Chris Hedges: I know and have long admired Noam. He is, arguably, our greatest and most principled intellectual. I can assure you he is not as passive or gullible as his wife claims. He knew about Epstein’s abuse of children. They all knew. And like others in the Epstein orbit, he did not care.

@ricardoharvin Didn't know of this. Betrayal feelings here tbh. Have his books on our shelf.
@JulianOliver I've been hoping #Chomsky would be able to issue some statement of his own. This now from Valeria Chomsky, helps somewhat: https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/official-statement-from-valeria-chomsky-regarding-jeffrey-epstein/
"Carty, I am not going to let go of Noam #Chomsky."
Whatever, your choices never mattered as much as you think they do.
Fucking *do* something, tell us about it here.
Two or more generations of left activists have grown up reading Noam #Chomsky's fearless exposure of the US imperium. Many now feel shattered, duped, and bewildered by the revelations of the extent of his relationship with #Epstein. Chris Knight explains what lies behind this extraordinary paradox, the Two Chomskys

Okay, if even Aaron Mate drops his support for #Chomsky then it signals that the “world’s brightest intellectual” became a friend so toxic that even scumbags who built their whole career on systematic denial of #Assad war crimes in #Syria like Mate consider him a liability. Both Mate and Chomsky never missed any opportunity to deny and justify (in that order) any possible war crime conducted by Russia or other regimes as long as they were declared anti-Western attitude. Chomsky started early, by fiercely denying Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in 1970’s.
@benroyce yes and Putin apologists seems to be the beginning of many of them turning.
#tankies are mindless contrarians
"i hate the usa so i support vile regimes" is not principled nor moral
the moral, principled approach is to castigate the #USA *and* #Russia
supporting Russian #imperialism in the name of opposing American imperialism is just fucking stupid
so supposedly intellectual #NoamChomsky is functioning on the same level as a 14 year old edgelord in this fashion
#Chomsky's pedophile apologism in the #EpsteinFiles is just the final nail in the coffin
@benroyce Wow I knew he was a bit of a tankie but not the Epstein thing, now I do, I absolutely agree. That's certainly a hard reason to fall-out.
unfortunately leftists morphing into right wing turds has a number of examples in this world
when it happens we sever all ties
#NoamChomsky is a piece of shit
we cannot think of him in any other way except scorn
that he once said something insightful is still true, and we can use his past thoughts usefully: quietly, to ourselves
what we can never do anymore is attribute any of that to a man who is now human scum
the name Noam #Chomsky is now rat poison
i won't troll you but i will castigate you
never mention #Chomsky again
nevermind him licking #Putin's boots over the invasion of #Ukraine
Noam is in the #EpsteinFiles defending #Epstein
he did this *after* Epstein was revealed as a pedophile human trafficker
Fuck #NoamChomsky
And I am not attacking the left, ironically, in contradiction to what I have said above:
A pedophile/ #imperialism apologist is not of the left
Chomsky is not of the left
Not anymore at least

New DOJ dump shows #Chomsky emailing Jeffrey fucking #Epstein in 2019 telling him to ignore the heat and calling it “hysteria… about the abuse of women.” Reminder: Epstein had already pled guilty in 2008. The “where there’s smoke there’s fire” take… from Noam? Christ.

Just in time. Here's a video: Why Noam Chomsky is Garbage
Just in time. Here's a video: Why Noam Chomsky is Garbage
Just Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein casually exchanging emails about Venezuela’s socialism not being real socialism.
this is a fun few minutes https://woe-industries.itch.io/you-have-billions-invested-in-generative-ai
Noam Chomsky et Steve Bannon
Noam Chomsky et Jeffery Epstein en jet privé ?
A fantastic take by Greg Grandin outlines exactly how moral posturing by the culture warriors and vested interest of the liberal elite and alt right converge to try malign the greatest public intellectual and scientific thinker of our times.
