Oof. You guys hate pretty hard on Chomsky. Whatever his faults (I'm sure they're many), he brought a lot of anticapitalist and anti-imperialist messages to the (semi) mainstream. You may argue that he was allowed to do so as he wasn't left enough, bur he was a big part of a lot of people's journey (mine included). I say give him his due and leave it there, at least in terms of politics/philosophy. Recent revelations around is relationship with Epstein excluded!

Most people here have a soft spot for him similar to Bernie Sanders. And he has some good work; people clown on him but ask around and people will still recommend him

Ok but how do YOU stay edgy and signal your doctrinal purity ?
