Chomsky advocated for putting the unvaccinated on an island. It shows you the power of propaganda, that a guy who's spent his life criticizing the regime, can be so easily taken in by regime narratives, and become even more extreme than the regime itself.
Except he's not right on that particular issue. He's describing something that leftists have been doing for centuries, that he himself has done to others, and bemoaning the concept of it righteously blowing back on him.
It's hypocritical as hell and has all the intellectual weight of "no u."

...that would mean that he's right. If this is how rulers limit debate (and I think it is one of the ways), then it wouldn't matter if "leftists" have done it in the past or indeed if he himself has done it.
Chomsky is a cunt
Absolutely, but if he says 2+2=4 I'll still agree with him on that.
Why?
Why wouldn't I?
Why wouldn't you not have low standards?
A cunt can still be right on a given issue.

All it takes is to scare the wits out of him.

So of course you loved it.

No, it means he's afraid of being beaten with his own stick.
Being right would look like basically the opposite of his whole life.
Honestly, Noam is probably talking about the suppression of Communism, but he's right.
