Norman Finkelstein on This is Revolution. Worth it just for his "Talcum X" gag at the start Long video but he's on good form lately.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
Also rather pathetic that YouTube seems to think it had to put a "helpful" blue warning on this video about the Hollocaust.
If you click on "Why am I seeing this?" you get:
"When you search or watch videos related to topics that are prone to misinformation, such as the moon landing, you may see an information panel at the top of your search results or under a video that you're watching."
Presumably just because Finkelstein is on the show. Utterly ridiculous....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
A quick observation, Norman has phenomenal memory, it seems, period.
I haven't read enough on Angela Davis for a long time, so, not familiar enough with her current status and the controversy. Need to investigate.
Interesting when he (Norm) opened up on details about his wider neighbourhood at 55:00 odd, in his youth, with Jews sharing space with Negroes (as he put it). Basically a class issue with 'bussing' as a background which he analysed quite expertly as a phenomenon of the time including the education/school structure + unions + property prices in NY.
I keep meaning to start on his bridges book, but can't find it in my 'cloud' .. rats.
A few issues here, first and foremost, when viewing genuine Left output on YouTube I always check the Subscriber figures and its disappointing, i.e., This is Revolution figures are 20K, whilst those pushing Gender Ideology, usually young, confused idiots have 500K plus subscribers, evidently fantasy lifestyle over genuine thought wins out.
Now, on to this edition itself, I really had to laugh about 15 mins in when one of those watching commented if Norm was a TERF? Think about it, how can Norm be a TERF given he's not female?
A lot of confusion out there but at least the progressive liberal 'woke' BS is being challenged, just a shame many under 30s are not exposing themselves to it. It seems being hip nowadays means being stupid - it certainly was not like that 25 years ago and that was still when the Tories were still in power - the major academic decline coincides with Blair's decision to financialise HE, its been downhill ever since, FE too has not escaped, which is a bigger shame.
