I would like to host a Haitian slave-French colonists debate, and do it well: 3-5+ hours, in-person, with empathy, rigor, and respect. Please suggest people who could represent each side. Reply below and/or vote in this form:

You joke but I've literally seen people point to Haiti today and say the Haitians had it better under the French.

You could have great historians and social scientists talking about these issues but instead let's get random ass YouTubers like Ben Shapiro and fucking Destiny lmao.

Fuck me, I wish I was a talentless cis white guy so I could be handed platforms on issues I have no expertise on without earning it.

[-] Posadas@hexbear.net 49 points 9 months ago

Granted these are the most qualified pro isreal debaters

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 45 points 9 months ago

It shows the hand so well that the obvious choices to defend Palestine are noted academics and historians, and the choice to defend isntrael are rabid propagandists and media freaks.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

If I was being generous I'd say this guy is trying to stack the deck in favor of Palestine (an easy thing to do honestly), but realistically it's just for views.

[-] regul@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago

great historians and social scientists

not on the side of Israel you couldn't

Even Einstein called their fascist asses out when the whole idea of Israel was being debated on back in the day.

Eh. They could have gotten Benny Morris

Douglas Murray is a literal fascist and an openly anti-Muslim racist. He likes to pitch himself as a historian but most of his books are bunk made up of Reddit-tier race IQ and crime statistics garbage.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

Isn't murray the bell curve guy?

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

He is, but we in the ukkk have our own vile Douglas Murray and I assume it's him because he's used Israel's genocide of Palestine to worm his way into the mainstream media, online discourse, and giving advise to our genocide-supporting governments. He's also been touring Israel doing press events and producing Israeli propaganda since it began.

If you need to vomit, the opening paragraphs of this Times of Israel piece, published Dec 23rd about his presence at an event in Tel Aviv, should more than do it.

We need to reduce the number of murrays by at least two. Possibly more.

I know a guy who thinks Lex Friedman and other podcasters in his orbit are geniuses lol.

Also, why is Destiny treated as some legitimate figurehead in politics and history? He couldn’t even handle Richard Wolff explaining context without interrupting him to talk to his chat or spin around in his chair and groan loudly like a child

[-] oktherebuddy@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

lol that debate was a total son moment for him

[-] m5rki5n@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 9 months ago

Destiny couldn't even handle the fact that reaction content is stealing, what the hell is he doing on the list?

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 42 points 9 months ago

Friedman can debate my brick to his face. Let's turn a genocide into a debate because, you know, it's all just entertainment when you're safe inside the belly of the beast.

[-] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 41 points 9 months ago

tbh I didn't realize Mohammed Hijab was a real person and thought he was just making up a racist fake-Muslim name

I once knew a guy called Farouz Farouz Farouzmand

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

That's sick haha, it sounds like a war cry

[-] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago

Btw Friedman literally had Netanyahu himself on the show a few months ago

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago

Everyone's duty is to vote for Destiny from as many VPNs as they can.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago

There is no such possibility with the isntrael side. They are fanatical fascists who don't even care about thier own despite thier every sperm is sacred decreees.

i want to see norm finkelstein rip destiny's head off of his neck with his bare hands

Creating a marketable media event by putting a bunch of gossips and scolds in a room together to yell at each other over an ongoing act of genocide to generate clicks for my blahg

Is this guy the new Joe Rogan? I hear about him as much as I did with Rogan back in the day and his videos get more views than Rogan's have been lately.

[-] oktherebuddy@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

he's kinda like rogan but targets the techbro set

Lex bring a smither of critical thinking into a podcast or issue challenge (impossible).

I've heard some of his episodes because it is interesting to see what some of his famous guests will say when given an hour to speak or more. But at the end of the day that's what his show is, nothing more (which is why, I believe, all these people agree to appear on an episode with him on the first place).

Zuck will literally say that you can't build facebook without caring about helping people connect and Lex will let that pass without the tiniest argument, lol, lmao even.

Such a shame about Michael Parenti. If the world was just he'd still be well enough to carry on dunking.
