Zizek calls himself a leftist and of course then says a bunch of horrific liberal bullshit. What a joke of a man.

      The thing that is most telling about Chomsky is that while his criticisms of US foreign policy in particular are spot on, he never actually advocates for any alternative except some vague notion of "anarchism", which I don't think he has ever explained how it would come to fruition. All the while being fervently anti-communist.

      Parenti was right about that clown parenti

        And note that when he peeked out of his controlled opposition even for a two seconds with not even very hot takes, liberals immediatelly cancelled him.

        His entire 70 year career as a good acceptable adult responsible palatable leftist still ended with him lumped together with tankies by libs.

      imo Noam Chomsky doesn't really fit into it anymore bcs ever since he said that Ukraine is a proxy war and that it would be better to actually have a peaceful resolution to the conflict the libs have completely despised him
