    Not a crossover I expected, goddamn. Bannon is literally what Chomsky spent his life-work denouncing. That’s immensely disappointing…

      I’m guessing they’re ideologically opposed…but united by a shared love of children that’s much more important to them.

    Gonna sound like 20-20 hindsight, but I never found Chomsky to be particularly insightful or interesting in the first place. Same with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Naomi Klein. They’re just “meh”. Yeah, they say some things I agree with…but that’s low hanging fruit. They’re always wrong and no more valuable to me than random people I know or meet.

      I think Chomsky has some very valid points and have learned a lot from him. However most of Chomsky’s criticism ironically applies to Chomsky himself. Chomsky tries to limit the left to voting Democrat over and over again instead of pursuing other means of achieving change.

      Naomi Klein is good, no idea why youre lumping Gladwell, another Epstein intellectual, in with her. She’s not a revolutionary, but she has good insights.

      I might have at one time lumped Chomsky and Klein together but these days he’s more of a Gladwell
