Churchill once said: “There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.”
was illuminatti, born and bred
he was one of them mate.
¨the problem starts, when people start to think for other people¨
Good point tho. There is no public opinion.
you're not accounting for those of us who don't shout their opinions from rooftops and dehumanize those who disagree.
“If you don’t have to pay for the product... you ARE the product”. Not sure why everyone is so surprised by Facebook “scandal”.
dmonkface they do it differently to every socio-economic group. Each level up it becomes more sophisticated, so people can readily identify it amongst other groups outside their own, but become blind to the fact that it’s happening to them. There are common characteristics with members of same group. Almost herd mentality. People in search of same thing eventually settle in same type of communities & over time become more and more alike. Similar income, jobs, houses, interests, cars, clubs... it becomes easier to identify groups and market people. That’s what all the data mining, surveys, geo-tagging and internet search algorithms are all about.
We are the slave, a product of the system that lives for the system whether we work or not, consuming and creating.
Yes!! Brilliant but obvious when you reflect on it.
Facebook is one of the worst. Yes, you 'are' the product, and they take everything you post as their property.
what about linux, and other open source projects? I think its not only the case, that you become the product. It more depends on who develops the product
I find that most people cannot grasp the reality of the corporate control we all are under.
Unfortunately Big Pharma manufactured COVID consent even in Noam Chomsky.
Everyone is in deep denial. This problem only seems to be getting worse every day that passes. Not many people know what to do to get out of what i like to call ''the cycle of survival''. Until we can all collectively remove our complacency aka 'consent' , this viscous cycle we're all in will not be broken.
@nicknayl0r Are you asking about the percentage of those people? It's small in comparison to those that don't see an issue with it. The conundrum is that because we're still a part of the collective, we get dragged down by the majority who like to glamorize the grind lifestyle. Its just a bunch of gaslighting and brainwashing to make us think that hard labor is something to strive for. Maybe it is for some, but not for someone like me.
And you used RUclips to voice this complaint?

" If you don't have a seat at the table, you are probably on the menu".
...or watching the whole stupidity from a distance, being neither at the table, nor on the menu.
@Tamera Bonner Find a way. There are some even without the option „suicide“.
@Tamera Bonner Just cause you're not at the table or on the menu doesn't mean you are not watching it all happen or that you're not IN the same reality. Nina Simone said it best - Freedom is a feeling, freedom is no fear. As long as another persons idea scares you (ie a conspiracy theory/possible negative outcome of sorts) you will not have the freedom of choice in that which governs your mind and therefore you will be either eating or eaten. Freedom of will has always been hindered by fear in humanity.

"They don't have to 'control' it, they OWN it."
I loved that person's, "Oh Shit!" look as he contemplated that line.
They have owned it for a long long time. To the point there is no will to change that. Our elders have failed us.
Wealthy people are going to die just as well as poor people in the end. They just leave more behind.
I don't feel so bad.
I don't understand this quote. Don't the owners have to issue orders to enact their agenda. In other words, don't they have to 'control' the media agenda otherwise they are not setting the agenda, free market economics will natural set the agenda.
POINT BLANK PERIOD!
Fast forward , 2023 everything Noam has said is more relevant than ever.
It was just as relevant back then as it is now
And the intelligence of the American people keeps diminishing by the day lol
Modern man does not think about current problems; he feels them. He reacts, but he does not understand them any more than he takes responsibility for them. He is even less capable of spotting any inconsistency between successive facts; man's capacity to forget is unlimited. This is one of the most important and useful points for the propagandist, who can always be sure that a particular propaganda theme, statement, or event will be forgotten within a few weeks.
― Jacques Ellul
Powerfully said!
SMH…
the most funny thing is that propagondists isn't immune to that either
they're lying not because they want to hide the truth - but because they don't know the truth
Lol, doesn't work on me. I don't even fncking listen to anything anymore.
antisemitic creep Chomsky was a regular guest on Epstein's pedo island, but in his case it's not a problem because of his highly regarded anti-Semitic hatred
Chomsky has put vast amounts of time, and critical thinking, into the topics that are presented in his speeches (and thus, these videos); yet, somehow 90% or more of the posted comments here seem to miss the mark and delve into liberal/conservative ideological wars. 🤦🏼♂️
There is some argument that at least liberals are trying some form of damage control, especially on the short term. Particularly I believe that breaking this bipartisan model is really hard, almost impossible without some kind of revolution, and it does not always change for the better if you know what I mean...
I agree. Both sides are full of shit. All Chomsky does is recite facts.
Ender Che In the case of democrat and republican (liberal and conservative) you are mostly correct. However if you think both left an right in general are equal evils in every case then you are blind.

Where would you go tho?
Thats what they want you to think. How about you go the other direction, get involved in politics, and make sure these crooks never take office?
It's called Wyoming
No, that’s illegal
Noam Chomsky has really always been 90 years old
How's he able to breakdown such complex concepts so nearly anyone can understand it is truly amazing. What a gift this man has been and what loss he shall be.
He actually didn’t in this video, it’s pretty confusing, i’ll have to read the book

Good RIDENCE
He's a pedophile
I mean, if you take business and economics classes it gets pretty easy.

'Crystallizing Public Opinion' and 'Propaganda' by Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and father of PR, were written in 1923 and 1928 respectively. They've known it for much longer and have perfected it by now.
@@BrettDuncanSEO They've known it even longer than that. Like historical documentation on the detailed workings of imperialism. But that's the thing when it comes to capitalism; it's a system that appears to be working ideally because it's success is bound by the shared perception that it's working ideally. Or in more clear terms, it's a system run on mass deception of the people through propaganda. It even goes beyond the educational institutions and mainstream media. These days, the most effective tool of American propaganda, is the entertainment/social media. I'd argue that Netflix/Disney plus, and Facebook/RUclips have a more widespread effect than the news at this point.
(((They)))
This needs to be taught openly in school
They definitely don’t want this taught in school. School is another form of control, they can make the future generations think how THEY want them to think. They can choose what to teach, or what not to teach. I would say school is worse than any media, because it’s programmed into children.

I have always wondered why there was a freedom of press to the extent that Press could be a multinational corporation. the constitution was created to protect the rights of American Citizens, so it makes sense that it should protect the right of an individual and/or his/her family to produce publications ...but not what we have today. that just seems to have gone furthest away from the 'spirit' of the law and away from the reason it was included.

They’re running the play again
Many many years ago on a college campus not so far away, I and my fellow anthropology classmates were given an assignment to attend and take notes at a free Noam Chomsky lecture on campus. As far as I can recall, we were all turned away and barred from the auditorium where he spoke. I dashed around the building and tried to listen in from various locations near and outside the venue, but would eventually be curbed from even listening to Chomsky’s speech. Days later, our professor was furious at the campus security’s reaction to the ordeal, which was curious because we had just endured what much of our courses’ subject matter was about.
What was the reason given for not admitting you and your classmates?
@Eric Enfield were they security for him or the uni
@hilakummins3104, @ericenfield2193 Sorry about my late response. According to my professor, it was very vague why we could not attend the lecture. It may have been a nearly full assembly, since I had a glimpse of it for a second, but a small group of student security kept hounding me(they were student age) and I almost think they were self important individuals who were messing with me and may not have actually been security but were sort of a 'vigilante security' who discovered an important intellectual was coming to town and thought it would empower them to push some snobby students around to show who was boss ... self appointed posse or goons. My guess.
@@bryanbryan2968 no worries on the late response - thanks for taking the time to fill us in.
Consider yourself lucky.
Audit The Media. Just like we have nutrition labels on food packages, media companies and academic journals should have to clearly disclose who are their funding sources, Twitter, RUclips, Google, Facebook should have to disclose their ranking algorithms. These institutions need to be audited and provide more transparency.
La la land.. 🤣😂 y’all freaking eat gmo food, drink water trusting it. Cuz they said it is safe. Listen to ear tickling nonsense cuz it is an imaginary delusion, bring your communist / Marxist/ socialist mindset here they implement a theory of the same and you have no understand of our countries foundational background or who and where it came from. They tell you glorify criminals because they refuse to comply and are victims of police brutality, but never mention the resistance the accused did while on illegal substances that are used to euthanize or eat you up within, they told you so, so do it. why? Under an authoritarian regime and have no clue what the amendments or the confederate flag means.. 🤐 so much for the dream 😴
the problem is who will audit the media? The goberment?
both are the problem: el estado y el capital.
and just like nutrition labels, there will be plenty of lies and hidden ingredients. there will be backers and investors who push agendas that you are never aware of. it will only make them sneakier. the answer is self-responsibility. grow up and quit pushing the responsibility onto corporations, they will never accept it and will always utilize it in an abusive, irresponsible manner. take accountability for yourself for once. the lack of accountability is why we are where we are.
They do. What would it change? Half of media say that all the problem of society is caused by poor white male while the other 50% say that all the problems are caused by poor black males while all say that Elon Musk and Bezoss are Heroes-genius...
@@TheSitambienumm why not private auditing companies?

that 80% is probably more than 95% now
The likes vs dislikes of this video are almost representative of the same percentage (3000 to 35). 90% order followers vs 10% political class.
Derek Miller that’s not even 2%
yeah most of the educated are in the 95% but the top phd students. however, these students are so deep in debt from the cost of school and so well indoctrinated in the system that they will willingly serve to corporate masters, or jump right back in the education bubble to become teachers, and continue the indoctrination of the young.
@dmonkface The 'political class' are the upper middle class. The 'educated voters', the ones who are politically aware, and are not controlled by fear mongering and misinformation. By in large, liberals(at this current time, in the US). Though many are also conservative, but they are currently labeled 'rinos' by current republicans. This changes over time.
@@rich1051414 Both political parties have educated voters. Left and right media also fear monger in their own way. The main idea is to take make you react emotionally. Never trust someone who tries to ring your emotions.
this explains why society feels so shallow and empty.
When some people realize they are just shells of a true human being instead of self-improvement they start buying things they don't need. Or distracting themselves with mindless and unproductive entertainment. And then there is the old reliable: oblivion by dulling the mind, with drugs or tamasic foods. You wonder why there are so many obese people in shopping malls, grocery stores and low-priced restaurants? No need to wonder.

Scary to think this was decades ago. Those roots are deep now, shaping our very world, as it become increasingly dependent on digital technologies.
Chomsky is often described as one of the best-known figures of the American left, although he doesn't agree with the usage of the term. He has described himself as a "fellow traveller" to the anarchist tradition, and refers to himself as a libertarian socialist, a political philosophy he summarizes as challenging all forms of authority and attempting to eliminate them if they are unjustified for which the burden of proof is solely upon those who attempt to exert power. He identifies with the labor-oriented anarcho-syndicalist current of anarchism in particular cases, and is a member of the Industrial Workers of the World. He also exhibits some favor for the libertarian socialist vision of participatory economics, himself being a member of the Interim Committee for the International Organization for a Participatory Society.
I guess some people need all that explained.
Thank you for your concise, easy-to-understand summary.
CEOofFRESH1 is it leftist?
When someone starts a sentence by calling one of the most important and relevant political thinkers of our generation "Chompsky", you know it's going to have clear and concise argumentative points.

That's a great idea. Save it to a USB too.
They teach entire courses about Chomsky in most colleges (and other thought leaders throughout history- Marx, Churchill, Adam Smith, etc). I’d recommend all of you youngsters double major in Political Science and Economics. It’s cool to see how a lot of these theories are exercised not only in the government but within corporate structures. I’ve been working in the corporate world for 11 years now and I owe a lot of my management skills to ideas that come from big thinkers like Chomsky.
The fact that Noam Chomsky is never allowed on any major TV network proves his argument.
But the same comment doesn't work for Trump somehow.
There's a reason for that. It's not that he's not allowed. It's that he's kept off on purpose, by the people he works for, to keep up the façade that he's not on the inside. In fact though, he's ALWAYS been a gatekeeper for the people and entities he criticizes.
A gatekeeper's job is to tell you just enough truth to be believable and then to open or close the gate when people get too close to the truth.
Chomsky has been well-known to be a gatekeeper, for decades.
I still remember my niece sending me a video of her son playing in a high school band. The very first thing I noticed was a huge sign placed behind them with one word, conform. I was completely stunned and asked her about it. Sadly, although she was surprised when I addressed the issue she hadn't even noticed it until I brought it to her attention!
Remember the movie They Live . Roddy Piper called it a documentary.
What's conform suppose to mean?
"TV rots the brain"- Freddy Krueger.
shit quote, too vague
Then so does RUclips.
the most important lesson is that being aware of the phenomenon of manufactured consent does not make one immune.
chomsky's position on the pandemic, mandates, and contrary opinions shows that.
This does feel dystopian and it's so sad that many of us are just realizing what we're actually living in. They have a century on us and they have become so evil and out of control that they are seeing humanity as toys for their pleasures. It's so disgusting 🤢

Yep. It wasn’t high school that introduced me to Chomsky, it was fat mike.
and now he's doing this very thing... irony defined
While the topics he speaks of are realistic, I find it rather comforting to think about how this is the way media has worked from the beginning of humanity. We come up with different ways of organizing and formating it, but media has always had the flaws that he lists because they are HUMAN flaws.
Accepting this timeless feature of human nature, you just have to confront the fact that every piece of media you've ever consumed was also suseptible to these flaws. That includes your holy book, your people's history, and your evening news.
Embrace the uncertainty that this *should* cause in you, and you'll be one step closer to being a critical thinker.
Yes it all comes down to who owns who, what are they overseeing, how do they operate, as well as a many other number of facets to consider into account. Fantastically well done video to review here

Fucking nothing to do with it.

I like the documentary, but I wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea about the book Manufacturing Consent. The book demonstrates limitations of the media, regardless of whether you think this is the result of a purposeful agenda by a specialized class, by presenting a propaganda model as the logical conclusions of a detailed explanation of the economic constraints of the media. A few quotes from the first chapter, which are supported with specific evidence and elaborated on to great detail in the book, are below to give some idea.
"A propaganda model focuses on this inequality of wealth and power and its multilevel effects on mass-media interests and choices. It traces the routes by which money and power are able to filter out the news fit to print, marginalize dissent, and allow the government and dominant private interests to get their messages across to the public. The essential ingredients of our propaganda model, or set of news "filters," fall under the following headings: (1) the size, concentrated ownership, owner wealth, and profit orientation of the dominant mass-media firms; (2) advertising as the primary income source of the mass media; (3) the reliance of the media on information provided by government, business, and "experts" funded and approved by these primary sources and agents of power; (4) "flak" as a means of disciplining the media; and (5) "anticommunism" as a national religion and control mechanism."
"The elite domination of the media and marginalization of dissidents that results from the operation of these. filters occurs so naturally that media news people, frequently operating with complete integrity and goodwill, are able to convince themselves that they choose and interpret the news "objectively" and on the basis of professional news values."
"Before advertising became prominent, the price of a newspaper had to cover the costs of doing business. With the growth of advertising, papers that attracted ads could afford a copy piece well below production costs. This put papers lacking in advertising at a serious disadvantage: their prices would tend to be higher, curtailing sales, and they would have less surplus to invest in improving the salability of the paper (features, attractive format, promotion, etc.). For this reason, an advertising-based system will tend to drive out of existence or into marginality the media companies and types that depend on revenue from sales alone. With advertising, the free market does not yield a neutral system in which final buyer choice decides. The advertisers' choices influence media prosperity and survival."
"With advertising, the free market does not yield a neutral system in which final buyer choice decides". That ONLY if you ASSUME the following: That "The advertisers' choices influence media prosperity and survival..." to the point were the individual makes NO CHOICES whatsoever. And THAT is a loooong stretch.
By that token we can say advertisers themselves are under some sort of spell (profit) which compels them to "advertise" not for the good of humanity, but for their own good.
Was that not the case BEFORE advertisement? Meaning, is advertising at fault here?
And also, how do you take advertisement out of any "business" equation? I mean, you want to sell something: isn't "talking about it", the fact that you got something to sell, already some form of advertisement?
When you look for jobs, aren't you then advertising your own capabilities? as being above the rest of competitors?
Well, to me, that's Chomsky's biggest fallacy. Of course advertisement is an easy culprit, but aren't we all responsible in the end?
Of course, he puts it, again, in a way as though we are all instead simply helpless victims.
That's the way Chomsky puts it, transforming us all, by definition, into "victims" of the devices of a dominant and all knowing class.
ok, that was a bit long, but what I wanted to say basically is:
"With advertising, the free market does not yield a neutral system..."
How could any commercial system lack any form of advertisement???? Am I not allowed to talk about the product I want to sell to you?? How do I even come about selling it then?????!
How is there free market AT ALL if I am not allowed to say, whatever I want to say about what I got to offer????
Then if you buy it and does not come to the expectations I set up you simply won't buy from me again. ---> I can only but see a free market mechanism here at work. WITH or WITHOUT advertisement.
Thank you. Amazingly written. Powerful truth:
Chomsky and the people that do this manufacturing have something very special in common.
so do the people who talk about them in this fashion
🤔
This video could also be called "Summary of 1984 - by George Orwell"
IF everyone in this comment section went out and made some kind of positive change in their communities the world would be better off, including myself
It's 2022 and people are still beleiving the media.
Well it's 2023 and now the people ARE the media. And are controlled by it.theres no truth only a controlled perception of it.
And will forever more. 🤪
@@AlextheENTP I think you are right. It will always be that way unless the modality is gone and even then I'm sure there is a plan for when that time comes.
@@KatiTheButcher Without the media, there will still be good old-fashioned gossip. The lies will spread just fine.
Even this Chomsky clown, when he was going around doing interviews advocating for unvaccinated people to be separated from “normal” society and basically put in a slum away from normal people…
I've watched this about a dozen times
More relevant than ever today!
This video was really well done. Bravo.
+BennyOcean If you didn't know, this is a short put together from a 2+ hour long video. The whole thing is worth a watch. Very informative.
The full film is called 'Manufacturing Concent: Noam Chomsky and the Media' and is 2:40hrs long.
It's on YT. The most important documentary ever made, in my view.
Such a fantastic intellect and wonderful communicator.
My recommendations are getting good. I think I'm on the right path.
What keeps the media functioning is not the audience but advertisers
Unfortunately most of the people I talk to don't know who Chomsky is. This is incredibly important. Many millions of people need to see this. Thank you.
I don t think you know who he is either.
most people have never been thinkers or educated. the truth, and superfluous knowledge, are for the few, always was.
Amazing how the elite media of the time this was filmed has fallen so far from grace
seriously when did they get so aggressive repetitive and unarticulated
@@ajanigreen6101 “The Rise (and Fall) of American News Ethics” places that around the decline of objectivism and legally-mandated social obligations.
Have they though? Or have they moved in behind those that you perceive as being the new controllers?
@@mileswilliams527 you could at least believe the news at the time to some extent. Now it is a grim mockery of itself.
@@Phil-D83 yeah that’s true I guess. It’s definitely gotten much worse.
That's a whole lot of information packed into 9 minutes!
Always brilliant.
49 dislikes from the Washington Post, NY Times, and Bank of America.
A bowl of salad as well as Fox News, the daily mail, bbc news, the independent, Alex Jones, buzzfeed fuck it don’t trust the news
Conservatives, in a nutshell
@@Cjnw pretty much all mainstream news are left leaning lol.
Lmao
"Bank of America"
No such thing.
Interesting to watch in our current times. No matter where you are.
i love how nothings changed since then and we still just got bored talking about it and didnt do anything about it
Social media has changed things. Now we create the content and consume it, while RUclips makes a profit. It's an even better deal for corporations. Of course, in countries with free speech digital media giants don't filter in the same way as the New York Times, GE, etc. So I think the discourse has broadened and definitely changed and become more "diverse", which is mostly great, but at the same time, as McLuhan said, "The medium is the message, " so our discourse is shaped by the peculiarities of the tweet and the short video and screens and anonymity.
Of course, digital media has the potential to be ruthless controlled, as we see in China.
@@faintscrawl Good point! You could also argue that the control is already ruthless. Idiots feeling content tweeting about their disapproval of governments without actually doing anything about it is the perfect substitute for action. The algorithms on twitter are designed to make you interact with twitter more, a lot of political people mostly interact on twitter when they're angry with someone. Algorithms deliberately want us to get angry because its easier to have a fight with a stranger on the internet and go about your day than it is to organise and see real change.
Here in the UK the left is destroyed and the ones that are left are fighting amongst each other about stupid things.
damn i love Noam's vocabulary and articulation 👌
Good advice is show your own opinion, don’t let other people think for you, don’t wait to go to twitter to see how other people feel about, create your own vision and create new things instead of just consuming ordinary day to day things
That sounds good.
Can I steal this?
So relevant and accurate nowadays!
Well done Mr. Sanders!! 🫡 God bless 🙏🏽
I remember cigarette companies used ads and shows to try to get away without regulations or drive attention away from legal discourse, it didn't work for them but it has worked for oil and gas companies to the point where every family depends on it for their daily activities.
Now wonder RUclips has ads, some you can't skip immediately, some you can't skip at all.
Lol use adblock and become a dissident
Very relevant today. More then ever.
All of us honed to believe they were guardians of truth, preaching from a box in the corner of almost every living room, disguised as friends and familiar providers of information, entertainment and essentially, hope. How we failed ourselves. Nobody but us.
Hi, yes, Harvard grad here--part of the political elite... I loved how he said our cooperation is crucial... because I definitely know I'm not the only one in my graduating class who is definitely questioning the entire system. Gives me hope that so many are starting to question the status quo.
Thank you & Thank you Noam Chomsky. I came to the understanding that media corporations (regardless) tailer events (real or not) in a way to make their version of the world your own. Meanwhile creating loyalty so you come back for more, and incorporating advertisements to profit.
Quite interesting indeed, but a little tricky
This video brought to you by one of the largest media companies in the world for free.
Absolutely! The irony will shine through soon enough! :P

Noam Chomsky is a global treasure.
I lost all respect for him after his totalitarian response to covid
@@oliverbird6914 Exactly. He looks like a global(ist) fraud.
Never trust blindly the intellectuals. Many of them are narcissistic, cowards and hypocrites.
He’s a global phony. Chomsky is fine with people starving to death if they don’t give up their bodily autonomy. Real disgusting take on his part. Just like Rage Against the Machine, Chomsky is just a shill.
Earth is not a globe
@@oliverbird6914 "the unvaccinated should starve"
We have seen this play out in the election season so far
where? with hillary?? becue the biggest problem right now is google
It's happening in the UK right now. 😠
And it just happened again in 2020.
Partisans dont get it. All the election options we're given are of individuals from ruling classes or their preconcieved selections.
Me: *laughs in 2020*
It's incredible how much the movie The Matrix is a metaphor for the actual world we live in. Plugged in to the machine and letting them extract our life force for their gain. They only keep us content enough to not revolt. Some prefer blyssful ignorance, most don't even get it
the matrix was also a metaphor for the feelings of gender dysphoria the two main directors were experiencing at the time, and was specifically about when one has been indoctrinated their entire life to be one thing and yet still being entirely another, that being something which society despises.
@@jasonschuele115 the type of people who hold The fuckin Matrix of all things as their gospel really hate to hear that
c0l10jar and those who revolt are accused of being dangerous extremists or troublemakers and get crushed by the powers that be. If only we all collectively saw how the masses are being suppressed and exploited, and there WOULD be a revolt. The system is working
"They Live"
Yes that's why calling it "the boob tube" is appropriate not just to look at breasts but like a breast instead of milk feeding you info and ideas.
Go watch the entire documentary…and then every Chomsky speech you can find. More people need to wake up since too many of us are still asleep
So what can we do about it? The only thing that can be done, the same thing that has been done throughout history…
The people at the top get fewer and higher on the mountain, the people at the bottom grow in numbers and sink. Until the foundation of people at the bottom break and decide to blow up the whole mountain.
We create a society, people fall into efficiency, hierarchy’s are formed, control shifts to the top, and the loss of control at the bottom causes revolution.
This is the name of the game, it will happen over and over again. Yet each iteration gets better, as we (hopefully) learn from our mistakes.
This is really how all process’ in life work. Birth/growth/decay birth/growth/decay, with better and better iterations.
Perfection is impossible, but thats why they say life is a game. A game to attempt to claim.
Good sense of idea and a knowledge of reality.
Leaving this comment during the farcical 2020 "Democratic" "Primary" "Election"
Absolutely. Just got done observing the machinery at work marginalizing the actual progressive candidate over the past month. Doesn't fit the agenda.
That was an absolute masterclass in manufacturing consent, almost like an art work. And very, very scary....
“Isolate yourself from society”

I've never noticed the likeness before, but for a split second at 4:15 I thought it had cut to a clip of Peter Sellers as Dr Strangelove
