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.

His writing always came across as grossly patronizing and know it all to me. I checked out some of his language developement theories a long time ago because it was an area of interest to me. He traveled a linear path based on some narrow assumptions about what humans are, cloaked in cultural superiority, to reach his conclusions. My definition of stupid. I expect that style was confirming to a certain class of readers. I never bothered with anything else of his that was recomended to me. Why waste my time.
