In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
so if anyone makes any money and then keeps it they are compromised and evil and only due to the hidden hand of imperialism positioning them to achieve it
well no. well kinda. bc I didnt say that anyway.
all I am saying is that if Chomsky was an actual threatening radical that could effect real change then he would not have been allowed to do business deals with Epstein, email with Ehud, maintain positions at the highest levels of academia, and profit handsomely off of his work.
and to tie it back to the original post from tame_deuces, the reason he was allowed or given such notoriety is bc his anti-authoritarianism could be used to criticize actually revolutionary movements like the Soviet Union, Iran, North Korea etc.
he was doing business deals with Epstein for one.
Chomsky held cushy academic positions for his whole life and made millions of dollars. he was never censored or canceled. even leaving aside the Epstein stuff, if the ruling class viewed him as a threat then he never would have reached such positions.
Chomsky *is* one of the ruling class.
agreed

All you established is that the elites aren't threatened much by a dissident intellectual in the US as they are a foreign mass revolutionary party with state-seizing capacity.
The elites back in the day could've easily assassinated Marx. They were undoubtably threatened with his ideas spreading but it's the mass organizers that they're really threatened by and Chompsky wasn't one of them.

Why would Chomsky be cancelled? American elites could generally care less about academics. The average person doesn't have a clue about Chomsky unless they watch PBS on Sunday's.

bruv, my whole point is that they wont cancel him. and that is bc he doesnt actually challenge the status quo, or Imperialism, or the Ameri-Israeli Empire.
they did cancel MLK, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, George Jackson, Huey Newton and countless others.

not true, he was widely criticized and blacklisted for his skepticism of the crimes of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. He was also widely criticized for defending the free speech of a holocaust revisionist. Just because you don’t know about these things doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

You literally just proved my point. Those folks you listed were activists on the frontlines. They weren't academics. Chomsky challenged the status-quo from the Ivory Tower.

Plenty on the far left say the same about Bernie and AOC as Victor is saying about Chomsky. For some of them anyway, anything short of calling for violent revolution or any attempts to fix the system from within basically makes one the enemy of the real, true Left.
But I don't think Vic is a full-blown Marxist revolutionary. That crowd actually wants ICE and Israel out there doing what they're doing along with someone like Trump in office, militarized police forces in our cities, racial and economic tensions, etc.
When did marijuana become the next conservative crusade? You miserable asshats literally hate everything good
I lost my blunt today out walking because I was dealing with off leash dogs and I put it out because a lady was coming the other way walking two German shepherds, one off leash one on and I had to control my dogs. I had barely smoked it. Put it in my pocket and now it's gone.
what's this marijuana hullaboo?
Yes, its making the rounds in the twitter derposphere
In case anyone wants cliff notes: People who will get schizophrenia at some point in their life will still get schizophrenia if they smoke weed or do drugs
Sounds similar to the myocarditis panic with the vaccine. The people that had myocarditis from the vaccine are likely the same ones that would've gotten it worse from a covid infection. The difference is they are healthy when they got it so they noticed it and reported it.
That's just a personal theory of mine, though.
