I find that most people cannot grasp the reality of the corporate control we all are under.

“If you don’t have to pay for the product... you ARE the product”. Not sure why everyone is so surprised by Facebook “scandal”.

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. 🤦🏼♂️

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

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, YouTube, Google, Facebook should have to disclose their ranking algorithms. These institutions need to be audited and provide more transparency.

When you realize we already live in a dystopia

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 🤢
