finally something good from chomsky
Chomsky has some good reads/critiques. I mean, if you’d like to post an example of something on which you entirely disagree with him it may help your point and start an interesting debate :)
His critiques of AES is revisionist and verges on dogmatic anti communism. He is a poor socialist.
Do you mean AES the encryption protocol? :P
Sorry i have no clue what you’re talking about and i fail to see Chomsky as anti-communist although i’m open to arguments. I’ve read him time and time again dismantle capitalist / libertarian arguments… So feel free to link an article explaining what you’re talking about :)
“He has said that contrary to what many in America claim, the collapse of the Soviet Union should be regarded as “a small victory for socialism”, not capitalism.” This is some major bullshit, and stems from the most westernized viewpoint I can imagine. It’s just Pathetic. AES means Actually Existing Socialism.
modern linguistics?
I have read that his contribution to linguistics are overrated. Problem is it was a medium article that I cannot find anymore.
I think linguistics is overrated in general…
I have STEM attitude to most social sciences.
Starting with George W Bush, who is a mass-murderer and a war criminal.
not starting with him; the ones before him were too.
george bush laying flowers to commemorate victims of war in ukraine and demanding justice to war criminals behind it is when universe should have collapsed onto itself, and blissful void regained reign over this nonsense called reality
For example, one general at the Tokyo trials, which were the worst, General Yamashita, was hanged on the grounds that troops in the Philippines, which were technically under his command (though it was so late in the war that he had no contact with them — it was the very end of the war and there were some troops running around the Philippines who he had no contact with), had carried out atrocities, so he was hanged. Well, try that one out and you’ve already wiped out everybody.
The more power you have, the more accountability. The longer we let those in power skip the questions of justice, the longer atrocities will be committed.
