Ah yes, the famous pentagon blue maga shadow task force focused on lemmy.

Yes! These charts are not that difficult to understand. Why aren’t they spamming these all over the place?

They could just run only things he says as political messages.

Still, nothing seems to work for people that are part of the cult.

I bet half of the people still voted for the republican.

Apparently they are gaining ground in the polls.

I only saw the one text saying march

March 2024… Useless data.

Firing squad any day.

If lemmy becomes just a bit more popular, the same thing will happen

I know. It’s fucked up. I always looked up to him, now I even look the same lool :)

Different people take different things from it, there isn’t a correct and an incorrect way.

Sounds like excuses to me.

You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.

Gaza is calling for trump to be elected?

Or what else did you mean?

Are you a troll or really that stupid?

I don’t know, it sounds pretty impressive to me. I don’t even know when my wife is angry.

Ai is the way!

For sure, I agree. Much respect to chomsky, a great man that influenced a lot of people for good, but I don’t think he would mind a jab from me on this relatively obscure social network 🙂.

For sure. I have much respect for the man and everything he has done. The reason I stopped having him in the highest regard is not that he got some stuff wrong, but that I started taking him as academic in the sense that his view is limited by the direction of his studies. I don’t think he has a deep grasp on how the world works, because he has spent more than half a century preaching the same stuff. I don’t think he is the kind of man, who can step away from his work and say there is more to global politics than American hegemony, if I can exaggerate a bit. The are certain grey areas and paradoxes in the world that chomsky tries to rationalize, but fails to notice how incredibly subjective his academic viewpoint is.

What I resented recently was his comments on Ukraine, where he couldn’t get out of his skin and immediately tried to put invasion of Ukraine into context of American wars. He should have been completely aware that that is exactly what the worst of Russian propagandists are saying. Ok, he is really old now, but Geez.

Anyway, incredible body of work of great importance.

He is making it easy to discredit with comments he made even about Ukraine.

Don’t get me wrong, I still really respect the man, but as I got older, I see him as an academic. I don’t see him as someone who can explain how the world really works.
