Great job Chris. Long ago Chomsky was a big influence on me as well as Howard Zinn and people like Parenti. Over the last couple of decades you have become as powerful an influence on me as these men. I consider you a national treasure And I want to thank you.
My favourite professors from whom I learn virtually every day. Chomsky, Chris Hitchens. Richard Wolf , Chris Harris , Chris Hedges., Richard Dawkins ect etc. Special thanks to George Carlin and Jon Stewart. I missed out on tertiary education but at 75yrs old through no fault of my own. However over the years I have educated myself (auto didact ) through the collective wisdom of your masterful minds. THANK YOU.💙💙💙👍👍👍You are truly God's gift to HUMANITY.
I fail to see how the Russian invasion of Ukraine does not compare to Vietnam or Iraq. All three are imperialistically driven atrocities and the only variable left unknown is how the struggle for Ukraine's freedom will end.
The fact of China has changed the design. I am grateful to Professor Noam Chomsky for his sharing and commitment. Thanks for inviting Professor Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky has a Masonic handler. If true or not Tri Lateral Commission papers are mentioned in a lecture I listened to last night. Something is going on. I have my beliefs on what it is and where it's going but if Religion can divide intellectuals then ask yourself what is true and defend it. Life will be taken from you in a blind moment
This reminds me of one of the EU parliament ministers calling the EU (and the U and S) a 'garden' and the rest of the word 'a jungle'. Clare Daley (Irish EU minister) had a a great response to that. Thank you, Chris for bringing the legendary Noam to speak out. Bessings to Noam.
The Irish are the most progressive people in the world. They’re right wing is our progressives. Its from over 900 years of fighting the British Empire.
I saw that… how grotesque… it was High Representative Josep Borell. The true hideous face of empire showed itself. He said the gardeners should go out to the jungle and tend to them… Clary and Mick are extremely rare in the European Parliament
There’s a joke in the USA(with the intellectuals) that when the USA tells the UK to jump, Uk says “How hi”. The Brits still believe they have an empire. Fact that The British empire died at the end of WW1.

Always the pursuit of truth. Not an easy job in a world of lyes. To be liquid is a blessing. Navigating mankind is a full time job . Balance does help. Wisdom is worth the pursuit.

Frances; In My opinion modern people live in a structure of information best described as the same structure of a onion: Layers upon layers of lies and propaganda. And even in the core of that onion nothing else than Lies and propaganda can be found. Thats why i respect people like Noam and Chris so much. They scan the facts from all aspects. Then they make their conclutions and bravely presents them to their audiences. It takes a lot of courage. And time. Humanity can only move forward if a platform of truth exists.
@@hansmarheim7620 I agree 100%. I have gained so much from both Noam & Chris, two gifts to humanity. I also am a proud student of Thom Hartmann. Lee Camp, Abby Martin, Amy Goodman, Randi Rhodes are factually credible and exposing nefarious agendas. I also follow Dr. Cornel West, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Joe Madison, and Jane Elliott. I believe a handful in Congress are true public servants with Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Rep. Katie Porter at the top of that list. It's shameful to =the onslaught and constant barrage of deception, gaslighting, projection, fear mongering, and raw hatred that fills the airwaves. It's difficult to know what to believe. Trump didn't create the environment, but he single handedly catapulted his pathological lies to become an acceptable societal norm. He is a menace to society! Full stop! I pray for the future of humanity, the planet, and American democracy, as they all are currently hanging in the balance as I see it. Thank you so much for your response. Much respect, love & light! Frances
Noam has written extensively on various subjects that remain relevant at all times. He will continue to educate and enlighten many generations yet unborn. Thank you Noam, and thank you Chris, for educating the enlightened world.
So GOOD to see Norm! Thanks, Chris, for bringing him on! Chris and Norm are two most awesome white men who don't bite their tongues when its comes to How Bad our Rotten and corrupt government IS!
Noam is one of the greatest humans ever not just because of his non-pareil brilliance and amazing range of information but primarily because of his uncompromising integrity, profundity of fellow-feeling, implacable commitment to fight injustice and aggression, and modesty
Chris ; as brilliant as he is, I’m sure he’s still in awe of Noam’s retrospection of these important historical events . Noam’s still as sharp as a whipped sniper . This has been a pleasure , thanks so much Gentlemen: I’m waiting with bated breath for part 2.
I met Howard Zinn once, at the Newton Library. I was in the DVD section, holding a Steven Seagal flick in one hand and, by sheer coincidence, Matt Damon's narration of The People's History in the other. Over my shoulder, someone says: "Go with the Seagal flick. Zinn's a windbag." It was Howard, and his self-effacing humor. I miss him forever.
Said I’d NEVER watch anything with Noam again after his insane and unhinged statement on how the un jabbed should be treated but I trust and respect Chris enough to watch this one.
I ❤NOAM CHOMSKY. I ❤CHRIS HEDGES for their consistency and dedication to truth telling whether anyone in power listens AND OR RESPONDS PROACTIVELY or not. (C) VernonNickersonSchoolcoach 2022. All RIGHTS RESERVED.
Good interview 👍 Only the other day I saw a book on Amazon critical of Howard Zinn, the book claimed Zinn distorted history, confused me because I really liked his book. Glad after positive reviews I took a look at the negative. The interview helps me understand better, it's mostly liberals who attack him. Thank you Chris.
Noam Chomsky, among others, has helped me understand that I am a citizen of the American empire. His point seems to be that human empires would like to think they have their distinctive virtues, but they do not. I had to chuckle at his comment that he will not be interviewed by NPR, but he did not give a particular reason for that. Would it have anything to do with the length of his monologues? Which is also to say that RUclips and forums such as the Chris Hedges Report, provide a wider audience access to presentations that can go to the necessary length to establish sound arguments. For that I am grateful to both of these gentlemen. I will say I drew hope for the American empire that it appears that both of these men were speaking from some place of relative safety within America, that they were not speaking from prison, nor did they pronounce their intention to leave the jurisdiction of the empire. Enjoy the peace?
Even when I admired him and hung on his words, I found him a terribly boring speaker and would rather read his material than hear it from his mouth. I dont admire him anymore and he is more boring than ever to me.
Long live Noam Chomsky!!. Embraced Noam as a linguist since the late 60's & evolved & grew with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zin and well as a few other unpopular voices of critical acclaim, all who spoke so eloquently humble, sensible & true to their own words without ego or a soapbox pulpit to spew drivel from. & all being the unsung heroes of my formative years in the late 60's onward to this day. The truth never hurts anyone, that's unless evermore promises of lies feels good & sounds great to those particular anyones. God knows we have been infused, overdosed and over stimulated with lies, deceit, divisiveness and blatantly obscene over- the- top greed ever since Ronald Reagan, the infamous B rated Death Valley Days Hollywood Cowboy & his Screen Guilded Squares entered the pre- Orwellian scene back in 1980 & reigned supreme over those minds who thrived off being pawns of mass deception, worshipping that boot strap cowboy & dear leader of some delusional free world fantasy, before, during and after the long Cold War. Afghanistan broke the Soviets back in the late 1980's and in turn the long Afghanistan & Iraq wars broke the US's exhausted mind and empty pocketbook a decade later , Especially after losing a war/conflict & so much coveted national trea$ure plus active duty military personal (as well as the untold lives of so many Vietnamese civilians) in the Vietnam Conflict just 20 some years before.. And then finally again in Afghanistan where the point was proven to the warmongering world that beyond the shadow of any doubt, Afghanistan is the place where empires have always gone to die. Hopefully with those harsh decades of experiencing long losing streaks the free world may realize that nobody actually wins at war anymore. The calvary is not coming soon and will not be there to save anyone. Despite their geopolitical positions & beliefs China and Russia were once our allies not so long ago. Being raised in the "duck and cover" paranoia era of the 1950's & 60's, where we were told that the Russians and Chinese will invade our country take our hot dogs and hamburgers away and make us eat cold Russian soup and stale bread, or fish heads and rice (on the west coast) was the common threat from the pinko commie fear propaganda machine, a fear infused world that children in my generation had to endure and some even believed.
gosh you're lucky - I hope you find/found the talk interesting and valuable Just sometimes being in the presence of a good person is enough to rub a bit of salve to a disturbed soul.
so depressing to hear mr chomsky calling for those who refused to take the now discredited injections. no jab no job etc..to be excluded from society or have we conveniently forgotten ..i d like to hear him explain that now
You are wrong. Vaccinations have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Look at the difference in death rates between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
To be "excluded from society" - is that a quote? If not can you provide some evidence for your accusation? A false accusation is just that - one with no evidence.
@@tommartin4199 "they should have the decency to remove themselves from society" - yes that is no different than required vaccines for school attendance. The first mandatory vaccine was in the 1850s for Smallpox. If you don't want to study the science on Covid then that's your problem. I read "sci-hub" so I can read the science behind the paywall - the person who made that website has to be in hiding so we can read science for free. Yet you choose willful ignorance at her expense of having to be in hiding. That's what's depressing! Noam Chomsky as an elderly person has a 13 times increase of death from Covid with 80% of the deaths as the elderly. If you don't stand up for the elderly then who is next? Just as the saying goes against the nazis - first they came for the union activists but you did nothing... First Covid came for the elderly but you did nothing....
Peace is the way forward. At least we should show some respect to each other if we can't show or love. I have met people from all over the world of different colours and races and feel so privileged to have met these people. So struggle to understand why people carry so much indifference to the next man.
People are tribal. People fear death or destitution. The predator class knows this and twists the knife of prejudice into the masses so that they may HATE one another. Divide, Distract, Devolve peoples mentality. That’s there goal, and so the narrowness of peoples experience, due to circumstance in and beyond their control, makes for narrow perspective. A toxic brew of xenophobia, or class regression phobia aids in this whole process. A MASS FORMATION hypnosis then can siege an seize a population as what happened during the COVID scare and mass manipulation which made the rich richer and everyone else poorer.
Remember Attorney , linguist & revolutionary the great Paul Robeson. Robeson was as much an intellectual as Chomsky. The imperialists never touched a hair on Chomsky’s head. Robeson was persecuted & tortured in a tremendous way.
@@ericmacrae6871 Paul Robeson was a athlete, Singer, Actor(Shakespearean trained) human rights activist and outspoken critic of The US Government treatment of Black people. He did support The former Soviet Union, but he was on the same level as WEB DuBois. I am a little taken a back by the fact that you do not know who Paul Robeson was. One of the greatest Americans our country has ever produced.
It should be mandatory that every American listen with both ears open to this absolutely brilliant and peaceful man. I found him just a few years ago. Everything he says is factual. Some don't like it. Most dont like it. Thats why the stupid corrupt system will never change. Strides have been made. But I won't live to see a peaceful world. Sad
I have to thank you Chris. Through your books, which I greatly admire, I was introduced to Chomsky (and also Wolin) whose work I have now read as well.
Interesting to hear that the USA is considered the greatest threat to world peace by the majority of the world. Not surprised one bit knowing it wasn't published here. I'm one who has long felt that exact belief and a citizen residing in that part of North America. Always enjoy professor Chomsky's perspective knowledge. It's a national disgrace that so few of us will take the time to listen to this wonderful man.
Great interview. But Noam, trim your beard please. I have been following you for years. You are a pleasure to listen to and such an intellectual as is Mr Hedges
Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both the: (1) difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them. Though we need to educate (& learn) about all the nuance.
yes, that's the most important political distinction to make (people need to understand that ideologies are placed on a grid, with 2 axis not just 1): the modern day class struggle of our times is (vertical, meaning) up (authoritarian; regardless of left/right position) vs. down (civil libertarian; also called populist, which can include the whole spectrum of left/right within it)...(a traditional horizontal political spectrum of purely) left vs. right is a distraction nowadays, used by the top to divide/conquer the populace (working class), & keep them fighting with each other so they don't turn their anger towards the elites who are oppressing them...this distraction includes: wokeism, culture war issues, identity politics, social media, msm/current events, hollywood/celebrity/royals, & tabloid fodder
Unless you use subversive techniques, the ones who would need to learn about these things the most will never get these videos recommended, nor will they search for them on their own. That is the problem of the echo chamber
As unfortunate as it is Western Government in particular, with their social media, and so called free press have turned people inti cattle, and ship. No one dare to question any wrong doing, any lies, any propoganda. Is there much choice left among Media?? Can they step out of line?? Assange, and some others did, but what happen to them?????
why don't you do that instead of plastering every video with your order and i don't really get it,.. what you want is to clarify the difference between libertarian vs authoritarian, but i'm sure most people understand this difference already, intuitively. maybe we should aim much more at freeing ourselves from this very limiting, grind of competitive mindset(s) and thinking in binary boxes/teams so much in the first place, & how this distorts and affects everything. i dunno 🌐✊
@@aerobique I would share if you were genuinely interested. But you’re just being rude to me here. I wasn’t rude to you. Please don’t respond to me in the future- I’d really appreciate if you didn’t. Best of luck.
It would be interesting to see Professor Chomsky's take on "rewriting history" as it seems to happen almost daily in Ukraine about the day before. Even deleting tweets or burying them could be considered a rewrite of sort.
used to have tremendous respect for Noam Chomsky. That was before the interview where he said that those who remain unvaccinated should be segregated, saying that obtaining food after they had "the decency to remove themselves from the community" was their problem."
a society based on crime, lies, corruption, censorship and exceptionalism is doomed. the worst thing is that because of selfishness, it drags the whole world with its into the abyss
@Ndalach I will give you an example that is not. China. In China, it is forbidden by law that an individual can have a fortune of more than 100 million $ because no work is realistically worth more. If such a law existed in America, the Deep state would automatically be eliminated, and the people would live much better from corporate taxation. The tax on the rich in America was 95% in 1948, today it is 5%.
he has done that for 90 years so it's probably 2nd nature to him at this point. most people of those "dozen younger journalists" grew up with television, music, comics and a lot more distractions than noam
@@underwaterlady I would not give journalists who grew up with TV, comics, etc a free pass. Curiosity, digging to verify reports and to flesh out headlines should be basic true journalism.
So you argee with the stasi kicking in your door and dragging you off to a covid camp and sending your kids into care . That's what the master of wisdom wanted to happen to you
I wouldn’t have the critical perspective I have on our foreign policy and the inside the beltway consensus without having read Noam Chomsky’s books and listened to his speeches over the last 33 years.
I wish you had asked him about the medical intervention of the past 3 years, as he was one of my heroes who greatly disappointed many of us by scolding many of us who refused this intervention to give up our bodily autonomy to get the jab......I will always be a Noam sceptic from that day forward.

Frances; In My opinion modern people live in a structure of information best described as the same structure of a onion: Layers upon layers of lies and propaganda. And even in the core of that onion nothing else than Lies and propaganda can be found. Thats why i respect people like Noam and Chris so much. They scan the facts from all aspects. Then they make their conclutions and bravely presents them to their audiences. It takes a lot of courage. And time. Humanity can only move forward if a platform of truth exists.
@@hansmarheim7620 I agree 100%. I have gained so much from both Noam & Chris, two gifts to humanity. I also am a proud student of Thom Hartmann. Lee Camp, Abby Martin, Amy Goodman, Randi Rhodes are factually credible and exposing nefarious agendas.
I also follow Dr. Cornel West, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Joe Madison, and Jane Elliott. I believe a handful in Congress are true public servants with Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Rep. Katie Porter at the top of that list.
It's shameful to =the onslaught and constant barrage of deception, gaslighting, projection, fear mongering, and raw hatred that fills the airwaves. It's difficult to know what to believe. Trump didn't create the environment, but he single handedly catapulted his pathological lies to become an acceptable societal norm. He is a menace to society! Full stop!
I pray for the future of humanity, the planet, and American democracy, as they all are currently hanging in the balance as I see it.
Thank you so much for your response. Much respect, love & light! Frances
Thank you for your truthfulness
I could listen to Noam Chomsky for hours. Thank you Chris Hedges for doing such a great interview.
Ya me too but I’d probly up the speed to 1.5x 😂
@@greatmcluhansghost7134 dude is 94, not bad for his age
I'm a big fan of Chomsky and Chris Hedges. Thank you.
Noam has written extensively on various subjects that remain relevant at all times. He will continue to educate and enlighten many generations yet unborn. Thank you Noam, and thank you Chris, for educating the enlightened world.
🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏
The sanity of Chomsky, plain common-sense.
Thankyou Noam
Great Interview, thank you both.
Thank you very much for sharing your video thanks to Professor Noam Chomsky and Chris hedges from Europe Thank you very much 💗💙💜💖🌼🌺❤️
Love you both respectively and with awe.
So GOOD to see Norm! Thanks, Chris, for bringing him on! Chris and Norm are two most awesome white men who don't bite their tongues when its comes to How Bad our Rotten and corrupt government IS!
Noam is one of the greatest humans ever not just because of his non-pareil brilliance and amazing range of information but primarily because of his uncompromising integrity, profundity of fellow-feeling, implacable commitment to fight injustice and aggression, and modesty
Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky -- two of the finest men humanity has ever produced.
Hero's of America today!!
GREAT INTERVIEW -- love seeing two heavy weights, super heavy weights shining the light.
Chris ; as brilliant as he is, I’m sure he’s still in awe of Noam’s retrospection of these important historical events . Noam’s still as sharp as a whipped sniper . This has been a pleasure , thanks so much Gentlemen: I’m waiting with bated breath for part 2.
I met Howard Zinn once, at the Newton Library. I was in the DVD section, holding a Steven Seagal flick in one hand and, by sheer coincidence, Matt Damon's narration of The People's History in the other. Over my shoulder, someone says: "Go with the Seagal flick. Zinn's a windbag." It was Howard, and his self-effacing humor. I miss him forever.
Said I’d NEVER watch anything with Noam again after his insane and unhinged statement on how the un jabbed should be treated but I trust and respect Chris enough to watch this one.
I feel the same just here giving Chris a chance to call the snake chomsky out
chomsky was too nice to the "unjabbed"
@@jimmyfaulkner5746 Didn’t see it through to the end, did Chris do it?
Nope never pulled him up on it
@@jimmyfaulkner5746 Hmmm
I ❤NOAM CHOMSKY. I ❤CHRIS HEDGES for their consistency and dedication to truth telling whether anyone in power listens AND OR RESPONDS PROACTIVELY or not. (C) VernonNickersonSchoolcoach 2022. All RIGHTS RESERVED.
100%!!
Thank you Chris Hedges for this informative Noam Chomsky interview😊
Good interview 👍 Only the other day I saw a book on Amazon critical of Howard Zinn, the book claimed Zinn distorted history, confused me because I really liked his book. Glad after positive reviews I took a look at the negative. The interview helps me understand better, it's mostly liberals who attack him.
Thank you Chris.
I'm curious, ,which book was that ?
Respect Mr Chomsky very much, thank you from Austria 🍀
Noam Chomsky, among others, has helped me understand that I am a citizen of the American empire. His point seems to be that human empires would like to think they have their distinctive virtues, but they do not. I had to chuckle at his comment that he will not be interviewed by NPR, but he did not give a particular reason for that. Would it have anything to do with the length of his monologues? Which is also to say that RUclips and forums such as the Chris Hedges Report, provide a wider audience access to presentations that can go to the necessary length to establish sound arguments. For that I am grateful to both of these gentlemen. I will say I drew hope for the American empire that it appears that both of these men were speaking from some place of relative safety within America, that they were not speaking from prison, nor did they pronounce their intention to leave the jurisdiction of the empire. Enjoy the peace?
Thank You so much for this amazing interview!
That quote by the GREAT Edward Said at the beginning was so perfectly stated and spot on! Miss Edward....
I could listen to Noam talk for days.. such a great mind
Even when I admired him and hung on his words, I found him a terribly boring speaker and would rather read his material than hear it from his mouth.
I dont admire him anymore and he is more boring than ever to me.
Long live Noam Chomsky!!. Embraced Noam as a linguist since the late 60's & evolved & grew with Noam Chomsky and Howard Zin and well as a few other unpopular voices of critical acclaim, all who spoke so eloquently humble, sensible & true to their own words without ego or a soapbox pulpit to spew drivel from. & all being the unsung heroes of my formative years in the late 60's onward to this day. The truth never hurts anyone, that's unless evermore promises of lies feels good & sounds great to those particular anyones. God knows we have been infused, overdosed and over stimulated with lies, deceit, divisiveness and blatantly obscene over- the- top greed ever since Ronald Reagan, the infamous B rated Death Valley Days Hollywood Cowboy & his Screen Guilded Squares entered the pre- Orwellian scene back in 1980 & reigned supreme over those minds who thrived off being pawns of mass deception, worshipping that boot strap cowboy & dear leader of some delusional free world fantasy, before, during and after the long Cold War. Afghanistan broke the Soviets back in the late 1980's and in turn the long Afghanistan & Iraq wars broke the US's exhausted mind and empty pocketbook a decade later , Especially after losing a war/conflict & so much coveted national trea$ure plus active duty military personal (as well as the untold lives of so many Vietnamese civilians) in the Vietnam Conflict just 20 some years before.. And then finally again in Afghanistan where the point was proven to the warmongering world that beyond the shadow of any doubt, Afghanistan is the place where empires have always gone to die. Hopefully with those harsh decades of experiencing long losing streaks the free world may realize that nobody actually wins at war anymore. The calvary is not coming soon and will not be there to save anyone. Despite their geopolitical positions & beliefs China and Russia were once our allies not so long ago. Being raised in the "duck and cover" paranoia era of the 1950's & 60's, where we were told that the Russians and Chinese will invade our country take our hot dogs and hamburgers away and make us eat cold Russian soup and stale bread, or fish heads and rice (on the west coast) was the common threat from the pinko commie fear propaganda machine, a fear infused world that children in my generation had to endure and some even believed.
Chris Hedges is speaking at the Sanctuary for Independent Media tonight. I have my tickets
Lucky and great cause. The archive of his annual speeches there is educational and CH at his best.
gosh you're lucky - I hope you find/found the talk interesting and valuable Just sometimes being in the presence of a good person is enough to rub a bit of salve to a disturbed soul.
Nice! You'll love it. I saw Chris about 5 years ago and was able to have a short chat with him after while he signed my copy of his book.
Bless you both with health and happiness x
Thanks Mr. Hedges and Mr. Chomsky!
so depressing to hear mr chomsky calling for those who refused to take the now discredited injections. no jab no job etc..to be excluded from society or have we conveniently forgotten ..i d like to hear him explain that now
agreed
You are wrong. Vaccinations have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Look at the difference in death rates between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
To be "excluded from society" - is that a quote? If not can you provide some evidence for your accusation? A false accusation is just that - one with no evidence.
@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 ruclips.net/video/HTo9rm8C7UI/видео.html this is what he said .....depressing ....
@@tommartin4199 "they should have the decency to remove themselves from society" - yes that is no different than required vaccines for school attendance. The first mandatory vaccine was in the 1850s for Smallpox. If you don't want to study the science on Covid then that's your problem. I read "sci-hub" so I can read the science behind the paywall - the person who made that website has to be in hiding so we can read science for free. Yet you choose willful ignorance at her expense of having to be in hiding. That's what's depressing! Noam Chomsky as an elderly person has a 13 times increase of death from Covid with 80% of the deaths as the elderly. If you don't stand up for the elderly then who is next? Just as the saying goes against the nazis - first they came for the union activists but you did nothing... First Covid came for the elderly but you did nothing....
Noam Chomsky: A towering intellectual of the 20th and 21st centuries.
what's his stance on the unjabbed?
Peace is the way forward. At least we should show some respect to each other if we can't show or love. I have met people from all over the world of different colours and races and feel so privileged to have met these people. So struggle to understand why people carry so much indifference to the next man.
same. It's just so disheartening.
People are tribal. People fear death or destitution. The predator class knows this and twists the knife of prejudice into the masses so that they may HATE one another. Divide, Distract, Devolve peoples mentality. That’s there goal, and so the narrowness of peoples experience, due to circumstance in and beyond their control, makes for narrow perspective. A toxic brew of xenophobia, or class regression phobia aids in this whole process.
A MASS FORMATION hypnosis then can siege an seize a population as what happened during the COVID scare and mass manipulation which made the rich richer and everyone else poorer.
Chomsky's wisdom goes far beyond the divisions of left and right.
Remember Attorney , linguist & revolutionary the great Paul Robeson. Robeson was as much an intellectual as Chomsky. The imperialists never touched a hair on Chomsky’s head. Robeson was persecuted & tortured in a tremendous way.
Who is Paul Robeson and why was he persecuted?
@@ericmacrae6871 Paul Robeson was a athlete, Singer, Actor(Shakespearean trained) human rights activist and outspoken critic of The US Government treatment of Black people. He did support The former Soviet Union, but he was on the same level as WEB DuBois. I am a little taken a back by the fact that you do not know who Paul Robeson was. One of the greatest Americans our country has ever produced.
@Daniel Platt I'm a Canadian so I dont know a lot of famous US people
it's socrates & plato right here (2 legendary intellectuals)
love free thinkers
It should be mandatory that every American listen with both ears open to this absolutely brilliant and peaceful man. I found him just a few years ago. Everything he says is factual. Some don't like it. Most dont like it. Thats why the stupid corrupt system will never change. Strides have been made. But I won't live to see a peaceful world. Sad
One of the thinkers that I still listen to. ❤ u Noam...
I have to thank you Chris. Through your books, which I greatly admire, I was introduced to Chomsky (and also Wolin) whose work I have now read as well.
Intellectuals of the future will envy us, who were able to ask Dr. Chomsky questions.
why not ask him about his fascist views on the unjabbed.
The world's two most intelligent people, period.
Reading Chomsky was an act of rebellion in some circles at my undergrad. Things have gotten so backwards
When Noam passes the world will mourn with infinite sadness. God be with you. Wonderful Teacher
Thank goodness for Chris & Noam ... at least two sane 'folks' left in our world!
Manufacturing Consent is the "gold standard" for understanding MSM here.
going to save this for later.
Wow! This interview took place a year ago, and it is so incredibly relevant today!
I will forever mourn the opportunity we had with Jeremy Corbyn.
I love both of these men's I just discovered and subscribed to this channel thank you for this upload bless both of these men's. ❤
wow these are two of my favorite people!!
Two of my favorite Activists/Revolutionaries in the same title..
Of course I’m going to watch
Interesting to hear that the USA is considered the greatest threat to world peace by the majority of the world. Not surprised one bit knowing it wasn't published here. I'm one who has long felt that exact belief and a citizen residing in that part of North America.
Always enjoy professor Chomsky's perspective knowledge. It's a national disgrace that so few of us will take the time to listen to this wonderful man.
Its true which makes him telling you to vote for war mongers so strange.
Anyone else automatically reach for the volume controls when Hedges says "here's Noam?"
the smartest, most honest person on the planet!
Thank you Noam.. Howard was a good and honest man. 👍 God bless you 🙏
Great interview. But Noam, trim your beard please. I have been following you for years. You are a pleasure to listen to and such an intellectual as is Mr Hedges
I appreciate the work you're doing man. It's hard to get people to care sometimes so I like how well you articulate these ideas and ideals
Love Chomsky and love Chris Hedges
Can all in left-YT please start educating people about both the: (1) difference between right-authoritarian vs. right-libertarian; & (2) difference between left-authoritarian vs left-libertarian? It’s long overdue. People aren’t cattle or sheep: They will understand if we educate them.
Though we need to educate (& learn) about all the nuance.
yes, that's the most important political distinction to make (people need to understand that ideologies are placed on a grid, with 2 axis not just 1): the modern day class struggle of our times is (vertical, meaning) up (authoritarian; regardless of left/right position) vs. down (civil libertarian; also called populist, which can include the whole spectrum of left/right within it)...(a traditional horizontal political spectrum of purely) left vs. right is a distraction nowadays, used by the top to divide/conquer the populace (working class), & keep them fighting with each other so they don't turn their anger towards the elites who are oppressing them...this distraction includes: wokeism, culture war issues, identity politics, social media, msm/current events, hollywood/celebrity/royals, & tabloid fodder
Unless you use subversive techniques, the ones who would need to learn about these things the most will never get these videos recommended, nor will they search for them on their own. That is the problem of the echo chamber
As unfortunate as it is Western Government in particular, with their social media, and so called free press have turned people inti cattle, and ship. No one dare to question any wrong doing, any lies, any propoganda. Is there much choice left among Media??
Can they step out of line??
Assange, and some others did, but what happen to them?????
why don't you do that instead of plastering every video with your order
and i don't really get it,.. what you want is to clarify the difference between libertarian vs authoritarian, but i'm sure most people understand this difference already, intuitively.
maybe we should aim much more at freeing ourselves from this very limiting, grind of competitive mindset(s) and thinking in binary boxes/teams so much in the first place, & how this distorts and affects everything.
i dunno

@@aerobique I would share if you were genuinely interested. But you’re just being rude to me here. I wasn’t rude to you.
Please don’t respond to me in the future- I’d really appreciate if you didn’t. Best of luck.
So enlightening
Awesome informative thanks
It would be interesting to see Professor Chomsky's take on "rewriting history" as it seems to happen almost daily in Ukraine about the day before. Even deleting tweets or burying them could be considered a rewrite of sort.
used to have tremendous respect for Noam Chomsky.
That was before the interview where he said that those who remain unvaccinated should be segregated, saying that obtaining food after they had "the decency to remove themselves from the community" was their problem."
a society based on crime, lies, corruption, censorship and exceptionalism is doomed. the worst thing is that because of selfishness, it drags the whole world with its into the abyss
@Ndalach I will give you an example that is not. China. In China, it is forbidden by law that an individual can have a fortune of more than 100 million $ because no work is realistically worth more. If such a law existed in America, the Deep state would automatically be eliminated, and the people would live much better from corporate taxation. The tax on the rich in America was 95% in 1948, today it is 5%.
We have these great people among us at least: Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Roger Waters, George Galloway, Jimmy Dore, Amy Goodman, Howard Zinn.
russell brand
Max Blumenthal, well before Amy Goodman.
Amazing that this man, in his 90s, still does more reading, research and commentary than a dozen, younger, journalists.
he has done that for 90 years so it's probably 2nd nature to him at this point. most people of those "dozen younger journalists" grew up with television, music, comics and a lot more distractions than noam
@@underwaterlady I would not give journalists who grew up with TV, comics, etc a free pass. Curiosity, digging to verify reports and to flesh out headlines should be basic true journalism.
He's an ideologue commie who always sounds so earnest that you almost have to believe him but his solutions DON'T work
@@underwaterlady The USA had TV from the early fifties, comics from the twenties and music from the early 1900's : )
@@mikev4621 it also had ppl that could afford all those things Einstein
Noam Chomsky is a master of wisdom.
So you argee with the stasi kicking in your door and dragging you off to a covid camp and sending your kids into care . That's what the master of wisdom wanted to happen to you
@@jimmyfaulkner5746 Bro that's bullshit
@@archyology no, its not. Noam has fascist views re the unjabbed.
@@multitrackers9599 all he said was ppl have the right not to take it, but they ought to then have the decency to self isolate.
@@archyology will the jabbed now self isolate, to stop spreading germs due to their now ruined immune systems.
I wouldn’t have the critical perspective I have on our foreign policy and the inside the beltway consensus without having read Noam Chomsky’s books and listened to his speeches over the last 33 years.
I love you both. Long live Noam!
I wish you had asked him about the medical intervention of the past 3 years, as he was one of my heroes who greatly disappointed many of us by scolding many of us who refused this intervention to give up our bodily autonomy to get the jab......I will always be a Noam sceptic from that day forward.
Who, Epstein'$ buddy?
best of america
The love of truth and the truth of love. My two superheroes in one place. Thank you ❤ I love you both
