That’s not really his attack though.

His attack is what causes we’re driven to consent to.

Elsewhere Chomsky has quipped along the lines of “oh no how horrible if we had world peace” via organic filtering among neighbors.

He’s not challenging that such a process exists. But how the organic process is bent toward disposable consumerism, imperialist conquering, not much different than in the old days of Napoleon and Alexander the Great, even though we call ourselves “civilized”.

And we consent via manufactured apathy. Every option the public may want is explicitly bad, m4a, reducing military spending, higher taxes. Every option the elites want is just the right balance, citizens united, lower taxes, binding arbitration, etc etc
