my working theory is that because they are social parasites, they want to imagine that history is in fact a series of slippery slopes completely free from human intervention

Because they've been so indoctrinated with working inside of the two party system that their brain is conditioned to fall for that "every side has another symmetric side" bullshit.

always wanting to be more right than everyone else is a disease that infects the liberal mind deeply. It's at the core of the weird anti-bernie people and the people who tut-tut about confronting racism on the streets.

if you actually had read or listened to chomsky other than trying to namecheck him for anarcho-credit, he himself has said "my position and role in society informs my beliefs and actions, if i was the president im not sure i would act any differently than obama" (paraphrasing, not actual quote)

https://www.democracynow.org/2011/2/2/part_2_noam_chomsky_this_is_the_most_remarkable_regional_uprising_that_i_can_remember

quote:

NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, if I were — if I had made it to the presidency, meaning with the kind of constituency and support that’s required to be a president in the United States, I’d probably do what Obama’s doing. But what ought to be done is what Erdogan is doing. Turkey is becoming the most significant country in the region, and it’s recognized. Erdogan is far and away the most popular figure. And they’ve taken a pretty constructive role on many issues. And in this case, he is the one leading public figure, leader, who has been frank, outspoken, clear, and says Mubarak must go now. Now is when we must have change. That’s the right stand. Nothing like that in Europe, and nothing like that here.

lol some erdogan apologism in this quote as well
