is he the most overrated hack alive today?

>>2173925
No. But he is THE example of speaking outside of where your field covers

>>2173925
He came up with some interesting theories and models on grammar. What he has no business doing is commenting on things like politics, seemingly like every other celebrity.

I don't agree with him on virtually anything but he is very intelligent and makes interesting points.

I despair of the people on 4chan who aren't even able to deal with arguments made by people and counter them and simply come on a Mongolian knitting forum and say "x is a big, smelly poo and I hate him". Yeah, great going guys.

His delivery is calm, his ideas are usually poignant. I trust his wisdom more than people on 4chan, whose main technique of argumentation seems to be burdensome strawmen.

As for Oikophobia... what? Fear of the home? If anything one might accuse him of sitting around too much and doing too little but oikophobia?

>>2174020
>"x is a big, smelly poo and I hate him".

thats basically what Noam did to Sam Harris though when the topic of a debate with him came up. Noam brushed him off as a racist who did nothing but call people names (lol) all because Sam is critical of Islam, which is a sacred cow to Noam, since it is a brown people religion.

>>2174025
>His delivery is calm

So what? How does this make him right?

>As for Oikophobia... what? Fear of the home?

yeah, he very clearly is oikophobic, as are his sophomoric followers. His entire ideology is just 'blame america for it." Im sure thats really profound for highschool kids, but its pedantic drivel to everyone else.

Lets not forget that Noam is a denier of the cambodian genocide and thinks America just made the whole thing up.

>>2174032

I can't remember Chomsky calling Harris a racist anywhere in that email exchange.

Also, Harris, who I do actually like and agree with on some things, gets the same on /his/. Start a Harris thread and see how many posters pop up who aren't able to articulate anything other than "Harris is [insert lame insult]"

I thought he criticised coverage of the genocide at the time thinking it was overblown but later admitted he had been wrong?

>>2174071

no. He, along with all the other leftist academics at the time (cultural marxist) downplayed the genocide as nothing but American propaganda, even calling survivors of it CIA agents. Then after it was all revealed to be true, chomsky doubled down on his bullshit of "i-it wasnt even that bad!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2959030709&feature=iv&src_vid=idy8m5V8uLI&v=UuQ8Qb0ej38

you should also look up who Malcolm Caldwell was. He was a marxist academic who went to Cambodia on some propaganda mission to say "see you silly westerners, they dindu nuffin!" and was brought on some bullshit regulated tour by Pol Pot. So his own guards murdered the guy so the other reporters would be forced to write about the horrors of the regime. They didnt want some stupid western leftist dick suck to contribute to their suffering and wanted to force the truth out.

>>2173929
Pretty sure he has spent more time being a social critic than a linguist
That if he is speaking on it, it's his field.

That doesn't disagree with what I said though.

>>2174100

>>2174108

You originally claimed he is currently a denier of the Cambodian genocide, which is non-factual. Stop talking shit.

>>2174122

yeah because he is a denier of it, as you yourself have already admitted. You said he later admitted he was wrong, I pointed out how he didnt, and then you somehow took this to be me not disagreeing with you.

You are trying to turn this into a pissy argument over semantics instead of just admitting you were wrong. I guess you learned that trick from your hero Noam, huh? lol

>>2174133
>yeah because he is a denier of it, as you yourself have already admitted. You said he later admitted he was wrong, I pointed out how he didnt, and then you somehow took this to be me not disagreeing with you.

You responded by pointing out he doubled down on his position decades ago. Post a citation from the last 20 years showing he denies the Cambodian genocide or stop lying.

>>2174141

>>2173925
Not really, as far as the left wing goes his views are pretty well rounded and robust. I say this as an insufferable neoliberal "free market fanatic".

He scolds the US a lot, but then the US is the most powerful country and he lives in it so that is not a huge hypocrisy. His socialism leans towards the utopian, but then it has to be because that is the only way he can be consistent with such an unrealistic ideology. He seems to hold the position that both individual rights and other goals like ending poverty are morally important and makes a effort to reconcile them where they contradict.

Not many people get that far and this makes him a special snowflake.

>>2174153

Who moved goalposts or backtracked? Certainly not me. You claimed he is currently a denier of the Cambodian genocide. I said my understanding was he denied it at the time and later admitted he was wrong. I haven't changed that to a different position and since you did make me bother looking it up to double check I was right........

>How did a man who describes the Khmer Rouge regime as "the great act of genocide of the modern period" come to be vilified as a vocal supporter of Pol Pot?

because he did just that, as did every other cultural marxist intellectual at the time.

What l dislike about Chomsky is how he puts winning a debate above all else, regardless of how irrelevant the topic may be. One second he's ready to defend the Khmer Rouge, and the next he's dehumanizing his opponent over petty shit.

>>2174354

What are you even talking about?

Where is your citation from the last 20 years where Chomsky denies the Cambodian Genocide?

Just to be clear I'm not some general "Chomsky supporter". I disagree with him on virtually everything. I queried you on a specific point because I am the sort of person that likes to separate facts from bullshit.

It turns out you weren't being honest and he doesn't deny the Cambodian Genocide.

Learn to make good arguments rather than bad ones.

>>2174355

I like how noam chomsky shilled like a mad man for obama, outright trying to shame people for even considering voting for a third party, and then he started to bitch non stop about Obama in an arrogant "lol I told you so!" way

>>2174369
>Where is your citation from the last 20 years where Chomsky denies the Cambodian Genocide?

this is what Im talking about. I proved you wrong with a source of Chomsky himself saying it and then you bitched on some arbitrary criteria about how its "omg 20 years old!"

even when your source was 20+ years old.

you were wrong, you are making excuses, deal with it.

>>2174372
Y'know, part of me can't help but admire the guy for winning a lot of arguments just by getting under people's skin and getting them faught up in semantics even though he's wrong most of the time.

Has anyone succesfully called Noam out on his shit?

Chomsky is based because he was popular enough to shed light on the mass media propaganda machine and actually be taken somewhat seriously.

Right-wingers hate Chomsky because they think NY Times-reading liberals like Chomsky. Liberals like Chomsky the way that conservatives like Evola - there's just no intellectual or ideological connection.

Chomsky is just more of a realist that many self-proclaimed "realists". Saying that you understand the Middle East while admitting that you think that Islam is a death cult proves that you're no realist.

>>2174377
But you claimed that Chomsky /still/ denies the Cambodian genocide when he clearly and explicitly doesn't, and shown by the sources listed by that other anon.

>>2174377

You said "Noam is a denier of the cambodian genocide" >>2174038

You do understand what the present tense is in English, right?

>>2174335
That's actually a good advice

>>2173925
I think he's underrated since I mostly see detractors talking about him, simply because in their mind he represents the leftist intellectual, and see very little praise given to him and few supporters.

What? He is constantly criticizing the foreign policy of the United States for beign amoral. A political realist would never do something like that.

>>2174452

He does offer a realist defense of that however.

His thinking is that he is an American Citizen and taxpayer and voter and it is morally incumbent on him to criticize and try to change the things the US government is doing wrong.

It's not so much that he claims no one else ever does anything wrong as that he holds a responsibility to his own society to hold it to the highest standards.

>>2174085
He clearly means percentage of population in that context when he uses the word 'scale'.

First, chomsky has nothing to do with marcuse, who's work he considers worthless (as the rest of the postmodernists). You are wrong regardless of the existence of your retarded conspiracy, so you might as well give up at this point of the post. Second, "cultural marxism" is an oxymoron, which by definition can't exist. Third, "cultural marxism" implies much more than the existence of marcuse's work, namely a conspiracy related to how that a couple of irrelevant postmoderns managed to subvert the entire western culture. Fourth, nobody gives a fuck about marcuse, and you'll have trouble finding a single "swj" that knows who he is, let alone one who has read him.

Because he isn't usually taught in universities nor cited in papers. It's extremely rare to find him in curricula or a journal that isn't specifically about critical theory. He's literally irrelevant to everyone but stormfags.

>new left black panther/communist party member Anegla Davis disagrees with you on that one
Ah, yes a video of a disciple of marcuse talking about marcuse proves the vast and deep influence of marcuse and the existence of a conspiracy to subvert culture. I'm sure you also think that a video of a jew saying shit about whites proves a worldwide jewish conspiracy.

>Dont get mad at me for correcting you on a topic you clearly know nothing about. Its pretty obvious you didnt even bother doing 5 min of google research on this, you just parrot "culural marxism isnt real!"

As i said, he isn't taught nor cited. Anyone with a minimum level of intelligence would realize that posting a video of a person talking about marcuse doesn't prove a wide influence, much less a conspiracy. Also, i'm still waiting for you to explain how an oxymoron exists irl.

He's not really much of a celebrity, to be honest. To a lunch table of co-workers (all college educated young 20-somethings at the time), I once casually mentioned a Noam Chomsky talk that I saw advertised in a newspaper. Every single one blinked and shrugged, not recognizing the name. One girl thought he was a Hollywood producer of some kind.

Now, if only 'politicians' were allowed to comment on politics, we'd be even more fucked than we are now. He actually knows what he's talking about. He is one of our era's great thinkers, and I am sure that history will still remember him as such in a couple centuries' time.

t. a degree-holding linguist. (For what it's worth, I'm not a huge fan of his linguistic theories. Not totally wrong, but I think better more convincing answers lie elsewhere)

Gee, your post is so intelligent and nuanced itself.

Actually, studies show a majority of 'radicalized' militants joining various terrorist groups are not even from particularly religious backgrounds.

The biggest predictor seems to be (pre-existing) tendency to criminality, along with a feeling of nihilism and hopelessness. Between the rock of brutal police states in the middle east (many American-supported, btw), and a hardplace of backwards Islamic culture, young men with no real education (whose numbers have increased exponentially thanks to medicine and modernization) are squeezed and squeezed. Then slick groups with cool shit like AKs and bomb vests promising paradise show up.

"Cultural marxism" isn't a theory. It means nothing outside of a retarded conspiracy, and marxism is by definition materialist so "cultural marxism" can't exist.
Here's a short paper explaining the stupidity of the conspiracy that even someone like you who's never read marx nor marcuse can understand:

>The guy was literally called the "father of the new left" and you are seriously trying to pretend no one knew who he was?
I'm not pretending anything, he isn't taught, he isn't cited, and he certainly isn't discussed among "swj", and the only reason you know him is because you're a /pol/tard, and you haven't even read him. The documentary you posted has barely 20k views. He didn't magically manage to subvert western culture with his magical postmodern powers. He's just a useful retard that stormfags use because he says what they want to caricature their opponents with.

>>2175165

Well, he certainly plays IR theorist in his books. He doesn't pretend to be a part of that academic community. He doesn't present papers or original research (likely because he'd get torn apart). However, he is more than happy to criticize others like he is an expert.

>"Cultural marxism" isn't a theory. It means nothing outside of a retarded conspiracy

I find that 'cultural marxism' is basically the right-wing version of the 'neoliberalism' boogyman. No one actually calls themselves a neoliberal/cultural marxist, it's usually the other side calling them that. They are both always defined by the same people who critique the ideas, sort of like a one-two punch.

Since you did the same shit to me, I dont care. This also isnt a strawman anyway.

marxist believe marxism isnt rising around the world because of cultural reasons, therefore, they try to take control of culture and direct it torwards marxism, hence the name "cultural marxism" your autistic adherence to marxist dogma isnt an argument and this idea that marxist culture is impossible doesnt even make sense.

>I'm not pretending anything

yeah, you clearly are pretending no one likes him because you dont like him. The guy is called the father of the new left, stop pretending he had no influence.

>He didn't magically manage to subvert western culture with his magical postmodern powers

>marxist believe marxism isnt rising around the world because of cultural reasons, therefore, they try to take control of culture and direct it torwards marxism, hence the name "cultural marxism"
Impossible from a marxist perspective, the mode of production determines culture not the opposite. Try reading marx instead of memes next time.

>yeah, you clearly are pretending no one likes him because you dont like him. The guy is called the father of the new left, stop pretending he had no influence.
No, i'm "pretending" he is not a major influence because he isn't widely taught or cited (nor discussed among the people you pretend he influenced, "sjw"). I won't repeat myself again until you put an argument forward.

>wow, did you really fucking link me to your highschool english report as if it was some badass appeal to authority? So I posted Marcuse himself, and a famous commie saying how much she looked up to him, and your response is "yeah, well this blog post says its not real!" ? You are really horrible at this anon
I linked you to a basic paper covering the subject in a basic way in hopes that you'd read it. From the time it took you to respond, you didn't. I'm not surprised, you don't actually care about truth.
Videos of "Marcuse himself and a famous commie" don't constitute an argument toward what you are trying to prove.

>>2175281
More like in marxism culture is determined by economics, therefore saying cultural marxism is fucking retarded.

>>2175312

>muh semantics!

thats real nice, but you were objectively wrong. Marcuse is the "father of the new left" but he has literally no influence on anyone because some anon on said so lol.

>>2175317

so in other words, exactly what I fucking said. No wonder marxism is such a failure, its followers are completely retarded space cadets

>>2175348
Marcuse isn't cited, taught, or discussed, but he has literally subverted the entire western culture by himself because some anon said so lol.

>>2175348
Did you just learn the word 'semantic'? You've used it 6 times in this thread as a cheap ploy to sidestep actually responding to a challenge and defending your points. Absolutely no one is fooled by your obvious lack of knowledge.

You're a rabid ideologue, we get it.

>>2175359
>Marcuse isn't cited, taught, or discussed

except he is. Why are you ignoring that he is referred to as the "father of the new left"?

>>2175397
>Why are you ignoring that he is referred to as the "father of the new left"?
Because it doesn't fit with their delusional narrative.

>>2175383
>semantic

second time I used it in this thread senpai. And the hypocrisy of you calling anyone else a radib ideologue is hilarious.

>>2175397
>Why are you ignoring that he is referred to as the "father of the new left"?
Because i don't need a proxy to assess his influence. Also because it's not related to his current influence but to his past one.

What a rockstar.

>>2175359

youre entire argument this entire thread has been "yeah, but my sociology professor said..." tier shit. Youre a rock with teeth

>>2175413
>Because i don't need a proxy to assess his influence.

The fact the he is called the father of it utterly destoryes your made up claim that he isnt influential because of "muh citations"

also you now conceding to the fact that "well he was influential in the past!"

You're just repeating yourself, anon, and forcing me to repeat my answers. It's quite boring.

>>2175454
>It's quite boring.

Because you are being stubborn and keep repeating meaningless non points instead of just admitting you were wrong.

>Try to make a thread about the Noam
>/pol/acks come out of the woodworks to shill

I'd really just like to hear some legitimate criticism or summary of him from someone that doesn't have a narrative.

>>2175466
I'm not wrong about chomsky being unrelated to "cultural marxism".
I'm not wrong about "cultural marxism" being a contradiction in its terms.
I'm not wrong about marcuse being irrelevant in today's academia and among "sjws". Use google scholar to compare him to others or check your favorite university curriculum if you want. Your own videos are niche as fuck.
I'm not wrong about the retardedness of thinking that marcuse changed the entire western culture.
I'm not wrong about you not having read any of the shit you discuss and relying on /pol/ memes.
You haven't proven any of them wrong. You're free to try while i go to sleep.

>>2175522
>I'm not wrong about "cultural marxism" being a contradiction in its terms.

yes you were

>I'm not wrong about marcuse being irrelevant in today's academia and among "sjws"

yes you were, and its evident by the fact that you are now moving the goal post to "in today!" since you realize you were COMPLETELY wrong about him having no influence.

>I'm not wrong about the retardedness of thinking that marcuse changed the entire western culture.

strawman point I never even made

>I'm not wrong about you not having read any of the shit you discuss and relying on /pol/ memes.

yes you were+ad hominem

>You haven't proven any of them wrong.

except for when I proved you wrong about the fact that Marcuse existed and was influential, to which you kept replying "muh citations"

youre a stubborn ideologue who was wrong and bitches about semantics to try and cover up this fact. Im done with you.

>>2175522
>I'm not wrong about the retardedness of thinking that marcuse changed the entire western culture.

yeah, because its totally rational for all incoming freshmen to be forced to take african american studies. At least cultural marxism failed horribly like every other form of marxism though

>>2175274
Most of the economists adhere to neoclassical economics

>>2175533
>yes you were
No, i'm objectively correct, in marxism culture is determined by the structure, "cultural marxism" mean nothing. Your answer to this was "muh semantics!" which obviously isn't an argument.

>yes you were, and its evident by the fact that you are now moving the goal post to "in today!" since you realize you were COMPLETELY wrong about him having no influence.
I used the present tense in the entire discussion, retard, feel free to check. I started by saying "nobody gives a fuck about marcuse, and you'll have trouble finding a single 'swj' that knows who he is, let alone one who has read him", and the next post i said "he isn't usually taught in universities nor cited in papers. It's extremely rare to find him in curricula or a journal that isn't specifically about critical theory. He's literally irrelevant to everyone but stormfags.". That being said, marcuse never had even remotely the impact stormfags attribute him.

>strawman point I never even made
Part of the cultural marxist meme.

>yes you were+ad hominem
I asked you three times during the discussion if you had read any of the shit you were discussing and you didn't answer. I find it hard to believe i'm wrong in saying you didn't read shit.

>except for when I proved you wrong about the fact that Marcuse existed and was influential, to which you kept replying "muh citations"
Because it's a method normally used to assess an intellectual influence. You haven't proposed an alternative. Good job proving that "marcuse existed" though (??????????????).
Now i'm going to sleep.

>>2175547

you guys realise his only political "theory" is reciprocity, right? which is the same standard used by jesus, right?

he shows how what applies to other countries doesn't apply to the US, especially in the media ("manufacturing consent"). since vietnam he's just been illustrating this point.

there's nothign controversial about it. even /pol/tards say the same thing now, pic related. but the decry chomsky for having said it for decades beforehand lmao.

>>2175410
Search thread for usage of the word. If there's more than idiot ITT pussying out of backing up his arguments, I wouldn't be terribly surprised.

I'm also not the anon you've been bitching with.

Why does alt right have to lie to express their point of view? No uni even offers 100 level aa studies youre using hyperbole because someone forced you to learn about diversity not magic racial conspiracies and youre an alt right zombie with a cuckolded world view and an impossible objective of monoculturalism

A neoliberal is basically a liberal/conservative (distinction is nearly irrelevant) that likes to believe in general liberal market ideas, but with none or very few of the 'social' liberal ideas of the last 150 years. Basically, 'liberalism for me and my pals, everyone else can fend for themselves'.

Claiming to be a classical liberal is retarded, because the classic liberals wrote at a time before industrialization was even 5% what it is today and capitalism did not exist yet.

A neoconservative is basically the same as above, but falls just a little more to the right of the same "me first" thinking. Add in something about Jesus, a superiority complex, nationalism, and that's about it. Neoliberals don't care if slaves are white, black, brown or yellow or where they're enslaved, the money's the same.

>>2173925
Oh look, another anon disagrees with a prominent liberal academic. What shock.

>>2175104
Chomsky is the single most cited scholar of the 20th century in academia. He is literally an academic celebrity. Just because you and your friends don't talk about him doesn't mean he isn't famous or well-known.

well that's just plain wrong

>>2175679
Check the dates, m8. Industrial-scale pervasive capitalism as we know it was not really a widespread 'thing' yet. It was only just starting. They could not have quite imagined the world we have today.

I find them great reading, a solid basis of perspective and eminently quotable, but using them as a realistic model for governance in 2016 is a bit silly.

>>2175708
you're changing what you claimed now. capitalism DID exist, but of course the modern incarnations of it did NOT exist.

"I mean the great act of genocide in the modern period is Pol Pot, 1975 through 1978 - that atrocity - I think it would be hard to find any example of a comparable outrage and outpouring of fury and so on and so forth." -- Noam Chomsky, in the documentary "Manufacturing Consent," 1993.

Is it because all Chomskyans are braindead retards?

>>2173925
is this the guy who blamed the rise of the Khmer Rouge and the Cambodian Genocide on the ebul USA rather than the Cambodian and Vietnamese Communists?

>>2176862
Maybe but the very mention of his name seems to trigger people into chimping out.

>>2176899
Yeah I can't even blame Chomskyans desu. Both sides seem to be on completely different ends of the spectrum with no middle ground whatsoever. So one side always gets triggered no matter what.

That wasn't me buddy. I also didn't link to a "blog post", and it wasn't written by me either. You didn't even read it, so how would you know if it is reputable or not anyway? It's impressive how you can be consistently wrong about everything you post tbqh.

lol, Chomsky is not a communist, and has *plenty* of criticism for it.

Casuals who clearly have no idea about the issue, and clearly haven't read anything by Chomsky, shouldn't comment.

>>2176590
I'm not whatever anon you think I am. I didn't post any links. You are shit-flinging at more than one person, moron.

i like Chomsky his voice is soothing. I use his talks to help me fall asleep.

>>2176862
To me it honestly appears more to be /pol/ sheep sticking their heads in to a thread, clearly without knowledge of the authors or ideas, and posting a few memey lines.

>>2176872
