The Chomsky quote is ironic in light of how much he bought into covid biototalitarianism.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say he underestimated the capacity of well-run propaganda systems to drive people to irrational, murderous, and suicidal behavior.
Chomsky, October 2021:
“People who refuse to accept vaccines, I think the right response for them is not to force them to, but rather to insist that they be isolated. If people decide, ‘I am willing to be a danger to the community by refusing to vaccinate,’ they should say then, ‘Well, I also have the decency to isolate myself. I don’t want a vaccine, but I don’t have the right to run around harming people.’ That should be a convention …
“Enforcing is a different question. It should be understood, and we should try to get it to be understood. If it really reaches the point where they are severely endangering people, then of course you have to do something about it …
“How can we get food to them? Well, that’s actually their problem.”

Thanks Amy. Much needed laughs.
