Richard Stallman
One of the greatest intellectuals of our time, along with Jared Diamond, Judith Butler, and Howard Zinn.

I c whut u did ther
>>70057285
Yeah, I named the greatest intellectuals of our time. And?
I would add Leon Trotsky and Sigmund Freud if I could include the 20th century.

>Judith Butler
>"The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power."
Yes, true intellectual we got here.
He's full of hot air, he thinks that by talking at length about essentially nothing maintains the illusion that he's intelligent.
You could probably create a Markov bot of Chomsky quotes and no one would be the wiser.

He is intelligent. He use to be much more concise and quick. He's old as shit now and he's become much more long winded.
Chomsky is basically what would happen if you took Ron Paul and took out all knowledge of economics and then added in some mudslime sympathizing.
>I was a chumpsky when I was a 14 year old redditor
>>70057957
He states his opinions clearly about the relevant topic and gives his reasoning. He's not talking about "essentially nothing". His talks aren't aimed at intellectuals who have memorised definitions of obscure economic concepts.
>>70056347
mostly annoying and whiny
>>70056347
He's smarter than any faggot you'll see on this board, senpai.
He's got a stupid name
>>70056347
good linguist with shit tier political views
Wrong 95% of the time
>>70056347
People still take Known Chumpsky seriously?
He's a friend of Stefan Molyneux, my messiah so he must be good
>>70058792
he's not just a "good" linguist, he practically founded the entire fucking discipline in its current form
this is like saying "Freud was a good psychologist"
it's not really about that
>>70057050
Stallman has a very specific knowledge of politics and corporations. He simply doesn't have the scope of Chomsky.
I think it will be some Arab or Indisn or Jaw academic after Chomsky there's a handful of contenders
>>70059636
y-you too
>>70058792
Please show me where in the brain the Language Acquisition Device is?
>>70057050
Richard Stallman is leftism incarnate.

He's gagged. Grapevine says he's admitted 9/11 was an inside job privately but can't actually say so publicly. He probably gagging on a few things...

That doesn't imply what you think it implies.
