  • You don't get credit if you're talking borderline bollocks just because your early work was good. If he's still being interviewed in the way he was by Owen Jones, his words today have to stand up on their own.

    Have you watched/listened to the interview? Are you basing your opinion that he is talking borderline bollocks on tweets and the only news article written about the interview in English...or are you basing it on what he said?

    I'm not even arguing that he is right in what he says...its just that it gets under my skin when people read a false summary of something and take that as gospel.

  • Thank you for that link.

  • Thanks, probably wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.

  • Pretty good retort to the Chomsky comments

    Thanks, will read

    Edit: Just read it. Its a great retort.

    Its interesting that they do not address the issues that I taking exception to a few pages back...mainly because Chomsky didn't say the things that people claimed he did. I.e the stuff about "The people of Ukraine not wanting more heavy weapons".

    In short, those guys seem to have understood the nuance and context of his comments and that they were an answer to a hypothetical thought experiment question rather than expression of fact. In other words, they took the time to watch the interviews and took exception to the stuff he did say rather than the stuff he didn't.
