Noam Chomsky was a Terrible Dude (and a College-Educated Conspiracy Theorist)
If Woodrow Wilson was as bad as left-wing academics actually think he was, he'd be Noam Chomsky.
I left the Left around March 2023 after an feud with someone on a forum. For a while, while I knew I figured out that something was off with the Left, something that had a cult-like atmosphere around it, I still hadn’t pinpointed what was it that was actually off about them, until I figured out the political influencer behind all of it all: Noam Chomsky. He’s a commonly cited intellectual by prominent online social democrat figures like Kyle Kulinski. A lot of BreadTube is basically regurgitating Chomskyisms from the 1950s and 1960s.
It makes a lot of sense if you hate Trump and the right to fall into the arms of their loudest opponents, and if you grew up on the internet, that was the left-wing Youtube ecosystem of Kyle Kulinski, David Pakman, and Sam Seder. It doesn’t help things that major platforms like Youtube and Google cannot distinguish the lies and truths of the left, only that they’re anti-Trump. The fact that these dangeorus intellectuals are popular and still has a growing audience is a concern that is better left for another topic.
Looking more into Chomsky, you began to see a common issue with his beliefs: his opposition to the West. For instance, if Chomsky had been around:
1860: He’d be pro-Confederate
1914: Pro-Central Powers
1939: Pro-Hitler, Pro-Imperial Japan, Pro-Stalin
1969: Pro-Viet Cong
1991: Pro-Serb
2001: Pro-Al Qaeda
2022: Pro-Putin Russia
2023: Pro-Hamas
I don't know why would anyone like this heinous asshole.
The fact that young people support Chomsky in droves is the equivalent of being seduced by Charles Manson. And for an almost 40 year old like Kulinski, he should be ashamed of believing in the “big Marxist lie” that he likely learnt at a public university when he was 20.
Chomsky is in reality the left-wing version of Rush Limbaugh. Alongside Rush, Chomsky basically influenced and shaped a whole new dangerous political movement for decades to come.
If Chomsky and his fans can't distinguish between Western and Soviet/Third World imperialism, they’re just as monstrous and existential of a threat to world democreacy, rising global wealth, and world peace as Trump supporters.
Just because you’re anti-Trump doesn’t mean that you can’t commit atrocities in the name of “anti-Trumpism” either.

P.S. I petition to just refer to modern progressivism pioneered by Chomsky and Howard Zinn “Chomskyism”, as a play on words to “Leninism”, “Stalinism”, and “Maoism”.
