      I researched this propaganda when I started seeing it on reddit.

      Have you or are you just a reddit echo?

        Yes I have not only researched things said about Chomsky, I’ve read his books.

        Chomsky is absolutely a genocide apologist. He also is an apologist for the Russian invasion of Ukraine

        He has the political/economic mind of a 14 year old edgelord. He’s not an expert at all (in these subjects. He is a fantastic linguist) - he’s just a minor commie celebrity

          The audio cuts out in your video. Maybe because I don’t have a twitter account?

          That said I have read the Ukraine scientists argument against Chomsky’s ‘position’ (most of it is a strawman) as well as Chomsky’s response.

          https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/06/03/the-ukraine-war-chomsky-responds/

          I’ve also read several of his books and his response to the genocide denial claims.

          Here’s a post with some excellent comments on the topic.

          https://www.reddit.com/r/chomsky/comments/rv16ie/what_did_chomsky_actually_said_about_bosnia/

          Both claims against Chomsky reek of CIA/neo-liberal propaganda, imo.

          As to your comments seeking to discredit Chomsky’s expertise in this area, he’s an intellectual who has been following, protesting, and speaking out against Western Imperialism since the Vietnam war.

          Neo-Liberalism (the Democrats) and Fascism (the modern GOP) aren’t the only choices and being critical of neo-liberalism =~ tankie or Russian apologist.

          That’s CIA propaganda and I’m sorry to see it follow posters from reddit.
