You’re a 47 year old trained media professional who two days ago was openly beefing with a 20 year old on Twitter by hyperfixating on his header photo

he’s wrong about trans issues, hes wrong about black issues, he’s wrong about “from the river to the sea”, hes wrong about BDS, he’s right about jewish supremacy and the holocaust industry, he blames “woke academics” and cancel culture for his blackballing rather than zionism, and shouldn’t be treated as an idol where his many failures are hand waved rather than discussed. why he might come to the conclusions he expressed in the clip? why might someone who’s made cogent arguments his whole life engage in “cognitive dissonance”

Holy shit. Now I’m curious how I fucked up to have the image of the man in my head that I do. I actually knew about some of these (certainly not the two you linked) and somehow it escaped my thinking. You’re absolutely right. Just because he doesn’t fall for one of the intellectual traps Zionists promote, he isn’t justified/justifiable in falling for a myriad others, nor is the bigotry he ends up supporting excusable.
yeah i’ve read most of his work and it’s really solid when he stays in his lane. unfortunately he’s been lionized a bit post 10/7 for saying the right things on interviews
