Greenwald and Katie Herzog lament that trans people have surpassed sis white gay men and lesbians on the "ladder of oppression." Glenn claims, "The minute you declare yourself nonbinary or trans, you catapult up the ladder of oppression that absolutely confers concrete benefits." pic.twitter.com/YOfiDhjEpL— Matthew Dimitri 🐍🧪 (@themattdimitri) March 21, 2021

sorry to bump this thread before greenwald dies, i did not particularly want to end up reading one of his newsletters and then gazing at the conspiracy theorists in the comments section in horror but that's what happened this morning. him and taibbi and their apparent best bros jesse singal and andrew sullivan are like this susbtack thinktank now and are consistently rewarded and prioritized by their platform and i would feel a pleasant degree of schadenfreude at all of them collectively showing their asses especially about anything remotely touching trans issues if it weren't accompanied by a profound sense of dread and rage that they've made money and courted an audience over it. just had to get that out
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 21 April 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
Sullivan in particular has become liberated from any semblance of common sense and general courtesy; he's gleeful about his awfulness.

Sullivan was always gleeful about his awfulness IIRC, he's basically been Bill Maher as columnist for most of his career

EXCLUSIVE: See comics industry reactions to Substack's controversial move to exclude the artists @CullyHamner https://t.co/XwMnLJ23LI— Inverse (@inversedotcom) June 24, 2021
Inverse is a site known for poisonous anti-Semitic and anti-LGBT content. That is especially true of the sources on whom it relies such as @CullyHamner. Please be advised: https://t.co/WjofI9XmCx— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 24, 2021
The culture of liberal journalism is so bizarre. They have made it so there are no evidentiary standards that have to be met before publishing serious accusations that someone is a racist, transphobe, misogynist, paid Russian agent, etc. You just puke it up when you feel like it.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 24, 2021
The Inverse tweet made it seem as if someone named Cully Hamner was the author of this article. Others made the same assumption. He wasn't. So the lies and bigotry driving this article shouldn't have been attributed to him but to its author. Apologies.https://t.co/q3PWvBplCM— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) June 24, 2021
(Cully Hamner is an artist who draws superhero and adventure comic books, and is interviewed in the piece about how Substack's comics program is headed by an alt-right dude who moved into writing superhero comics when he failed at local politics, and has designed the program such that the money and copyrights are kept by the writers.)

I find that when I click on a weird Twitter response to a political post to look at the person's feed (why do I do this? Some kind of mild self-harm instinct I guess) I surprisingly often find it's an anti-religion, anti-"critical race theory", anti-woke, Greenwald-loving account. This is a constellation of views I don't think I really understand, but it's out there.

this is the type of thing GG would say in earnest, if you've read his Twitter in the last 6 months. if that's sarcasm, well...then he's not good at it.
also lol at him thinking calling a reporter a "son of a bitch" is the same as calling them the "enemy of the people" , revoking press passes for reporters he didn't like, accusing Acosta of beating his intern, etc.
god I hate this prick and hope he drops dead of a stroke

yeah it's just really dumb sarcasm.
i did see that he's recently dropped his support of Lula in favor of an alternative candidate who's polling in single digits and will by most people's estimations act as a spoiler to help Bolsonaro, so that's pretty cool.
