Noam Chomsky, not just one of the most respected public intellectuals of our lifetime, not just one of the most important linguists of his lifetime, not just a philosopher and historian, but the best damn vantriloquist I have ever seen.
it's a shame that most mainstream media tend to ignore Chomsky..a truly amazing guy who talks about the real issues that the media don't want u to know bout
Its not by accident, since 1971 Wallstreets , military industrial complex , US chamber of commerce fortune 500 corporations, megawealthy elites ,oligarchy have completely hijacked our government country and lives, they own, control and know everything we see,hear and read. Chomsky a intellectual and scholar has been blacklisted and is on a very short leash, those that stray , lose their livelyhood politicians / media figures included. All critical dissent has been silenced .As a result Americans have become the most uninformed controlled,brainwashed people on the planet.
What are you talking about? Mainstream media does not ignore Chomsky, everyone ignores Chomsky. Nobody wants to listen to a guy who doesn't have a developed ideology.
+Dymogrom China might be the country with the biggest pollution output but the USA is next on the list. You may also want to make yourself aware of the fact that a great many western companies take advantage of cheap labour in China therefore China inherits the pollution that would otherwise be domestically located. Deforestation is a big problem too which puts Brazil next on the list but last time I checked MacDonalds is an American company and soy bean production in Brazil goes hand in hand with feeding those cattle on the cheap which causes further deforestation. We can trace all that back to the USA. I therefore suggest that the USA is responsible for a lot more pollution and environmental problems than they lay claim to. When the rainforests are tampered with on such an industrial scale this in turn is a major cause of the extinction of species at the rate Chomsky mentions (David Attenborough will tell you the same thing and that guy knows what the hell he's talking about). You look at the surface but fail to see beneath it even at a fundamental level. Climate change is an issue predominantly forged by the 1st world. What Chomsky has to say is pretty much bang on the money here. To refute it is ignorance.
***** I thought it was you who was casting blame by singling out China. I wonder if you can answer this. How much of the pollution from China is as a direct result of them manufacturing goods for companies that are located elsewhere in the world?
***** You want to see angry, go to a Trump rally...like say, the one in Chicago. Trump is your FRONT RUNNER. A repulsive, serial liar who has alienated almost every demographic except poorly educated white racists. That's your champion?! Several countries have considered banning him. That psychopath is the champion for the populist conservatives.Don't tell ME that progressives are characterized by short fuses cause one person serves you your fat ass in a YT comment. ITS TEXT. Pretty minor compared to the divisive, racist conversation from the right and the regular assaults that occur at Trump Rallys. LMAO What a bunch of bitches you Republitards are. Fuck off - Blocked
I ran into Noam at a Social Distortion one time. I said, "What are you doing here"? He said, "Fuckin' rockin' out duuuuudddde"! And then poured beer over his chest and dove into the crowd. He is a man of many interests.
I hear he once played maracas with Hendrix at the Café Wha? in '66 too. He is a thinking man's Gump! Turned Rock Hudson onto amyl poppers... This could go on all night.
Stormbringer Coming "What has he ever done?" If you're trolling, you're not funny, not even close. If you're for real, you're still not funny and you're ignorant beyond belief.
This is why Chomsky is so much smarter than the average liberal. At the very end he states that he believes Ted Cruz is much more dangerous. Most left-wing liberals and Democrats and most moderate Republicans have a hard time grasping that reality.
+ahpacific Yes, Cruz is truly scary because he not only matches Trump in arrogance, he has the religious fanaticism to drive him to do evil. I'm just glad he has the charisma of a whelk or we'd be calling him the next Hitler instead of Trump.
+ahpacific you're right... trump is just your common loud-mouthed idiot... kasich and cruz are far more stealthy about implementing their "true" agendas...
+boptillyouflop Or more to the point because they judge candidates based on their demeanor and the "feelings" or "vibes" they get from them. This country is full of people with strong opinions on issues for which they have no expertise and on which they use emotion as a tool of assessment/analysis. Fucking mickey mouse infant like overweight sheep in fucking baseball caps holding 80 oz sodas with a black/white lens for the world..
+boptillyouflop bop: i will concede that i am not as aware of his plan other than what he has stated on the boob-tube so could you please educate me and run down just a couple of the more important aspects pf cruz's program... abortion rights, his foreign policy agenda/ideas specifically how he would have like to have dealt with isil and immigration, and his stance on minimum wage. appreciated
I was looking to see if his predictions were correct. But as a trained academic, he qualified them with explicit assumptions, which in hindside didn't apply, so he wasn't wrong, but neither was he right.
@@dewok2706are you kidding? He has put a massive dent in the perception of our country and our national belief in democracy and the truth. He pulled out of the paris climate accords, TPP, and Iran nuclear deal. He put conservative justices on the court that repealed Roe v Wade and gave total legal immunity to presidents for life. Explain to me how exactly he was tame ?
@@carson1084 " in the perception of our country and our national belief in democracy and the truth" Before Trump became president, the amount of Americans that answered Yes to the question "Do you trust the American government and its institutions" was 22%. That is a 60% decline since the 1960s (was 82% yes). You are absolutely delusional if you are blaming Trump for what has been a massive civilizational decline of over 60 years
You guys must be delusional trump supporters. The reality is that he's one of the most intellectual people of our time. What he said is true. And according to the economic intelligent unit, A trump presidency is a top 10 global threat. I'm not American but if trump is elected, he will be your last president.
I beg your pardon. It was the Titanic that hit the iceberg. Trump is the Titanic and that iceberg is going down. If not now, later. As well it should be.
Nixon haha; since the civil war when we removed the states the ability to voluntarily leave the union. It was gg then. Then again we were an empire from day 1, so the civil war was just a speed bump.
the rev. t. lawrence shannon it is the other way around as the podcaster stated. If you look at polifact.com most of what Trump states are lies and half-truths.
Trump was a great president and Chomsky does not know what he is talking about. How can an "intellectual" draw such a broad statement when he does not know Trump? And if he did he would know Trump is a man of his word. Chomsky continues to showcase that he is nothing but a talker rather than actual thinker.
Met an uber driver and said Trump is what the people need and that illegals should go back where they came from (he happened to be African American). I just laughed.
There are no African American unless he was born in Africa. Many consider this an insult to be call an AA. Isnt that racist? Maybe generations back he was from Africa. But havent we all been in Africa once upon the time? :)
We're all fucked if we don't fight climate change. Everything depends us on us beating it. The fact that the Republicans don't want to tackle this makes them insane.
+R. V.S. (Empty Sky) Of course the Republicans have a plan to address global warming. It's getting their end-times fingers on the Red Button... or make enemies of other nuclear armed states. Nuclear winter is certain to stop global warming in its tracks - and warfare is what we are more likely to get with any Republican in office than those coming from climate change.
+R. V.S. (Empty Sky) Pity it's pretty obvious that it's never going to happen, this concerted effort in many countries. Our politicians cannot implement long-term plans. They are in power for too short a time. Other than that we as humans can't stop making new wars , raping women, beheading journalists, organizing regime change,... The obvious lesson is there will not ever be a concerted effort. Our best bet is geo engineering, and/or some unforeseen invention (e.g. much better batteries) that allow us to create enough energy without producing extra greenhouse gasses. SO logically what we have to do then mainly, is invest in research. I'm all for conserving nature and wildlife, but not for a naive view of humanity, or for this idea of "fighting climate change". Like an ant fighting a cloud. If anything will save us, it is imo going to be technology, that is our main trick as humans, and it's what we've been doing ever since we took sticks in our hands, or mastered fire, ...
How come you don't call it 'global warming' anymore? Is it because of the fact that it is a myth? Are you going to stop 'climate change'? O.K., ...then ...Stop it. ....?
the most repetitive Marxist Anarchist moron in World History. Been saying the SAME EXACT THINGS FOR DECADES. A SINGLE pHd "Linguist" with his head so far up his arse he will never see the light of his ENDLESS class warfare and End of the World scenarios with the USA and Capitalism.

Different skill-set. Academics are great at gathering and analyzing data. Politicians and leaders rally people into action. Sort of the difference between Spock and Kirk on *Star Trek*. That said, Chomsky is the best commentator on politics I've ever encountered. But... Long-winded. Overly-detailed. And not easily simmered-down to sound-bite level (another failing of your typical Spock). But spot-on if you've pay attention and follow his evidence and reasoning.
Rik V Chomsky is a revolutionary MIT linguist whose theory -- that grammaical structures are inborn -- has withstood scrutiny. He has advanced the science, rescuing it from lists of words and grammar rules to a data-driven science that observes developmental cognition through language acquisition.. In short, he's smart. On the side, he uses his skills at uncovering and analyzing data to perform as a Public Intellectual. He leans left, no doubt. But you guys used to have smart people like Buckley -- though now your "intellectual" leaders are yellow partisans like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. A considerable step down. Which is exemplified by your "argument." Which consists of a silly, fact-free personal attack. Against a straw-man Chomsky that would destroy you in a real debate. But, I will give you a chance. I mean, do you have any documentary evidence that Chomsky hates his skin color? Or that his testicles were removed? Or that he advocates opening our borders (FYI -- I've read most of what he;s written. He doesn't.) Or is this troll just typical low-information bluster?
Noam Chomsky just knows the facts and says them. The reason that is profound is because most people just bullshit nowadays. So enlightening to hear truth.
+Yonas Campbell Apparently a low voice makes what a person says increasingly valid. Not that I disagree with all of what he says. Didn't know Trump was a climate denier. Scary.
Tracee Jeen Yep, I know what you mean. I also think that he has the opinion that everyone is friendly in the world and if they aren't, it the fault of the US.
+Yonas Campbell Chomsky is a liar. Even the co-founder of Green Peace no longer believes in man made climate change. CO2 levels have been many multiples higher than at present, and this was thousands of years before industrialization was even thought of. Mammals did just fine, and an added bonus is that plant life also thrived. In fact, plant life serves as a negative feed back loop for CO2 levels. None of the actual data (Ted Cruz trounced Aaron Mair in front of a Senate committee on just this topic) shows a rise in temperatures except for an anomaly of a warm winter here and there with temperatures returning to normal once that unusual high pressure breaks down. In fact, this happened in my area. We had 3 winters with near record high temperatures nearly every day, but that was because of a stubborn high pressure which caused the jet stream to flow father north. It kept all the cold air in Canada. The 4th winter and we had the normal pattern of low pressure areas, which caused the jet stream to flow father south and allowed the cold air from Canada in. Temperatures returned to normal.
Planet is dead, the end. But im happy that trump is a better facist than a populist ... crazy to say but if he woude have got the charisma not only on the crazy people in Murica it coude be worse like a self feeding fire but right now it looks like he only burns his own resources befor his flames go out.
funny how he mentions Cruz but NO ONE on the other team. both sides are a joke. i cant take anyone serious who doesnt see this and actually supports an R or D
+ted norton Remember, Sanders can't be blamed for the mess were in. He is NOT communist because he wants to fix things. What he is saying makes sense... unless you want to continue down the path we have been on. Stand back and look at things. Who would you rather have for president... Obama or Putin? Who would be the better leader and make the USA prosperous again. Who would actually have an opinion based on fact and not dictated by controllers. Who would have enough common sense and courage to do the job? I'm NOT saying we need to elect communists... but we do need to have leaders that represent the majority of people. My guess is all this will happen the hard way. Much blood will spill unless we can come up with a way to prevent it!!
+Thomas Dobyns what's wrong with communism ? I'm all for it. a totalitarium government is NOT communism. It is disguised fascism, and I am NOT for that. I guess Socialism is the best word.
+ted norton What we have now is a totalitarian, fascist police state. People support our government out of ignorance of the changes and refusal to see the changes (love of GOD and country?), or out of fear. My guess would be that the NSA monitors me and probably most in this room. What freedom of speech? Our constitution is dead. Our voting rights are of non-effect and represent nothing more than a ceremony expected. The government represents the supply side, big banks, and multinationals. If you think individuals have it bad, you should try small business... but, that's another story. Communism tries to make all people equal, which never has or never will work. In a fascist state, the important thing is the government. In a true democracy, the important thing is the people. No democracy has lasted over 200 years, ours included. I have bent over to kiss my ass goodby, but i'm not going to bury my head in the sand. At least I have no children.
+Thomas Dobyns we have a totalitarian shadow government without a doubt but I argue that freedom of speech is alive and well. I have also suffered those fears but yes indeed we can speak.
I agree Ted Cruz is more dangerous. I can sort of understand why Trump might be attractive to some people but I am utterly at a loss as to why anyone would vote for Ted Cruz.
+BloodTar While at the same time unless you are truly a moron you know for a fact he's smarter than you and knows more about just about everything than you, so you should have asked how you are wrong. Is it because of belief in god? Jesus makes the climate? How is it that your little uneducated brain believes it knows more than all the scientists in the world if not for religion. Conspiracy theory? All the scientists are working for satan?
+BloodTar I was asking if those are your reasons for disbelief in climate change, I don't believe in that nonsense, people who are climate change deniers like you do. You avoided the question like a pro. The question was why do you think you know better. Do you believe in god, that's a reasonable question.
+jim bob The conspiracy of climate change being false is the real conspiracy. People are supposed to question and doubt the 97% peer reviewed fact so that power companies and whatnot are able to continue raping the planet and the new few generations.
My synopsis of the video: Species destruction accelerating right now - global warming / climate change initiatives have been blocked by congressional Republicans. Trump outright denies the existence of climate change. Trump wants to violate international law by conducting torture at least equal to but preferably more severe than waterboarding. People in Central America fleeing results of military coups and destructive policies spearheaded in part by the US. Global public opinion poll actually identified United States as greatest threat to world peace. Spectacle of Republican primary is frightening people around the world. You can understand why some people in the US are flocking to Trump and rallying to his standard. Trump is kind of a wildcard, some things he says makes sense, some are crazy. US is a very powerful state; do we want a rash, impulsive, person with their finger on the (nuclear) button? Ted Cruz probably even more dangerous though.
+CytotoxicTrev "Do we want a rash, impulsive person with their finger on the nuclear button?" My answer, HELL YES!!! 'BOUT TIME! What you need to know kid is that the POTUS doesn't have his finger on the trigger. There are unbelievable safeguards in place to ensure that pilots that are nuke armed have a second pilot. Navy subs have to have confirmation from above and by 2 commanding officers, etc.. The Prez has to confirm with generals of The Joint Chiefs of Staff . Trump isn't trying to start a nuke war. He's trying to avoid one.
sea level rise ? I lived beside the sea for 40 years, . the only rise I seen was plastic floating everywhere mixed with seaweed and more bills to pay to keep the family home. "The sea never rose a millimeter..
Few year ago I commented on this video questioning what Noam was saying. Now I agree with everything. People can be in denial, I was in denial. You swim in your comfort, having few addictions, disconnected from the people and reality around you. But now I am aware and afraid its going to end badly. Nuclear or climate concerned.
""One thing I've learned about the press is that they're always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better...The point is that if you are a little different, a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you."" - Trump, 1987 I don't think the assumption that Trump means what he says is a good one.
This would be a nightmare for a leftist/socialist that want nothing more then open full the land doors for the refugees/gold diggers and want to appease muslims

Hell, you never heard of the "Gold Rush"? Nobody in America wants to appease muslims apart from the Saudis because they are and have always been "Strategic Partners"

The flaw in Chomsky's conclusion is that it's all based on allusion and innuendo. I can see why the Left would get the talking points and applaud, but without the Left's unacknowledged bigotry towards the Right, the connections drawn are just not apparent. The mechanics of the argument: 6 minutes of red herrings with nothing tangible proven or said. Very disappointing for a man of his former stature.
Everything Chomsky said about Trump, we can pretty much expect the same from the Democratic nominee. Except Chomsky doesn't like to talk about all the shitty things that Democrats do. Obamacare (affordable care act) has made healthcare more expensive for most people. And many people lost their doctors. Obama lied.

The issue is not Trump's grasp of global warming. The issue is Trump's emotional immaturity and his sheer ignorance of the U.S. Constitution and how the government functions. I think he has had a rather poor education.
+mberg1974 Clinton aims to add 500 million solar panels to the US energy sector. Trump denies the existence of human-made climate change. How can you equate these two?
+mberg1974 I agree, this is a bit ridiculous. The USA is not the biggest polluter (China is) and there is only so much Trump OR Hillary can do about it.
China is doing more about it than we are. They have a lower per capita carbon footprint, and only surpass us because they have so many people. America is falling behind in addressing climate change. it's embarrassing.
Nick Stegmeier And you believe the things she says in her campaign? Really? She seems like a trustworthy person to you?

Chomsky has a Paul Ehrlich vibe when it comes to global warming. Paul was so certain of the population increase “problem” that he called it the “population bomb” bc he viewed the increasing population as hazardous and guaranteed as a bomb. That aged like milk for paul, and many of chomskys ideas outlined here will age similarly.
I wondered if Chomsky thinks all Americans are morons.... I respect his achievement in life, but his service to humanity has been largely serve to divide and not come together as a nation. Having a letter after one's name dosn't mean thier contribution is positive, and often people who follow people such as Chomsky's ideology have yet to weigh in other side's arguments: remmeber: a sitck is never one-ended! Most ivory-tower academics have been educated beyond beyond thier intellect, which seems sanitize them of all common senses.

+dkmeller1 Capitalists owning all the means and having total control over the rest of the population doesn't sound too appealing. Try Libertarian Socialism.
+dkmeller1 Is this some sort of strange joke? Capitalism always sees capital focused into the hands of a small group of people, creating a capitalist elite. As money is power, these capitalists have power over the powerless. With no government, this power is absolute as mega-corps can literally form militaries to maintain control. Capitalism leads to what is essentially an "absolute monarchy". In response to your strange critique of libertarian socialism, I think your understanding of what it stands for is wrong. We are people who are sceptical of hierarchy, like the state and the workplace, where the government and the bosses have unjust power. All this means is that we don't want a government and that workers should all equally and democratically own their work. I am really not sure how you came up with the idea that under socialism, everybody owns each other. The whole society and the individual communities is based on voluntary human relationships. No human is 'owned'.
Allyson Jayne LMAO - So what! You think I give a fuck if you call me a socialist. USA would be far better off with a socialist system than the oligarchy we have been working with to date. Finland for example, has one of the highest standards of living in the world, best education system (free) and 100% literacy (compare to USA 36M adults with sub-3rd grade literacy - lmao). Only teatard/trumpies get hysterical about Socialism. Finland and many other eastern European countries trend socialist and they have some of the best quality of living in the world, a successful middle class and they value EQUALITY very highly. I want to stay in America long enough to make it misserable for broken, old shit buckets like you. LMAOOO
The other Republicans may be more dangerous than Trump; they appear more sane and they can work more effectively to advance the Republican economic and environmental agenda.
I can't believe that someone as savvy as he is, would claim the POTUs has the power in this country that is in the hands of the chairmen of the committees in the Senate.How can he be frightened by one man or woman ?

Deadpool The Valiant that's a media smear trick. It's obvious Trump doesn't hate women calling Rosie Odonald a fat pig doesn't mean you hate women that is stupid. Hillary hates everyone.

The Neocons were bad enough with their wars in the Middle East. These people want to go after Russia and China. Vote Trump if you have any sense. He is at least the less of two evils.

India built the longest border fence in the world--with Bangladesh--to keep poor Muslim refugees out. And the world didn't end because of it. In fact, hardly anyone ever talks about it these days. So let's not get carried away and say Trump's talk is crazy talk from a madman on the wall issue. Others have done it in the past and will in the future.
+Timothy Roper No, no, it is not for that. I am from the neighboring state of West Bengal of India. We accepted millions of Banladeshi refugees during war( when Bangladesh got liberation from Pakistan with the help of India.) That was so huge that crippled the economy of the state for a decade. They still come in huge numbers. The fence was to prevent terrorist activity. Bangladesh has problems with terrorist organization like Jamat(branch of Laskar-e-toiba), we do not want that in India. It just like what Turkey does as they border Syria.
+Timothy Roper If you get a chance, watch John Oliver's take on the border wall. A couple of things: 1) We already have a fence and a river. 2) For various reasons, the fence can't always run alongside the river, so there is usually a few hundred yards of someone's personal property which is split in half by the fence. There is actually a golf course in this no-man's land. To get to the golf course, people have to drive through the fence. 3) The fence does absolutely zero benefit at keeping people and contraband out of the US. 4) The cost of a wall will be ~$35 billion with about the same amount added every year to our spending for maintenance.

Ironically, Trump was the only GOP candidate who suggested working with Russia instead of antagonizing it. The rest of the mentally challenged candidates thumped their chests, (even Carla Fiorini), and rattled their impotent sabres and you can add to that Hillary's known servile hawkishness. So if you don't want to be the smartest Liberal on the cinder, you should vote Trump.
+Empire of Chaoy has trump done that? Because putin jerked him off. Don't you see how he operates? Anyone who praises him gets trump's defense. He even defended putin killing journalists. on the other hand, anyone who insults him is automatically a bad guy. Don't you see how easily someone like that is manipulated? Putin praises him because he knows trump is an idiot who doesn't understand foreign policy and won't listen to advisors. He surrounds himself with yes men. That is scary shit. How do you not see this?
+Empire of Chaos At least we are having a mostly cordial discussion in contrast to the "adult" GOP presumptive nominee. Merely suggesting "working with Russia" will accomplish little to nothing except for Putin pouncing on such a statement to proclaim Trump the "absolute leader" (see google: US and Russia working together). Putin, of course, modified what working together means, saying that such a partnership extended to ISIS and Syria. Putin is aware of the problems Russia potentially has with its large Muslim population and wants nothing more than to clamp down and defeat all militant Muslims. But relations with Russia have been, and always will be, dicey at best. The Crimea, Ukraine, Iran, Russia's petrostate status, the corruption in the Russian Government, Putin's reliance on "systema", the crashing ruble, all presage continuing problems that threaten any attempt to "work with" Putin. Perestroika and glasnost went only so far. A good read on present day Russia is in the current bi-monthly issue of Foreign Affairs. Sanctions over the Crimean and Ukrainian affairs have further compromised the Russian economy. Perhaps you would want a President Trump to lift sanctions in the hope of "working together" in the future? I would think that would be counterproductive and would only further embolden Putin. As for the hawkishness of all who sought the nomination this cycle, they really are not very different in their approach. Liberals or Democrats, in general, seem to have been moving to the right on the issue of our military power and its uses. Obama has conducted a Yuge drone campaign with barely a whisper from the traditional Left. His promises to extricate us from foreign entanglements in Afghanistan and Iraq have gone by the wayside, and we could have a Yuge discussion about what happened in Iraq and the birth of ISIS, but that is fodder for another day. We have spun to the East and China in an effort to trade with/contain that country, both economically and militarily. (Don't you just love their building of islands in the Indian Ocean to further the reach of their navy?) So really, it's not a question of being the smartest liberal sitting on his duff, or the dumbest liberal in the same position, or the smartest conservative, or leftist, or tea partier, or independent. It's whether our electorate can extract enough information from Trump or Clinton as to their foreign policy positions (with a little more clarity that just saying that we will kick ISIS's ass or we'll make America great again, or you'll "love it, I promise you"), their economic positions and all the other important issues facing our Country. And, by the way - what does Make America Great Again really mean. It's like a slogan on a license plate. Trump, the license plate candidate. When did America stop being great? Was it when Bush 2 was elected? Obama? Clinton 1? Carter? If were are no longer great, where would Trump chose to live so that he could be a citizen of a great country?
They said all of these things about Reagan, the sky will fall etc etc etc. The sky won't fall and America might get a non-suicidal foreign policy. Also, Trump is the only candidate who is not a politician. I am surprised that people defend one of the most despised classes in society. Ah, well.
+Empire of Chaos that is total bs...Trump like all politicians faces no issues .......He says he will not do what he says necessarily . He deflects questions and issues. And, why work with Russia when we already are ?.....Daily Russia bombs ISIS as do we, the US.....Nothing new... And your word liberal means nothing today.......Absolutely nothing.....Especially when the status of America is actually 1% the filthy rich, 99% the others.......And the 1% run the country fiscal policy today.....and do not give a crap about the other real americans. So what are you....? And what "most despised classes in society" are you talking about ? Mexicans or the poor ? or what ?
Clearly you need some instruction on foreign policy, I suggest "The Grand Chessboard"-ZB or even the CFR magazine, for those without book reading stamina. US foreign policy is heading for the abyss. Enjoy.

Well spotted!
That's a good one!
Straight ventriloquist babyyy
Devilthunda A ventriloquist, to be sure!
Well hes a linguist after all
Noam Chomsky, not just one of the most respected public intellectuals of our lifetime, not just one of the most important linguists of his lifetime, not just a philosopher and historian, but the best damn vantriloquist I have ever seen.
That's a good one :)
Nicely done.
he speaks the truth of the situations in the world. I wish more people listen to him
HA! hilarious!
So, what are your reasons?
it's a shame that most mainstream media tend to ignore Chomsky..a truly amazing guy who talks about the real issues that the media don't want u to know bout
Its not by accident, since 1971 Wallstreets , military industrial complex , US chamber of commerce fortune 500 corporations, megawealthy elites ,oligarchy have completely hijacked our government country and lives, they own, control and know everything we see,hear and read. Chomsky a intellectual and scholar has been blacklisted and is on a very short leash, those that stray , lose their livelyhood politicians / media figures included. All critical dissent has been silenced .As a result Americans have become the most uninformed controlled,brainwashed people on the planet.
Because he is inconvenient!
a few, like 150+
What are you talking about? Mainstream media does not ignore Chomsky, everyone ignores Chomsky. Nobody wants to listen to a guy who doesn't have a developed ideology.
No shit. He exposes how they operate.
Noam Chomsky isn't talking like the candidates, he speaks about facts but then that isn't what people want to hear in the a US.
I'm from the US and I want to hear the facts but I hear what you are saying.
+Dymogrom China might be the country with the biggest pollution output but the USA is next on the list. You may also want to make yourself aware of the fact that a great many western companies take advantage of cheap labour in China therefore China inherits the pollution that would otherwise be domestically located. Deforestation is a big problem too which puts Brazil next on the list but last time I checked MacDonalds is an American company and soy bean production in Brazil goes hand in hand with feeding those cattle on the cheap which causes further deforestation. We can trace all that back to the USA. I therefore suggest that the USA is responsible for a lot more pollution and environmental problems than they lay claim to. When the rainforests are tampered with on such an industrial scale this in turn is a major cause of the extinction of species at the rate Chomsky mentions (David Attenborough will tell you the same thing and that guy knows what the hell he's talking about).
You look at the surface but fail to see beneath it even at a fundamental level. Climate change is an issue predominantly forged by the 1st world. What Chomsky has to say is pretty much bang on the money here. To refute it is ignorance.
***** I thought it was you who was casting blame by singling out China. I wonder if you can answer this. How much of the pollution from China is as a direct result of them manufacturing goods for companies that are located elsewhere in the world?
*****
You want to see angry, go to a Trump rally...like say, the one in Chicago. Trump is your FRONT RUNNER. A repulsive, serial liar who has alienated almost every demographic except poorly educated white racists. That's your champion?!
Several countries have considered banning him. That psychopath is the champion for the populist conservatives.Don't tell ME that progressives are characterized by short fuses cause one person serves you your fat ass in a YT comment. ITS TEXT. Pretty minor compared to the divisive, racist conversation from the right and the regular assaults that occur at Trump Rallys.

+Dymogrom An amazingly temperate reply!
I can't believe that so many people that love Chomsky, voted for Trump. How can you love someone so much and completely misunderstand their words.
Voting for Drumpf is like asking an arsonist to help you put out a fire!
Cool dude
I ran into Noam at a Social Distortion one time. I said, "What are you doing here"? He said, "Fuckin' rockin' out duuuuudddde"! And then poured beer over his chest and dove into the crowd. He is a man of many interests.
I hear he once played maracas with Hendrix at the Café Wha? in '66 too. He is a thinking man's Gump! Turned Rock Hudson onto amyl poppers... This could go on all night.
Noam is indeed The Most Interesting Man in the World.
You are misremembering, Jack Frost. After Noam snorted, he blurted: "I said GOD DAMN. God Damn."
He has great taste when it comes to tattered, outstretched sweaters. I hear he drives an AMC Pacer too. With a "where's the beef "? bumper sticker.
Stormbringer Coming "What has he ever done?" If you're trolling, you're not funny, not even close. If you're for real, you're still not funny and you're ignorant beyond belief.
This is why Chomsky is so much smarter than the average liberal. At the very end he states that he believes Ted Cruz is much more dangerous. Most left-wing liberals and Democrats and most moderate Republicans have a hard time grasping that reality.
+ahpacific Yes, Cruz is truly scary because he not only matches Trump in arrogance, he has the religious fanaticism to drive him to do evil. I'm just glad he has the charisma of a whelk or we'd be calling him the next Hitler instead of Trump.
+ahpacific you're right... trump is just your common loud-mouthed idiot... kasich and cruz are far more stealthy about implementing their "true" agendas...
+ahpacific That's because most left-wing liberals and Democrats and most moderate Republicans haven't read Ted Cruz's program...
+boptillyouflop Or more to the point because they judge candidates based on their demeanor and the "feelings" or "vibes" they get from them.

well this aged nicely...
How so ?
It didn't though. Trump's presidency was less damaging than Obama or Bush. He was, despite all the crazy rhetoric - pretty tame.
I was looking to see if his predictions were correct. But as a trained academic, he qualified them with explicit assumptions, which in hindside didn't apply, so he wasn't wrong, but neither was he right.
@@dewok2706are you kidding? He has put a massive dent in the perception of our country and our national belief in democracy and the truth.

Before Trump became president, the amount of Americans that answered Yes to the question "Do you trust the American government and its institutions" was 22%. That is a 60% decline since the 1960s (was 82% yes). You are absolutely delusional if you are blaming Trump for what has been a massive civilizational decline of over 60 years

You guys must be delusional trump supporters. The reality is that he's one of the most intellectual people of our time. What he said is true. And according to the economic intelligent unit, A trump presidency is a top 10 global threat. I'm not American but if trump is elected, he will be your last president.
As sharp as a Saudi box cutter. Send all these people back to the desert.
Trump becoming POTUS is like the iceberg hitting the Titanic
It's already been struck and it has been sinking since nixon
I beg your pardon. It was the Titanic that hit the iceberg. Trump is the Titanic and that iceberg is going down. If not now, later. As well it should be.
Nixon haha; since the civil war when we removed the states the ability to voluntarily leave the union. It was gg then. Then again we were an empire from day 1, so the civil war was just a speed bump.

That's great & so true!! ROtflmao. I must quote on FB... :D
best comment here jenny well done
Maybe that's the point.
Trump was a great president and Chomsky does not know what he is talking about. How can an "intellectual" draw such a broad statement when he does not know Trump? And if he did he would know Trump is a man of his word. Chomsky continues to showcase that he is nothing but a talker rather than actual thinker.
Met an uber driver and said Trump is what the people need and that illegals should go back where they came from (he happened to be African American). I just laughed.
There are no African American unless he was born in Africa. Many consider this an insult to be call an AA. Isnt that racist? Maybe generations back he was from Africa. But havent we all been in Africa once upon the time? :)
We're all fucked if we don't fight climate change. Everything depends us on us beating it. The fact that the Republicans don't want to tackle this makes them insane.
+R. V.S. (Empty Sky) Of course the Republicans have a plan to address global warming. It's getting their end-times fingers on the Red Button... or make enemies of other nuclear armed states. Nuclear winter is certain to stop global warming in its tracks - and warfare is what we are more likely to get with any Republican in office than those coming from climate change.
+rudra62 Interesting theory. I like it!
+R. V.S. (Empty Sky) Pity it's pretty obvious that it's never going to happen, this concerted effort in many countries. Our politicians cannot implement long-term plans. They are in power for too short a time. Other than that we as humans can't stop making new wars , raping women, beheading journalists, organizing regime change,...
The obvious lesson is there will not ever be a concerted effort.
Our best bet is geo engineering, and/or some unforeseen invention (e.g. much better batteries) that allow us to create enough energy without producing extra greenhouse gasses.
SO logically what we have to do then mainly, is invest in research.
I'm all for conserving nature and wildlife, but not for a naive view of humanity, or for this idea of "fighting climate change". Like an ant fighting a cloud. If anything will save us, it is imo going to be technology, that is our main trick as humans, and it's what we've been doing ever since we took sticks in our hands, or mastered fire, ...
+R. V.S. (Empty Sky) It boggles the mind. Maybe they think that generous campaign contributions from oil companies will save the planet.
How come you don't call it 'global warming' anymore?
Is it because of the fact that it is a myth?
Are you going to stop 'climate change'?
O.K., ...then ...Stop it. ....?

More warriors on Chomsky's side of the equation.
Different skill-set. Academics are great at gathering and analyzing data. Politicians and leaders rally people into action. Sort of the difference between Spock and Kirk on *Star Trek*.
That said, Chomsky is the best commentator on politics I've ever encountered. But... Long-winded. Overly-detailed. And not easily simmered-down to sound-bite level (another failing of your typical Spock).
But spot-on if you've pay attention and follow his evidence and reasoning.
Rik V Chomsky is a revolutionary MIT linguist whose theory -- that grammaical structures are inborn -- has withstood scrutiny. He has advanced the science, rescuing it from lists of words and grammar rules to a data-driven science that observes developmental cognition through language acquisition..
In short, he's smart.
On the side, he uses his skills at uncovering and analyzing data to perform as a Public Intellectual. He leans left, no doubt. But you guys used to have smart people like Buckley -- though now your "intellectual" leaders are yellow partisans like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh. A considerable step down.
Which is exemplified by your "argument." Which consists of a silly, fact-free personal attack. Against a straw-man Chomsky that would destroy you in a real debate.
But, I will give you a chance.
I mean, do you have any documentary evidence that Chomsky hates his skin color? Or that his testicles were removed? Or that he advocates opening our borders (FYI -- I've read most of what he;s written. He doesn't.)
Or is this troll just typical low-information bluster?
haha u sound scared

Noam Chomsky just knows the facts and says them. The reason that is profound is because most people just bullshit nowadays. So enlightening to hear truth.
+Yonas Campbell Apparently a low voice makes what a person says increasingly valid. Not that I disagree with all of what he says. Didn't know Trump was a climate denier. Scary.
Guy regular Dude that's just factually incorrect. Look at Co2 levels in the atmosphere over the last million years. Watch an Al Gore documentary.
Tracee Jeen Yep, I know what you mean. I also think that he has the opinion that everyone is friendly in the world and if they aren't, it the fault of the US.
+Yonas Campbell
Chomsky is a liar. Even the co-founder of Green Peace no longer
believes in man made climate change. CO2 levels have been many
multiples higher than at present, and this was thousands of years before industrialization was even thought of. Mammals did just fine, and an added bonus is that plant life also thrived. In fact, plant life serves as a negative feed back loop for CO2 levels.
None of the actual data (Ted Cruz trounced Aaron Mair in front of a
Senate committee on just this topic) shows a rise in temperatures except for an anomaly of a warm winter here and there with temperatures returning to normal once that unusual high pressure breaks down. In fact, this happened in my area. We had 3 winters with near record high temperatures nearly every day, but that was because of a stubborn high pressure which caused the jet stream to flow father north. It kept all the cold air in Canada. The 4th winter and we had the normal pattern of low pressure areas, which caused the jet stream to flow father south and allowed the cold air from Canada in. Temperatures returned to normal.

Who would be the better leader and make the USA prosperous again. Who would actually have an opinion based on fact and not dictated by controllers. Who would have enough common sense and courage to do the job? I'm NOT saying we need to elect communists... but we do need to have leaders that represent the majority of people. My guess is all this will happen the hard way. Much blood will spill unless we can come up with a way to prevent it!!
+Thomas Dobyns what's wrong with communism ? I'm all for it. a totalitarium government is NOT communism. It is disguised fascism, and I am NOT for that. I guess Socialism is the best word.
+ted norton What we have now is a totalitarian, fascist police state. People support our government out of ignorance of the changes and refusal to see the changes (love of GOD and country?), or out of fear. My guess would be that the NSA monitors me and probably most in this room. What freedom of speech? Our constitution is dead. Our voting rights are of non-effect and represent nothing more than a ceremony expected. The government represents the supply side, big banks, and multinationals. If you think individuals have it bad, you should try small business... but, that's another story. Communism tries to make all people equal, which never has or never will work. In a fascist state, the important thing is the government. In a true democracy, the important thing is the people. No democracy has lasted over 200 years, ours included. I have bent over to kiss my ass goodby, but i'm not going to bury my head in the sand. At least I have no children.

If Trump becomes president, "We are in very deep trouble", says Chomsky. This is so true!
Voting for Trump would be the biggest case of electoral buyer's remorse since the German electorate in 1932.
My synopsis of the video:
Species destruction accelerating right now - global warming / climate change initiatives have been blocked by congressional Republicans. Trump outright denies the existence of climate change. Trump wants to violate international law by conducting torture at least equal to but preferably more severe than waterboarding.
People in Central America fleeing results of military coups and destructive policies spearheaded in part by the US. Global public opinion poll actually identified United States as greatest threat to world peace. Spectacle of Republican primary is frightening people around the world.
You can understand why some people in the US are flocking to Trump and rallying to his standard. Trump is kind of a wildcard, some things he says makes sense, some are crazy. US is a very powerful state; do we want a rash, impulsive, person with their finger on the (nuclear) button? Ted Cruz probably even more dangerous though.

Navy subs have to have confirmation from above and by 2 commanding officers, etc.. The Prez has to confirm with generals of The Joint Chiefs of Staff . Trump isn't trying to start a nuke war. He's trying to avoid one.

Having a letter after one's name dosn't mean thier contribution is positive, and often people who follow people such as Chomsky's ideology have yet to weigh in other side's arguments: remmeber: a sitck is never one-ended! Most ivory-tower academics have been educated beyond beyond thier intellect, which seems sanitize them of all common senses.

+dkmeller1 Capitalists owning all the means and having total control over the rest of the population doesn't sound too appealing. Try Libertarian Socialism.
+dkmeller1 Is this some sort of strange joke? Capitalism always sees capital focused into the hands of a small group of people, creating a capitalist elite. As money is power, these capitalists have power over the powerless. With no government, this power is absolute as mega-corps can literally form militaries to maintain control. Capitalism leads to what is essentially an "absolute monarchy". In response to your strange critique of libertarian socialism, I think your understanding of what it stands for is wrong. We are people who are sceptical of hierarchy, like the state and the workplace, where the government and the bosses have unjust power. All this means is that we don't want a government and that workers should all equally and democratically own their work. I am really not sure how you came up with the idea that under socialism, everybody owns each other. The whole society and the individual communities is based on voluntary human relationships. No human is 'owned'.

LMAO - So what! You think I give a fuck if you call me a socialist. USA would be far better off with a socialist system than the oligarchy we have been working with to date. Finland for example, has one of the highest standards of living in the world, best education system (free) and 100% literacy (compare to USA 36M adults with sub-3rd grade literacy - lmao).
Only teatard/trumpies get hysterical about Socialism.
Finland and many other eastern European countries trend socialist and they have some of the best quality of living in the world, a successful middle class and they value EQUALITY very highly. I want to stay in America long enough to make it misserable for broken, old shit buckets like you. LMAOOO

The other Republicans may be more dangerous than Trump; they appear more sane and they can work more effectively to advance the Republican economic and environmental agenda.

Deadpool The Valiant that's a media smear trick. It's obvious Trump doesn't hate women calling Rosie Odonald a fat pig doesn't mean you hate women that is stupid. Hillary hates everyone. She just acts like she is some kind of savior. If she wins we are fucked. We will be at war with Russia. Obama already has that started. The Neocons were bad enough with their wars in the Middle East. These people want to go after Russia and China. Vote Trump if you have any sense. He is at least the less of two evils.
Such an amazing intellectual. One of the few people on Earth who dares to say the truth. Bravo, Mr. Chomsky!

And he proved to be correct...
Yeah pretty much!

OwlsEyelash If Americans want cheap labor, they'll bring in Mexicans legally. Canada does it. well, that is a good question, but maybe its better to consume less and get things that are better quality. Also, there won't be a transportation cost. Things will still come from China, just less.

Well, it appears Chomsky was right on that one so far.
Jesus... he's so on point, even before the facts. I'm wondering 'how much time he needs' to evaluate a person to make these analysis..
These comments defending Trump are how dangerous he is to humanity. Good thing not one of y'all scare me in any way
@Danny Michelle Yes
He is all kinds of correct on this one
+conor smith Of course he is. He is merely applying very rational clear-eyed analysis to current events. Nothing intellectual in his comments at all.
India built the longest border fence in the world--with Bangladesh--to keep poor Muslim refugees out. And the world didn't end because of it. In fact, hardly anyone ever talks about it these days. So let's not get carried away and say Trump's talk is crazy talk from a madman on the wall issue. Others have done it in the past and will in the future.
+Timothy Roper yeah so did china to keep mongol out and look at it now. its the wonder of the world attracting people all over.
+Timothy Roper No, no, it is not for that. I am from the neighboring state of West Bengal of India. We accepted millions of Banladeshi refugees during war( when Bangladesh got liberation from Pakistan with the help of India.) That was so huge that crippled the economy of the state for a decade. They still come in huge numbers. The fence was to prevent terrorist activity. Bangladesh has problems with terrorist organization like Jamat(branch of Laskar-e-toiba), we do not want that in India. It just like what Turkey does as they border Syria.
+Timothy Roper If you get a chance, watch John Oliver's take on the border wall. A couple of things:
1) We already have a fence and a river.
2) For various reasons, the fence can't always run alongside the river, so there is usually a few hundred yards of someone's personal property which is split in half by the fence. There is actually a golf course in this no-man's land. To get to the golf course, people have to drive through the fence.
3) The fence does absolutely zero benefit at keeping people and contraband out of the US.
4) The cost of a wall will be ~$35 billion with about the same amount added every year to our spending for maintenance.

Jimbo Morisson
Chomp could you send me some global warming right now? It's 18 degrees F here and I don't even want to go outside. You just gave all of the reasons why I voted for Donald Trump.
Ironically, Trump was the only GOP candidate who suggested working with Russia instead of antagonizing it.
The rest of the mentally challenged candidates thumped their chests, (even Carla Fiorini), and rattled their impotent sabres and you can add to that Hillary's known servile hawkishness.
So if you don't want to be the smartest Liberal on the cinder, you should vote Trump.
+Empire of Chaoy has trump done that? Because putin jerked him off. Don't you see how he operates? Anyone who praises him gets trump's defense. He even defended putin killing journalists. on the other hand, anyone who insults him is automatically a bad guy. Don't you see how easily someone like that is manipulated? Putin praises him because he knows trump is an idiot who doesn't understand foreign policy and won't listen to advisors. He surrounds himself with yes men. That is scary shit. How do you not see this?
+Empire of Chaos At least we are having a mostly cordial discussion in contrast to the "adult" GOP presumptive nominee. Merely suggesting "working with Russia" will accomplish little to nothing except for Putin pouncing on such a statement to proclaim Trump the "absolute leader" (see google: US and Russia working together). Putin, of course, modified what working together means, saying that such a partnership extended to ISIS and Syria. Putin is aware of the problems Russia potentially has with its large Muslim population and wants nothing more than to clamp down and defeat all militant Muslims. But relations with Russia have been, and always will be, dicey at best. The Crimea, Ukraine, Iran, Russia's petrostate status, the corruption in the Russian Government, Putin's reliance on "systema", the crashing ruble, all presage continuing problems that threaten any attempt to "work with" Putin. Perestroika and glasnost went only so far. A good read on present day Russia is in the current bi-monthly issue of Foreign Affairs. Sanctions over the Crimean and Ukrainian affairs have further compromised the Russian economy. Perhaps you would want a President Trump to lift sanctions in the hope of "working together" in the future? I would think that would be counterproductive and would only further embolden Putin. As for the hawkishness of all who sought the nomination this cycle, they really are not very different in their approach. Liberals or Democrats, in general, seem to have been moving to the right on the issue of our military power and its uses. Obama has conducted a Yuge drone campaign with barely a whisper from the traditional Left. His promises to extricate us from foreign entanglements in Afghanistan and Iraq have gone by the wayside, and we could have a Yuge discussion about what happened in Iraq and the birth of ISIS, but that is fodder for another day. We have spun to the East and China in an effort to trade with/contain that country, both economically and militarily. (Don't you just love their building of islands in the Indian Ocean to further the reach of their navy?) So really, it's not a question of being the smartest liberal sitting on his duff, or the dumbest liberal in the same position, or the smartest conservative, or leftist, or tea partier, or independent. It's whether our electorate can extract enough information from Trump or Clinton as to their foreign policy positions (with a little more clarity that just saying that we will kick ISIS's ass or we'll make America great again, or you'll "love it, I promise you"), their economic positions and all the other important issues facing our Country. And, by the way - what does Make America Great Again really mean. It's like a slogan on a license plate. Trump, the license plate candidate. When did America stop being great? Was it when Bush 2 was elected? Obama? Clinton 1? Carter? If were are no longer great, where would Trump chose to live so that he could be a citizen of a great country?
They said all of these things about Reagan, the sky will fall etc etc etc.
The sky won't fall and America might get a non-suicidal foreign policy.
Also, Trump is the only candidate who is not a politician.
I am surprised that people defend one of the most despised classes in society.
Ah, well.
+Empire of Chaos that is total bs...Trump like all politicians faces no issues .......He says he will not do what he says necessarily . He deflects questions and issues. And, why work with Russia when we already are ?.....Daily Russia bombs ISIS as do we, the US.....Nothing new... And your word liberal means nothing today.......Absolutely nothing.....Especially when the status of America is actually 1% the filthy rich, 99% the others.......And the 1% run the country fiscal policy today.....and do not give a crap about the other real americans. So what are you....? And what "most despised classes in society" are you talking about ? Mexicans or the poor ? or what ?
Clearly you need some instruction on foreign policy, I suggest "The Grand Chessboard"-ZB or even the CFR magazine, for those without book reading stamina.
US foreign policy is heading for the abyss.
