RIP to him, obviously we all have our criticisms but reading How the World Works in my mid 20s was literally my first real encounter with leftist ideas, the first crack in my worldview that the US was a moral leader marching everyone to a bright future.

edit: actually he's still alive, EAT SHIT YOU TURBOLIB TRAITOR

I think it's quite nice that Noam gets a chance to hear the nice things people will say about him after his death with all these early obituaries posted.

I think some people might wish that folks had said nice things to them before they died.

Jose Santana who worked with Chomsky is claiming to have talked to his wife and that he's fine.

A Chomsky croaks a thousand times before his death, but the liberal croaks but once.

It seems to me most strange that men should prematurely publish obituaries, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.

I'm going to have a drink in honour of Chomsky tonight. Not because he's dead or anything but because he always sounds perpetually thirsty and my throat is getting dry just thinking about the guy.

Let me email him. He always replies

here's to a real one, i emailed him some stupid shit when i was 15 and he responded very nicely

he has risen

That link working for anyone?

Varoufakis penned an obituary in The New Statesman but that page isn't accessible:

Jacobin dropped one but I'm having trouble getting that to load as well.

Edit: Looks like Jacobin dropped an obituary, possibly too soon and they may have retracted it along with the other publications. It's kinda funny how everyone has their obituaries drafted and ready to publish at a moment's notice when a major figure is getting closer to kicking the bucket, in a dark sort of way.

Yeah, looks like Jacobin might have jumped the gun on this one:

Their website is currently down but this tweet has been deleted since they posted it and the associated obituary.

The Chomsky sub posted tweets from an ABC reporter and MIT research associate saying he is still alive.

Source: his wife.

Who? Is this one of those rappers or streamers you kids are always talking about

Everything I've seen says "unconfirmed"

Wikipedia has been updated to past tense https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Noam_Chomsky&diffonly=true

Honestly more surprised he's still alive

omg chat they removed jebasted

The only way to survive, is to not die

What if the reason Kissinger finally died is that old Chompers stole his phylacteries.

I'm getting conflicting signals. What's going on?

Or not WHATEVER

Sadly, Nim Chimpsky is still beyond the veil.

Just have to wait for the confirmation to drop the

couldn't even save himself from manufacturing consent, now he's a vote blue no matter who tool of the state
