Chomsky is an important contributor to Linguistics, but he also is part of the reason we have pseudointellectuals who use the power of the mob and get pissy and try to censor everything when they lose debates.
Chomsky called Foucault the most amoral man he ever met. He is unable to understand post-modernism, like Felix Frankfurter was unable to believe the Holocaust. His life has been spent orchestrating the consent for this evil power structure. It's hard to admit to yourself that you are the villain of the story.
I'm not sure I would call him a "pseudointellectual", but he's definitely a pseudo-dissident. Real dissidents don't even get to have bank accounts, let alone tenure at MIT.
Compare how Chomsky is treated to how someone like Kevin MacDonald (author of Culture of Critique) is.
Chomsky's not a pseudointellectual at all. His politics simply encourage pseudointellectuals. Must come from the left who think they've acquired the knowledge of the universe because they heard someone who read something he wrote. There are some morons at thedonald who were thinking they're smarter than Chomsky because some lefty said something and referenced Chomsky. Those are also pseudointellectuals.
It happens on both sides. Some pseudointellectuals will appear and believe they are smart because they know a fraction of something they heard from someone they believe is extremely intelligent.
So many of them have no clue about anything, but they're circlejerking each other. So yeah, both sides.
I genuinely cannot imagine the arrogance in thinking they can cancel J. K. Rowling, whose primary work basically owns the mindset of an entire generation of girls. The demographic which primarily makes up both SJWs and cancel culture itself.

I'm going to keep this one.

There was this weird circlejerk soon after I created an account: https://thedonald.win/p/GIO3gAFC/musk-just-said-chomsky-sucks-lma/

OK I would agree with this. Howard Zinn would probably also be a similar personality in this regard.
Oh, so exactly like Colin Kaepernick?
The more the leftists keep eating each other the more redpills are dished out. Keep going, fools.

Forcing the left to adhere to their own standards is one of the best ways to fight the culture war.
Fight fight
Oh so once again, they're wrong because they're white, not because of their argument.
"academics" ... "journalists" We're gettin' really free with throwing titles to people.
