    EDIT : Thank you for your comments. Please don’t send me more replies, as everything that needs to be said has been said, and is now starting to tread the thin line between anti-zionism and anti-sematism.


    I still don’t get how he ended up in that position.

    No, like seriously. Practically.

    He’s a fucking left wing linguistics professor. Even if he’s a giant pedo, how does he afford to get a ticket to go to epstein island? If he can’t afford it, why does epstein give him a free ride? He’s on the opposite side to chomsky.

    did the book sales for manufacturing consent get him that fucking rich?

      His net worth is <$2M.

      At that point in his career, Chomsky was getting invited everywhere because he was branded “the top intellectual in the world”.

      People would see him speak and not understand a damned word he said.

        It’s not like Chomsky understood anything he was saying outside of linguistics.

      Chomsky is a Zionist which publicly supports the genocidal Apartheid and is anti BDS.

      Most of Chomsky’s criticism is correct but coincidentally applies to Chcomsky himself.

        Chomsky is neither a Zionist nor anti-BDS:

        ‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’
