“If you assume that there is no hope, then you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

“Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media. “

A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.

In my opinion, the fact that Jordan Peterson and Noam Chomsky have almost identical views on the war in Ukraine (they both believe that the main responsibility for the war on the US) speaks more not about right and left ideologies, but about how much Westerners limited by their own context. This blog was created under the impression that people from Western Europe and the US don't know ANYTHING about Eastern Europe and, most importantly, a lot of them don't want to know more, and the war only proved this!
