Listen now | We've got a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation with author and political commentator Norman Finkelstein, covering everything from the 2020 Sanders campaign's strategy and messaging, the current state of American politics, political appeals to the working class, and more. Norm joins us to talk about "hyper-wokeness," both its manifestations in the 2020 presidential election and beyond. How do identity politics and class struggle interact, and how did we see that on debate stages and campaign trains? What role should identity politics play in political discourse at large? Norm has plenty of thoughts to share on these topics, and we hope you'll join us for the debate.
Hi Krystal or kyle, I don’t know if this episode was frustrating for you. It was for me I felt like he wasn’t answering your questions and also I don’t understand why he kept making a point to mention acting in good faith, I just felt like it was an unnecessary point to keep making. Also for how the beginning of the episode started with him addressing Krystal’s success it was just a strange direction to go in cause it felt like he wasn’t listening to what you both said.
I never leave comments on here. To be honest I just listen on Spotify because it's more convenient lol. I pay the $5/month to support, but it's more convenient to listen to the audio than to watch the video on here.
Anyway, yeah, I never comment, but this guy...yikes. I'm not in favor of censorship but boy oh boy was he yikes for me. Glad some people enjoyed him, good for them. Towards the back half it sorta spiraled into this "back in my day" thing and felt like an old man just venting his frustrations about the kids these days. Lol. Anyway, moving on from him, hoping the next guest has a more stable temperament.
Back to deleting comments… nice. So much for ignoring criticism. Anyhow, just thought your listeners should hear this perspective— banning books that are intended for children that involve inappropriate content IS NOT fascism. Similarly to how an R rating on a movie isn’t fascism. !
Buy his new book, it's great: https://www.sublationmedia.com/books/i'll-burn-that-bridge-when-i-get-to-it
This guy was amazing

Demolition Man's "utopia" is Kyle's definition of wokeness.

Norman is such a character!
Kyle out here supporting anti science like “LEt tHE kIdS tRaNsITiOn”
Request you to gift Norman a great home podcast-quality microphone.
