Can we talk about the new revelations about Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein?
>The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.
>Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.
>Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.
>The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.
>Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/noam-chomsky-jeffrey-epstein-ties-emailsA couple of things:
1. How could any principled anarchist be friends with a billionaire?
2. I get that Chomsky radicalized a lot of American Gen Xers and Millennials. Anarchists in the 90s and 2000s looked up to him as a god-man of sorts. He wrote many books that have become classics among the Gen X and Millennial American left. But how will this stain his reputation? Will he be cancelled? His books burned or thrown in the trash?
3. Is this a case of "live long enough to be the villain" or was Chomsky always sus?
4. How do you think Michael Parenti and Slavoj Zizek are taking this news?

>>2687271The spoiler filter was accidental.
>>2687278Sloptuber still fails to see that anarchism got majority astroturfed by sociademocrats, liberals a long time ago, and its opponents deny there being anything else, ignoring the minority of principled anarchists that remain in IFA federations
>>2687278>>2687279Also that description
>radical activist>radical>activisttheres nothing radical about activism, lmao, shitlib, as expected from a sloptuber
>>2687279>>2687280So you're not going to listen to their actual discussion? Okay.
>>2687286this feels like trying to tell doggies all the "feel good" words
"who wants a treat?"
"wanna go for a walk to the park?"
"do you want belly rubs?"
they don't know what's relevant anymore, same old regurgitated shit, they don't know about the anarchist-communist that have been trying to create a program for all federations, the analysis and arguments on the instrumentality of the state to see the contradictions of the first international, the push for condemndation of modern "anarchists" as liberals and reactionaries, the critiques of pre-AC schools of thought, they don't even know AC is mostly founded on Malatesta and Carlos - sloptubers barely mention Carlos because he even received a thanks from Marx for his work
>>2687288they dont know about the AC trying to implement economic planning, they don't know about the AC criticizing popular fronts and condemning the failed projects of the past analyzing them to learn from the mistakes, they don't know about the AC who want to do away with trade, exchange, commodity production, property, the value form, trade for a form of planning, they don't know AC writings on planned production….
Instead its all the same libshit buzzwords.
>>2687305Which Max? Not Blumenthal right?
>>2687289What did she do?
>>2687327She isolated Chomsky from his family, and honey trapped him.
>>2687286How are they wrong about anarchism?
How will this board respond when Chomsky finally dies?
Will he get a sticky?
>>2687332Because using chomsky as a point of critique for the whole of anarachism is absolutely retarded, also the sound on that video is atrocious, I'm sure that whole hour video could be condensed in a 3 paragraph twitter post.
I listened to 5minutes and it's clear they are just talking out of their ass and their whole argumentation is built upon whatever view of anarchism they got from looking at fucking twitter slop, completely unserious.
>>2687324Not a single word in that image is 'word salad/vomit salad', you illiterate fucking retard. Go buy a rope.
>>2687375What a mess, it's like watching succession, but somehow worse
>Pls Jeffrey sweety my honey trapped husband's children are being literal nazis!!Bro she loved this guy lmfao
>Meanwhile I'll reread King Lear Chomsky is a fan of schizo ethnographic maps confirmed?
>>2687390king lear needs to explain himself.
>>2687379The text in the pic is just self evident shit that has been obvious to everyone since the 19th century, your added text is the empty wordsalad you cretin
>>2687315I remember this interview, he actually starts giggling like a little schoolboy about his new wife. In hindsight a disturbing moment
>>2687266its a possibility. i also heard she was much younger. not against age-gaps, but we've seen his pattern before, like kash patel.
>>2687407Extremely weird for sure, converts are basically always retarded and crazy regardless of religion, but jewish conversion is rarely heard about, seems like she's an actual mumbo-jumbo believer tho. Also Noam "having an hour of reflection in the synagoge and taking the opportunity to read the bible in Hebrew" is odd, isn't this guy an atheist? I guess he is a Jewish linguist, but still. Did the 50 y/o pussy really dazzle his 90 year old ass this much?
>>2687348They're obviously referring to colloquially understood american anarchism. Because Chomsky was THE anarchism guru for unitedstatesians for a good while. No shit they're not mentioning your preferred based brand of anarchism in a chomsky video.
>>2687412>Because Chomsky was THE anarchism guru for unitedstatesians only for people who arent anarchists.
>Bernie sanders was THE socialism guru for usiansSee how dumb that sounds now?
>>2687407>what sane person converts to Judaism?Tim Watley did for the jokes.
>>2687430You joke but this is kind of true. Bernie was the diet version of socialist (social democracy) while Chomsky was the diet version of anarchist (khmer rouge thought) and they were significant as representatives of both of those things to the broader population. You don't need to be super precise all the time just to criticize the sort of movements or ideological strains they spawned. I wouldn't necessarily consider a dsa berniebro to be an avthentic red marxist patriot but I wouldn't really care if someone like that calls himself a socialist or gets called a socialist by someone criticizing that movement.
>>2687443Imagine getting written out of your dad's will at the suggestion of Epstein lol. No wonder his wifey loved this guy
>>2687407>Like seriously, what sane person converts to Judaism?either a weird protestant background due to US missionaries in brazil or maybe a weird catholic who found converting to judaism edgy and rebellious
>>2690369Christ man imagine having this type of shit in writing. "You are my best friend Jeffrey, to know you has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, I will cherish you always."
Even Bill and Donald weren't glazing his ass this much. What a disgrace. I hope he's still somewhat conscious these days and he's aware how much this is destroying his reputation
>>2690373>I hope he's still somewhat conscious these days and he's aware how much this is destroying his reputationChomsky never admitted to being wrong about anything in public life. If he hadn't had that stroke a few years ago he probably would've doubled down and ruined his reputation further
>>2675427Chomsky seems to be saying there that success of black people like C. Rice today compared to 400 years ago cannot be explained by evolutionary change because that's too short, implying that it's due to changes in society. What is your problem with that.
Blood will out. It's a big (((club))) and you ain't in it, goy.
