Not a crossover I expected, goddamn. Bannon is literally what Chomsky spent his life-work denouncing. That’s immensely disappointing…
I’m guessing they’re ideologically opposed…but united by a shared love of children that’s much more important to them.
There’s a reason chomsky has been allowed to be the “imminent thought leader of the left” for the past 60 years. He has not advocated for anything beyond voting democrat.
Just because he wrote one truth about the media ecosystem doesnt somehow absolve him from that same truth about the media ecosystem.
He would not consistently be featured in the new york times et al if he was actually a threat to their existence.
eminent
Nah, the left is going to get a real thought leader any day now
Chomsky is in the epstien emails repeatedly too
Chomsky’s got a lot of explaining to do 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Gonna sound like 20-20 hindsight, but I never found Chomsky to be particularly insightful or interesting in the first place. Same with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Naomi Klein. They’re just “meh”. Yeah, they say some things I agree with…but that’s low hanging fruit. They’re always wrong and no more valuable to me than random people I know or meet.
I think Chomsky has some very valid points and have learned a lot from him. However most of Chomsky’s criticism ironically applies to Chomsky himself. Chomsky tries to limit the left to voting Democrat over and over again instead of pursuing other means of achieving change.
Naomi Klein is good, no idea why youre lumping Gladwell, another Epstein intellectual, in with her. She’s not a revolutionary, but she has good insights.
I might have at one time lumped Chomsky and Klein together but these days he’s more of a Gladwell
They boned, fyi.
Fuck this, I’m out…
Haha, who could have thought that a tankie would be fine with US authoritarians? )))
Not a defense of Chomsky because fuck him, but he claimed he was an anarcho-syndicalist, i.e. not a tankie. Not everyone who sucks is a tankie.
I agree that he is technically not a tankie, I guess campist would be a more accurate term. But considering these recent revelations, one would does wonder…
Were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane?
I don’t know. Is Chomsky a tankie?
Can someone who is anti-Soviet and anti-China be considered a tankie?
Of course. as long as you use the liberal the definition of tankie which is ‘everyone who disagrees with US foreign policy’
Real answer: I guess Tito? lol

Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)
In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.
That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?

Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn’t one, so name one.
Those that support Russia aren’t actually left wing they are just claiming to be. So I guess it depends on the definition of tankie.
How the fuck is chomky a tankie. Based on this evidence he’s clearly a lot of things, but calling him a tankie is ridiculous
tankie once more clearly just getting used as a pejorative for anyone an anti-communist social democrat dislikes
Don’t take shitposts so seriously!
A tankie is a supporter of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such regime that follow such a model. Nothing more, nothing less. )

‘i have a ‘very negative’ view of the oligarchs running the dictatorship of capital, but tankies are subhuman roaches’

Yeah I’ve noticed that on db0 they think they’re being “normal” but it’s the fasc they have been surrounded with since birth, but on world they’re liberals who would rather knowingly vote fasc than lose a single penny of profit

i know i shouldn’t expect much from the users of a right wing circlejerk instance, but come on: are y’all seriously calling fucking chomsky a tankie now?
I am not right wing. Believe it or not it’s possible to be left leaning and not spew gibberish like “NATO made putin invade”, “NK is a vanguard against imperialism” and “everything I don’t like is a GIA psyop”.
More so if for example you speak fluent russian, you’ve lived there for multiple years and you’ve studied the history of russian imperialism (be it in the form of the USSR or its current form).
I wouldn’t say Chomsky is a tankie, but his involvement with US oligarchs and authoritarians does make one wonder…
FYI, I consider tankies to be supporters of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such models.
Liberals are right wing, you are a liberal
RIP Overton Window, we hardly knew ye
no u
Lol try harder

“In American, liberal means left wing!”
No, that’s a Nazi lie that’s been brainwashed in for 25 years by Fox News and the GOP.
“We’re bringing the red scare back, boys, until we can kick out everyone left of us!”
Liberals are right wingers. Full stop, end of story. They are center-right, they can be progressive on social issues, but they will always sell you up the river on anything economic. For example: gestures broadly at everything Jeffries and Schumer have done since Trump was elected
Liberals in other countries are still pro-capitalist, you may now commence to shutting the fuck up

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Chomsky is in the “vote blue no matter who” camp though?
