You can show them this and their claim is finished.

Lol, I've actually been listening to Chomsky for hours on end in my spare time while playing video games, so pretty ironic to see this posted here.

But if there's anything I've taken away from his lectures on American politics, its that the US is basically ran by major corporations, that all of the last 10 presidents have been utter as*holes, and that the mainstream media is propagandized in such a way as to put the state in the most favorable light possible, no matter the facts of the situation.

So... that's pretty depressing :cry:

Chomsky makes a lot of very good points.

I listen to him while working.

It is depressing, but we have to keep trying to change things.
