aint it wild how you could read about all the crimes committed by the US government from like a middle school library computer connected to wikipedia, like it’s so casually there
Chomsky talks about how the US is an unusually free country in terms of like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of information.
But I think it also says a lot about how like the government just fundamentally doesn’t consider us a threat. They’ll let us know almost everything, what are we gonna do with that information, revolt? Like they can’t crush us within seconds?
Yea, it’s still wild tho, they willingly declassify information that basically shows them to be mass murdering war criminals/profiteers, but almost no one bats an eyelid
