Re: Noam Chomsky's wife responds to Epstein controversy
#102What many people overlook is that, in Marvel terms, Epstein was not the kind of villain that Magneto or the Red Skull or Thanos are/were. Epstein was the kind of villain that Wilson Fisk or Norman Osborn or Alexander Pierce are/were. The former don't make any attempt to hide their evil. The latter go to great effort to have public personas that do good. Wilson Fisk for example was known to the public and most authori…
I prefer to think of Epstein as Wormtongue (Lord of the Rings) - whispering plots and schemes into the ears of others.

We went to prison in the mid 2000’s for soliciting under aged girls for prostitution so any relationship since then cannot really claim ignorance.
And how many people here had ever heard of his conviction for soliciting before 2019?
How many here hang out with obvious Mossad agents?

#104From the emails I've read, Chomsky prematurely handed a big chunk of his net worth over to his children. With the new wife and the move, Noam was burning through cash at considerable speed. His kids started tightening the purse. Jeffrey Epstein came in as a financial fairy godmother to wrangle the purse strings back from Noam's kids. Given that Epstein and Maxwell were working hard for Israel, and Chomsky is a famous…
I’d like to know more about Normal Finkelstein and why you consider him a hero?

Ah yes, Noam Chomsky, the famous right wing authoritarian.
That's the thing though. Paperclips transcend ideology. That and I'm not sure what Chomsky actually advocated. He was a tireless critic of American and Western imperial ambitions, but what would he replace them with? I get the impression it'd be some kind of authoritarian command economy socialism, which anyone with half a brain knows will turn into a totalitarian system where the ones running it are "more equal" tha…
Noam Chomsky was a self proclaimed syndicalist.

No, far less than rightwing incels and "nice guys" who want to subdue women because they think that "they deserve to have the attention of any woman"
Weird tangent. Let's quantify it in number of rapes / demographic.
Almost all of the rapes are in-family, so it's more often white people that lean right-wing and know the victim

Norman is a hero because he is the only character in the emails so far who brutally rejected his invitation to the pedo party.

What a legend. I only knew the name, now I will read the books
Re: Noam Chomsky's wife responds to Epstein controversy
#109Amazing when it comes to Epstein (and other controversial actions/decisions) how detailed and open minded we are when it comes to someone we liked and supported, and how cut and dry we want things to be when it's someone we don't like.
I don't know, it seems Bill Gates pretty quickly flushed any goodwill he had cultivated with the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation once the Epstein stuff came to light, although views of him before that point were certainly mixed still.
I think the difference with Chomsky is that he is in many ways a modern-day guru with adherents who are naturally resistant to viewing their teacher and leader in a negative light.

He has been intellectually dishonest in his political writings for a long time.
How so?
He has very selective skepticism. It always applies when talking about US, Israel, and others on his list of bad guys, but is mysteriously dropped when discussing whether e.g. Khmer Rouge are "democratic" or whether Russian invasion of Ukraine was "provoked" by US.
