I think in reality he doesn't hate the US... but he hates himself so much that he project that hatred onto something else. Someone pray for him for he is a nut job.
Chomsky has actually said that North Korea is a model state.
The rent, dear boy, the rent. Who else but MIT would pay this a&&hole a hefty six figure salary for doing no work? Do you think he actually teaches anything? No way. Tenure means saying F* you to the taxpayers and your fellow citizens, and smirking up your sleeve at the fools who send their children your way.
"Why does Chomsky even live here? I mean if he hates the US and what we stand for so much why doesn't he just leave? "
Because he is full of crap and he knows it. He knows darn well that there is not better place to live on Earth that the USA. Like mose liberals, he is in denial.
He lives here because he's making a great living pretending to be a dissident intellectual. If he went to Venezuela he'd have to give up his house in the country, the big paychecks, and the limousines and go live in a mud hut.
I am sorry to tell you this, but Chomsky is on record supporting North Korea.
He is also in a position where, no matter what evil regime takes him, he will always profit.
Cuba, North Korea, etc, will gladly welcome him and allow him to profit.
