I’ll be pretty sad when the big man goes. He turned me from socdem into actual leftist

    I still like Chomsky tbh. He's got shit opinions, but he's consistently the only guy who is easy to pick up for all manner of people because he knows how to simplify concepts and his writing is clear. People say it's dry but I feel like that's a shitlib argument because they can't pretend to be bigheaded while reading him.

    It's also a con with him because he shits on some of the writers I like to read.

    Honestly, take what's good from these individuals and leave the shitty stuff. I would never wholesale just cast them off.

      He speaks American. We speak Marxist. We can take quite a few lessons from him.

      I'll always admire him for his contribution to computer science.

        Seriously on the computer science. Without him computers as we know him wouldn't be the same. I wish I understood his contributions more.
