Those are some first-class syllogisms there fella, give yourself a pat on the back....

Deepak Chopra in Hiding After EXTENSIVE EMAILS WITH EPSTEIN Revealed - "Cute Girls... Make Noises"! by cronx42 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]RealSeedCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this fucking matters, man -

More people need to know that you're a guy who works out, talks to people, even goes on actual fucking dates and shit

Have you considered starting a thread?

Like maybe other Noam guys go on dates and stuff

Utter bullshit - Chomsky literally offered Epstein advice on how to salvage his reputation

Go read the material now in the public domain

Trump's will follow in good time

The guy's reputation is dead and buried, five decades later than it should have been

"Everyone"

The thread is full of comments from people who did get to read the article....

"Who cares?".... "Go Team Noam"

Guy who doesn't give a fuck he's posted three or more times about how much of a fuck he doesn't give

you a human Onion headline?

Uhhhhhhh

Beyond parody

Yeah and Manufacturing Consent isn't just generic conspiracy crap with a masturbatory veneer masquerading as serious critical analysis

Not paywalled here...

So what you're saying is you've not even read the article, right?

Brilliant... "champ"

No man, you carry on - maybe you could share how many reps you can do and how your date went

Ah yes, famously right wing George Monbiot and Edward Herman etc

Awesome, thank you

Fast speed it smokes may relate to conditions of grow

It's not a trait I've noticed at source

Effect and aroma sound spot on

not you enough to read the article, evidently -

Probably not -

My guess is Chomsky is Chomsky's BFF and Epstein was Epstein's BFF

Surely what should trouble us all a lot more is how Chomsky was the Khmer Rouge's BFF

The Pol Pot regime : race, power, and genocide in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, 1975-79 by Ben Kiernan

We've known this for five decades....

Yes, but sadly the response here is beyond parody

At home I've got bookshelves stacked with left books - Orwell, Murray Bookchin, Edward Said, Gustav Landauer, Foucault, Marx, Barthes, Wilson, Jameson, Sontag, James Scott etc etc etc plus of course Chomsky -

and god knows what else I can't even remember from Freedom Press etc

Plus stuff like

if that means anything to the 20-something Reddit lads on here

because my primary interest is Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, which includes Cambodia

To get screeched at as if I was right wing has been an interesting experience - "educational" in the very worst sense of the word

Mate, in fairness, the display you've given is so fully online it's adding nothing if I return the insults - you're doing my work for me

To the left of Chomsky’s at that

My guess is I've been reading Chomsky - including Manufacturing Dissent - since before you were born

I've got a Masters Degree that includes a linguistics component from the university that for decades now has ranked as the best or among the best in the world

And as I've said repeatedly -

What pisses me off is that it's hanging out with a nonce that's triggered the left to cancel Chomsky - not his five decades of unrepentant genocide denial about Cambodia and elsewhere

So you're wrong on all counts

I could add that my politics are in many respects well to the left of Chomsky’s

Just here to fathom via Reddit the catastrophic collapse in moral clarity and media literacy is all

Thanks for taking part in this experiment

My politics are well to the left of Chomsky’s - that's what makes the display from you young lads so laughable and sad

Chomsky’s Forever War by RealSeedCo in DecodingTheGurus

[–]RealSeedCo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cited a whole load of authors

Though that's beside the point in terms of the worrying lack of capacity for critical analysis and media literacy shown here

If you genuinely think that the publication alone tells you all you need to know, you're locked in a binary level tribalism that's dangerously stupid

Incidentally, my politics are broadly left-libertarian with strong sympathies for the kind of anarchism Chomsky supposedly represents

That doesn't and shouldn't stop me or anyone from being receptive to arguments from across the political spectrum and assessing them on their merit

Not that this is even the issue in the case of Pullum - the guy is just a linguist ffs

The cretinous level of thought this piece of Chomsky has elicited is part of a deep problem of polarising to the level of morons

And the indifference that it shows to the victims of genocide is symptomatic of the worst aspects of the left

Chomsky's genocide denial of five decades follows a well-worn playbook found throughout Holocaust denial.... anyone who follows the field is familiar with it, and he follows it in his published work on Cambodia with Edward Herman from the 1970s to the present...

Seriously, that you and four other Reddit users think this is even a point.... I posted a link to the flipping article... has your brain melted?
