aka work on the payroll of the american government you despise so much and they dont give a shit.
Chomsky is evidence that far left opinions aren't edgy. He's been working for MIT for decades and his position has never been threatened.

You both disgust me.

She is a woman, somewhat attractive, who flirts with me nonstop. Last night she referred to us as ‘us’ and continually desires to respond to me and for me to respond to her. She wants to know my address, and if she’s been paying attention she knows my street and my number. ;3

But that’s all she knows

He represents the extreme edge of radical liberalism - in essence, he's the furthest left you can go while still being 'respectable' in modern bourgeois society. Hence his critiques of actual socialist countries and frequent support for US imperialism.

Because he's clear. Unlike continental philosophers who advocate for socialism. He's probably a great deal brighter than most of them, too.

Of course, his clarity means that he can't weasel his way out of objections to his ideology, and he has been justly criticized for a lot of the beliefs he holds. But at the very least he opens himself up to the falsifiable realm and has the courage to engage with critics
