Chomsky's not talking about "changing our habits," he's talking about mass protests. The examples he gives are the climate strike and the sunrise movement.

- jhanschoo 5y agoI do think mass protests are more fundamental than individually-pursued "changing our habits". Mass protests will start a conversation not just against the institutions that can effect change, but also organize the interests against climate change.
- readonthegoapp 5y agoi don't know exactly what Chomsky means by 'mass popular action', but i suspect that 'mass protests' are just one of literally innumerable -- practically-speaking, hundreds or thousands (??) -- of things/tactics/campaigns/'actions' that whole lots ('mass popular') of people can do.
