yeah, i think holding up any single person for being good is stupid moralizing. we have because we like his takes on dead nazis, not because literally everything he did was good and based. marx himself had plenty of reactionary ideas, obviously we all tend to find his work useful and moving regardless.
Stalin wasn’t making videos about “gooning” in 2023, but yeah let’s go ahead and hold them to the same standard because historical context isn’t a thing.
Finkelstein has the time and energy to learn about and care about gooning enough to talk about it but doesn’t have the time and energy to learn about and care about trans rights, and y’all are defending him like he’s some liberation hero. Pretty fucked up
Didn’t Stalin have bad takes on it too?
Let’s throw out the bath water with the whatever.

Well, you’re obviously beyond reproach.
Almost like we contain multitudes. Except for you, natch.
I just wonder why you and others in this thread are SO PROUD to be defending a literal transphobe. Very strange stuff.
Stalin also led a war machine that buried millions of fascists. He’s allowed to have bad takes.
