Mass people can change the world, Chomsky gives as the tools

camilivel says:

of course they can. it is the only thing that ever has. but how many people
do you know who take interest in policies – domestic and international? and
take a stand and then an action on it?

This man is a legend. Sometimes you need a figurehead like Chomsky at the
front of popular movements to inspire later generations to look at their
history a bit deeper, especially in this “information age”. Youngsters are
much more clued up about the internet that adults want to believe and if we
can get people like Chomsky into their field of vision I think we could
inspire whole new generations of people.

I consider myself just a normal person 1:47 and Noam has helped me
understand the world with more clarity than any government or parliament
could ever do.

Man is born to be free and independent!! Dont let anybody tell you
otherwise!

camilivel says:

no, really?? but of course, the objectif of governements and parliaments is
not to make you know and understand the world but to manipulate you into
believing their policies are good and that “you should” support them. even
when they’re starting wars = killing people in your name!?!

EclecticSceptic says:

Chomsky is a hero – not a tawdry hero who slays dragons, or who is
emblazoned in some historical fiction but – a man who has laboured
tirelessly his adult life to edify people, and expose the crimes of the
powerful, in the most important way, to help free humanity from violence
and control. I acknowledge a great debt to Noam, and I think the onus is on
us to continue his legacy with the same intrepidity and perseverance.

I was looking for this clip forever!
