So I see this posted here every once and awhile and people consistently say Chomsky shouldn't be on the list. But to me he just seems like a quasi marxist? Can you explain?

They're just memes meant to bait people into posting. Don't take them seriously. Seriously even if you don't like Chomsky's politics he's obviously not a pseud and he's not on the level of like Alex Jones lmao

how can u not spot this as bait

Everyone is a pseudo-intellectual, except me. Aa Veeky Forums user.

It is because no matter whther you agree with someone, you have to acknowledge their position as a true intellectual when they present original, influential, and academically rigorous ideas, which Noam Chomsky has consistently done in both linguistics and political theory. By this same standard, Bill Buckley, Reza Aslan, Slavov Zizek, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Jordan Peterson and (arguably) Christopher Hitchens should not be on this list. It appears as if someone just wrote down everyone they disagreed with. Besides, if you weren't to listen to any pseudo -intellectuals, you should ignore everyone on Veeky Forums.
This chart is even worse. Socrates, Nietzsche, and Sartre (among others) are some of the most important philosophers ever, let alone intellectuals.

The point of this is to be subtle. The bottom row makes it obvious bait dummy

Why are these guys on the picture? They don't claim to be intellectuals. They're just for lulz.

You'd be surprised how many people form their opinions by parroting their favorite Youtube personalities as if they were people who knew what they are talking about

Fake chart.

First one is genuine but this one is legitimate intellectuals mixed in with pseuds.

what's so bad about vonnegut?
Joseph Foster
that fag with the bleached hair, worst idiot ive ever come across. ridiculous how someone like Tim Heidecker, who isn't even an "intellectual celebrity" is infinitely more essential to the human species than someone who makes their identity that of a "thinker of great ideas and politics"
Juan Peterson
I didnt notice him on there at first, but i think its just because he's "entry-level" according to Veeky Forums and generally doesnt fall into the threshold of super-ironic 800 pages of bullshit.
to me, he's like the Mickey Mouse of lit. you can grow out of being a fan but he will stay with you probably forever
Grayson Howard
for example, in my defense of Vonnegut, he drew an asterisk in his book. then claims its a drawing of an asshole. point proven
Liam Rivera
Why is lindybege or whatever is name is in this chart? His content has nothing to do with everyone else that's there.
Matthew Sanders
the same reason Ted Nugent isn't on there
Eli Robinson
He's not relevant though. It's fun to listen him speaking, but what has really come of his "work"? Nothing.
Christopher Baker
He is one of the most important linguists of the 20th century.
