Chomsky has supported "anti-imperialist" russia and ignored all warnings by the eastern European people, who dared to walk out on socialism in a freedom movement. Blood on the hands, blood on the quill, blood in the will..
- rijoja 1y agoThat might be true, but it doesn't disprove the fact that this is happening, does it?
- yard2010 1y agoI think it's a matter of lesser evil..
- lokashun 1y agoChomsky also believes 2+2=4. Is that also wrong because you don’t like some of his other beliefs? You seem to think so.
- ashoeafoot 1y agoHis language hierarchy holds up, but thats not how this works . You can not heap personal catastrophic beliefs into a train waggon and by proof of chaining that train, your work is invalidated or valid and valued. His academic works stand independent of the unsavoury character -similar to Werner von Braun. But that doesn't remove the fact he supported "any-but-american-imperialism" decorated with racists undertones ("the brown people can not be perpetrator and victims at the same time") and tried to undermine the western value based world order.
- lionkor 1y agoThis is an inexcusable ad-hominem argument. This is not how we discuss things on this platform.
- curseofcasandra 1y agoChomsky is right about some things and wrong about other things, like every human is.
