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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sadly, this sort of shit is exactly what people like this want. He wanted to "win" the debate, obviously, but more importantly, he wanted attention. and his audience will laugh and clap at his "Finklesmell" pre-school level insults and ignore how hideously ignorant he was being.
His ideas were treated with equal time and equal respect to Finkelstein's. That is what fascists want, normalisation of their ideas. To his target audience, Destiny is saying "it doesn't matter how much of a failchild you are, if you support my ideas, you get to be the stupidest, worst version of yourself and be applauded for it."
I've seen this time and time again when a fascist "debates" someone who actually knows what they are talking about. They get "owned" but their audience insists they actually "won" the debate because they did, they got the attention they crave, their ideas were spread to a much larger audience, their hate and vitriol was normalised.
This is probably the only time Destiny's fans will have got to listen to Mr Finkelstein speak. Destiny platformed Finkelstein, not the other way around.
I think you give them too much credit. Most likely they just listened to a "highlight reel" of Destiny's best "owns" and didn't actually listen to anything Finkelstein said.
Doesn't gotta reach everybody, somebody will have been interested enough to wonder what Mr. Bowleranni was responding to and got Finkelstein's comments.
