You know, Orn, my very first tangle with you was on the issue of race, when I used the exact methodologies you just explained, to which you took offense, despite my sincere apologies. Your series of posts here in which you engage in both presumptive thought and projection of your own tactics on to me is enlightening, although surprising, given your retort back then that you would never engage in that sort of thing. Perhaps you've learned the value of such tactics since then?
Yes, it took a right wing think tank to note the innate hypocrisy of Chomsky's positions. The Left venerates him far too much to admit any of his faults. You still falsely assume I'm on the Right, and so put forth a bipartisan response...an example of your own bifurcation. At some point, I genuinely hope you realize my true stance in the middle, assuming you understand the possibility of such a stance. Until that day, I believe we'll probably remain sparring partners, which has its own benefits; I've rarely had the pleasure of engaging with someone as educated and debate ready as yourself.

The results have been predictable overall. In fact, this has happened so many times that I can’t count them all. My post by a radical leftie was carefully selected in response to the rightwing ‘think tank’ post…and the bell rang…and out of each corner…well, you get the picture. Overall, rather than blatant trolling, I do this more in the methodology of Neil’s nonsensical and thus experimental and professed educational postings… continuing to do what he used to do professionally here for free. Is it possible to escape mental constructs? Is it possible to assist others in independent thinking? I’m actually not sure. However, quite often I see most here, from gabbers to Molly make attempts at such ends. In fact, I share just as much apparent hypocrisy as any human being. And, as far as I can tell, such things are mostly if not all projections. So, quickly, back to Noam…yes, I do appreciate his way of looking at things. Since I started reading and studying his stuff recently, I have been able to break free of quite a few areas of thought based on ignorance and blind belief…kinda like many of the ‘sheeple’ often referred to who begin to wake up. In this way, I’ve found him to be of value…slashing through social memes and/or propaganda. They are quite similar. And, without meaning to be a Chomsky apologist, a handful of ME members seem to have had similar epiphanies from his views. If so, my intentions, regardless of methodology, have been successful.
