    Be it Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Mongolian or xyz ...Regardless, we all want the same rotten privilege and consumer class joys just like the Americans. Thats globalisation. Chomsky explains it so clearly ...
    PS. Classical Muzak to make things so much more serious.

      That's not Muzak, it's a clip from Mendelssohn's Octet. It's beautiful in its entirety.

    24:45 Not quite. China was never officially colonized by the West, and Chiang Kaishek was not a puppet ruler. Chiang was allied with the U.S. and allowed some foreign influence, but it’s incorrect to say China was ever “colonized.” Maybe it was just a slip of tongue.

      Correct, he probably considers the western settlements established after the opium wars as colonization.

    It's Sept 2022 and East Asian Americans need to leave the cities if they can. They will be much safer living near conservative, rural or suburban poor/middle class whites.
    Conservative isnt a necessity.
    My point is that small town, middle Americans are extremely welcoming to East Asians

      I don't really find what you say to be the case...Chomsky is the one who's being interviewed so he is the one responding to the questions.

      Very wrong about Latin America and blaming its blatant lack of success and mediocrity on US intervention. Not to say the US hasn’t intervened or that it continues to exert economic pressure but the latter is part of politics - kind of like when the federal government exerts economic pressure on states to accept a 21 year old drinking age or seatbelts. But places like Latin America are full of rampant corruption and nepotism- that’s the true source of their mediocrity. Very easy to blame the US for absolutely everything that’s wrong in the world without looking further.
      Also I highly doubt his statement on how traditional peasants are more productive than high-tech industrialized agrobusiness. I’d like to see his support on this point because it sounds wrong but who knows.

      @@B10Esteban you need to read Open Veins of Latin America because you don't know what you're talking about. you're just being racist. its always easer to be a racist than to learn about history.

      @@Panta8472 I’ve read it, you need to read PILA by Vargas Llosa. Although I’m not sure if you’re willing to reason and allow other ideas to roam through your head based on the fact that you immediately pulled the “racist” card. That’s perhaps the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen. I’m Latin American btw and I’m brown ( not that it even matters) but perhaps it’ll suffice to force you to make an argument instead of just yelling “rrrrrracism!” At the top of your lungs.
