“We live in a world facing existential threats while extreme inequality is tearing our societies apart and democracy is in sharp decline.” – Noam Chomsky As climate collapse looms, global elites double down on extraction and control. It’s not nature we fear — it’s human design.
Power structures often label dissent as 'chaos' to maintain control. In questioning authority, we redefine the narrative and reclaim our voice.
"The inefficiency and cruelty of the American healthcare system reflect the priorities of a system where corporate greed takes precedence over human welfare."
Illusions of democracy: when the voice of the people drowns in the sea of corporate interests, whose freedom are we really defending?
Beware the illusion of choice. When media serves corporate power, it becomes a tool for manufacturing consent, not informing democracy. Who truly controls the narrative we consume?
Language is a powerful tool, but it's often wielded unequally. When we ignore the biases in how we judge language abilities, we perpetuate systemic inequalities that limit true understanding.
"The attack on labor unions is a reflection of a general effort to limit democratic control and concentrate power in the hands of corporations."
"Strong unions are the cornerstone of a functioning democracy, countering the power of concentrated wealth and corporate interests."
Power structures thrive on keeping people in the dark. The real revolution begins when we illuminate the shadows they cast.
"Universal healthcare isn’t radical—it’s the bare minimum for a humane society. The fact that it’s still debated shows how deeply corporations control public policy."
"Unions not only defend workers' rights but provide a sense of solidarity, a community of people working together against exploitation."
"If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress... Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature... It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems…
The manipulation of language by those in power is not merely about controlling dialogue, but about molding reality itself. Question who benefits from the narratives you accept.
"Without the protections of unions, the balance of power shifts entirely to the wealthy, leaving workers isolated and vulnerable."
"In a functioning democracy, healthcare would be seen as a fundamental right, not a commodity sold for profit to those who can afford it."
"The central concern, with regard to the Third World, is to defend the right to rob and to exploit, to protect 'our' raw materials. More generally, the concern is to maintain the Grand Area subordinated to the needs of U.S. elites and to ensure that other powers are limited to…
"The so-called crisis of immigration is an indication of a bigger moral crisis in the wealthy countries of the world; those societies that have resources to help those who are in severe danger."
“In the twentieth century, three forms of totalitarianism developed: Bolshevism, fascism, and corporations. … Two of those forms of totalitarianism were overthrown. The third one is rampant.” - Democracy and Power 📖 Dive Deeper ➡️ amzn.to/4fhVre6
Freedom of expression is not a privilege earned by the agreeable, but a right for all—even those we oppose. Without this, liberty is but an illusion.
"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."
