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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
He is, but we in the
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
Destiny couldn't even handle the fact that reaction content is stealing, what the hell is he doing on the list?
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.
J.K. Rowling reveals first Muslim foreign exchange student at Hogwarts, Mohammed Hijab Jihad
Btw Friedman literally had Netanyahu himself on the show a few months ago
There is no such possibility with the
side. They are fanatical fascists who don't even care about thier own despite thier every sperm is sacred decreees.Everyone's duty is to vote for Destiny from as many VPNs as they can.
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.
Such a shame about Michael Parenti. If the world was just he'd still be well enough to carry on dunking.
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.
