Noam Chomsky: 'The Republican Party Has Become the Most Dangerous Organization in World History'

[IsaacNewton]

The rest of the human population is going to have to eject conservatives in America as just too stupid to deal with. If the US tries to withdraw from the Paris agreement then the rest of the world will start shifting to and looking for leadership from Russia and China. This is many countries has already started. Russia wants to be a major player in the world again and this will push many countries right to them.

"Leadership" at what, swirling down the green energy toilet bowl? Did you know that China is building one coal fired power plant a week? Is that the kind of "leadership" you were referring to?

Are we looking at the same facts?

In 2013 the US emitted 5.8 billion tons of CO2. This is 15% of the world's 39.8 billion tons of CO2 emissions. Based on the last 12 years, the US has been decreasing their CO2 emissions by 0.03 billion tons per year. At this rate, by the year 2030, the US's CO2 emissions will fall to 5.2 billion tons of CO2 per year. In 2013 China emitted 11 billion tons of CO2. This is 41.5% of the world's 39.8 billion tons of CO2 emissions. Based on the last 12 years, the ROW is increasing their CO2 emissions by 0.5 billion tons per year. At this rate, by the year 2030, the ROW CO2 emissions will be 21.2 billion tons of CO2 per year.

Noam Chomsky: 'The Republican Party Has Become the Most Dangerous Organization in World History'


The outright ignorance of 60 million people will jeopardize the other 7 billion humans on Earth, in too many ways to count.

Yeah, we've heard it all before.

FUck off Noam. Go get a real first name.

Chomsky's theories are being refuted and his work is being shown to be like most of his pronouncements - without value.

Evidence Rebuts Chomsky's Theory of Language Learning

That would be known as an opinion. Intellectuals are not very popular with the right.

Your opinion is duly noted. However the fact is that Chomsky's theories are being refuted based on scientific research:

"The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental template for learning grammar — famously espoused by Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — has dominated linguistics for almost half a century. Recently, though, cognitive scientists and linguists have abandoned Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory in droves because of new research examining many different languages — and the way young children learn to understand and speak the tongues of their communities. That work fails to support Chomsky’s assertions."

Evidence Rebuts Chomsky's Theory of Language Learning

What’s universal grammar? Evidence rebuts Chomsky’s theory of language learning

"But evidence has overtaken Chomsky’s theory, which has been inching toward a slow death for years. It is dying so slowly because, as physicist Max Planck once noted, older scholars tend to hang on to the old ways: “Science progresses one funeral at a time.”"

Chomsky is not the intellectual hero you make him out to be.

.

Spot on, Decus.

And....may I add these facts about the disgusting America-hating low-life, Chomsky:


1. A self-described admirer of the Black Panthers, who says that intellectuals must combat ‘all forms of racism,’ and complains that America excluded blacks from large parts of the country, owns a home in a town with a black population of 1.1% Bill Frezza, “A Lion in Winter,” The Tech (MIT student newspaper), February 20, 2004

2. In response to U.S. declarations of a War on Terrorism in 1981 and the redeclaration in 2001, Chomsky has argued that the major sources of international terrorism are the world's major powers, led by the United States. Politics of Noam Chomsky


3. Chomsky praised the North Vietnamese for their efforts in building material prosperity, social justice, and cultural progress. He also went on to discuss and support the political writing of Le Duan. [-Pacific Daily Report of the U.S. government's Foreign Broadcast Information Service, April 16, 1970, pages K2-K3]


4. Chomsky was one of the chief deniers of the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, which took place in the wake of the Communist victory and American withdrawal from Indochina. He directed vitriolic attacks towards the reporters and witnesses who testified to the human catastrophe that was taking place there. Initially, Chomsky tried to minimize the deaths (a “few thousand”) and compared those killed by Pol Pot and his followers to the collaborators who had been executed by resistance movements in Europe at the end of World War II. By 1980, however, it was no longer possible to deny that some 2 million of Cambodia's 7.8 million people had perished at the hands of the Communists. But Professor Chomsky continued to deny the genocide, proposing that the underlying problem may have been a failure of the rice crop. As late as 1988, Chomsky returned to the subject and insisted that whatever had happened in Cambodia, the U.S. was to blame.

a. This conclusion is the principal theme of what may be loosely termed Chomsky's intellectual oeuvre: Whatever evil exists in the world, the United States is to blame. His intellectual obsession is America and its “grand strategy of world domination.” In 1967 Professor Chomsky wrote that America “needed a kind of denazification.” The Third Reich has provided him with his central metaphor for his own country ever since.

b. The Soviet dictatorship was not only "morally equivalent" to democratic America, in Chomsky’s view, but actually better because it was less powerful. The chief sin of Stalinism in his eyes was not the murder of millions, but the fact that he had given socialism a bad name. Noam Chomsky - Discover the Networks
