yea sorry, but this paragraph is also shit, because it reduces “the ruling class” to “capitalists”, and omitting what chomsky himself said about the abuse of women. this is not only about capitalism, it is also about patriarchy. chomsky wasn’t just seduced by the ruling class, he is a man.
This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

This entire wave of "protection" for kids is not for kids, of course, it's for parents. People like to assume that's the same thing, but sadly it isn't.
We know, as a society, that plenty of kids are not loved and are not safe with their parents, specially queer kids.

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-.
this is also -the point of age verification-.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"
I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.

men are the ruling class of patriarchy. chomsky can be seduced by the capitalist ruling class because he wants patriarchy to be upheld.

Benefits of the EU countries I've worked in so far (🇩🇪 & 🇦🇹):
- better salary
- better healthcare
- better pension
- higher standard of living
- cheaper rent
- more access to research funding
- *significantly* more trans friendly
I have basically no reason to move back to the UK. 🤷♀️

*raises hand* this is me! I will probably never move back to the UK given how awful the research funding situation is.
Also, prohibitive immigration rules would make it difficult and expensive for my (EU) partner to move there, adding another financial disincentive on ever returning.
