I didn't fully read this post but what's interesting is that it does the same thing that other Chomsky fans have done: They split up Chomsky's personality and compartmentalise the different parts.
I think someone should do a little critique of this seeming trend. Because it's not necessarily used for, say, Trump, or Andrew Mountbatten.
At least not on the left. I've not seen people talking about the two sides of Andrew Mountbatten.
I get Chomsky was influential but I struggle with the two-personas thing because it feels like an attempt to excuse poor behaviour.
I think humans do have different sides to them, sometimes contradictory, and I think the different sides of Chomsky are quite interesting because they appear to be polar opposites.
But I don't understand people's trouble accepting Chomsky's friendship with Epstein.
Still, the article is good because it lists some of Chomsky's strengths and political influences.
