Do a little more reading Marianne, to see the context of Chomsky’s work.

End the filibuster and pass #ForThePeopleAct and #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct This should be the only thing trending. Let @POTUS @KamalaHarris @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @SenateDems @SenateGOP know.

MW retweeting Chomsky feels like a turning point.

Yes, it does. I would put special emphasis on the consumption of entertainment as a brain-numbing distraction from the truly essential aspects of contemporary existence.

Diverted to consumerism. As if that's all we are.

All Democrats should have this quote tattooed on their right arm!

Absolutely. Frankfurt School saw how culture itself had been turned into an industry. Pasolini made similar remarks. Today opinions, views either distract from a general critical view on reality, or, when conveyed for rights, freedom, enable only money and power to foster them.

"As long as [we keep voting the lesser of two evils] then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome." (wish had been said by) Noam Chomsky

So true bestie
