We are so lucky to have Chomsky!

[@7cjobrien]

This guy should be our great leader.

[@Bellantoni]

I just clicked on this video because I wanted to see what Chomsky looks like without his glasses.

[@poeye]

83 years old and still going strong.

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

92 and not missing a beat

[@AstralFrost]

Loving hearing from Chomsky on the election!

[@TMMx]

Why's he not wearing his glasses? It looks weird.

[@TheJonnyEnglish]

It’s scary to hear the progression of neoliberal policy through Chomsky’s speeches over the years.

[@BennyOcean]

Agree. Rarely seen him without them. Maybe he got lasik.

[@PlainIntricacy]

That would defeat the (real) purpose of the debates.

[@E.Pluribus.Unum.]

I’m going to buy the propaganda book mentioned. I’m also going to teach Chomsky’s intel to my future children (and peers)

[@LothairApoclyane]

Which is to waste our time and mock our intelligence?
