@@Joelmonterrey Chomsky is at best adjacent to Glenn Greenwald but no more than that, which is one of Noams *only* failures as a media critic and public intellectual. And to be frank, he's factually correct about America and its genocidal imperialism and the disinformation used to support that imperialism which has been platformed by the MSM since before we were born and continues to this day. I know this because I'm a media criticism-focused academic journalist and I started down this road because I was raised on Rush Limbaugh. If your only argument against Chomsky is Russia Bad you're fundamentally arguing that our imperialsm isn't as bad and thats...that's not the vibe my man. Read the room, few folks under 35 that are on the left are into your whole "we say we're liberal but really we're neoliberal democrats who uphold the status quo and ensure progressive values are tantamount to communism" mccarthyism nonsense anymore, that way of life is dying the death it deserves before our eyes. Just think! If the ICC finally has any guts they will use the Afghanistan Papers as evidence to haul Obama and Biden in for the many war crimes they committed...and if your answer to those factual realities is that I'm a far left extremist, I hate to break it to you my friend but on a global political spectrum you're a conservative, and an imperialist warmonger.

Bush said before quickly correcting himself, saying he meant to describe Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. He then openly admitted with his iconic chuckle, “Iraq, too, anyway,”

Noam Chomsky is a voice that should be heard, whether you agree with him 100% of the time or not, he is truly brilliant. I remember that he was one of the few people that I can recall that was absolutely correct about how the withdrawal from Afghanistan would play out. I listened to an interview he did before the exit was even fully underway, where he was confident that Afghanistan’s military/government would fall to the Taliban pretty quickly. He was absolutely right. He is often right. The only other two people who were on the record saying that this was going to inevitably occur were Beau of the Fifth Column and Malcom Nance.
