Felix not gaming on episodes like these makes him a puss

%100 correct. These people are of no use to an actual movement for Justice. Never will be. The fix is in against the Left in the West and it's time for people to wake the fuck up.

Angela Davis is definitely a big disappointment, but the rest are well known groveling shitbags..

Good show chaps, just a shame you guys did not interact with Finkelstein more - on other podcasts and YouTube channels, many of them focuses on Black African American issues, Finkelsteins been challenged on stances in the book and has come back smelling of roses. He don't like frauds and remains one of us, what more could we want.

Woke culture has lost its utility.  Bernie is now an empty vessel.

i love Finkelstein but does he know the first thing about nuclear security?

FInkelstein:  I don't watch the web much.

USSR literally started the war with Germany lol

We get a taste of the old Trump magic through his beautiful eulogy for one of his most loyal supporters, the wonderful Diamond. Then, we check in with America’s police forces through a(nother) unhinged new Sheriffs movement, and a cop who claims to to be able to discern 911 callers’ guilt through the tone of their voices. Finally, it’s time for a little Game of Thrones theory.
