Wonderful to see more people reading your excellent work! Russel Brand prefaced the Overton window quote from Noam Chomsky, by saying that “some of you are not fans of Chomsky” but I’ll read this quote that you might like…. I have nothing but extreme respect for Noam Chomsky and I have heard this thing a few times now about how he has fallen out of the graces of the “left”. Can anyone explain why?
His take on COVID was on the rather authoritarian establishment side. He said the unvaccinated should remove themselves from the community and access to food was "their problem." I really appreciated his Manufacturing Consent, though. That doesn't mean he's infallible or that we need to agree with him -- or anyone -- 100% of the time.
Thanks. I had not heard this. Many felt that vaccination was the best route, but I suppose that he was perhaps overstating that position. Someone else told me that some people were upset that he endorsed Biden as the “lesser of evils”. I think these are small criticisms and shouldn’t obscure a lifetime of amazingly insightful analysis. People can be so petty and unfair…
Noam has never embraced the conspiratorium, which is odd in a way, but his research always relies on the provable fact-based reality, however disturbing, that all mainstream academic critics employ. It’s his loss, but I get it. He’s an old man now and he just hasn’t found his way out of that blue pill labyrinth of govt and big business that he could so deftly navigate for so many years. Naomi is another one. They’d lose half their audience if they took the plunge. Chomsky did appear in a 2015 video damning the globalist west’s attempts to bring in the Ukraine to their fold as a bad idea and would only rouse the Russian bear from its hibernation
