I couldn’t get pass first 30ish pages in the main book (after reading trough the prefaces and skipping here and there reading some other stuff that piqued my interest also). It got me heavily depressed and left me feeling completely powerless and hopeless and it only reinforced the things I noticed and tought about USA myself.
And I just quit…prefering the sanity of ignorance to the madness of reality.
How can anyone hope to have a normal world with THAT…and I live in Eastern Europe…one would say far away from thr main American Influence. Not so far as it felt before. If we tought that the Nazis or the Communists were evil…ohoho boy…this book makes one feel like there is nothing more vile in the world than the United States of America government.
Did you read it? How did it make you feel?
So because you have friends with negative opinions of some random American businesspeople Chomski’s view that America is the sole source of all the world’s evils is valid?
You seem to have skipped some track in your logic chain there. I mean, what does some random kids not being able to identify a certain pop culture figure that until recently wasn’t big in kids media have to do with anything? Kind of self centered to declare them ignorant for not knowing the same characters you know.
And what does any of that have to do with Chomski’s known extreme bias? Dude’s a genocide denier solely on the basis that the genocide was done by a nation opposed to America and thus it had to have been invented by evil Americans forcing refugees to lie.
