Yep. It can be thought that Chomsky had chomskeed himself before in, as they like to say, “the wake of 9/11”. Last month, he chomskeed himself again, this time completely.

For anyone unfamiliar with chomskeeing:

My Dictionary: ‘chomskee’

chom·​skee / chäm-ˈskē

Definition of ‘chomskee’

Actually...I started "divorcing" Chomsky at the time he started pushing the 'vote the lesser evil', i.e. Hillary Clinton, party line. (No dissent or even arguing allowed, by the way.) Then, shortly after that, I found him deep, deep in bed with the Catalan independentist mafia, signing letters in support of the "political prisoners" and liying outright about the whole Catalan Question on an interview, more through lazy ignorance/poor information or fuzzy knowledge than through bad faith, probably. But for me that was that. So I was not a bit surprised when he took the 'lock 'em all up' position re. the Pantomic. Sic transit gloria.
