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.
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.
