    Norm is also against “woke politics”, although while JP has a repurposed Nazi conspiracy theory to explain why he doesn’t like wokeness, Finklestein’s problem with it is more that the Democratic Party has embraced it as a kind of religious dogma and pushed out elements of their old base with it, so it’s not really the same.

      If people don’t like wokeness because it is insufficiently woke I can’t find it in myself to dislike that.

        he’s pretty transphobic ngl, in one of his books he said

        transphobia

        “At its worst, the woke cult of transgenders is a cross between voyeurism and morbidity, a fascination with the sexually bizarre, a politically correct version of snuff pornography. It’s at the “intersectionality” of the lassitudinous culture of the Hamptons and the depraved sexual ennui of Hollywood.”
