    Thanks for the recommendation, will take a look at it. What I’ve read of Chomsky so far is often a critique of (mostly, but not exclusively) US Imperialism, so I’m curious what this person is arguing

      His critique of US imperialism is as I said, done in a way that downplays any alternative in real life and redirects radicals towards cynicism and nihilism. His point can be summed up as “The US Empire is evil, but everyone else is worse, so we have to support it.”
