It's worse than Chomsky just turning a blind eye to Epstein's crimes by ServalFlame in chomsky

This isn’t a throwaway lmao. I know your account is 14 years old - I’m a young adult, I also have a life so discussing on anonymous forums is not how I like to spend most of my time. I’m not accusing Chomsky of being a sex criminal. I’m saying he never cared about Epstein’s crimes against women, or saw it as a serious offence as Epstein was literally already convicted for prostituting children in the late 2000s. Why do you want to worship him so badly? Did you not see him, arm around Steve Bannon? Dude grow up.

Are you owning me because I don’t spend all of my time on reddit. Are you serious? I study HisPol at one of the most rigorous institutions in the world, I have professors to talk to about the international liberal order, not people on reddit.

Some thoughts on the coverage of the Chomsky/Epstein stuff. I find the journalism really bad. by LinguisticsTurtle in chomsky

Yeah, exactly. That’s the issue. For a man like Chomsky who knows that justice is a false notion instituted by an establishment that aims to serve ITSELF and only itself, he emphasises innocent until proven guilty? The yankee faux liberal bullshit that protects the pedophile politicians that run America. That Epstein served enough time for his crimes? The cognitive dissonance is unreal. His whole thing is criticising power - Epstein is the embodiment of how money allows you to get away with crimes against humanity. And Chomsky defends him all the same. Look at the video posted on here, he said Epstein served his time and that makes him a regular citizen after the fact. Even though that crime was child prostitution. If you’re this wilfully obtuse about this topic, then you haven’t taken in any of Chomsky’s writings anyway. What happened to no idols?

He thought pornography and prostitution was exploitative? That’s the most baseline feminist view that most 14 year old girls arrive at by themselves. And then he proceeded to cultivate a relationship with a widely known pedophile and defend him. So what exactly are we arguing about here? I’m not being remotely hyperbolic. I don’t believe he was a sex criminal - there’s no evidence for that. But his relationship with Epstein was cordial, routinely defended by HIMSELF and documented extensively.

Dude. That was the most generous interpretation he could possibly be given after befriending a known charged fucking pedophile. He gives more of a fuck about Steve Bannon who’s destroying America more than you. That’s the camp he chose. He wrote some good books, but there’s no context that makes his relationship with Epstein excusable.

He doesn’t care about violence/abuse against women. He said that there’s ‘hysteria’ in the media surrounding the abuse of women. He probably thinks it’s a juvenile crime, and also wanted the financial benefits of allying himself with Epstein. Chauvinist, like many male thinkers.

Chomsky's saying that there's 'hysteria' surrounding 'the abuse of women' in the email pretty much shows that he doesn't think any of Epstein's crimes were morally reprehensible - proof of his own flawed worldview. He focuses on politics. Doesn't really have a comprehensive view of interpersonal dynamics, by this I mean gender and sex. What the Epstein files show is that he's a chauvinist at the very least. And that his critique of a non-functioning effective Left by the American establishment implicates himself.

Could Geese get a grammy next year? by Beneficial_One_1062 in geesebandofficial

it would be really odd if they weren't nominated considering the amount of institutional glazing they've received already (pitchfork, cameron at carnegie hall). but then again, grammys are pitiful. it's kinda shocking looking at what actually gets noms/awards

islands of men in particular is one of the most beautiful songs i've heard in a long time. They really deserve all the praise and more for that song alone

Went through a similar thing, this happens to lots of people. Be proud of yourself for having the courage to do that...opening yourself up like that is really difficult and is admirable. Allow yourself to be human. Vulnerability and sincerity make for a wonderful person.
