    What’s wrong with Manufacturing Consent ? I found it very insightful on how the US has been doing all kinds of shit that they keep accusing everyone else of. It’s also helpful in recognising the same patterns in other media and other countries.

      Chomsky is paid opposition, to deliver a softer message. He was also friend with Epstein.

        And Chomsky admitted that he didn’t have much of a hand in writing it either

            That fact doesn’t exactly add any credibility to it and just underlines it was promoted over Parenti superior work by attaching the nonces best pals name to it

        Genuine question, what is the evidence that he was paid opposition?

          Chomsky is paid opposition

          I would like to know too. Having bad takes and not the most radical analysis doesnt make one paid opposition. There is a reddit thread that discusses a longer article that tries to proof that exact statement and IMO fails doing exactly that.

      They’re not saying anything is wrong with it, just that there’s even better stuff. Insert “look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme.

        Yeah I know about that, but I’m talking about the book itself and the ideas inside
