- cheaprentalyeti 4y agoCitation needed? Hmm. I'm unsure on the whole style guide, but I suggest this site for a good breakdown on Chomsky's various evasions and surgically crafted half-truths about the Vietnam War and its aftermath: https://reaction.la/chomsdis.htm https://reaction.la/chomsdis.htm

- random314 4y agoSince you are the one making the accusations, can you actually cite noam chomsky's articles/interviews instead of linking to 3rd parties that simply repeat accusations. 99% of chomsky takedowns are about what the accuser imagines what chomsky thinks, or would have said and how awful he is. Just quote chomsky directly to buttress any specific accusations you have instead sending people down citation free word salads. I can link to 100 random articles to refute your 100 random articles as well.
