    Who knows? Who cares to find out? Chomsky is an ideological windvane.

    He’s… fine when he’s criticizing the US empire but there are much better sources out there and Chomsky is only useful for his prominence but much like Richard Wolff he’s got some really trash takes (barely) below the surface.

    Is it because he’s an op? Is he a reflection of the ideological hangover from the New Left era? Is he just an opportunist? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        What really gets me is that he wrote the book on propaganda and yet he’s a complete sucker for so much western propaganda and he promulgates it himself using his high-profile status.

        Idk and I never will but that just seems awfully… convenient, y’know?
