US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists

Chomsky has supported "anti-imperialist" russia and ignored all warnings by the eastern European people, who dared to walk out on socialism in a freedom movement. Blood on the hands, blood on the quill, blood in the will..

That might be true, but it doesn't disprove the fact that this is happening, does it?

Chomsky also believes 2+2=4. Is that also wrong because you don’t like some of his other beliefs? You seem to think so.

His language hierarchy holds up, but thats not how this works . You can not heap personal catastrophic beliefs into a train waggon and by proof of chaining that train, your work is invalidated or valid and valued.

His academic works stand independent of the unsavoury character -similar to Werner von Braun. But that doesn't remove the fact he supported "any-but-american-imperialism" decorated with racists undertones ("the brown people can not be perpetrator and victims at the same time") and tried to undermine the western value based world order.

This is an inexcusable ad-hominem argument. This is not how we discuss things on this platform.

Chomsky is right about some things and wrong about other things, like every human is.

When we call people experts, that doesn't mean they are infallible, but they are supposed to be better than average.
