Renowned intellectual and linguist Noam Chomsky has passed away at the age of 95. Chomsky, a prolific writer and esteemed professor at the University of Arizona, was known for his critical views on U.S. foreign policy and his advocacy for Palestinian rights. Throughout his career, he made significant contributions to the fields of linguistics and political thought, influencing generations of scholars and activists. Chomsky's work, including his famous 1970 paper 'Remarks on Nominalization,' has left a lasting impact on both academia and public discourse. More than any other thinker in the postwar era, Chomsky embodied Karl Marx’s dictum: 'nothing human is alien to me.' His passing marks the end of an era for many who admired his tireless commitment to intellectual rigor and social justice. Chomsky, who lived from 1928 to 2024, also held controversial views on topics such as the Cambodian genocide.
The Varoufakis obit of Chomsky is, you’d expect, equal parts narcissistic & revolting. “In 2023, I consulted him on how to maintain a moral balance between our duty to call out Washington’s imperialist encroachments on Iran, Russia and China…” https://t.co/SRdvdIPTP4

Chomsky, a Man of the Left so spectacularly wrong on so many things but who managed to live long enough that the rest of the Left started to make him seem reasonable https://t.co/KKXxmKHcv9
Noam Chomsky has passed away. https://t.co/EXxHNWh5g6
Friedrich Hayek was a big fan of Noam Chomsky and his work in linguistics. Hayek often cited Chomsky's work, and he sent Chomsky his theoretical papers in the foundations of social science, which Chomsky always appreciatively acknowledged. https://t.co/p6J8Yjrsn8
Chomsky was a genius, with occasionally atrocious political views (Cambodia). No one is perfect. RIP. https://t.co/TN9HNXBJwT
Is there any confirmation on rumors about Chomsky’s passing or are anonymous Twitter users MANUFACTURING MY CONSENT?!?!
"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume there is no hope, you guarantee no hope. The choice is yours." - Noam Chomsky, RIP
Our Sustain What #Chomsky conversation had some moments that are highly relevant these days. https://t.co/JuKaS7ZX6V

RIP Noam Chomsky, I sent you an email for a story and while I didn’t think your response was as very well thought out, to be fair you did respond and you were like 90.
Chromsky is a scumbag communist who wanted to force me to get vaccinated He won’t be missed https://t.co/1IZddYHERS
To honor Noam Chomsky's legacy, I am going to vehemently deny that he is actually dead no matter how much evidence you show me that points to the contrary.
Chomsky the grey is dead. I'm awaiting his return as Chomsky the white. https://t.co/N7t5hJf6Q9
Early reports state that the renown Noam Chomsky has died. He was frequently mentioned in "Climate Denial in American Politics" and we had briefly discussed the manuscript by email. He will be missed. https://t.co/qUGhtVj1gC https://t.co/rqxIWp6E2i 🌏🔥 #ClimateBrawl 🔥🌏
His headstone should read: Apologist for Pol Pot, Assad, Nasrallah… etc https://t.co/0q0F9ceIrW
Noam Chomsky's professional legacy was diverting much of the field of linguistics from productive research for decades. Chomsky's linguistics "research" bears as much relation to science as Chomsky's political writing does to reality—i.e., none.

We’re sad to hear of the death of Noam Chomsky. Noam was a renowned intellectual and tireless activist who challenged the worst crimes of Western imperialism. His unwavering support for progressive campaigns and social movements will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
In honor of Noam Chomsky's views on the Cambodian and Bosnian genocides, please deny his death ever happened and call everyone mourning it a bloodthirsty lying warmonger.

RIP to Noam Chomsky who formed several generations politics
Noam Chomsky just died. Smart guy. Thought a lot of what he says was spot on. Some of it was wackadoo or misunderstood by many. That’s not a bad record, plus he lived a long time. The loss is ours, mainly in this time of intellectual shit passing for thought leadership.
I was lucky to get to collaborate with Noam Chomsky a few times - always very grateful for his longstanding support of @NACLA and his teachings as a clear-eyed critic of US empire. QDEP. https://t.co/RyBhToVrwX
Chomsky was one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. I am so sad to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Noam for all your intellectual contributions to the world. RIP. https://t.co/SFrywRL0f1
More than any other thinker in the postwar era, Noam Chomsky embodied Karl Marx’s favorite dictum: “nothing human is alien to me.” https://t.co/LOGpzZyRkR
The world as so many of us see it has been shaped by the thinking of Noam Chomsky. Interviewing and talking with him was just about as great of an honor one could have, next to him teaching at University of Arizona. Thank you for sharing your mind and spirit, Professor.
Noam Chomsky's "Remarks on Nominalization" (1970) would have been enough, dayenu. RIP.
Beefing with the CIA till 2024. What a life. RIP Noam Chomsky. https://t.co/n1ecnOTvtj
