        Chomsky wallows in & fetishizes human misery - always has - but things are objectively getting better for almost everyone, aren't they?

        In a rational world, madman Chomsky would have zero influence over anything.

        Yes, everyone who doesn’t share your right-wing libertarian views is a madman and should be marginalised. Grow up.

        Yes, the wisdom of that longtime level-headed and mainstream political commentator Noam Chomsky is exactly what we need right now.

        Chomsky’s solution for problems created by government is bigger government?

        Why isn't this another example of "Intellectual but idiot"? There is little evidence and a wholesale acceptance of the blank slate.

        Gee, I wonder what he thinks. Before election he said trump was hitler. Very learned man EO Wilson said was incomprehensible.

        Chomsky Signaling? I mostly don't disagree with him (except on behaviorism) - but he's so obliviously uninteresting. Cranks love him.

        "I don’t think things are quite that bleak" then "the only hope of survival is a first strike — which means the end for all of us." YIKES
