cannot say this enough:

i knew of Chomsky first as a linguist, so it always struck me as odd that USA’s “Left” paraded him as the second coming of Marx. notwithstanding his books and articles about USA imperialism, compared to other “white guys in academia” like Howard Zinn and Noel Ignatiev, Chomsky never seemed to be a danger to the establishment.

this photo of him with #JeffreyEpstein in the Lolita Express depicts perfectly what my guts screamed: he’s well-paid, controlled opposition.

@blogdiva reading Decoding Chomsky right now (highly recommend it so far, but I'm not very far in) and yeah it's pretty damning
