If Chomsky has taught me anything its that someone other than Gaza is getting genocided right now.

Ukraine coverage has gone down significantly.

Russia and Iran stirred some shit up in Israel knowing how predictable the global response would be. Suddenly out of 'nowhere' Hamas has North Korean weapons and state level intelligence information.
Elon Musk is a pro-Russian muppet.
100% Everything going on right now is to diminish focus and support for Ukraine.
- It's weird how Putin and Kim met and then Hamas had some North Korean weapons huh
- lil' baby bibi needed a distraction. Hamas were useful idiots. end of story.
The war has slowed down too. It's doesn't need some kind of conspiracy for the media to jump on the next exiting event when the previous one grows stale.
Very possible this is it although I feel like that isn’t too far off the agenda.
No doubt though that Putin is benefiting from the current Gaza situation.

There is always more than one thing going on.

You're just going to hear mostly about the thing that's making the people who are telling you the most money. This would be less of an issue if you had a truly independent media as opposed to a capital dependent one.

It's not too much better with independent, publicly funded media, like in parts of Europe.
- Those are not independent, those depend on the state securing their finances.

Unfortunately there is no one calling the shots. We’re all just drifting.

Billionaire doing the wrong thing is just a really simple story that journalists know how to write. The rest of the world is a convoluted mess.

I mean, I halfway agree with you. The World Economic Forum meets up annually. It's a real sanitized name for entrenched wealth, sounds super official, like a neighborhood bus line that fancies itself the "generic county transit authority". I too can call myself an authority on something but that doesn't make it so. Lol.
No one attending was voted into power, all but a handful were born into it. There doesn't need to be any one person in charge when all their motivations already align. Humanity is not inherently hierarchle. So they shmooze, exchange tips, fuck each other wives while wearing masks to hide who they are (you really think Kubrick would've made Eyes Wide Shut if he didn't know that that kind of shit happens irl. Theyl discuss strategies on how to fuck over everyone else on the planet so they'll never have to sweat a drop from hard work unless they want to. They share Panama paper worthy plans and stories from their trips to whomever replaced Epstein. Cuz someone did. I trust the rich two things only, one is be callously, obscenely greedy as fuck and the other: the world's largest collection of pedophiles and rapists. When you can buy anything, including people's children's innocence, with no consequences, what's left to buy? Nothing. Nothing but
Power.
id totally give up a genies wish to make everyone attending their annual event, and their entire poison pill blood line, teleport to the bright side surface of mercury, immediately.
My 2nd wish would be to rapture every Christian to the heliopause.
Humanity would be so much better off, idk if I even need the 3rd wish then

You know, I appreciate Chomsky, but his work is mainly intended to get you reading and thinking more on your own than to give you all the answers. Not everything that happens in the news media is a distraction from something else just because he broke down that one propaganda trick really well. Sometimes, events stay glued to our screens because they really are the main propaganda event of the day, and they really do want you to spend all day and all night thinking about it.

In this case, Israel needs tons and tons of people frothing at the mouth supporting genocide, and Palestinians are needing just as many, if not more, to consider that genocide may be wrong, and they're playing tug-of-war in the media. That's all I'm seeing.

whered he break it down, link?
- I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure the meme and OP are both referring to Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.
He is just another of the right wing wack jobs' boogie men. The mention of his name is meaningless.

Syria is still an issue also.

Also Uighurs in China.
- You guys still on that shit?

Yes, the antisemitism is being focused on to manufacture consent for Israel. It's not (and can't be) deep. Liberals equate supporting Israel as supporting the Jewish people, so criticizing Israel is antisemitism. And then they point out all the antisemitism like that supports their argument.

I can think Elon Musk is a shitter, more racist version of Lex Luthor at the same time I think Israel is run by bloodthirsty monsters.

We're about to see another Hotel Rowanda if that's your interest

Genocide in Africa? Which country this time?
- Sudan. Ethiopia. Mali. Congo. Somalia. Take your pick.

Thank God some people still know what's up.

My opinion. The Israel situation is being popularized because they want to divide and distract the people from the issues in their own countries caused by unregulated capitalism

Oh my God please fuck off with this. Not everything single fucking issue is related to capitalism. You guys need to chill the fuck out and find some new hobbies.
- Fr, what in the world are these comments
