Which the right isn´t fond of aswell. However his analysis on the media, power-poletics and linguistics are on point.

This. Saw a video where someone asks him about The Bell Curve and he casually responds "oh yea that's just pure racism". He then says the proper way to respond is to ask "why they're doing it" as if the motive of someone doing scientific or statistical research is the important factor in this. Finally, in the end, he mentions there's no point in arguing at all about these subjects. The lady asking the question was Asian too for some added irony. As a statistics major and someone who always looks at data first, I've noticed lots of left-wing talking points can be easily debunked with data.

Governments purposely support conspiracy theories precisely for control. If you need a concrete example, look at the 'mastermind' theory in Turkey, which is actively supported by Erdogan.
You are construing conspiracy theorists as somehow 'fighting the power', thereby legitimizing each and every crackpot. I am instead focusing on how they operate on their insularity.
Conspiracy theories, whether bottom-up or top-down, fall apart by analyzing a wide array of sources. If a theory cannot account for a vast array of data, it falls apart, which is why successful ideologies effectively account for all experiential data and thus can become sublime. Rather than seek to account concretely for dissenting data, theorists chalk it up to their boogeyman, trying to protect their insularity while their theory becomes more and more convoluted. It's not built on the basis of logic.
I find your attempt to normalize this type of delusional thinking aggravating.

Yes, and I don't dispute that. They specifically are likely to support the crazy 'backyard' conspiracies that involve people pouring over publicly released media for 'clues' that point towards crazy shit happening that is actually benign because they know it's bullshit. The actual significant conspiracies, however, are not meticulously hidden, to be uncovered by foiled hat snoops, but rather are left in the open, but suppressed in terms of active media coverage.

You people are fucking morons. If you actually believed and internalized any of the "IQ" and "race" bullshit you spout as anything beyond a tool to win slapfights, you'd go stone crazy.

The rusted shore of this anoxic offal pond is the absolute circumference of your abilities. As good as your parents did, your boomer dad and your braindead mom, you will almost certainly do worse.

Too empirically oriented but has some interesting insights. I doubt there will be much Chomsky on shelves years down the road just like Russell other than a piece or two at best. That's the problem with not theorizing, not that interesting to read without a historical motive to read works concentrated on a moment in time. His lack of a dialectical approach reduces what he's produced to just observations.

Bertrand Russell was a terrible historian, all of his books about history and politics were pretty much tepid divulgative nonsense. I don't agree with Chomsky on many points, but I really have to concede that at the very least he is competent and educated enough to speak in public about these topics

Noam Chomsky is not the anti-establishment government dissenting intellectual figure he is made out to be. He literally told people to vote for Hilary Clinton under a "lesser evil" pretense. He is not genuinely interested in stopping the campaign of terror, oppression and murder perpetrated by the US.

Yes, and he's completely correct to do so. Nobody even has an argument against this that isn't ridiculous. Obviously it would have been good to do whatever to prevent Trump getting in, and it's this practical sense that Chomsky has that makes him worthwhile and even outright superior to pie in the sky theorists who pretend to have a gameplan but don't.

I'm utterly convinced this thread proves that there is a task force committed to actively making Chomsky look ridiculous by getting people to argue about inane shit while ignoring his actual published works, which are meticulously argued and which I have never seen an actual take down of.
