some parts of the epstein leaks have been disturbing but it's kinda goated that it's also showing that some of the coolest public figures are epstein opps
Did they really think they could get Norm Finkelstein into a pedo situation? Finkelstein is one of the most focused people on earth. He's a true academic. He's not horny, I fact I don't think he's ever been married or had a partner. If he has it has never come up. All he cares about is researching genocide. I wouldn't really be surprised if he's completely asexual.
One of the most powerful minds on earth too.
Seems like Chomsky and Stephan Hawking were compromised so anybody can be compromised
there's a lot of REAL ugly stuff in the Epstein files on fbi dot gov (some of them have been removed) and I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion here
somebody has to post it first, why not you
Yeah but chomsky is narcissistic opportunist and Hawking was a horny adulterer. I'm not aware of Finkelstein having similar moral failures.
kind of a transphobe is the only issue i've seen
I can read it in Normβs voice, even
you can just hear the cadence of "if Epstein put your daughter at age 15"
he's missing a comma there to indicate his pauses
Finkelstein eternally vindicated
Fuckin gottem
Finkelstein is nothing if not principled.
people throw around the term "big dick energy" but our man finkelstein deffo has it in spades
Finkelstein total beatdown of pedo Dershowitz
Incredible
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Never missing a chance to fire a (justified) shot at Deshowitz.
Imagine the absolute aura farming menace this guy would have been if he let go of his TERF thoughts.
that squirrel is still posting bangers, I recognize them from when I radicalized like 7 years ago and used twitter briefly
People in here complaining that the bar is so low we're all celebrating something basic but that isn't it; most people happy here probably can't put their finger on exactly why they like this so much, but it's because Norm didn't reply in that pathetic lib politeness and civility way and instead said Trivers should choke them both to death. He started off with an answer from empathy and ended with saying that a decent man would kill them.
It's the reason we remember Anthony Bourdain saying that anyone seeing what had been done to Cambodia would never want to stop beating Kissinger to death with their bare hands.
It's the compassion for your fellow human being and the desire to bring brutal justice to inhuman monsters. We all get that every time we say Nazis should get the wall or the pit.
Well said. I have learned to limit my exposure to details of this case because the rage I feel is overwhelming and detrimental to my wellbeing.

It's why I love the song "Dead Men Don'tremoved" even though I'm a man. If you don't feel a visceral rage towards these people, you don't really get it.
I'm seeing "Dead Men Don't removed", I'm assuming you're talking the Delilah Bon song?
Ja
The bar is seriously so low that men get applauded for checks notes not wanting to be invited to the pedo parties of the convicted child trafficker.
Apparently that's a super rare trait
At least among men who are tenured professors at Ivy League colleges.
That said, i just came across the mail that Trivers wrote to Epstein about trans people and it's so full of gross, dehumanizing chaser shit that i need to rinse my brain with bleach now.
You can't take the misogynisticremoved culture out of the capitalism, so the bar is currently in hell.
Still a low bar but he isn't being applauded for avoiding the pedo parties. If he'd just said "no thanks" no one would be cheering for the guy. It's the expression of rage and desire to use force that's getting him cheered for. And yeah that is still a pathetically low bar, because any decent human being should at least feel a violent impulse in response to that invitation. But the fact remains that the response isn't about simply saying no.
I assume Epstein must have wanted to get dirt on Finkelstein to blackmail him. Not sure why else he would want to see such a vocal critic of Israel.
I read this as volcel critic of Israel and it still tracks.
it was part of his overall M.O. to associate or at least try to make contact with as many prominent figures as possible regardless of political affiliation or discipline. at least that is my takeaway from the sheer scope of names implicated
I read it in his voice lol

When I'm feeling down, I'll just head cannon these two fine old men as my grandpas
