Noam Chomsky is such an old liberal toad, comparable to George Soros. Both are cut from the same cloth. The only difference is Chomsky isn't a billionaire, but his influence on academia and leftist intellectuals is far greater.

A quote he made recently:

quote:

Chomsky has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump and declared the Republican party “the most dangerous organisation in world history” with him at the helm. “The party is dedicated to racing as rapidly as possible to destruction of organised human life," he said in October. "There is no historical precedent for such a stand."


Yep, guys. Republicans are the most dangerous people in world history. And not only that, they want to exterminate all organized human life. Did you realize that, guys? When you voted for Trump, you voted to destroy the world.

Chomsky is one of the most cited academics in history and yet he believes this nonsense. (Or does he? If he doesn't believe it, ask yourself why he would say it.)

He has been on Moscow's payroll since Kim Philby gave him a blow job

Only ****y college liberals and those who never grow out of that phase like Chomsky. Don't pay him any attention.

A long time ago I used to have a long commute and I had called the Michael Savage show and brought up something about Chomsky. For whatever reason Savage of all people seemed to like him and was hesitant to criticize him.

Not sure if they have some sort of friendship at one point to where it might be too personal for him but that really surprised me.

He's not my cup of tea but he does well sometimes. I like his explanation of whether or not freewill exists.



I'm curious, what is his stance?

If you tell me he's a determinist, I'll laugh at him more than before.

Well his work in linguistics and cognition is quite reputable; that's why he is so frequently cited.

Well I think he is quite the opposite. It's one of the areas him and BF Skinner differed greatly as it relates to human behavior.

And why that allows him to promote neo-Bolshevism, I don't know.

Tolkien was a master linguist (y'all probably read HIS translation of Beowulf and any eddas you nerds like), but no one cites his anarcho-monarchy stance as valid.

They may realize that we'll have to move beyond such tribalism if we wish to survive and promote humanism in the world.


Any reactionary worth his salt is well aware of just how loaded 'humanism' is. What a catch-all platitude.

being cited in academics is akin to being well known for your well knownness...fools paradise..

chomsky is nothing more than a kremlin trained mediocre at best on a sunny day marxist dialectic like obarry soetero obama barracks

no one of any relevant academic import pays chomsky any mind...now mind you academia has more fools, flakes, figs, felons and pedos than Comet Pizza these days... end result of barry's influence

It doesn't. The first amendment allows him to promote whatever (which he is a strong supporter of; see his views on the freedom of speech of holocaust deniers).

I mentioned his scientific work because the OP mentioned he was so frequently cited. He was cited for THAT.

You know I meant why his political views are more widely regarded and known than his academic work. Or, at least, that was my point.

Probably, but the OP's citation remark was irrelevant to that though. A person could be a great whatever (in this case scientist), and have ridiculous political views. That doesn't make their other work any less great.

Why? Should we not care about our fellow humans? It's the only reason we've made this far.



'Care about fellow humans' is so incredibly vague that anyone can attach what they wish to it.
