“The System’s Not Perfect, But…”

My latest post is a critique of the myth that liberal capitalism is the best solution we have. If the system keeps failing the many, maybe it’s time to imagine something new.

Noam Chomsky y sus vínculos con Jeffrey Epstein según los documentos divulgados

Recientemente se han publicado 23.000 documentos relacionados con Jeffrey Epstein, el financiero y depredador sexual fallecido en 2019, revelando contactos más estrechos de lo previamente admitido entre el empresario y el filósofo estadounidense Noam Chomsky, de 96 años. Los documentos muestran que ... [Ver más]

> DF: NPR says that Kennedy was “the father of the modern presidential campaign.” What does this even mean?.. an educated, liberal, indoctrinated slogan?
> NC: ../ he was the first to use TV effectively as a propaganda tool, beginning the modern process of turning political campaigns over to the PR industry, which is dedicated to undermining democracy just as it is to undermining markets in its major pursuits. NPR liberals probably regard this as a good thing. It keeps the rabble out of our hair.

Chomsky had deeper ties with Epstein than previously known, documents reveal

Newly released emails show Chomsky maintained regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein years after the financier’s 2008 conviction, including exchanges about meetings, travel and a letters of support.

@Remittancegirl

an intellectually honest person can criticize the West, and other countries, on the same moral standard

it's patronizing and infantilizing to nonWesterners to not do that

but many "great thinkers" can't, and this tedious trap is unfortunately all too common, including with this asshole #NoamChomsky

look up what #Chomsky said on #Cambodia, #Bosnia, #Ukraine, etc, and be disgusted

fuck this hack

let the insipid cult of Chomsky die off as it deserves to

@Remittancegirl

fuck #NoamChomsky #Chomsky

he's brilliant?

he composes his thoughts with great erudition, yes

but the content is typical dreary contrarian edgelord shit

it is often a trap with Westerners criticizing the West, that Chomsky fell into, that they downplay and explain away the crimes of other countries

or even, inexplicably, the crimes of other countries become, magically, a crime of the West

I have seen too many intellectuals, authors and artists I have deeply admired and respected; turn out to be vile human beings in the past decade.

A little heart broken #NoamChomsky appears to be getting added to that list.

Seriously depressed and weary.

Noam Chomsky. Those Russia statements, those Epstein links: they don't surprise me.

I never trusted the man.

Exceptionally intelligent, pampered by a highly selective elite university system, with a deep urge to make an impact, but everything he does is coloured by supreme arrogance and pathological self-regard.

Over the decades, my own political views quite frequently have overlapped with Chomsky's, at least on the surface. I always treated any such overlap as a regrettable coincidence. I shall continue to ignore the man.

The scandals coming into view with Harvard Professors like Alan Dershowitz and Lawrence H. Summers in the Epstien Files have me going back to Responsibility of Intellectuals (1967!!) by Noam Chomsky... It's no surprise the money, power, and status has people lying with few consequences in support of USA corrupt policy for Israel and Wall Street Economics now.. For back then, I wonder if The Kennedy "Intellectuals" may just be lucky there wasn't unencrypted e-mail back then, so we won't know what sort of perverse rapey pricks they were in private life, if their private lives match up with their policy participation like they do for Dershowitz and Summers...

When Arthur Schlesinger was asked by The New York Times in November, 1965, to explain the contradiction between his published account of the Bay of Pigs incident and the story he had given the press at the time of the attack, he simply remarked that he had lied; and a few days later, he went on to compliment the Times for also having suppressed information on the planned invasion, in “the national interest,” as this term was defined by the group of arrogant and deluded men of whom Schlesinger gives such a flattering portrait in his recent account of the Kennedy Administration.

It is of no particular interest that one man is quite happy to lie in behalf of a cause which he knows to be unjust; but it is significant that such events provoke so little response in the intellectual community—for example, no one has said that there is something strange in the offer of a major chair in the humanities to a historian who feels it to be his duty to persuade the world that an American-sponsored invasion of a nearby country is nothing of the sort. And what of the incredible sequence of lies on the part of our government and its spokesmen concerning such matters as negotiations in Vietnam? The facts are known to all who care to know.

... there is indeed something of a consensus among intellectuals who have already achieved power and affluence, or who sense that they can achieve them by “accepting society” as it is and promoting the values that are “being honored” in this society. It is also true that this consensus is most noticeable among the scholar-experts who are replacing the free-floating intellectuals of the past.

Let me finally return to Dwight Macdonald and the responsibility of intellectuals. Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. “Why should they? What have I done?” he asked. Macdonald concludes: “Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster.” The question, “What have I done?” is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities

Turns out Noam Chomsky, more famed at this point for his pro-Russian views than anything else, used to have constant "academic and personal" exchanges, both via email and in-person, with Jeffrey Epstein.

I heard that Noam Chomsky rot into supporting #putin and #russiaisaterroristState .
Here is a proof of how deeply he rotten.
"Russia is fighting more humanely and with more restraint & moderation than the US did in Iraq".

> What was his role in Indonesia? He was one of the strongest and most vocal supporters of one of the worst murderers and tyrants of the late 20th century. Human-rights activists in Indonesia can’t even remember a case where he said a word about human rights, or about democracy. He was just a strong supporter of the murderous, brutal tyrant and aggressor Suharto. And in fact he remained so, even after the Indonesians had finally thrown him out.

Is PW in the files too?

It's fkn painful, but it has to be said:

"Noam Chomsky Is a Scumbag"

"From Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Krauss to Woody Allen, Chomsky has shown a clear pattern of poor judgment and low moral standards. Hard to express how disappointed I am in him."

Now that Alan Dershowitz has been outed as a rapey pervert with the Epstein release, there's an urge to revisist his 2005 debate with Noam Chomsky over Israel/US policy..

Reading the screenshots of emails between Krauss and #NoamChomsky and JeffreyEpstein and just... having flashbacks to my university days stuck working in a lab where progressive, genius profs were all covering for each other's sexual crimes.
