>The United States is an extremely insular society; people don't know anything about the outside world. Students in colleges, that don't know where France is. You know, it's just, they don't know anything. Remarkably different from Europe and other countries.

Chomsky can't even hide his burger level here; like a true burger he uses the lowly, plebeian example of geography as a measure of knowledge, rather than things like cultural awareness or world politics, which is what's important to everyone else who already knows geography.

Burgers, listen up! This is a really important test for each and one of you (for your future in a toll booth) and I know you haven't had very much time to study for it before this post, so please answer carefully:

Where is France?
A. The Atlantic Ocean.
B. The Moon.
C. Western Europe.
D. Banana.

I go to a fairly good school (in a red state no less) and on the 2nd floor of our main student union building a large playroom was made out of our student affairs office for the week following trumps election.

Having studied, lived, and worked around the world and interacted with many foreigners, I can tell you that this is absolute bullshit. People around the world are generally equally as stupid as Americans if not more so. Asian education promoted rote memorization, but zero critical thinking skills and Euro education focuses or arts and literature to the detriment of everything else, for example. Also, Chomsky is a pseudo-intellectual dickhead. Ignore everything he says.
>>
>>68206518
amen to that. you can observe zero critical thinking skills on /int/ as well. people are full of stupid stereotypes about each other. close to 100% of all posters here are complete morons but amazingly they can speak english so well and that's what threw me off at first. but apparently, like you said, it is just rote memorization which has nothing to do with being smart.

>>68187677

Building and promoting an insular society was a smart move by the US establishment.

It enables nationalism, worship of 'national values', blind patriotism, all this views and attitudes that culture-shock non-americans, and you can basically sell the populace the idea that America is best. The best and only. Moreover, America is the world.

It's a bit like that in Russia too.

Being impermeable to the outside world is probably the only way to keep such a large and diverse population in line and, at the same time maintain an hegemonic position.

The problem, big fucking problem, will arise when that's no longer the case and this insularity becomes unsustainable. When Cletus and lads from South Carolina meets the world as a citizen of just another country.

Woah.
