Norman Finkelstein

One of the most intelligent political critics in the USA. Due to his outspoken style and controversial opinions he has been ostracized in political discussion as well as in his profession. Despite being a Jew, he has been labelled as an anti-semite by many for his criticism of Israel.

Norman Finkelstein's assertion of the existence of a Holocaust Industry has caused a great amount of controversy.

finette

Noun-
A beautiful, charming and God fearing girl with a good heart. She is kind and caring and is the best friend anyone in the world could hope for. She's a good motivator and always sees the best in everyone around her. She's a really rare jewel. If you ever meet a Finette and are lucky to have her as a friend be sure to never let her go.

"Hey, look at that charming girl over there, it's no wonder her name is Finette."

Finkelthink

The modern school of political strategy which holds that, despite conventional belief to the contrary, very few elections are won by convincing supporters of other parties or candidates to support your candidate instead. Finkelthink doctrine holds that - in the modern world - voters' minds are already made up by the time an election begins. The trick instead is /to discourage supporters of your opponent from voting at all/.

To do this, a candidate must run a highly personalized negative campaign against the opponent: don’t demonize the party, demonize the candidate. People can be made to hate individuals more easily than institutions (and also with far more animus).

Facts matter little in the Finkelthink model. If some perceptual flaw on an opponent's part can be readily identified, then it can also be magnified by suggestion to catastrophic proportions. Even a 'bad' candidate may win a race handily if - once the unthinking masses have been finkeled with -- his opponent appears prohibitively worse by comparison.

Core principles of Finkelthink:

(1) 80% of the public doesn’t care about the news
(2) Perception, not content, is what matters most to mid-wit viewers
(3) The right 30-second soundbite can manipulate millions to your side (that is, away from the side of your opponent)

Carried out to a sufficient level, Finkelthink and its analogues can transform an apparent buffoon into the next Leader of the Free World.

"Once the Trump campaign was able to convincingly associate Hillary and her staff with corruption, Finkelthink took care of the rest."

Mr Finkelstein

A shitty teacher that taught 5th grade science at davis elementary known best for his slanted nose, crackled voice, spit flying everywhere when he talked, and jerking off in class. He would also put all the big chest girls close to his desk

Is that Mr Finkelstein better stay away
