    Elect the lesser evil now, by the time elections come around everyone hates him and they vote for the other guy. Then it repeats, the greater evil gets elected, everyone hates him, and so the lesser evil gets their turn. Over and over until we're all dead.

  • You can see what they show you. I don't see a reason to assume they aren't just lying to your face. Social media makes it easier to lie, but it was always possible to lie in person. With the carnivore diet, if they're drinking orange juice in secret you'd never know.

    The ones that end up in the hospital were telling the truth.

  • The real complication is the militia. Chavez and Maduro armed and politicized the masses, undoing that will be extremely difficult for any right-wing government. That's how civil wars start, and civil war serves the empire just as well as colonization does.

  • Well like I said, I don't know how successful the colonization is.

    What I'm waiting to see is what happens to the Bolivarian militia. If Venezuela is being colonized I think we'd expect them to reorganize the explicitly political and anti-imperialist paramilitary under the regular armed forces to depoliticize them.

  • Well of course, Chomsky was the one with the right friends to make sure "his" book was well known.

  • Isn't Chevron colonial? It's a US company trying to superexploit Venezuela's resources with the backing of the US military.

    I don't know if they're successful colonizers, but they seem to be trying.

  • I'm sure there are people that have actually done it for more than a week, what I should say is for the most part they're just liars. Yes, you can technically survive if you eat enough raw organ meat, but they aren't doing that. They just lie. It's easy, because what social media does is enable liars to lie more effectively than ever before.

    There's a lot more people lying about doing weird shit than you seem to be giving credit. Whether it's people lying about the carnivore diet or lying about beating themselves with hammers, they just lie for their brand or clout or just because it's fun.

  • It's just a good, but light, introduction to mass media as propaganda.

    There's also the co-author, Edward S. Herman, who isn't in the files. So why don't we just... y'know.

    Chomsky who?

  • Why Is Zohran Mamdani Endorsing Strikebreaker Kathy Hochul? - Left Voice

    Jump

  • Right, they go home when the elections are over. They put in a lot of work to get out the vote, but they don't maintain their organizing to then do anything else. They just wait for the next election. I guess you could call this "electoral militancy" but a militancy that is demobilized most of the time is hardly militant at all.

  • There's more parallels when you consider Tolkien was writing a critique of industrialization. Evil wasn't just represented by the One Ring, but also mining too greedily and too deep, cutting down all the trees, poisoning all the water, etc etc.
