Dave Nathanson on Nostr: I always thought it was weird how people worshiped Chomsky for his political thought ...

I always thought it was weird how people worshiped Chomsky for his political thought when his field was linguistics.

And I always felt like the thrust of his analysis was of the "what did you expect of the US?" variety. I resented that because it de-activates people.

So I felt like people who wanted to talk at me about Chomsky were more interested in words than actions.

Didn't know he was a creep, though.
