Yeah, but Chomsky is someone who has spent decades studying and writing about power structures and media’s involvement in those power structures.

I spent a bunch of my years in college reading and watching his Noam’s shit. The fact that he was chilling with this dude, especially after he pled guilty, is a serious WTF moment.

Were they actually chilling together, or was this just written correspondence? Like letters from prison.

Chomsky has always been a piece of shit. He literally spent decades denying genocides and massacres, simping for authoritarians and extremists, and spread misinformation far and wide. I'm honestly not surprised to see him pop up here.

This is a pretty good summery of how genocide has appeared in his works.
