Lex Fridman hosts a debate between Norman Finkelstein, Steven.... uhhh... Bonnell (Destiny), Mouin Rabbani, and Benny Morris. SUBSCRIBE and SUPPORT each of ...
One of the best parts of that interview was professor finkelstein starting the interview off by confirming Destiny’s name with him, specifically so that he can proceed to never actually use it. Absolutely intentional.
The difference of respect afforded to a fellow academic that he [strongly] disagrees with and random politics streamer is pretty obvious.
Destiny got precisely the amount of respect he deserves in that debate. The sheer fucking arrogance of even showing up to that debate though, I love how the guy who was supposed to be in his corner just couldn’t help laughing at him.
Being given a seat at that table was far more respect than he deserved, all 3 of the other participants were on another league.
I don’t particularly like Morris or basically ever agree with him, but you can at least say he is a well-read academic that could at least try to make some arguments. Destiny was just furiously searching wikipedia.
