i won't troll you but i will castigate you

never mention #Chomsky again

nevermind him licking #Putin's boots over the invasion of #Ukraine

Noam is in the #EpsteinFiles defending #Epstein

he did this *after* Epstein was revealed as a pedophile human trafficker

Fuck #NoamChomsky

And I am not attacking the left, ironically, in contradiction to what I have said above:

A pedophile/ #imperialism apologist is not of the left

Chomsky is not of the left

Not anymore at least

#Russia is using #Starlink to fly #drones deep into #Ukraine, thereby evading electronic warfare.

Poland’s FM recently criticised Musk, the creator of Starlink, for profiting off of war crimes, urging him to cut Russia off of Starlink. In response, Musk called him an “imbecile”.
