Terrorists are vulnerable people? I guess I'm not surprised that's coming from Chomsky.
It's disappointing that he used the word "staged". This just feeds the idiots who think everything is staged.

- otalp 10y ago>Terrorists are vulnerable people? Neither are elitists, it was a spoken interview and he means that 'terrorism' will be taken as the boogeyman to explain away stagnating wages, increasing inequality and all the problems that modern America faces. The rhetoric will be that it's not concentration of power at the top and a broken system that caters to corporations that's the problem, it's people wearing hijabs and immigrants.
- badcede 10y agoHe obviously means that those are the labels used to do the scapegoating.
