Chomsky...again

 

Overheard on X. A propos our previous discussion on Chomsky. From a xweet by "Chrome Barracuda". 

>>>It's ironic that tankies hate Noam Chomsky. Is it because he wasn't unequivocally pro-Stalin, pro-Mao and pro-Soviet Union?

>>>He criticised literally every American foreign policy decision for decades and was extremely pro-Assad, pro-Putin, pro-Serbia, parroting the exact same talking points that Jackson Hinkle and Pax Tube do. That's a harder position than the vast majority of American leftists.

>>>It's hypocritical to idolise the likes of Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore but dismiss Chomsky as subversive. Only in his 90s did he "soften up" and endorse Biden. And even then, he made a huge fuss about how the West triggered the Ukraine war.

Was Chomsky compromised?

 

A criticism of Noam Chomsky (you know, Epstein´s buddy-buddy) from a hard left/anti-Zionist/borderline anti-Semitic perspective. Note the guy who is dressed to look like the Q Shaman! I assume Jimmy Dore is still looking for a popular front with the populists? 

Be that as it may, this video might still be worth watching. Note also what they *don´t* say about "Deep State Noam". Apparently, he defended the free speech of anti-Semites and denied genocides carried out by America´s purported enemies. Which raises questions about why Epstein was interested in befriending the guy...

Från folkmord till pedofili

 

En kort artikel i Flamman som kritiserar Noam Chomsky. Visste faktiskt inte att han försvarade Faurisson, et cetera. Svarar dock inte på frågan om varför han försvarade Epstein...

Varför försvarade Noam Chomsky den dömde pedofilen Jeffrey Epstein?

They´re all in on it...literally

 

The Epstein-related revelations about paedophilia (hebephilia?) and wild parties involving celebrities, zillionairies and former presidents are scandalous, to be sure, but somehow we knew all that already. 

The main take away from this sordid saga seems to be something else. Again, I have to return to that photo of Chomsky and Bannon, a photo probably taken by Epstein himself. The doyens of anti-Israeli leftism and the anti-Israeli far right, respectively, enjoying themselves at the same party...organized by a pro-Israeli centrist Jew with *extensive* establishment connections.

The reactions to the Epstein scandal from the Alt Right (or whatever they call themselves) are also interesting. After screaming about the Epstein files from years, they all fell in line when Trump abducted Maduro. You know, the same Trump who had denied that the files even existed. Some of these guys still promote Bannon, who was *in* the fucking Epstein files?!

It´s all fake. From right to left, including all the dissidents. *That* seems to be the really sobering revelation. That, and the fact that many seemingly ideologically driven activists don´t stand for anything at all... 

  

You don´t understand 4chan culture

 

Are 4chan and /pol/ creations of Jeffrey Epstein? And what about QAnon? So who is the "controlled opposition"...really? 

But sure, the leftists who gloat about this might stop now. We still remember the Soros-funded Antifa snack van, guys. Who knows, maybe Epstein was behind that, too!

And oh, what about your man Chomsky?

Merry Christmas, world

 

Here is that darn photo of Bannon and Chomsky again, probably taken by Epstein. In hindsight, it´s obvious that Western-style more-or-less-democratic capitalism simply couldn´t be overthrown by a revolution. Any revolution. The system was simply too good to derail and integrate all opposition and render it harmless. See the photo above! Chomsky (the "anarchist" who ended up voting for the Democrats like everyone else) was obviously controlled opposition, but the fact that Bannon shows up in the Epstein files may tell you something about *that* end of the political spectrum...  

The system could only have been smashed from the outside - but even that might have been impossible, Communism perhaps being too integrated itself into certain "geopolitical structures" (and strictures). I mean, how many of the revolutionary regimes in the Third World were really dependent on Western capital for their survival? And what about the Soviet Union itself? Beside, how would such a "smashing" even have looked like, anyway? A nuclear first strike á la Posadas?

There is of course another way in which the Western democratic-capitalism might end: by gradually rottening from the inside. Indeed, that seems to be what is happening as we speak. A process which will end in the simultaneous disappearence of the two main contending classes (whoever *they* are - the managerial class and the lose cannon capitalistas)?

Marxism ended as a utopia. In its un-ironic form, it was just the millennarian cult of modernity. And the paedophiles are always with you.    

 

The Spectacle is laughing

 

"The opposition to the Spectacle is part of the Spectacle itself". I can´t let go of this pic. It shows Steven Bannon together with Noam Chomsky, the photo probably being taken by none other than Jeffrey Epstein!

The far right and the anti-Stalinist far left have a get-together organized by the rottening "Western-liberal" establishment.

I mean...wtf? Maybe the reason why this got to me is that it encapsulates my own political trajectory (give or take a few peregrinations and gyrations). I used to identify with the anti-Stalinist far left. Then, I became interested in the far right (although I never joined it or identified with it). Always in the belief that they somehow, some way oppose the rottening establishment. But this picture strongly suggests otherwise. It´s almost like a symbol. 

Even worse: since I don´t want the European panhandle to become a Sino-Russian Protektorat, I sometimes feel like a pimp for the rottening establishment...

Is somebody somewhere trying to tell me something?

Lab leak

 

A photo of Steven Bannon together with Noam Chomsky?! I mean, wtf. Probably taken by Jeffrey Epstein. Recently released by the US Congress sub-sub-sub-committee on Epstein Files releases. 

Hmmm...

Character witness

 

Noam Chomsky had close ties with Jeffrey Epstein. Here is a kind of pro-Chomsky defense, written by contrarian blogger Michael Tracey, the leading "Epstein Files skeptic". Also mentions Bannon... 

Why did Bannon and Chomsky love Epstein so much?

Recursion

 

Does an obscure Amazonian language called Piraha disprove Noam Chomsky´s Universal Grammar? No idea, as I hardly understand the topic! Me not grok. Still, interesting after a fashion. Tie-in to the idea that the way we look at the world is (strongly) caused by our language.

Aside from lacking "recursion", Piraha seem to have other unique or unusual features. For instance, no numerals, verb tenses or color words. When anthropologist Daniel Everett and his wife tried to teach the Piraha basic arithmetic, the natives gave up after eight months of study. They simply couldn´t grasp the concept.

My wild guess is that the Piraha people are a relict population of a previously complex culture rather than true primitives, and that this somehow explains why their language is so impoverished. They are "devolving". But then, nobody seems to have made evolutionary claims about their lingo, so maybe this observation is irrelevant to the current conflict...    

Jeffrey Epstein didn´t kill himself

A lot of high ranking people, and even Noam Chomsky (!), met with Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction for sex crimes against minors in 2008. Note that the original source is the Wall Street Journal.
