    His interview on Pod Damn America was really frustrating and incoherent. Credit to Anders for pushing back on Norm’s bullshit.

      Finklestein is a former professor who became pretty popular on the left after he got black balled for his criticisms of Israel. Bit of a firebrand, so his speeches became popular. Honestly, this isn’t super surprising, he’s always been a bit of an asshole and prided himself on “not being PC”

    This is like being surprised :zizek-ok: doesn’t have shit, reactionary opinions, too. These people aren’t Marxists just because they get one or two subjects right- Norm still ends up at the same parties of the Martha’s Vineyard intelligentsia as Dershowitz no matter how many on stage tiffs they have over Israel

    Change is inevitable and fundamental to existence. One cannot hold on to the past where dudes were dudes and dames were dames. To do so stifles life to a point were the needle comes to a screeching halt. The rhythm and dance that is existence cannot be constrained by those unwilling to enter the cosmic discotheque as they picket against the unavoidable harmony and beauty of impermanence.

    I hope Norm looks within himself and begins to open the fathomless space in his heart that he needlessly closes off. So many years of playing a victim one ends up the victimizer.

      Dude’s just doing ChatGPT hallucinations of ad copy from the 1980s.

      This is a past that isn’t even past. Its a never-was.

    I’m glad the issue of ethnic cleansing and apartheid is solved so Norm can spend his goddamn retirement age years on this fucking shit.

    Yeah, norms brain is literally melting out of his skull from old age. Letting him share his thoughts publicly is basically irresponsible at this point.

    Fuck you norm. You’re not my comrade. Jesus fucking christ this is so easy, so low and slow across the plate. You’ve had fifty fucking years to pick up a godamn book and learn the most basic aspect of feminism and gender theory, so fuck you.
