TONIGHT, MY FRIENDS, WE ARE WITNESSING "PEAK BOBO"Sure.Tell it to Noam Chomsky. He is being neither humorous nor stupid when he identifies as a "libertarian socialist."
Anyone who thinks they are "libertarian socialist" is fucking retarded and clearly doesn't understand one or both terms.
Can't have socialism without authoritarianism, it's an inherently authoritarian ideology and 100% impossible with a libertarian government.
Over the years, we've witnessed the sorry spectacle of the bitter situational Korean-American playing games with words, redefining words and concepts to fit his inherently incoherent political agenda. Rarely does a day pass when he fails to invoke his shibboleth "But..but...dictionary says!" and give us his own spin on what words and phrases "really mean".
Tonight, we have had something very special occur: the man we call Chan took umbrage at Noam Chomsky for having the temerity to refer to himself as a "libertarian socialist". Chan claimed anyone who used those words was "fucking retarded" and "clearly doesn't understand one or both terms".
A few data points:
- Noam Chomsky has a doctorate (PhD) in the field of linguistics.
- Noam Chomsky spent his entire career teaching linguistics at the college and graduate level.
- Noam Chomsky has literally written the book on modern 20th century linguistics.
- Noam Chomsky has written more political books (100+) than Chan has likely ever read
Yet here we are, Chan bleating furiously that Dr. Chomsky doesn't understand the words or concepts that Chomsky himself helped to define. NUH UH! NUH UH! NUH UH!
The hubris of Chan here is quite literally off the charts here!
Tell you what Chan, if you truly feel that you have a better understanding of what Dr. Chomsky's words "really mean" than Dr. Chomsky himself, I suggest you find yourself a piece of paper and a crayon and write a letter to Dr. Chomsky detailing where he made his error and more importantly make sure to tell him what you REALLY think he believes.
I'm sure he'd be delighted to hear from you.
MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR TRADEMARK "ALL CAPS" SENTENCES TO LET NOAM CHOMSKY KNOW YOU ARE REALLY REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT ALL OF THIS!
Pro-tip: Try to abstain from using your other trademark catchphrase "fucking retarded" in your letter. I know your parents used that phase as a term of endearment when talking to you, but you don't have that level of familiarity with Dr. Chomsky.
