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.

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.
