Todd’s urgent dismissal of the documentary reads to Hoback like an attempt to throw Satoshi-hunters off the scent. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Peter would go on the offense. He’s a master of game theory—it’s what he does. He has spent a lot of years now muddying the waters,” says Hoback. “He’s an unbelievable genius.”
I haven’t seen the docu, but I did like his (Hoback’s) docu about Qanon, Q: Into the Storm.
Lol wut
Kraut has a video in it. Well, actually more about the Bosnian one other highlights not mentioned include the Red Khmer and Rwanda. Ukraine I think, too, at least he’s defending the Russians.
He doesn’t defend the Russians. He just makes the point that what they’re doing is equally as bad as what the US has been doing for decades.
I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTuber is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can’t read for shit and don’t understand philosophy and hypotheticals.
Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.
Thanks. I’ve never seen this misinformation before now.
Just skimmed his position on Ukraine and it’s the ole “only diplomacy will end the war” thing, ie. he ends up regurgitating Kremlin propaganda. Nah, Russia’s economical and political collapse will end it because Russians won’t have the collective will to get rid of Putin before that.
He somewhat relented on the Red Khmer issue in retrospect but defended how he came to the initial conclusion, which is how he managed to repeat and repeat the same mistake again. The shit he said about Bosnia as far as I’m aware he never corrected even in parts and you shouldn’t even ever *begin" to refer to starving concentration camp inmates behind barbed wire as “thin guys”.
I understand when USians value him for writing Manufacturing Consent (and I’ll lump Canucks into that category because broader political sphere), but there’s also a fucking reason he’s persona non grata in Europe.
