Between us who have read maybe 10,000 books on the topic, and you’ve read two Wikipedia entries, and you start talking about chapter six? Do you know what chapter seven is?
whomst the FUCK do i ping to add a tagline suggestion??
When he debated Richard Wolff, he would be looking up Wikipedia pages in the middle of it. Referring back to notes is fine but this motherfucker was literally forming his positions and seeking the evidence as he went along lol. Then he would just talk to his chat or spin around in his chair making noises while Wolff is talking, and he would interrupt Wolff to criticize him for explaining history and background first then making his argument lol
I mean the classic Michael brooks debate has him attempting to seize on singular data point that destiny thinks is being used incorrectly and brooks refuses to let him talk about because brooks used it correctly and destiny only cares about nit picking about using perfect examples to prove a point, while brooks only cares about the big picture (in that case that TPP and trade deals are made to benefit corporations first and not the countries who get pulled into them).
He’s such a stupid fucking need that he thinks he can know more about topics from people who spend their whole lives on that one topic after he spends an afternoon on Wikipedia.
Finkelstein is correct to wonder how this bozo can constantly be so supremely confident without a shred knowledge to actually back it up. Some kind of ultra version of dunning-kruger effect.
@CARCOSA@hexbear.net get pinged nerd
At one point Finkelstein says, “With all due respect, you’re such a fantastic moron. It’s terrifying.”
Critical support for Finkelstein in his quest to destroy all Zionists.
It feels like norm is being sicced on libs like an attack dog.
Al-Aqsa Flood and Israel’s genocide in response to it has legitimately jokerfied Finklestein. He’s an old guy so don’t expect him to put on makeup and go on an adventure but the way he talks about Israelis and the IDF now compared to how he did before are like two totally different people.
He used to be a maoist during the cultural revolution, he’s still got that dog in him
He must’ve seen how the west had strong “support” for Palestinians before 9/11, then it immediately switched to foaming genocidal fantasies afterwards, and now back to overwhelming support (mainly from the rest of the world)
Between his own family being killed in the holocaust and his old age, I imagine he wants to put Zionists in their place one final time, as jokerfied as possible, before he leaves the earth.
uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma–
mr bitchless, you are god’s greatest accident
In an AMA he did on 9 years ago.
Norm - I am an old-fashioned communist (with a lower-case “c”). I don’t think borders and States make sense. The world is a tiny place, the fundamental challenges confronting humankind - climate change, economic dysfunction-- can only be solved on a global scale. My heartstrings still resonate to, “The Internationale shall be the Human Race.”
