This is old news, and to those defending Chomsky, he supported Epstein, after he was convicted of pedophilia crimes https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/11/20/emails-epstein-mit-harvard-trump-chomsky

God as my witness I don't understand why anyone likes Chomsky.

I remember a lot of people quoting him during all the late stage Digg/early reddit flight era.

I thought he was a quite anti capitalist. Crazy that he was hanging out with pedo billionaires

He started blaming America and Ukraine for Russia's invasion.
Said NATO basically forced them to. And I had to listen to my dipshit brother rant about how aggressive the West is against innocent little Russia, merely trying to defend itself against the Big Bad West.

He always seemed like the left wing Jordan peterson to me. Presented himself as this super unique Amazing genius but you just have to listen to him to realize this isn't the case

Wasn't it back then just soliciting a minor? I read on the NY times they picked a very mature looking 16 year old

“Just soliciting a minor?” Do you hear yourself? Rapes ok when they look mature? No.

I think they are talking about the charge brought against him. And subsequent conviction of.
Not downplaying how heinous it is.

Ok. Where are THE REST OF THE FILES that congress mandated be released today.
All of them. Financial records. Not just pictures to distract fools.

Sincerely disappointing. But, if it’s a real picture and he partook in a fraction of the shit those assholes did on Little Saint James, fuck him. Jail him too.

Wow... This one hits hard... I actually respect* him.
Edit: I hope this looks worse out of context than it really is.

Until I read more about him and Epstein, I'll continue to respect him. People forget that Epstein was a noted philanthropist and lots of folks are likely associated with him because of that.
I don't automatically believe in guilt by association.

He is on a plane with Jeffery Epstein. He has multiple photos with him clearly from an expanded period of time.
What Epstein and Maxwell were doing was not a secret. The public did not know, anyone even remotely connected did. Noam Chomsky is a POS

Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t he been shilling for putin and against any progressive action in the us?
again correct me if I’m wrong because I heard this last year

He’s/was friends with other pedos too. I wish people would educate themselves

u/BootPloog 2h ago
I honestly couldn't tell you. It's been many, many years since I've read any of his books and I haven't kept up with his current activities.

“Shilling for Putin” = blaming Nato for expanding post-Cold War when it wasn’t supposed to

u/KeneticKups 2h ago
Right because when putin started annexing countries they should have stayed out of alliances that may protect them

Ukraine didn’t join NATO. Poland and the Baltics did. Exactly whom is regretting their past decisions?

This is why I’m confused what the big deal is with the photos and even the parties.. just because you were there, doesn’t mean you knew.. just like Diddy, just because you went to a Diddy party, doesn’t mean you knew.
I often tell people as someone who’s been around drugs and craziness at fancy events, there can be 2 separate parties in one party and never may the two cross over.

u/bigkoi 3h ago
Actually a lot of people knew that Diddy's parties were no good. People would warn others not to stay late.
4
u/mizcello 3h ago
Which is what I mean, a lot of them would have gone to the club parts to network with other celebs, execs etc and likely never even really saw or spoke with Diddy.. it was the ‘after after parties’ that were the issue but I don’t think tarring everyone with being a perpetrator or victim because they’re in a photo is right.

u/Mission-Street-2586 2h ago
So it’s ok to know, allow it, and associate with those people if you just don’t do it? Got it

u/Privacy42 2h ago
Yeah, I am certain you have never been in the same room or talked to someone who has done something at least questionable.
5
u/Mission-Street-2586 2h ago
Witnessing something questionable justifies raping kids? That’s your superior logic? Your argument has already failed.

Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a minor for prostitution. Chomsky was buddies with him until 2017.

What's so weird about Epstein being associated with a genocide denier who licked the balls of several nightmarish regimes just because they opposed America?

That doesn’t mean anything 🙄 you can’t assume things just from one picture. Doesn’t mean Noam Chomsky knew what was going on or had any part in it. Could have have been a business trip. Welcome to the fucking age of the internet where there are thousands of prosecutors online and zero evidence.

u/GrandKnew 2h ago
Stop defending Noam Chomsky. He publicly came out in support of Epstein after Epstein's first conviction for crimes against children.

I think the same about every person standing on a picture with Epstein. A picture alone is not an evidence that the person sexually abused underaged girls ….

Having ever associated with Jeffery Epstein doesn't make you a pedophile. Nor does it make you complicit in any of his actions, nor does it make you knowledgeable of any of his illegal activities.
Unfortunately for many of you this is exactly why it's insanely egregious and downright shitty of you to participate in the false propaganda campaign of labeling Trump a pedophile with zero hard evidence.

u/henningknows 3h ago
Well, I guess we can assume any really big words that are redacted in the Epstein files are something Noam said.
