jesus christ the arrogance of this man. what the fuck possessed him to get on this stage with people who wrote the books that his Wikipedia research is summarizing. this man couldn't find israel on a map until a couple of days ago and thought Erdogan is the president of israel. and Norm just calls him on it over and over while continuously mispronouncing his name.

my favorite quote: "if Israel nuked Gaza and killed all 2 million people living there, I'm not sure it would count as genocide."

bonus: Hasan's coverage was so brutal that he rage quit his own stream 2 days in a row. he knows he got owned.

Some people have a voice made for radio. Finkelstein has a voice made for stridently owning people.

God what a naked attempt to minimize the body of work of a guy like Finkelstein while trying to elevate the completely empty cavity that is Destiny's skull. Lex Freedmen is just Joe Rogan in a suit.

By putting these guys in the same room he's drawing equivalences that don't exist.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 6 months ago

it backfired with anyone who actually watched it. twitter is flooded with clips of him owning himself and Finkelstein owning him. he did so poorly that he made Benny Morris somehow look more insane than he already obviously is. and he himself is trying desperately to keep his audience from actually watching it while malding about it publicly. literally if he'd just sat there and said absolutely nothing the entire time, he'd have done a much better job of letting Fridman launder the false equivalence between himself and these academics. but obviously he can't shut the fuck up so here we are.

Christ almighty I hope people’s takeaway is about the astonishing level of knowledge and poise on the pro-Palestine side rather than “hehe funnyman norm didn’t know this irrelevant streamer’s name”

Also it’s so obvious destiny prepped with Dronerbox, a goddamn two person human ouroboros of shit. All the “intl law is meaningless” and “realistically…” is straight of their playbook

I feel sad that I know exactly who you’re referring tob

[-] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago

Lex Friedman’s audience are the most credulous goons imaginable, totally ignoring Mouni’s arguments because he’s the most straightforward and even-keeled, nothing but tone

[-] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago

Also I’m sorry to keep spamming this thread, but Benny totally dodged the Cecil Rhodes point. Just absolutely ignored any comparison between colonialisms

never stop posting

For me, it's just the cherry on top. It was good to listen to someone as well educated in the topic as Norm.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago

the first bit about history was incredibly impressive. but then the trashman derailed the whole thing.

Maybe we should all start to refer to Destiny as "Mr.Borelli" from now on.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago

FD Signifier called him "Nebraska Steve" and that's how I've referred to the little chode since

Mr. Bonnell? Ah, you're talking about Mr. Morelli. It would be perfectly fine to call Mr. Farelli, Mr. Berelli.

Anyway, fuck Mr. Barelli.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I'm partial to Mr Bonerelli, personally

Mr Gusano Borelli

[-] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

So far the peak moment for me was when mr morelli was like "why would the israelis ethnically cleanse Palestinians in 1948, wouldn't that have cost them legitimacy with western powers?" and Norm is just holding his head in his hands while his debate partner calmly explains that western powers were endlessly comfortable with the displacement dark skinned people

There was a moment in the Hasan stream where a chatter came in saying Destiny had studied for thousands of hours for this debate and that Hasan should address his points directly instead of making fun of him. Hasan laughed hysterically for like a minute straight.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

In which streams did Hasan cover the debate? I can’t stand listening to Mr. Borrell for more than two minutes without some distraction.

Bit idea: Mister Morelli And The Big Steppers (2021)

[-] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Why? Its like that time graeber wrote a critisism of pinker and everybody was thinking "you are hitting down at unworthy foes" but more so.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Destiny deserves any humbling he receives

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Norm was there to go at it with Benny Morris. Mr. Bonerelli inserted himself into that repeatedly so Norm started telling him to shut up and sit down you sniveling worm.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
