Chomsky is paid opposition, to deliver a softer message. He was also friend with Epstein.

Chomsky is paid opposition

I would like to know too. Having bad takes and not the most radical analysis doesnt make one paid opposition. There is a reddit thread that discusses a longer article that tries to proof that exact statement and IMO fails doing exactly that.
