Chomsky means that street action is unnecessary and counterproductive when the Culture War is already being won via courts, MSM, and education. He has no objection to killing people who disagree with him if he believes those who disagree have the upper hand.
You got it.
Yeah, I guess I was being a bit generous.
Yes and that's right to a point ... the Left was indeed winning the Culture War via the courts, the MSM and [mis] education. The Left has been on insidious Long March through our institutions for decades, and they had almost reached total victory but for the election of Donald Trump.
That's why they're wild with hatred, and now they're pushing it too far, too fast. I guarantee you that millions of Americans are becoming alarmed by the Leftist mobs like they never have been before.
And despite all the weak-kneed pols who are running away from the president, the Left's current behavior will solidify support for Trump not diminish it. That's what Chomsky is recognizing.
