Just another little anti- American Commie “activist.”. Has been for years. Almost always comes out on the wrong side of things he shoot’s his mouth off about.

Sat under Chomsky while at Tufts. He was occasionally on loan from Harvard and brought his zealotry with him. He was uniquely personable, remembering every student’s name, a skill I never developed. In he prime he was a political thunder clap disguised as a gentle, entertaining intellectual. How he has changed.

Yes. In temporary camps where they are to be forced to work. Policemen who refused the vax will be the capos. Don’t tell me this sounds like Nazism! That is a conspiracy theory and crazy./s

As I recall, Noam Chomsky’s linguistics theories were long ago soundly discredited.
