Dunno the source. I got it from :azan:'s stream.
It's also true that there are hideous human rights abuses in Cuba, some of the worst in the hemisphere
...
--in the Gitmo horror chamber.
He had me in the first half, not gonna lie
All his other bad takes were just setup for him to pull the rug out from under us on this one. Playing with our expectations.
There are people who argue that Cuba is doing everything in Gitmo and they are incredibly frustratingly stupid
It's an email, Chomsky is well-known for responding to public correspondence to his MIT email address about pretty much anything
Fuck it I refuse to cancel or hate this man. You fuckers can’t make me. Those fucks comparing him to Tucker Carlson can suck my manufactured consent
Parenti would agree tbh. He thanks Chomsky in the acknowledgements section of Inventing Reality and even when he dunks on him in Blackshirts and Reds he calls him "some of the best and brightest on the left"
Yupppp it says a lot when the I tellevtuals of the left don’t really give into the factionalism. But what TF do I know I’m just a weirdo big tent guy.
Noooo! You have to choose!
People must be ideal, they can't merely be good.
Whaaat your saying that we can condemn and critique the failures of past socialist leaders and thinkers. This allowing learn from their actions going forward to be better instead of just meming or justifying shit decisions? That’s crazy!
I'm not a Chomsky fan in general, but that is unironically one of the cooler and more communist things a person can do. Just treating people like people.
Edit: it's also a nice throwback to how philosophy used to be / should be. open exchange of ideas.
Chomsky making it to 100 because people email 'be sure to drink some water'
From his recent looks I suspect he's become an Ent; as protectors of the forest, they're close to immortal I think. Just don't let him stand on fertile ground for too long.
pretty based chomsky here ngl
oh yah there's bad stuff in cuba for sure....over at guitmo
Also
"Yeah there's a lot to criticize about Cuba, they've even platformed my criticisms."
That's a great answer, it would be a shame if he doesn't get to use it on some dipshit reporter whilst on air
It's also true that there are hideous human rights abuses in Cuba, some of the worst in the hemisphere -- in the Gitmo horror chamber
DABS
Chompsky is cool and Cuomo is likely guilty of sexual harassment?
I want an :amerikkka: style sticker for Cuomo. We have other bad ones like :hillary-apartment: and :die-motherfucker: and :maybe-later-kiddo:
His heart is in the right place, even if his strategy has been underwhelming.
Still, I'd take one Congressman Chomsky over a dozen Ilhan Omar's at this point.
Chomsky has always had a laser clear perception of American foreign policy
It is also true that there are hideous human rights abuses in Cuba, some of the worst in the hemisphere...
Oh Chomsky you fuc...
in the Gitmo horror chamber
You had me in the first half, ngl.
We need to get a picture of the Noam Chomsky Day poster from Captain Fantastic

Edit 2 Found it, :uncle-noam: when
what if Chompsky was like "vote biden" cause he knew in the end it didn't matter anyway?
If I remember correctly from the Bad Faith interview, his take was basically you can’t achieve anything that needs to be achieved through electoralism and the US under Biden is less hostile to activism than under Trump.
Kinda got stuck on voting just taking 10 minutes though.
Yea everyone involved was definitely caught in a loop. I still found it entertaining though.
Lmao they did the thing libs do where they only bring chomsky on when he'll take a stance moderate dems like but instead it's to grill him on said stances
His daughter also wrote 2 books on Cuba that get updated sometimes. Pretty decent histories on the island. Not much about Che or Fidel though.
I just emailed him about best sources on Cuba and he said the one that his daughter wrote lol
Here is Piero Gleijeses (Fantastic Voice ) on the essential Battle of Cuito Cuanavale
