Look again, it’s Friday, and as such it is also time for another installment of “Pictures of Kanye, Words of Noam”, where we look at pictures of Kanye West and read the words of Noam Chomsky.
I love this quote by Chomsky. It was written in 1992 and accurately predicted the level of communal discourse and debate that is commonly know as “the internet”. There can be debate and polite disagreement on the internet, I’m fairly certain, even if I’ve yet to experience it first-hand.
Kanye West said, in the song “Swagga Like Us”:
Na-na-na
How it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine?
Na-na-na-na-na
Trying to get that Kobe number, one over Jordan
I guess name calling, trolling, and eliciting a predictable torrent of abuse in response isn’t just limited to the internet.
I claim no copyrights to the words or to the photographs, just for the smashing of them together. If you are the holder of said copyrights, please contact me. I can read in English or in French, but that’s it. Any other language and you will just end up being babelfish‘d.
