e=”font-weight: 400″>"I confess to being perplexed…". Oh ffs. This is straightforward whataboutery of the crudest kind. As Sam Leith notes:
Prof Butler pivots from the question asked to bring up the street harassment of trans people in Poland or Romania. This is an irrelevant false equivalence. Telling JK Rowling to choke on a dick doesn’t stop trans people being harassed in Romania; and finding the former objectionable doesn’t green light the latter.
So no, not enlightening. Though why anyone would expect anything different from Judith Butler is beyond me. Remember this?
Yes, understanding Hamas, Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the Left, that are part of a global Left, is extremely important.
Judith Butler….reliably wrong, on everything.
