      It is, but someone yelling fed over and over as a probable joke isnt a reason to start scolding people for "buying into" this reporting as some sort of attack on leftists.

        No I think it is. I've seen this shit play out too many times. In six months people are going to call manufacturing consent a psyop because all they know about what happened is "chomsky fed"

          So whats the response here that is "not buying into" the WSJ reporting on financial connections between Chomsky and Epstein that Chomsky has attempted to conceal?

          I think its more than a little weird to be more annoyed that someone would call Chomsky a fed over this rather than someone accusing people of "buying into" Chomsky having personal and financial connections to literally Jeffrey Epstein.

            It's not "fed fed fed fed . . ."

            Personally, I think all of this is an interesting window into how Epstein operated, built a vast network, ingratiated himself to people, and made sure to do favors and have dirt. But that's about all I can really say from what's there so far.

              I think that's taking it very easy on Chomsky, since this isn't the first thing to have been revealed about him and Epstein, and at every step of the way he's deflected, downplayed and denied further connections.

              He should be very aware of how having any connection to Epstein looks in his position, and if it really is incidental stuff that comes with being in those circles, then detailing it is really the only way to clear himself. And people clearly have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

          Why would a book that is used to steer people away from opposition to US hegemony be likely to be consodered a psyop?

      :hahaha:

      whilst gnomes seminal work is useful in deciphering US propaganda, he is on a similar level to adam curtis in regards to what is acceptable within the overton window

      he's probably not a fed, but this type of behaviour shows that he has more in common with the upper levels of society than the downtrodden
