Another way to look at it is he's taking advantage of the way the system is set up. Exploiting it while trying to change it from the inside.
If he says nothing, he's scum and a part of the machine.
If he speaks out, he's a hypocrite.

Chomsky?
Chomsky has taught at MIT for more than 50 years.
Cost of attendance of MIT?
Nine months' tuition and fees for 2012–2013 is $42,050. Additionally, undergraduate room and board is approximately $12,188, depending on the student's housing and dining arrangements. Books and personal expenses are about $2,772.
Total Cost for 4 years at MIT: $228,040.
So, Chomsky has worked at an institution for more than half/century even though they have contributed to the very problem he is preaching about?
That's priceless.
Any my favorite hypocrisy of Chomsky.
He worked for the Department of Defense for almost 20 years, earning millions of dollars from the US Military-- the very same US Military he rants about.
He's a douche.
