What are your thoughts on Noam Chomsky?

A better linguist than political thinker.

He's still thinking in terms of trees, not rhizomes. Everything is related to everything, man. Get on my level, and let the sunbeams up your ass. You can't stop desire in language, it will break free and make you Animal.

>meme philosophers
Chomsky is one of the original "meme" philosophers. Holy fuck, did you never go to college? The old line about vegans applies just as much to Chomsky-devotees: "Q: How do you know if someone is a Chomskyite? A: Don't worry, they'll fucking tell you."

They can't shut the fuck up about the guy, no matter what criticism you apply.

And I genuinely admire Chomsky. He has a knack for asking good questions. He sometimes just comes up with retarded answers. He's also so fundamentally American in his way of thinking. Hell, after his debate with Foucault I think he'd earned himself a chapter in The Metaphysical Club.
>>
Liked him for a while but then I heard him outright lie about my country to gain political points with the Americans he was speaking with, something I previously thought only conservatives did.
>>
>>1470881
What country?

His thoughts on Michael Moore are essentially that even though much of his films are inaccurate over-generalizations at best, and fat-out lies at worst, but doesn't have a problem with the guy because they're both on the same team.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtm-JmnSK_E

He's almost the Michael Moore for professional stupid people. The only difference being that even though both are usually wrong about history and the present issues of the day, Chomsky doesn't knowingly lie to his audience.
>>
>>1470734
>What are your thoughts on Noam Chomsky?

Never trust a man who can't admit when he was wrong. To this date, Chimpsky still hasn't retracted his glowing endorsement of the Khmer Rouge. This is really all you need to know about him.

>ITT blue collar rednecks who can shitpost 5 hours on /pol/ tell one of the most cited academic on earth to stfu

Ad hominems aside it is very ironic that on one hand people accuse liberals for being elitist on the other hand they spout "do what you do, leave politics to those elites who know it" elitism on people they don't like.

He is though. He explains the world from a very American point of view.

He's "americentric" in the sense that all problems are caused by America

>>1471876
Yup, it's playing to Americans beliefs that the US is more important in world affairs than it actually is, when it's a multitude of different countries that have contributed to the current order.

Chomsky exemplifies anaemic ethics. He is a good egg and wants to make the world a better place and I have no doubt he would be incorruptible if he had authority and I will be sad when he dies, but he is utterly incompetent when it comes to eliminating crime and corruption in others. Some of his policies might make things difficult for le evil corporations, but I suspect things would start to look like Venezuela soon and he would be ousted by some strongman demagogue who represents the side of socialism he dislikes, he would let Islamists walk all over him, the cold war would still be going on if we followed his advice. Too naive and trusting, he would lose his 87 year old anal virginity.

He's the most influential linguist of the 20th century, if not of all time. He created transformational grammar and a lot of other stuff. I'm pretty sure that every major innovation in linguistics for the past 60 years was either directly due to Chomsky, or in reaction to something Chomsky did.
>>
>>1470754

I like when he went on firing Line and went full "COMMUNIST DINDU NUFFIN" By actually claiming communist never tried to invade another country before WW2

That is LITERALLY the core of neo-cons

You mean how alt-rightards call anyone who they think is acting against their self interest a cuck?

People happen to be assholes who think they're entitled to the livelihood of others because they have the """right""" opinion. Just overheard two of the hickest motherfuckers shit-talking in a park about phone use making people zombies. These geniuses thought we should all strictly use landlines; because cellular networks can just be "turned off" and somehow landlines can't. Fuck off with your shilling. Everyone does this.
