Updated from ‘The Function of the Fake Binary‘, May 16 2022 In his 1998 book The Common Good, Noam Chomsky describes the key role that managed disagreements play in modern politics… The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views.
