He had essentially built modern linguistics by the time he was 40. Some of his earlier theories have been largely discredited, but he's still very influential. His political insight has earned him a lot of praise, especially abroad and in some dissident circles in the USA.

His work in linguistics is fucking amazing.

hes not get off youtube

Because he's Jewish

because he's a Jew

Heres looking at you yid

He is fluent in every language ever spoken.

The linguistics thing. Also Chomsky recognizes that his ideas about society are never going to happen. He simply states how things "should be".

It's really hard to find even semi-coherent leftists.. But he got famous for basically founding modern linguistics.

Low-key I go to school with one of his granddaughters, really want to fuck her just for the sake of fucking a Chomsky but she presents as very butch so that's probably not gonna happen.

Jewish Privilege

Chomsky is a fucking moron whose only contribution to society is his ACCIDENTAL impact on computer science, which he actually had nothing to do with. Besides that he's a piece of shit.

Language. Got it. So why is he qualified to talk on the subject of politics and economics?

STUDENT: Mr. Chomsky, what are your thoughts on the fall of The Roman Empire?
NOAM: America did it.
STUDENT: Wha-
NOAM: America did it!!!!
(just kidding, Noam doesn't actually raise his voice)

PS - I hope he dies soon. Really do.

...

Rape her then behead her obviously...... Oh! And, poop swastika.

it's not just language. He's established himself as a polymath, and has been playing the role of the public intellectual for fucking decades now.

And rightfully so. Whether u like (((him))) or not, the man is brilliant, and actually has more in common with pol than they'd like to admit, i.e., hating capitalism and it's tendency to dehumanize.

If Noam weren't a jew he'd basically be Richard Spencer

Because he knows a lot about it and his work is heavily cited in academia.

(((intellectuals)))

Its like asking why are so many university professors marxist kikes. Thats who likes chomsky.

You gotta go back

He's qualified via his arguments, ability to write, make convincing points, etc. Even if I don't agree with the guy entirely I recognize he's bright and correct on a lot of things. Read Manufacturing Consent sometime if you get the chance, it's not even a particularly ideologically sided book and is amazing and puts forth some great facts and thoughts.

Go buy a new plasma screen u retard

Have any of you faggots read anything by him on propaganda models?

He is the most red pilled motherfucker out there. Linguistics is an exercise routine for him.

>It's really hard to find even semi-coherent leftists..

This is really a big part of it. Chomsky is what's left of a dying generation of liberal thinkers (John Rawls) who actually had some principles and were at least willing to hear out other philosophies rather than sanctimoniously strutting around using ostracism and mob tactics to silence people.

you must not be a linguist

Chomsky is a brilliant man, though I disagree with him vehemently. He is a syndicalist and a global federalist. These ideas creep me out.

Because liberals love kikes and trust them implicitly, since most kikes just parrot what liberal retards want to hear and then fuck them over in the end anyway.

I'd recommend all of you watch a documentary.

"Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and de Media"

Now he's old and not making much sense. But this is an extremely smart man. Wrote over 129 books and arround 13.000 articles for MIT.

I'm a complete jew hater, i swear to god, but this guy was seriously smart.

For example, he defended a french academic who wrote a book about the holocaust being a hoax -he didn't belive it personally, but he defended the man's right to publish-.

Please take a look at the documentary.

Well he's possibly the most famous and one of the most influential linguists of all time. Hard to really argue with that.

Globalism works though. I'm not saying I like it either, but it's what lets you live the happy peaceful, luxury filled life you do. Without it, most people would still be at war with their neighbors and piss poor.
What's scary about globalism is who has the control.

Also this, he transformed lingüistics forever.

>Mumble, mumble, barely coherent sentence.
>- N. Chomsky
He's great for intellectuals because they can just use him as a bluff.
He hasn't said anything relevant or profound in years.
He's just a name that you drop when you want to sound super duper smart.
And then all of your socialist friends golf clap.

He's a commie jew fuck

>insults capitalists by attacking how affordable their luxuries are
jesus you commies are getting worse by the day

>Globalism
>Lets you live the happy peaceful, luxury filled life you do

Calling bullshit. Everyone is fucking miserable, and everyone knows it.

He is controlled opposition

hmmm

No, he didn't.
He introduced a retarded theory that doesn't match reality.
Universal grammar or some nonsense.
If his theory was correct all human languages would be self-similar.
But they aren't.
Reality itself refutes Chomsky's retarded theory.

Why are you?

t. linguist

I don't like most of what he says but I really respect his ability to not waiver under the prevailing winds of what flavor of the week meme liberals all believe.
He's like a miles better version of that windbag Slavoj Zizek

t. underachieving virgin nobody

You probably thoroughly anticipate the Avengers movies, don't you?

I like how retards on pol criticize the global elements of capitalism - including its attempt to create every world culture into an amorphous, aracial consumer - but are so fucking stupid they defend (((muh luxuries)))

You're a fucking idiot. Capitalist comforts are what attempt to fill the void that culture left after it was decided to be too dangerous to the global market.

But keep buying away, goy. Let it numb the pain that your culture is being destroyed every single day by (((them))).

fucking dolt.

Chomsky is the only leftist I respect.
And his book manufacturing consent is a massive red pill on how the jew run united states of schlomerica fucks everything up.

Actually he based that statement on the fact that if you raise a chinese kid in london, he'll speak London english with no accent whatsoever so actually you don't have a genetic predisposition to speak in any specific way which leads to the logical conclusion that laguages are not that diffenet.

when you speak a couple of languages you start to realize that it's actually ture.

Because leftist are propagandist in the intelectual community and he has been a great one simply because the ammount of books published he is like the leftist alex jones , but with a foothold in universities.
For example he beleieves that the us got into iraq for the oil , but in the first place the us never imported oil from iraq but from venezuela and canada.
And the list goes and goes non stop , fucking chomsky supported chavism for example , he literally deserves to be shot.

He's a leftist. Academia is leftist. He said what they wanted to hear in ways they didn't have the ability to articulate themselves.

Do you know the name of intellectuals that called the Khmer Rouge out for what it was at the time? No, you don't. Because intellectuals thrive on peer approval, not accuracy. You know of the intellectuals they want you to know about. It's smoke and mirrors. They have no skin in the game. There's no legitimacy to what they do.

Go back faggot

Provides red pills about the US government's overseas actions.

I think most people grow up thinking any of the deaths caused by the West are just 'unfortunate accidents' and since we had good intentions it's morally excusable. Basically the Sam Harris view of foreign intervention.

He also red pills on Israel.

You're definetly retarded

My wife is a professor of linguistics. She is conservative and appreciates Chomsky. Fuck off with your meme knowledge

>Some of his earlier theories have been largely discredited
>some
His theories are shit, and he single-handedly threw back linguistics by about a century.
Why are leftist theories always toxic crap even when they aren't about politics?
I guess because to them, everything is. Chomsky's big idea was that there is only One Language, because obviously there are no innate difference between humans. We all know how that idea worked out.

Chomsky said that the events of 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination were "insignificant" and that people shouldn't be questioning the narrative.

Does she appreciate linguist Chomsky, or 'public intellectual' Chomsky? If it is the latter your wife can suck a pus covered nigger dick.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwcccccccckkkkk Noam Chomsky.

Precisely THIS!

Noam Chomsky is The Anti-Patriot
A Commie Snake. And a product of too much intellectual masturbation.
Put em in the woods. See if he can make a fire, the useless old fuck.

Are you a linguist? My wife is and appreciates Chomsky

>He also red pills on Israel

This. The ONLY jew i could ever read or watch talks from.

>The Iraq war was a righteous holy wa-

This Norm guy sounds like a real jerk!

Go buy the Avengers on blu ray for that dopamine hit you fucking junkie

Check out Norman Finkelstein. Hell, there are a lot of Jews who are anti-Israel and anti-Zionism.

>not smart enough for university
>thinks intellectuals are dumb

Enjoy the computer you are usung and the 40 years of extra life ypu get to have thanks to "intellectuals".

Dumbshit.

No, any retard can make that observation, his claims were much stronger than that, and also mostly wrong.

chomsky is based. his ability to articulate is unparalleled, whether or not I agree with his politics

I bet there are plenty of words he knows in some languages but doesnt know in others.
You sound like a fanboy faggot

>Noam "Pol Pol did nothing wrong" Chomsky
kek

KEK

K E K

Says someone living in a statist country were a high wage is barely enough to buy toilet paper.

him and Zizek are probably the only leftists I respect

Perhaps she is. And perhaps her opinion is actually worth something on that subject.
But the psuedo-intellectual leftwing protestors name-dropping him ain't your wife. And they ain't linguisticists* neither.

*one who practices linguistics?

Does anybody know what leftypol thinks of Chomsky?

>> thinking linguists are linguists bc they "speak a lot of languages"

Jesus. I suggest you exit the conversation and at least read a Wikipedia article or something

The real trick to outdoing the Chomsky bullshit is coming to his conclusions from better angles. Don't just oppose nation building in the middle east, oppose it because you can't force democracy on low IQ inbred savage Muslims. Push human biodiversity to undermine egalitarianism and utopianism. Oppose neocon fuckery. Support nationalism because it's the default and argue for it without cowering when they call you racist then know you've won.

The left has done well for so long because the right has been working from the same premise that men are created equal. Once you abandon that premise you reshuffle the cards.

>linguisticists
Cunning linguists

Every time I hear someone say that either Chomsky or Zizek is the only leftist they respect, I know they're also the only leftist intellectuals they know. This is a simple response to social proof, there's no merit to this whatsoever. A lot of people sing their praises and so it must be true. It's a bunch of shit.

He's done a lot to expose the ignorance of blind patriotism and the evils of a military industrial complex, as well as waking people up to the continuing rape of people's liberties by the government and police state, and how Israel holds the US's puppet strings. Manufacturing Consent is a pol "must read". He has some liberal views which pol hates of course, but for the most part he's pretty fucking woke when it comes to the state's suppression of its people. And unlike Alex Jones, he actually makes sense.

this and he's just a meme political analyst that loves being contrarian with a lefty bluepilled spin as an excuse to cloud the real truth, quite intelligent in that regard

His book, Manufacturing Consent, is very informative and i love it.

Once you abandon that premise you lose

you can't possibly be serious?

the media literally bombards us with leftist intellectuals in Europe 24/7

I think the word you are looking for is just linguist.

Also who cares about other people's opinion. Almost the entire linguistic community with phds and therfor the most qualified to form an opinion appreciate the work he has done.

I agree the random leftist name droppers opinion is worthless. But I'm confused with why we are even talking about them. The discussion is on whether Chomsky is based.

You know what's really sad? Styxhexenhammer has a better understanding of Trump than Chomsky. Some youtube wizard.

Taking a step back from the mass media and examining things from without is cool and all but it's really nothing special, not anymore.

Considering the premise is untrue, not really.

Then you have shit taste, sorry to say. He's highly overrated.

BECAUSE (((INTELLECUTALS))) NOWADAYS ARE ALL MARXIST

How ls that manufactured consent to the computer overmind working for yah? Its only every electronic device you own watching you. After all its just calitalism.

My point being, Sup Forums has thrown out so many babies with bathwater its actually surprising to me that we manage to reproduce.

Even an old commie polymath jew can become our useful idiot.

John Rawls has to be one of the most cancerous people to ever live

Oh, and Zizek is even worse. Fucking nose flicking goblin is so full of shit it's embarrassing he has any following at all.

his answer is always "capitalism is evil" to all your points he virtue signals Marxism constantly and blames western capitalism instead of the real culprits, he casts a cleaver bluepilled haze over already established theories

I don't give a shit about Trump, he's basically another zionist puppet. Chomsky's been unwavering in his condemnation of the government's actions regardless of who's been president, and did many years, not just when it was "cool".

>Have any of you faggots read anything by him on propaganda models?
Is that like pic related?

Doesn't matter. Trump is exceedingly simple and the ability to grasp his appeal correctly is a litmus test for the value of someone's analysis. Very, very few people are capable of it which is even more surprising. Something about Trump really triggers the irrational core in a lot of people.

I'm guessing you haven't read his stuff because to say that's his answer to everything is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Manufacturing Consent had nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with the propaganda machine regardless of the political or economic system involved.

Not a linguist, but my friend is a linguistics professor who holds Chomsky in high regard and has attested that he's well-respected among his colleagues. He's also expressed respect for a couple of people in his field who have criticized Chomsky's theories.

Right-wingers, though, who try to use Chomsky's linguistics work as a vector for discrediting his political views are barking up the wrong fucking tree.

Yet you will note, the first reply to this topic uses his linguistic credentials to engage the halo effect. People trash his linguistic creds because they are too stupid to call out the initial sleight of hand. He is respected for his linguistic achievements but people mostly know him for his politics, and that's a fact.

language is the thread of society. without language, how could politics, economics, culture etc. exist? language is a hugely complex medium of communication and it is through our use of it we learn the motives and agendas of people. when you learn about language, you are not just learning how to read, listen and think but why humans in general need to read, listen and think. it is too much of a fundamental aspect of civilization to be simply undermined in the manner you've just demonstrated. when you have a meta understanding of language, you have an understanding of civilization as a whole, as it is where ideas are conceived.

Richard Spencer is a special-ed child who wears a helment and eats play-do compared to Chomsky.

Point me to an article where Chomsky misinterpreted Trump's appeal.

Aren't most of Chomsky's "books" just transcripts of rambling interviews with David Barsamian?

He spouted the usual nativist bullshit and some other silliness.

Plus this jewel.

realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/04/04/chomsky_will_trump_stage_a_terror_attack_to_maintain_power.html

His analysis of Trump is dog shit. The usual demagogue line, as if teaching your trained niggers to blame whitey for everything isn't demagogic. As if wanting to prevent 3rd world immigration with their lower IQ average is somehow a dark and sinister desire void of any possible legitimate rationale.

Great points!
Personally I gave up on created equal a long time ago. I believe in equality under the law, of course.
I love how you use it against them. I'm a fan of such subversive tactics and choose to use them myself.
But for a guy to be sittin in his cozy nest at MIT, giving barely audible talks and lectures spewing rhetoric that mirrors his utter self-loathing, hypersensitive, hypercritical and hypocritical contempt and dare I say blind HATRED for his Home Nation and the Great Patriots within it that live, work and DIE to build for him a society in which he can do what he does and without him showing ever even a glimpse of appreciation for that(the insufferable prick) and then have that POS celebrated like some Uber-Intellectual by The Left and Academia to be held in high esteem and respect even though Chomsky himself has never shown esteem nor respect to anyone or anything(that joyless jew)

Ya see. I was serious when I said I hope he dies, yes?

When the present-era has come to pass, Noam Chomsky will be regarded as about as seriously as Jon Stewart - only less relevent, less influence and not funny. Never funny. Ever.
