Chomsky also quite explicitly supported russia after the full-scale Ukraine invasion started. So yeah, he's all kinds of asshole.
I doubt Chomsky "quite explicitly supported russia".
He may have simply offered a plain criticism of US imperialism and NATO expansion.
Russian aggression was simply inevitable as a consequence of the US and NATO refusing to do other than continuously escalate tension.
Is that the "critical support" so popular on .ml?
Ah, of course it can't be the aggressor's fault. Everyone else must be wrong.
Please enjoy beating the living daylights out of a straw man.
The crux of the matter is that insisting the conflict is Russia's fault accomplishes nothing except to protect the nationalist ideology of American exceptionalism, and therefore, to protect the state imperialist interests of the US and states aligned to the US.
Oh, I wouldn't dare lay hands on your favourite.
Though you might want to take your "US bad therefore russia good" campist shit back to the tankie instances, where it belongs.
Keep beating that straw man.
Keep glazing Chomsky
Keep trolling, troll.
