Good, so you have excellent knowledge of what the CIA was up to in Korea, Nicaragua, Iran, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, … just to name some of many the countries the US was heavily involved in. What a wonderful history.

And if you’ve watched the film/documentary VICE about Dick Cheney’s path to power on Netflix you might too know that the US is directly responsible for the rise of ISIS. So even without the brilliance of Noam Chomsky, most people do know the US’s real nature.

But then you also know that denial (cognitive dissonance) is essential for the preservation of the ego. https://osf.io/qvft7/download/?format=pdf

Only cowards back out from facing hard facts. So I’m not one of them. Nor is Chomsky.
