The main claims of contention with Chomsky seem to be his support for Biden and his views on "AES". I think we all acknowledged that the endorsement doesn't matter, and he probably had the best possible argumentation to go for it (even if a Biden presidency only saves 1 ton of carbon emissions, it's better for the planet). He certainly came of as more convincing to me in the Bad faith interview than Brie and Virgil who didn't seem to offer a real alternative for the moment.
I also don't think it should be surprising that an anarchist view - or any non-Leninist view for that matter - of "actually existing socialism" [citations needed] might not be the best.
Oh and also there's his free speech absolutism, which is really cringe, I give you that. But I don't think that justifies the hate he receives on here, I think it's a mixture of him endorsing Biden and a general need on here to shit on anarchists.
