„Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Johnson about his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, and about how to hold media organizations accountable for their roles in manufacturing the conditions for genocide.“

The media must be prosecuted for its role in the destruction of Gaza

From the New York Times to Jake Tapper, legacy media played a critical role in manufacturing the conditions for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Adam Johnson has the receipts to prove it. Now, we need accountability.

Chomsky's Assistant of 24 Years: "I Saw Every Message He Sent" | Bev Stohl

This statement will be seen by some merely as an act of loyalty. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have grappled, struggled deeply, over this situation, while seeking to remain faithful to the truth. It is in the service of truth–the very thing Noam Chomsky wanted us to hold in high esteem, rather than himself–that...

Today in Labor History May 30, 1814: Russian anarchist militant and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin was born. In Paris, in the 1840’s, he met Marx and Proudhon, who were early influences on him. He was later expelled from France for opposing Russia’s occupation of Poland. In 1849, the authorities arrested him in Dresden for participating in the rebellions of 1848 & 1849. They deported him back to Russia, where the authorities imprisoned him and then exiled him to Siberia in 1857. During his imprisonment, he lost all his teeth due to scurvy. However, he eventually escaped and made it to England.

In 1868, he joined the International Working Men’s Association, leading the rapidly growing anarchist faction. He argued for federations of self-governing workplaces and communes to replace the state. This was in contrast to Marx, who argued for the state to help bring about socialism. However, he agreed with Marx’s class analysis. Nevertheless, in 1872, they expelled Bakunin from the International.

Bakunin died in 1876 in Bern, Switzerland. He influenced anarchist movements throughout the world, but especially in Italy and Spain. He also influenced the IWW, Noam Chomsky, Peter Kropotkin, Herbert Marcuse, and Emma Goldman. Chomsky wrote that Bakunin’s prediction that Marxist states would ultimately become dictatorships was "one of the few predictions in the social sciences that actually came true." Anarchist historian Paul Avrich wrote that Bakunin's life was full of paradoxes: "[He was] a nobleman who yearned for a peasant revolt, a libertarian with an urge to dominate others, an intellectual with a powerful anti-intellectual streak." And there were numerous examples of antisemitism in his writing, too.

According to Everett, the statement that #Pirahã is a finite language without embedding and without #recursion presents a challenge for proposals by Noam #Chomsky and others concerning universal grammar—on the grounds that if these proposals are correct, all languages should show evidence of recursive (and similar) grammatical structures.

Chomsky has replied that he considers recursion to be an innate cognitive capacity that is available for use in language but that the capacity may or may not manifest itself in any one particular language.

„In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Anderson about the ways US media has systematically run interference for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, aligning its coverage with Israeli military #narratives while downplaying—and even condoning—the wholesale massacre of Palestinians.“

‘You can’t say ‘genocide’’: How US media sanitized Israel’s destruction of Gaza

“These journalists and these editorial boards—they need to be held accountable… I have fantasies of somebody holding my book at the Hague and calling out the media at the International Court of Justice.”
