Why is this guy hated on /lit/. His books are excellent and easy to digest, his life in academia is stellar.

You’re right, it’s perplexing! If there are few characteristics /lit/ is known for, they are logical positivism, democratic sentiment, high materialism, veneration of modern academia and a healthy dosage of philo-semitism

He's a neoliberal shill. What else is there to know?

Why does /lit/ always look for the negative?

Chomsky lays out the bare facts on the current events he's studying. You prefer a different interpretation of wars for profits, corporate capture of the government, the inherent problems with capitalism? Big deal.
