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.”
Interesting point! I was not aware of Chomsky's going all in on Covid tyranny. Perhaps this more highlights the ability of fear to short circuit intelligent and compassionate debate on these subject matters. For an intellectual he sounds quite stupid. A fundamental right to coexist must be the basis of human society or else you simply have genocide
A lot of it supposedly originated in his wife. She takes all the Blue Anon dogma quite seriously, they say. And for as tuned in as he is on foreign policy, that’s largely because the truth on that still makes it into a newspaper or academic publication somewhere if you know where to look. Chomsky is just too old to be on the cutting edge of COVID.
That said, his instincts should’ve flared at some point in this. Instead he’s calling for concentration camps himself. Just goes to show how effective fear porn can be, especially on the most physically vulnerable.

Oh, yeah. Noam Chomsky is one of my key data points for trying to gauge just how unprecedented and immense covidianism was/is.
Guy spends his entire, long life dissecting corporate-military propaganda, only to swallow whole the biggest, most blatant op in history.
In the words of the stereotypical bad stand-up comic, “What’s up with that?”

Thanks Amy. Much needed laughs.
I might use the Ohio/Ukraine one as a profile pic for my Asean Now account!
LOL do it!
Just checked the AN forum rules:
8. You will not post vulgarities, obscenities or profanities.
They would just ban me.
So I have just opted for an Ohio flag, looks pretty cool and the message is still implicitly conveyed.
It works for me! We had one in our house growing up so I got a chuckle out of it...
Wonderful set! . . . as usual . . . :-)
All good.
Best one: The actual warmonger nation is outed>>>the US.
The immature, unevolved US leadership and influencers must be removed and replaced with mature and evolved people.
People who understand that the correct use of too much power is to refrain from using that power.
Chomsky has become old and ditty.
His about face demonizing the unvaxxed is illogical and irrational.
It is the newly vaxxed that should be isolated.
For two weeks, until the vax "immunity" develops.
The not vaxxed are never a threat to the vaxxed.
Safe and effective!!
Safe and effective!!
What a sense of humor and truths here !! Thanks Amy 🤗👏🏻
Thanks! I'm going to repost a lot of these.
Cheers.
