Whilst giving a Nazi a shitkicking would be great fun, it's not something that can be condoned. Not when they're just talking.

Chomsky could very much be considered a computer scientist.

In Russia, public opinion doesn't consider PhD in economics to be real PhDs :) (n/t)

Yeah but in Russia you also turn down the Fields Medal on principle too. nt

Quoting Perelman (my translation)

Kstatida September 12, 2017 12:11PM

Much of this matches my impression

Kstatida September 11, 2017 10:41PM

Influential on the Left. Though less so this generation than last.

Rhyaldrin September 08, 2017 12:42PM

Yes. It would be wise for any left-winger to disown Antifa entirely (n/t)

starbright September 09, 2017 03:00AM

I agree completely.
