The contentless fast talker vs the excessive factual slow talker

That would be great to watch

Finkelstein referencing page numbers in citations of citations vs expert-shapiro

It's like an inverse of the Zizek/Peterson one

Nightmare scenario: they talk about trans people and start agreeing for the whole debate.

hot take: this would be awful

Shapiro would go "umm well actuallytheoretically Palestiniansaren'tarealpeople they're just Arabs and Israel has beenthereforoverthousandsofyearsandtheydeserve the land"

and Finkelstein would reply "you know, 35 years ago my mother... my late mother... told me that she hated Germans".

The interview with Andrew Neil is pretty funny, you should at least watch the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VixqvOcK8E

Lord knows I have thankfully not watched many Ben Shapiro videos, but this one is by far my favorite.

He makes himself look like such an uninformed child not knowing who he is even speaking with and how he tries to look tough by glaring at Neil from under the shadow of his brow while he tries to flex his Logic is such cringy teen shit. I wonder if Ben remembers this from time to time and gets embarrassed.

I don't think Shapiro has any remorse at all. His hog followers live in a different reality and saw that interview as a success. They see it as Shapiro bravely defending western society against some biased British leftist.

Huh Shapiro calls himself an Orthodox Jew at 11:35 in this interview but I was under the impression they were anti-zionism whereas I get the impression he's not that. Are there two different groups claiming Orthodox?

Also I have to say Andrew Neil is a big fucking shitbag but he's a bloody fucking good interviewer when he put on appearances of being less biased at the BBC. He's shit now that he's not there.

Orthodox isn't just one thing, there are a lot of different sects. one sect are the guys who hate Israel because they don't believe Israel can exist until the Messiah comes or whatever. another sect are the terrorist settlers.

It’s possible he means orthodox as a fancy term for conservative

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about judaism but he's also very very loud about abortion even though I was under the impression judaism does not forbid it? He talks about "judeo-christian" values an awful lot because he knows his target audience.

If he has produced a body of scholarship

Norm is setting himself up for a massive disappointment and I want to see the look on his face when he realizes it.

"if he has a podcast, I haven't watched it"
