Noam Chomsky is one of those people that some people will defend reflexively without even thinking.

Try not to have powerful people that you defend reflexively without even thinking.

That's abuse culture.

"Noam Chomsky didn't abuse any girls".

Um, my friend, how can you possibly confidently state that like you know that for sure? Especially when Chomsky has now been exposed as having a lot of correspondence with Epstein, mentioned how excited he was for "the Caribbean island", & told Epstein he was sorry that he was having "Me Too" problems & commiserated about how terrible it is to have women speaking up about abuse. To name a couple things.

@artemis I'm kind of feeling vindicated because I always thought he was sus as hell and got beef from my leftist friends for it.

@artemis Chomsky set off red flags for me even before the latest revelations. I don't even remember what the first clue was.

@artemis I don't know who Noam Chomsky and I am hoping someone offers a description of what type of work made him famous.

@artemis
I just threw away a bunch of his books.

Maybe he didn't have sex with any underage or trafficked women, I don't know, and can't know.
But I know stink when I smell it, and him corresponding with Epstein after the sentencing just reeks.
Chomsky willingly engaged with and provided support for that guy, and for that, they can both go to hell

@artemis maybe the left has to come to the realization that you can be politically perfectly right and still personally be an asshole. many such cases.

@artemis Chomsky doesn't even deserve this level of passionate defense he's getting.

His entire career is wrecking. He admits the system is bad but offers no solution and then criticizes everyone who tries to find one. That he has ties to Epstein - an established Western & Israeli intelligence - coupled with how he gets mainstream recognition & acknowledgment while people like Michael Parenti get buried in obscurity just establishes that he's only here to stop radicalism; not foster it.
