Hard to disagree with the tweet they quote 6:30:

'Chomsky has spent his entire career criticizing manufactured consent and corporate corruption, yet here he is in the files helping the ultimate predator manufacture his own comeback. It's not just a bad look, it's a total betrayal of everything he claims to stand for.'

That email is prob the most damaging revelation about this for me, too. You could argue he dashed it off in haste, "he's super busy", "he replies to every email", "he can't get everything right" etc. except he himself makes the point about ppl attacking epstein in bad faith not looking into the details of the case. And this comes after the 2008 conviction (where you would have thought any decent person should have cut ties completely) and multiple credible accusations building up against him. And NC just assumes it's like the graun calling him a genocide denier or some shit? No, he refused to look into the accusations because he wanted to maintain the relationship, and assisted the criminal with his cover-up & media campaign to clear his name.

It doesn't invalidate all the good work he has done throughout his life, but as Keaton says, even if associating with this monster isn't technically criminal (ie: assuming NC never had any 'pizza' himself), it's certainly a huge black mark on his moral character, so much moreso after the 2008 conviction. Besides, how can someone so tuned in to the lies and manipulations of politicians and the msm fall for such an obvious conman? Is he just completely lacking in interpersonal relationship savvy or something? Quite shocking really...
