ryhtgergf··on Noam Chomsky on the cruelty of American imperialism
In what sense can 'totalitarianism' be measured as a moral wrong besides the amount of violence and oppression it inflicts? By that measure there's infinitely more reason to need to look inward at America's domestic and foreign policy than there is to enable the cold warrior type's fantasies of war with china.
ryhtgergf··on Adam Curtis’ “Bitter Lake”: A Review
It seems relevant to mention to anyone who isn't english that the BBC channel Adam Curtis works with is British State Media. A lot of his indecisive dialogue and orthodoxy being weirdly at odds with the information and footage he shows the viewer might be explained as a man with more controversial opinions trying to subvert from inside the establishment. If he'd come out too damningly against the UK military or establishment he'd probably lose his comfortable platform.
