Not a crossover I expected, goddamn. Bannon is literally what Chomsky spent his life-work denouncing. That's immensely disappointing...

Chomsky is in the epstien emails repeatedly too
Chomsky's got a lot of explaining to do 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
There's a reason chomsky has been allowed to be the "imminent thought leader of the left" for the past 60 years. He has not advocated for anything beyond voting democrat.
Just because he wrote one truth about the media ecosystem doesnt somehow absolve him from that same truth about the media ecosystem.
He would not consistently be featured in the new york times et al if he was actually a threat to their existence.

Fuck this, I'm out...
Gonna sound like 20-20 hindsight, but I never found Chomsky to be particularly insightful or interesting in the first place. Same with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Naomi Klein. They’re just “meh”. Yeah, they say some things I agree with…but that’s low hanging fruit. They’re always wrong and no more valuable to me than random people I know or meet.
