i help with regional scholarship interviews for my old program at gatech.edu every spring. last year one of our finalists, who i think won one, was gargling ol’ musky’s dong pretty hard during the interview, to the point where i was expecting him to clark kent his shirt to reveal a tesla tattoo across his chest towards the end.

to be fair, this was shortly after the double falcon landing so a lot of people were on the spacex bandwagon. still, i found myself biting my tongue at several points during the interview and had to remind myself that i had a bunch of uninformed opinions when i was a high school senior too.

it’s just incredibly wrong

piketty is a data-centered economic theorist, chomsky is a linguist with opinions about politics

i recognize iago as the bad guy in othello, a play i've never read, and i know chomsky's a philosopher who has a connection to languages (thanks to project nim) but beyond that :shrug: ain't no humanities in my stem

well known chapo take posted:

"As for Antifa, it's a minuscule fringe of the Left, just as its predecessors were," the linguist and political philosopher told the Washington Examiner. "It's a major gift to the right, including the militant right, who are exuberant."

"What they do is often wrong in principle – like blocking talks – and [the movement] is generally self-destructive,” the 88-year-old told the conservative paper.

unless you mean that iago is chapo trap house in which case you may be right but the literary parallel is pretty complex.

actually the parrot in aladdin is chapo. that is a nice clean take.

well, one is entertainment offering only a few sketches of political positions, the other is an academia-poisoned philosopher offering lengthy political screeds. they may mostly agree on broad positions but real comparison is futile.

chomsky offers a lot more meticulous political content, but he has been almost entirely ineffectual and his stance against deplatforming is, think, a pretty good indication of why.

So it's a difference of tone?

E: I'm not trying to minimize what you're getting at, but if the difference between two equally ineffective voices airballing equally ineffective critiques of american hegemony whose adherents are aware of that fact and flaunt their fandom as a proxy for all the effort and investment of real activism is tone then yeah I'm going to reassert the comparison.
