Just wanted to go back to the Chomsky discussion from yesterday. I listened to the interview again and then saw this thread from Owen Jones (who conducted the interview).
Like Jones, I'm having a hard time reconcilling what Twitter think Chomsky said with what he actually said. Some serious biases going on with this. Its like the internet is incapable of reading complex discussions and understanding that discssing hypthetical scenarios does not mean you think those hypothetical scenarios are true or desirable.
Just to repeat, I'm no particular fan of his, just somebody who gets triggered by people misquoting other people to support their own preconceptions.
