Chomsky is surprisingly easy to interview.

There are interviews out there with various 'unknowns' who have shot him an email and he responded. He also speaks regularly to quite extreme characters on the right. Don't forget, he did an interview with Alex Jones (2007) and even Stefan Molyneux (c. 2014). Chomsky is a true public intellectual who will speak to almost anyone.

Think this is partly because of Concision. Unless a tv-channel is public, there is always a commercial right around the corner. I love Chomsky, but he is not very concise, as even himself says a lot. This can become a problem during a tv interview, but not in a written interview.

It was definitely tongue in cheek lol, but Chomsky was 100% serious, and *100% right to say it that way.* There aren't even _shreds_ of humanity left in that despicable party anymore, and if there ARE any shreds that have slipped by inside of a truly negligible number of GOP politicians, those politicians have been silenced by leadership, or they're deathly afraid (rightfully so) of their party's base.

[@ivarbrouwer197]

Indeed republicans are all about tribalism. There’s no sense of the greater good, or even satisfaction that we have the ability to help the ones in need. What Chomsky sort of points out is that humanity is about caring/considering for everyone’s needs in the abstract sense is the defining treat that sets us apart from apes and monkeys.

Left wing and liberal are not interchangeable, Chomsky is NOT a liberal

[@conors4430]

Yeah it was really good. Not to be pedantic either but, Chomsky is called a liberal by people who like him and by those who hate him, but definitionally he’s not a liberal which is a good thing. I mean politically liberal, not the common use term. Again, sorry, I’m being pedantic. Political liberals are more like the establishment Democrats, very much keep all major things as the status quo, but maybe tinker with a phew things around the edges. They don’t want theocracy and conservatism, but they don’t want workers equality or expansion of rights either.
