Jeffrey Epstein was perhaps the most salient embodiment of what feminists refer to as "rape culture" in the last few decades. A billionaire who ran in the circles of the rich and powerful while sex-trafficking young girls and women, who received a sweetheart non-prosecution deal in the late 2000s from
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.

🤦 What Was #Chomsky Thinking?

Why…?! 🙄 🤦
People have always too easily hand waved the fact that Noam #Chomsky was a lifelong professor at #MIT: the academic and research capital of the American military-industrial complex. Combine that with Chomsky's outspoken anti-communism and you have a picture not just of controlled opposition, but possibly a bona fide establishment mole -- a sleeper agent embedded in the left.
In this context, his friendship with Jeffrey #Epstein is far less surprising.

Erst gestern wieder gelesen, wie sehr einige Linke enttäuscht sind, dass #Chomsky so eng mit #Epstein war und mit Neonazis wie #Bannon rumhing und wie niemand ahnen konnte, dass der so drauf ist.
Ja, wirklich überraschend, dass Noam "die roten Khmer sind die Guten" Chomsky ziemlich verstrahlte Ansichten hat und zweifelhafte Kontakte pflegt...
Können wir diesen linken Personenkult nicht mal hinter uns lassen?
"Epstein worked hard to manipulate and befriend Chomsky and his wife by offering them financial services, and at one point offering them a place to live. Meanwhile, Chomsky was particularly vulnerable to such offers because he’d found himself in a highly distressing family dispute over money "
Noam Chomsky’s life and work cannot be understood without taking into account his militarily-funded linguistics research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). There were, I believe, always two ‘Noam Chomskys’ – one working for the US military and the other working tirelessly against that same military. This contradiction cannot explain every aspect of Chomsky’s puzzling friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. But it is the underlying contradiction that helps us understand why someone as radical as Chomsky ended up being involved with someone as reactionary as Epstein.

Well worth the read. No one is all piety. At the same time, it lets me off the hook for not being willing to disentangle Chomsky’s prose. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Decoding Chomsky for introduction to Chris Knight.
