnation can only come from someone who is a saint in their own head.
It’s amazing how lucid his mind is at 94! He just put the history of the last sixty or seventy years into a nutshell. He is able to see events, even crazy events that are happening now, from the perspective of nearly a century of accumulated knowledge and wisdom. If only more of us would listen.
We listen but as he said, we’re up against criminals who don’t follow the law. How do you protest against criminals in uniforms with guns? The working poor are harassed daily by criminal gangs called police. If you talk about it, you’re stomped on by the sheep who don’t know their own lives and liberties are under attack by these criminals they praise. I could go on but it is exhausting. Mind you, our system of government was forced on the inhabitants of this land in a criminal manner. Our government never was legitimate or legal from the POV of the native peoples who actually didn’t cause the climate change crisis.
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
They wouldn't get it. They see it as a "fight" with a "winner" and have taken the bait fed to them to ignore the idea of what politics is actually supposed to be in this country.
@@geargeekpdx3566 maybe, but Joe is able to be persuaded, so if he had Chomsky on, then co-signed the ideas, I could see his audience buying in. But yeah I won't hold my breath. It would just be nice to see these types of thought leaders' voices amplified.
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
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. Amy D. NY
this is someone i would love to just have a one one talk with just to gain knowledge thank u for living thank u for sharing what u know see through your eyes
America is the greatest country on Earth. If you’re not making money and can’t support your family, get 2 certifications that cost next to nothing. Microsoft and Cisco. If you want to pretend that money isn’t important or that you’re not going to be a part of the corporate world, you’re a sucker falling right into their trap. The trap of ‘somebody should care about me and help me.’ Nobody cares. Nobody is going to help you. It is a war. Act accordingly.
He is a true intellectual, and there are so few of them anymore, and they hide, because they are held in such disdain these days. I think there are people who could greatly help our country to solve our issues, but maybe they are at home pruning their roses, and don't want anything to do with the mess we've made.
This man has been there and done that. Great minds are a rare commodity these days. Thank you sir. Even though no one will ever listen to reason. They just repeat slogans.
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.
As someone who has voted for both parties, I have to agree with much of what Mr Chomski says here about "The Bid ness Party" and American life in general. We all know we have been systematically abused in this country. most of us die before we reach the "retirement " age, and they keep raising it !
