““Neoliberal democracy. Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls. The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless…In sum, neoliberalism is the immediate and foremost enemy of genuine participatory democracy, not just in the United States but across the planet, and will be for the foreseeable future.””— Noam Chomsky (via graceisred)
Noam Chomsky did not write this. It was written by Robert McChesney. By now the wrong attribution has spread to the point where top google search results repeat the error.
It’s kind of an interesting (though relatively minor) problem: how to get a handle on the proliferation of these errors as the technology speeds up their proliferation.
