Firstly, I do not idolise anyone. However, I do value Chomsky’s opinion as one of the world’s foremost intellectuals. As do most people with the capacity for critical thought. In fact, I can’t think of anyone, off the top of my head, that has more knowledge and experience of how the political system works, in reality, and I doubt few people would disagree.
Oh deary me. Looks like I've hit a raw nerve, doesn't it?
one of the world’s foremost intellectuals - my a

Gusmac, the frightening thing, is you seem to be completely unaware of what a fool you are by making these stupid comments.

It's also a mystery to me, how you think you are being clever.

And once again, you avoid the substance of what Chomsky points to in his interview.
Quote:
Chomsky simply explains how politicians have learned to harness the Public Relations Industry to control the vote by manipulating people’s attitudes and beliefs through their emotions.
Quote:
In short, people like you who are poorly informed vote with their hearts and not their heads, which, all in all, explains where support for the SNP and Independence comes from. Really, it's akin to joining a cult of wee tartan fu*kwits.
Gusmac, don't you want to educate yourself so you can make an informed decision rather than being willfully ignorant, brainwashed and lead by the nose?
