He defended the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia and their use of child soldiers. “It is noteworthy that in the varied attempts to find a solution to this most difficult question, one conceivable hypothesis does not seem to have been considered, even to be rejected: that there was a significant degree of peasant support for the Khmer Rouge and the measures that they had instituted in the countryside.”

Chomsky and Herman attempt to downplay the significance of child labor by claiming that “vocational training” for twelve-year-old children is “not generally regarded as an atrocity in a poor peasant society.”(90) The argument is a waste of ink. No amount of scholarly doublespeak can conceal the fact that child slavery is not “vocational training.”

There two kinds of NAS. First, there’s network attached storage. Then there’s nazi adjacent sentiment.

Unfortunately, this is the latter

In the introduction (I did not click through to read the full article) he claims Haiti as a country with “no significant colonial history”. Also apparently the original article was 2012, he got dunked on by the whole world and this is his salty reply to the haters.

If colonialism is so good, how about we colonize England and see how they like it?

No you see that would be bad because England is _white developed so it’s only good when they do the colonizing.

That’s the alt-right “Romans colonized us” argument. If you used it by accident, stop using it.
