Noam Chomsky Is a Scumbag
From Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Krauss to Woody Allen, Chomsky has shown a clear pattern of poor judgment and low moral standards. Hard to express how disappointed I am in him. (2,800 words.)

For all the good he’s done in the world, Chomsky is a man of incredibly poor judgment and low moral standards — at least in his personal life. Unbelievably disappointing!

with Krauss after an avalanche of allegations surfaced, he fostered a friendship with Epstein after Epstein plead guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor, and he willingly went to dinner with Woody Allen despite clear evidence, in my view, that Allen is a predator.

There is a clear pattern of bad behavior here: Chomsky doesn’t care about accusations of sexual misconduct against powerful men who he considers friends. He apparently doesn’t care about the victims, and doesn’t put much weight on their reports of abuse. He chose to ...

This is the guy who Chomsky continued to support through 2019 (and, to my knowledge, up to the present). Little did I know at the time, though, that Chomsky himself was buddies with Epstein!

This is ridiculous. I noted in my response that Chomsky's excuse (last sentence) reminds me of Krauss’ excuse for staying friends with Epstein after the latter pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, for which Epstein received a shockingly lenient sentence.

Why then did Chomsky choose to appear on Krauss’ podcast? Why did Chomsky continue his friendship with Krauss, knowing that Krauss had hurt and traumatized so many women? I asked Chomsky over email, noting Krauss harassed a friend of mine, and this is what he said (paraphrasing):

When pressed about whether he regrets associating with the notorious child sex trafficker, Chomsky wrote: “I’ve met [all] sorts of people, including major war criminals. I don’t regret having met any of them.”

He added: “What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.” Similarly, there's this (from my article):

As discussed in Hasan Piker's video below (around 3:00), a photograph surfaced in 2022 of Chomsky with Epstein’s butler in Paris, which was apparently taken close to Epstein’s apartment in Paris. Why was Chomsky hanging out with Epstein’s butler?
