You have the brain to appreciate what he's saying, that's more than what many people have.

Noam Chomsky is the truth.

@ISMEY A map does not determine geopolitics. Russia is not entirely part of Europe. They have unique characteristics that sets them apart form Europe. They also have a soci-economic identity and history quite distinct to the whole of Europe.

@fLcGambit It is hilarious, Chomsky should read it and maybe take a vacation once in awhile.

@fLcGambit "no room for rhetoric or fallacious points"

I heard it said once that in politics voters respond positively to simplicity and clarity whether the argument itself is right or wrong. I think there's a natural bias toward speakers who distract us the least from whatever reward we are seeking by listening. Different things annoy and distract different people.

@iridescentsquids I think his dryness of speech is probably what i most admire, he presents the bare essentials with no room for rhetoric or fallacious points. Surely if alot of politicians approached their speeches this way, their inconsistencies would be revealed in a matter of seconds.

@Laavanzaday He did in passing, but it's a pretty short video to get into everything

@squamish4244 That's a great article haha

Whenever I see Noam Comsky videos now, I'm reminded of TheOnion's satirical article, "Exhausted Noam Chomsky just going to try and enjoy the day for once".

Chomsky is right, anyone can see what's going around them if they just opened their eyes.
