Is this not Chomsky just taking the piss these days, though? People seem to think he's utterly lacking in humour, but I get the impression that a lot of what he says is him deliberately trying to rile people up by making them think he's some insufferable liberal, and hopefully draw enough attention to the topic that people say to themselves "well, parts of this situation are actually comically fucked in many ways".

It's not a great way to speak as he does now, but he's an old man and probably doesn't really care about rigorous accuracy in how he conveys his messages anymore.

I remember him saying something to the effect that it is never useful to speak proudly and positively of a nation/culture/organisation when you are in some sort of outsider or minority position. So if he were visiting Palestinians, he would talk about their shortcomings in failing to compromise at various key stages in the past with the Israelis, and when visiting Israel, he would do the usual anti-settler song and dance.

The belief that conservative Christianity is anti-intellectual is itself an anti-intellectual idea. It's an attempt to dismiss the entirety of Western thought other than your own relatively recent movement.

In other words, you're too lazy to actually research what your ideological opponents actually believe, so you just dismiss them as not being worth reading.

[Anonymous No.9432566]

He's right though. Theres obviously more evil and disgusting groups through history but none of them(Mongols,various caliphates,nazis) were actually close to literally ending the human race. The Republicans on the other hand are totally complacent about climate change which really could end life as we know it. Its not just they they don't care, they continually perform actions that are making the situation worse.

[Anonymous No.9432568]

>he fell for the climate change meme
The climate IS changing, but it's completely natural. The earth goes through a cycle of hot and cold. We'll adapt.

That said, I'm not sure why republicans are blamed for climate change. Let's assume that human affected climate change is real. Do you think that, just because the republicans suddenly accept climate change, we'll magically make things better? Do you think that India, China and other shitholes will suddenly stop destroying the environment (and their own lungs)?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for wildlife preservation, and a cleaner earth. The thought of wildlife being destroyed and certain animals going extinct makes me shed some tears. But that doesn't mean that i'm willing to accept a dumb theory that has been disproven multiple times. We have a higher chance of going extinct due to a rogue asteroid than climate change.

>it's completely natural.
Yeah what a coincidence that a massive change in the climate started right after the industrial revolution and the massive pollution of the air that came as a result.

Both India and China are actually making an effort to mitigate climate change, while the party in control of the US doesn't believe that it is even real. Point me to other major countries where the dominant political party denies scientific facts. This is what happens when you have a party that is completely in the hands of corporations whose only motive is profit at the expense of humanity. Chomsky is absolutely correct and nobody, regardless of their ideology, should be supporting the republican party's actions which are putting the entirety of humanity at risk.

it has more to do the fact that those areas experienced heavy colonization from New Englanders. the West Coast is fairly culturally aligned with New England. in contrast the scots-irish culture prevalent in much of the south is deeply anti-intellectual and actively handicaps people. Of course there is the black belt in the South bringing the average in blue areas down, but blacks are genetically less intelligent so you can't fault them too much.

This is accurate but not in the way that you think it is. Republicans spend more on R&D but this is only true because they spend massive amounts of money on defense, which is included in that figure. Republicans do not listen to the science on climate change because it tells them that their shitty economic policies are destroying the planet.
