The problem to me is idolization, whether for Chomsky, Trump or you. Nation states don’t rule the world, love of money and power does, and those who pretend otherwise perpetuate the lie. America is a big part of the sick system we have been brainwashed to accept. But what has China or Russia done to free the people of Palestine or Yemen? Nothing. They fight for their piece of the pie. You’re brilliant, and have helped my understanding of narrative control. ❤️

I hope the people of the world wake up and realize the ruling class has control of all “sides,” both nationally and internationally. None of them care about nationality, religion, political ideology, race or sexuality. They care about keeping us divided by the above to stay in power.

Russia did fight for the people of Syria, though. And now is taking a stand for the people of Donbass. Yes, there is self-interest of self-preservation, as well, which is driving the current war. The point is Russia or China did not create those crises in Yemen, etc, while USA / Western oligarchy did.

I was going to respond with that thought exactly. Syria would not exist today as a nation only a colony of u.s. empire.
