Susan Sontag interview (1995) 

you are doing the God Service. Many Thanks Sir

Intelectual en las grietas de su país Las cuales son qualos

Sin subrayar

El ente a su espalda. Con verde paisaje. Pasamos al frente de Bosnia-Herzegovina.Sarajevo. Tiene un /Sarajevon/ mandón En dos frentitos.

That's what makes him a good interviewer. His use of counterpoint and opposing points allowed her to argue her side. And after all it's his show.

@@richardbutler4528 He can wait until she's finished with her point in order to do that. No need to interrupt.

Maybe on one or two occasions he talked over Susan, but in general I thought he conducted a good interview, especially in comparison to the standards of today.

@@ViktoriaLove93 No doubt but the time allotted for the interview was probably not enough for a full discourse, I think he was trying his best to allow her to get as many of her points across instead of only couple in detail. Still annoying though.

AND SO MUCH FUCKING MANSPLAINING.

too bad he couldn't keep his pants on

She is not worthy of admiration. She is one of the cohort of Marxists who colonized and took over academia during the mid-20th century. Going to Bosnia is equivalent to Jane Fonda's escapade in North Viet Nam. A typical Marxist narcissist. Repugnant.

U admire racist

The austrian painter should have tended to this demonic creature

You don't know shit about this situation if you believe a woman calling for air strikes on serbs is caring.

Susan Sontag was cancer. She didn't belong in the United States. She hated white culture.

Wow, color me suprised!! Tribetoob censors a lovely small-hat-ess' quote from the celebrated 'writer' featured in the above video! It's okay when *they* say it, but "come on g0iiss, you know *our* tal-m-u-d isn't a pack of well rehearsed lies aboutchya, it's twwuuee!" "Free speech for me, but not for thee!"

Uggggggh. Caring and compassionate have come to make me VOMIT! when I hear them coming from the now openly communist left. Take your “caring” and shove it. And I’ll be ready to fight you when you hit my nose.

Yes, you're right! She should be censored and blacklisted from academia and the world!

any good books exposing susan sontag,, i'm cause i read an indian author saying she said europeans are the scourge of history...

Choke

😂

Zero

you? yeah

huh????????? you're not making sense e

Sontag hates journalist's way of thinking

I never really was taken by this guy. Some of his interviews were SO very bad and never seemed to turn anyone off. Then, of course, some other "unpleasant" things that have come out. It's too bad but do the crime...and he got off lucky. I'm sure he's still has an audience somewhere no matter what

@@stephania4940 What sort of activist plans a trip to a war zone --- a seemingly highly-visible trip because she's doing an interview about it on national television --- without knowing what she wants to accomplish there. It would be like John Lennon and Yoko Ono holding a sleep in, and not knowing what their goal is. She's a pseudo-activist who really just wants to travel and observe for her own intellectual and cultural satisfaction. If she really wanted to help people why wouldn't she, say, work at a food relief center cooking? Or, she said she has no medical training ---- but she could volunteer providing non-skilled support at a medical treatment facility.

It's not some noble sacrifice she's making. I would have enjoyed going over to just observe, or work in a theater, as she did on her first trip. Give me a break.

C**ts are useful.

Yeah she is a Zionist Supremacist racist

slavery, suffering, death, and christianity

@@5103jerry Each nation is plagued with it’s own traumatic past which still affects the psyche of our modern world today. Humankind history itself is paradoxical in how we achieve peace, that in order to stop something like the axis of evil in Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. We’d have to slaughter millions of people and drop a nuclear bomb on regular civilians which included babies, children, animals, etc. I mention all this because fixating and defining legacy through the atrocities of nation is just as myopic as claiming it’s ideal and perfect with no containing flaws. We need to acknowledge and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly

That's why you can't take comments seriously.

Only the functionally illiterate or the college educated aliterate do this. Generally, these are People who have some belief or attitude about women who think and speak publicly, who do not appear in some conventional setting or role assigned to them. Sontag is not customary, she doesn’t fit the mold. Visually, she is tall and dark and dresses plain and modestly - at least in public! She has a private life, rather torrid with men by some accounts and devoted to her son. Sexual freedom is still something frowned upon in women. In My experience of her essays, biography, interviews, filmmaking and teaching - she is direct, which is interpreted as confrontational; unconvinced by weak or emotional arguments; not seeking favor or flirting; and put simply, displaying all the attributes that usually are admired in men but mocked, even punished in women. That’s just my opinion of course but like her ( I hope) I’m not afraid to say it. I happen to find that kind of straight no chaser attitude in girls and women charming exactly because it is unusual. And most interesting, because she is a woman - there’s no physical threat attached to her intellectual or ethical stubbornness. She’s not pulling a gun on you because you don’t agree with her. How nice is that😉

@@jeanettesdaughter Didn't she say white people were "cancer"?

Sontag died of cancer in 2004. She was the last person in the USA who could be called be a public or popular intellectual. Most people today have no idea of what "intellectual" means except to blast it negatively. These people have no time to read so they wouldn't read or know about Benjamin Moser's recent biography of her which just won the Pulitzer Prize. People watch, don't listen and write comments which are a clear indication of the dumbing down of American culture (if we could even call it culture anymore.)

@@AmandaFromWisconsin Did you read it context or just the quotation?

It's in hell with it's father

you have a typical leftist view. he didn't move all that quick, he just moved in self destructive directions. selling your resources to chicoms? silly billy and his sycophants are pathetic.

ROFL, Clinton was the 3rd worst president in history behind Carter and poopy pant Biden..

I love her hair too

It’s an artist’s response to the situation. I don’t see how it’s destructive compared to its positive effect as protest against the UNs inaction in Bosnia.

One was indifferent killing and the other was to stop indifferent killing. If you can't tell the difference, then you should stick to simpler topics.

Avocado Pirate like the time america stopped the indifferent killing in pakistan? libya? iraq?...ect??? how many bombs were dropped on civilians to end indifferent killing there? you americans are really something

@@nouraalmuhanna8042 You're right though, bombs don't work at all. This one time for one tall guy who was hiding, they had to send in the middle fo the night an helicopter crew of men and women to take him out.

@@nouraalmuhanna8042 Peace corps shouldn't be the same. I'm pretty sure she was standing for peace

One was an ongoing and documented genocide and the other was a pointless and nearly endless proxy war.

In what way?

She seems masculine to me she seems less emotional then the average women

@@gangstagamegangstagame4467 u have a very biased view abt an avg woman

about as feminine as Richard Simmons.

@NeckBeardLegion_IV:XX stupid!!

Kek

agreed
