the basis for chomsky's anarchism is that age of consent laws are an unjust hierarchy that places adults above children (hexbear.net)

Nobody stays the same over 100 years. Chomsky’s been getting noticeably more inconsistent in his actions and statements since like… the year 2000, which is when basically all these criticisms are from.

Not really, people have been calling him out since the early 90s for hanging out with the head of the CIA and being a warhawk shitlib

    Well, yes really, almost all the shared criticisms are of post-2000 events.

    And I agree that stuff is bad. I'm not saying he is completely defensible pre-2000, but he was much more politically consistent then than now.

    I mean even before the 90s I could mention how most of his sociological output is just re framing already existing sociology in a manner that defangs its revolutionary potential - hes been ribbing on Steven Lukes and shit his entire career.
