"We went until the '60s without any recognition that we had wiped out the indigenous population-- where was it? When I was a kid, we played cowboys and Indians. We were the cowboys shooting the Indians, the bad guys. And that went right into the '60s. Academic scholarship was just lying about the number of people, claiming that thinly scattered hunter-gatherers had no right to this country anyway. Since the '60s, that whole edifice has been demolished. And 1992 was dramatic. They could not ram through a celebration, people would just not take it. If it had been 1962, it would have been a celebration of the liberation of the hemisphere like it was every other anniversary. The five hundredth anniversary of Columbus turned into a dirge. In my opinion, that's why [the elites] launched this ludicrous political correctness campaign. Because I think that they were terrified by the fact that they couldn't even carry off a celebration of conquest." Noam Chomsky.

You can talk.
ReplyDeletedunno I think some of what he said in his article seemed sort of reasonable. The sanitised version of gay life presented by american sitcoms is worthy of critique, and not just in a 'gays shouldn't have kids' way. Having watched the films of two of his books (well cultured, me) I suppose I am technically a fan.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah I don't really get what his problem is with not getting invited to this party. If he wants to insist on being really anti-establishment it doesn't make much sense for him to want to go in the first place.
Well said. x
