People like Chomsky believe conspiracy theories because it helps them to make sense of the world and certain events that are normally beyond their grasp or sense of reason. Their fictional evil world is more comforting than the real evil we live in. He also likes to quote all these obscure magazines, interviews and papers. This is how you simulate science or the scientific method. There is no hole in his theory, he just can't stand that many things are just coincidence. He is an idiot |

I think that as a critical thinker this often means he has to play devils advocate.I'm not saying I agree with everything he says,just that sometimes he opens the floor for debate where previously it may have been closed. |

"I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers or even denial of the Holocaust" Noam Chomsky. |

replace chomsky with alex jones and your post might make sense. chomsky doesn't espouse conspiracy theories - in fact he distances himself from them on every opportunity. And the comfort rational of conspiracy theorists is as old as the hills- can't you troll better? |

Nom Nom Chompsky |

Like I said,I dont agree with everything he says,and I certainly do not agree with that statement.However I am interested as to the origin and context of that particular quote,as it reads to me like a line from a holocaust revisionist manifesto. |

He ain't a conspiracy theorist, but he is a conspirationist. His Impact on formulation of mass apealing ideologies and conspiracy theories is largely underestimated. Chomsky's appeal is directed to people susceptibility to conspiracy theories |

Okay thankyou.Reading it now. |

I cant argue that quote seems like an anti-semetic statement.Although Chomsky is Jewish,that particular comment/quote seems to be something a little more spiteful than thoughtless rhetoric.However,this whole subject seems to be never ending,with Chomsky,as always,trying to debate the undebatable.I stand by my original comment,I believe Chomsky to be an important figure in our culture and a particularly brilliant mind.He's far from being an idiot really isnt he? |

Its called structural anti-semitism. Despite Chomsky being jewish, of course he can be an anti-semite as well. |

I know about about structural anti-semitism from Nicholas Donin through to the Bolsheviks using the Jewish Bund.But as Im not Jewish I can hardly argue the case for or against Chomskys statement which appears to me to be an unfathomable attitude towards the Jewry and the holocaust..I feel that it's like me telling a black guy not to use the N word. Or am I looking at this far too simplistically? |

Well Nigger is still a degenaratory term even when it is used by blacks. Even if it is used in a 'friendly' manner between black people it still has a racist connotation |

Chomsky is not a conspiratist. He bases all his saying on historical facts. Some of his fans on the other hand, can be pure twats. |

Never found the occasion (as i think i ramble a bit too much about bloody cigars). But wanted to mention the other day i went to see a lady from cuba do a demonstration. She rolled many and gave me one. I was like a child. |

Wow. :) Your enthusiasm for cigars never ceases to amaze me. |

By the way,monoid,sorry for unraveling your thread man. |
||||||||
|

And it's growing! It's such a comfort, a pleasure to pass time with a cigar. The smoke, the relaxed body, the nice thoughts wandering. Alert! Alert! Chas and Dave have split. I should have a Big Train link for you but can't seem to find it on youtube and such. |

I wish i could find the big train sketch. I'm amazed it didn't instantly turn up on youtube. Not that i'm searching like a madman. |

I remember my Dad taking us all to a pub down the old kent road after some carnival somewhere.We sat on the wall with one bottle of pepsi and five straws,and from the inside of the snug wafted the smell of stout and the dulcet tones of old ladies singing 'my dear old dutch'. Is it any wonder Ive avoided music for years? |

Monoid you don't even know what you're talking about. Why don't you rant about a point you can factually explain. You're an idiot. |

Can you factually explain this? |

He's not Jewish either, It says on Wikipedia that his parents were Jewish, but people are not born religiously devout. Meaning even though people are born into jewish families does not dictate that the child will follow that religion, and if you think otherwise you're purist and probably a racist too. He's stated in an interview that "I am a child of the Enlightenment. I think irrational belief is a dangerous phenomenon, and I try to consciously avoid irrational belief. " given the fact that intellectuals of the past (like Marx) have prescribed to anti-semitic conclusions due to lack of knowledge on the subject, it's horrible to see that anti-semitism is still around. |

It's not like people have to be PRO-semitism. |
