Yeah, The whiplash I got from reading MSM is what made me read Manufacturing Consent. From there it was just a continual journey leftward, especially because that was around the time I had to start fully supporting myself by selling my labor for sub-minimum wage.
I don't know why manufacturing consent gets a bad rap from communists, like I know Chomsky is a lib and his conclusions don't nearly go far enough, but like 95% of the book is them presenting American atrocities that you've likely never even heard about and detailing how the American media lied about it.
I think it's important to remind people that Chomsky sucks. Especially anyone who's read Manufacturing Consent. Otherwise you risk them sliding back into liberalism and not radicalizing.
If I hadn't been bullied about it I never would have kept going and reached the correct conclusions instead stewing in Chomsky's contradictions.
