If you listened to his argument, he is right. Voting doesn’t matter and thinking you can use voting to influence power is foolish. He said you should be doing activism instead. He then says vote biden but don’t waste your effort, just take a few minutes, then log off and do activism. im sorry but bri was just kinda libby imo.
Im not a chomskers stan, just the bad faith interview whining when he was lowkey right. I appreciate manufacturing consent tho
sorry, but amateur funny man and professional sour grape haver virgil texas said ‘biden-man bad,’ and now i need to waste my time and energy talking about how my token protest vote is a morally necessary instrument of radical change
I was kind of confused on this part though, like what is activism? When Bri asked about what to do about people who don’t care about the environment because they have their plate full already Chomsky told them it’s their jobs as activist to make them care. Like why can’t we do the same with politicans? As for Chomsky saying not voting won’t do anything what of voting third party. Why can’t we be the covenant independent vote?
I think comsky was saying thay method of making them care is a waste if time and energy. they are so far under the boot of their handlers and people placated by the prophganda model cant blame him for dismissing electoral methods and we should pressure from a different angle.
ill also say i voted green but I don’t think it matters even if it contributes to funding or whatever. you shouldn’t canvas either focus on concrete organizing labor or mutual aid or agitating or protests etc
