Chomsky did an incredible amount of damage misleading the left, even leaving aside that he’s close friends with a known pedo and a child trafficker. He was doing the bidding of the bourgeoisie; literally made an academic career of misdirectimg leftists and cozying up to elites.

One of the most important and influential “dissident left wing” intellectuals in the entire Western world was without a doubt close friends with an intelligence asset and engaged in illict activities that Epstein was known for. You just can’t separate these facts.

He epitomizes manufactured consent.

I actually did read On Chomsky. I was asking specifically about the contents of Inventing Reality vs Manufacturing Consent.

Parenti gets nearer to the truth by describing propaganda as fabricating a new version of reality, "alternative facts," while Chomsky focuses more on bias, minimization, and exaggeration. While Chomsky is correct on a lot of it, Parenti completes the thought, so to speak, leaving it more complete.

Awesome. I can't put a deadline on it since engineering school is a thing, but I'll get around to it eventually rat-salute
