This thread is one of the saddest things ever:
Do you guys want to see the most sad, petty & online man on this awful website? Yesterday @CharlesPPierce rt'ed the great (& prescient) parody account, @GlemGreenwald. So fast forward to this morning, when "someone", out of the blue, creates a Charlies Pierce parody account pic.twitter.com/rGVniiaYTn— Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) November 24, 2018

This is, I think it's safe to say, a new low
Glenn Greenwald went on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show last night to run interference for Trump-loving kids who harassed a Native American elder pic.twitter.com/i7W1ersK3O— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 22, 2019

I have not followed this or other viral distractions, but
Twitter's design empowers those who lie to smear others, because only accusations, not proof, are required. It's very tiring to point it out, but you can't allow people with big platforms to do it. Just compare what Matt Bors claimed I said on Fox last night to what I really said pic.twitter.com/MuaaIDu9oK— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 22, 2019

any "leftist" who spends their time going on Tucker or Ingraham and thinking they're getting points on the board -- or really doing anything other than legitimizing these platforms while yelling into the void-- is either an idiot or a fucking asshole.
real tired of this guy's shtick.

Also, the full video is quite clear about what happens. The indigenous man walked into the shout-down between the kids and the Black Israelites, then the kids mock him.

'In this case the media was incredibly reckless' - Greenwald to Ingraham.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
Oh, but he is criticizing 'both sides'! He is both saying that liberal media is bad, and that fascist rhetoric is bad, so y'know, he is just finding the sensible middle ground.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link
I think it's pretty hard to claim that greenwald is a leftist of any sort at this point
― iatee, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 15:47 (five years ago) link
idk i think it's safe to say he's still an anti-imperialist? or at least a west-skeptic / US-critic which is for sure a leftist position even it's often incoherent.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 15:48 (five years ago) link
Just an anti-imperialist spending his USA wealth to presumably live in a guarded compound in Brazil

at this point his knee jerk desire to defend the trump admin seems to outweigh the knee jerk desire to criticize the US govt. the closest thing to a coherent political view he has is 'pwn the libs', which maybe just makes him a republican by its current definition.

Is Morbz’ favorite libertarian Fox commentator a leftist?
― by the light of the burning Citroën, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 15:53 (five years ago) link
He is not an anti-imperialist, he would have a much tougher stance on Russia if that was the case. And I don't think being west-skeptic / US-critic is necessarily a leftist stance at this point, the whole point of Trumps campaign was that the west has lost it's way.

butler called hezbollah part of the international left even tho they're a radical religious organization. not that butler is the key to what is or isn't leftist but there's is def a place on the left for groups that hold reactionary beliefs but bc they oppose the evil empire are allies of convenience.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 16:00 (five years ago) link
Butler was wrong, and even then Hezbollah at least claimed to fight against social injustice to be considered a part of the left. Greenwald is just droning on and on about the media and liberals.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
gg believes that neoliberal neoconservative elites in the US are being challenged by Trumpism and that they're the greatest threat to liberty and life on the planet. he is not totally devoid of facts for arguing that POV even if i think ultimately he's deluding himself and inconsistent etc. i don't think he's obviously not on the left. like many on the left he has chosen who the ultimate enemy is and he's willing to make strange bedfellows to combat them.

Reading this then seeing the article he’s commenting on is pretty funny
The US is one of the planet's most oppressive penal states. It imprisons more of its citizens than any other: for longer sentences, for less serious crimes, and without convictions. It's grotesquely unequal by race & class. It shouldn't take this dubious raid to realize that. https://t.co/qWs5DOcaA8— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 31, 2019
