yet another professor completely misunderstands world outside of their own tiny sphere of academic research, not really surprising but kind of disappointing for finkelstein
Yeah, listening to this now and he's actually making the ivory tower argument in the other direction. He's talking about basically being one of the only people in left academia/media from a poor background(specifically calling out Amy Goodman for her and all of her siblings apparently going to harvard) I can see why Brace seems to relate to him a lot.
