    I noted no paywall on YouTube for full, unexpigated episode. Archived Message

    Actually, both episodes were combined and released two years ago, i.e., its not new material, nor was it behind a paywall.

    That said, it was 'new' to me as never heard of True Anon and took a while to find on YouTube.

    On others issues, part one covers Finkelstein's high school years and move into Uni. he demolishes the myth that New York Jews were at the forefront of the civil rights movement, indeed, a few words were censored, this surprised me.

    This backstory to Finkelstein before he began his research into his latest book is useful, useful because, despite myths surrounding his own Community, that being a lower middle class one (in the UK he'd be working class by the way)based in New York, acknowledging the genuine racism towards African American's, such reality does not stop him going after the charlatans, hucksters and frauds dominating 'woke' progressive liberalism, just as he went after the same frauds within the community he grew up in. That takes some courage.

    I'll go further, its a great shame guests on Katie Helpers last episode featuring Finkelstein - Barbara Smith & Robin Kelly, did not catch this podcast.

    Anyhow, the full three hour YouTube episode is attached, together with a link to the Combahee River Collective, which was using intersectionality years before Kimberle Crenshaw came along and milked it for all it was worth:
