Alexander the Great: "How dare he #molest the sea", pirate: "How dare you molest the whole world. Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a #thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an #emperor", !Chomsky in 'Pirates and emperors, old and new: international terrorism in the real world' 'proposing that what governments coin as #terrorism in the small… -

" 'The fateful triangle: US, Israel and the Palestinians' is mainly concentrated on the '1982 Lebanon War' (1982 - 1985) and the "pro-Zionist" bias of most American media and intellectuals, as Chomsky puts it", the 1999 edition incorporated "the Palestinian uprising (1987 - 1993), Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the ongoing peace process" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fateful_Triangle cc @question -

When you're interested in U.S. #state-sponsored #terrorism have a look at 'Counter-revolutionary violence - bloodbaths in fact and propaganda' (#1973) and you'll hear more about "the 'My Lai Massacre' (1968), devoted one section to 'Operation Speedy Express' (1968 - 1969), and another to the 'Phoenix Program' (1967 - 1973)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Revolutionary_Violence_%E2%80%93_Bloodbaths_in_Fact_%26_Propaganda cc @question -

"As an additional example to the Vietnam War, Noam !Chomsky looks at liberal scholarship which covered the #Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in which the same lack of #objectivity and the same counter-revolutionary #subordination can be seen" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_and_Liberal_Scholarship cc @question -

!Chomsky writes: 'Quite generally, what grounds are there for supposing that those whose claim to #power is based on #knowledge and #technique will be more benign in their exercise of power than those whose claim is based on #wealth or #aristocratic origin? On the contrary, one might expect the new mandarin to be dangerously arrogant, aggressive and incapable of adjusting… -

What do you think about " !Chomsky's view in #1968: US policy (in the #Vietnam War (1956-1975)) was to destroy the #nationalist movements in the South Vietnamese #peasantry (rather than to defend South Vietnam from North Vietnamese aggression). He holds that the former was accomplished rather successfully even if at the expense of the latter." ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Power_and_the_New_Mandarins cc @question -

Do you agree with the "criticisms of 'The Sound Pattern of English' that the so-called #phonological processes alleged to be part of a speaker's competence are really only the successive phonetic transformations of the original historical lexical items. !Chomsky and Halle appear to have replaced diachronic processes with purely #synchronic ones" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_Pattern_of_English -

'The @question, "What have I done?" is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh #atrocities in ... - as we create, or mouth, or tolerate the #deceptions that will be used to justify the next defense of #freedom.'

"In 'Cartesian linguistics: A chapter in the history of rationalist thought' (#1966), !Chomsky traces the development of #linguistic theory from #Descartes to Wilhelm von #Humboldt, that is, from the period of the #Enlightenment directly up to #Romanticism" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_linguistics -

Do you think "that any #deterministic dynamic system will automatically evolve towards a state of #equilibrium (or in more modern terminology, an attractor). As such it will leave behind all non-attractor states (the attractor's basin), and thus select the attractor out of all others. Once there, the further evolution of the system is constrained to remain in the attracto… -
