Chomsky

The condemnation of Chomsky for his comments concerning the war in Ukraine is a perfect example of how censorship operates in the US. They seem to have missed him calling the Russian invasion a major war crime. There have been many instances of those who have not read his actual statements repudiating him and his work. Those who have done this have internalized the narrative established by the US, and cannot accept any criticism of that narrative. In the repudiation of Chomsky himself we can also witness the increased use of ad hominem arguments, which have become increasingly popular since Trump assumed office. This is ironic, of course, considering many of the people making these arguments identify as liberal. As to Chomsky’s credentials to speak on political matters, he has been deeply involved in analyzing and writing about politics for over 60 years.
