I mean people are totally fine with Norman Finkelstein even though he's a raging transphobe so most Hexbears probably won't care about this either, unfortunately.

I did not know this about Finkelstein

I really dislike Finkelstein for this reason. Such a powerful advocate for his entire life against a genocide in Palestine as well as holding transphobic views? Just baffling.

People react irrationally at times to certain groups or things, and that’s just a weird quirk of being human. I hate AI for example, and I know it’s not 100% rational. I probably ascribe certain aspects to AI that may not be true.

Big difference between having not logical feelings towards technology versus human beings. I don't think those are comparable. Finkelstein's works on Palestine can be highly valued while saying that the man lacks understanding and empathy for aspects of people not related to their ethnicity/nation of birth.

Your feelings on AI might be wrong (though I don't know that it's so), but them being associated with non-humans changes the quality entirely

Oh, and I also hate Jews more, especially since their leaders insist on tying Zionism to their Jewishness, and the people aren’t really fighting back. Well, let them be lumped in with the zionists, and suffer accordingly.

Fuck off with that. We Don't want this fuckin racism mixed into our principled anti-zionism.
