"Chomsky...speak"

My question to you is: how did you manage to stay awake? I've tried to listen to Chomsky prattle on C-Span several times, and it's really a struggle to keep my lids open. Seriously, leftists, Chomsky etal, all have the same narrative: capitalists are evil, greedy bast...s who stole the money that the poor had amassed. Or they got to the big pile of wealth that just magically appeared and refused to share it with anyone. I've actually heard leftists argue those last two points.

Now their narrative is that there is a wealth gap (like there wasn't one before), and the rich have too much money. Unsaid is how much the so-called "unrich" have. There are millions of Americans, like my family, whose children grew up in poor families where several siblings now have wealth in the millions category. Not superrich, but very well off compared to their younger days.

I'm convinced Chomsky's "success" (if that's what we'll call it) is from the fact that he speaks in measured tones, is grammatically correct, and can cite history. Each of his sentences on their own sound plausible. In sum - he learned early on to speak, and look like, an "academic."

His logic is absolutely convoluted though. Everything rests on completely unprovable leftist assumptions and the typical leftist cliches. In sum, his Leftism is his RELIGION.
