Chomsky is frustrating as all fuck

He can see how the government brutalizes other countries through it's foreign policy but fails to recognize the damage caused by welfare, social services, etc, anything domestic.

Not to mention he's a "left-libertarian" AKA blathering fucktard

>ch 13
"NATURE hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he; for as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself; and as to the faculties of the mind, setting aside the arts grounded upon words, and especially that skill of proceeding upon general and infallible rules, called science, which very few have and but in few things, as being not a native faculty born with us, nor attained, as prudence, while we look after somewhat else, I find yet a greater equality amongst men than that of strength: For prudence is but experience, which equal time equally bestows on all men in those things they equally apply themselves unto."

Is there any reason these fuckers had to be as dry as possible?

Is there an abridged, abridged version of 'Capital' on the market? I just cannot get through this shit, it's not hard to understand he just writes in a way that IS SO FUCKING BOOOOOORRRRRINNNNG.

Good. Item seven. The had had and that that problem. [...] 'Okay,' said the Bellman, whose head was in danger of falling apart like a chocolate orange, 'let me get this straight: David Copperfield, unlike Pilgrim's Progress, which had had had, had had had had. Had had had had TGC's approval?'

There was a very long pause.

'Right,' said the Bellman with a sigh.

>Everything is permitted, and nothing is true nor false; we're just fucking around.

I would like to vaguely quote Jacques Lacan by saying that if God is dead, nothing is permitted. My point being that even though your hasty generalisation seems "correct" according to academia (and his doxa), you're ultimately wrong insofar as post-modernity is still inhabited by the shadow of God /qua/ ideology.

Looks like our good friend Достоевский was wrong.

Brittany slapped the coin from his outstretched hand, sending it flying into the shrubbery. “We don’t want your blood money!”
Lincoln sighed, his eyes narrowing, then he suddenly reached out and grabbed Brittany by her bodice string that, unbeknownst to her, had become untied and hung loosely from her dress. The lace tightened immediately as he pulled her towards him like a dog on a tether. Brittany winced with surprise and embarrassment, her green eyes ablaze.
He leaned close to her, breathing softly in her ear, making Brittany almost lose her balance and certainly some sense. He paused just long enough to catch her off guard in anticipation, when he said, “You might want to keep the girls tied up,” and he tightened the lace and tied a knot.
Her face flushed and she slapped him hard on the cheek. Lincoln grabbed her by her dark brown hair and planted a kiss on her lips, long and sensual. When he released his grip, she was reeling, wild eyed as a scurvy dog.
“Take them away!” he ordered with a wave of his hand.
The buccaneer escorts grabbed the women’s wrists and roughly pulled them towards the path. Brittany turned her head and caught the captain’s eye.
“Now I know why they call you Sea Wolf. I think you are despicable!” she yelled at the top of her lungs. She quickly looked to Ellie, a look of terror in her eyes as they were dragged down the pathway.
Lincoln smiled, as he heard his crew laughing from afar; this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. If circumstances were different, he would have asked her to join him. But he hadn’t even found out her name…
