A right wing apologist meets his match

[Sherlock Holmes]

This is an old topic but the exchange is fascinating, it shows how the political elites try to abuse language and abuse reality but of course his trickery is no match for Chomsky's intellect:

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Noam Chomisky?

OMG you are a leftist loon

 

[BackAgain]

Noam Chomisky?

OMG you are a leftist loon

lol.

He imagines that Chumpsky is an “intellect.”

Trump supporters can't stand intellectuals who think deeply. They are simple minded therefore the most simplistic idea is what they will support. Stop immigration. let's build a wall, a simple and easy idea that meets the level of intellect of most MAGATTS. Not that we need to negotiate with South American nations, recognize the effects of climate change and the deforestation of the Amazon forrest on farming and the capacity to eat, as well as our corporate intervention in the governments of those countries who support despots who help them reap profits. Some areas of South America have become nearly uninhabitable, but if we build a wall it solves our problem. Simple minds fall for simple slogans.

I wish you were wrong but sadly you are 100% correct, these people really are amongst the stupidest on earth, electing someone like Trump a circus clown, could never happen in Europe, the people just don't quite meet the level of sheer stupidity that we see in some 50% of the US population.

You're preaching to the choir brother. I agree with everything you say. When that idiot called you leftist loon because you posted a video of Chomsky, that was evidence of everything you have said.

Thank you.

I was born and raised in Liverpool during the early 1960s. My two best friends when I was like eight or nine were black kids Mark and Greg who's families had emigrated from Barbados. I was quite aware of racism, not a victim of it myself but I was aware of it and knew of their experiences.

The area of Liverpool was called "Liverpool 8" and was racially very mixed, but further out of town were racist districts where blacks simply would never venture, full of skinhead racist types.

Sadly Greg died in a car accident in 2002 just after I'd moved to Philly, I'd planned to buy him a ticket to visit he would have loved Philly but he died and we were very close, our politics was pretty much identical sometimes he'd impress me with some insight I wasn't aware of but we never argued, I recall that vividly a friend with whom I never argued, a rare thing.

Greg and I both understood that most racists are in fact utterly stupid people, not even interested in what's true or false they just embrace the "lifestyle" the idiotically simplistic "goodie vs baddies" worldview as you said.

This is Liverpool 8, my home town so to speak (the full movie is out there somewhere but I've not seen it).

Anti-intellectualism

Perfect description of the orange rapist

Anti-intellectualism is hostility to and mistrust of intellect, intellectuals, and intellectualism, commonly expressed as deprecation of education and philosophy and the dismissal of art, literature, history, and science as impractical, politically motivated, and even contemptible human pursuits.[1]

Anti-intellectuals may present themselves and be perceived as champions of common folk—populists against political and academic elitism—and tend to see educated people as a status class that dominates political discourse and higher education while being detached from the concerns of ordinary people.[1]

Chomsky is an apologist for murderous dictators.

Whenever someone says things like [my guy] buried the opposition, you virtually know it's bogus. I've seen too much of this not to waste my time. If you want to quote an exchange, then I will be glad to critique it.

 

[berg80]

lol.

He imagines that Chumpsky is an “intellect.”

You imagine you're in any position to judge.

 

[BackAgain]

You imagine you're in any position to judge.

You imagine you are. Difference is, you’re wrong.

What else is new?

Commie lite is still a commie and there is no intellectualism down that path.

Chomsky is a brilliant moron.

There is not one thing chomsky is right about
