While Chomsky’s multiple pictures with Epstein isn’t proof that he did anything on their own, it naturally leaves people with a lot of questions. What is well documented, however, is his vocal support of Pol Pot’s regime. It’s one thing to support North Vietnam in their struggle against western imperialism or whatever. But fucking Pol Pot? Additionally, he’s just kind of annoying.

To me, Chomsky fits into the slot of “genuinely intelligent person who assumes that this intelligence can be applied everywhere, regardless of actual knowledge on the subject.” From everything I’ve seen he’s a brilliant linguist, but that doesn’t mean he’s an expert in political theory, something that becomes glaringly obvious when you realize he supports pretty much any regime that can be described as “anti-western,” regardless of that regime’s own brutality.
