defend the indefensible: glenn fucking greenwald

The local Republicans I follow on Twitter have all taken to quoting Greenwald a lot and calling him things like “one of the bravest reporters in the world.”

kind of a more belligerent and pretentious ted cruz

considering his own recent ordeal in Brazil, you'd think he'd be sympathetic to AOC's current plight, but ...nope

that's because he's a broken failure of a human being

yeah a situation where people were literally prowling the floor of capitol with guns and nooses trying to capture and murder leftists is like glenns wildest persecution fantasy come true, youd think it would be his time to shine

once again, what an asshole

This dude is and always has been the epitome of Self-Involved White Man

He’s basically Andrew Sullivan But Edgy

Andrew Sullivan, Butt Edging

silby no

sometimes I hit submit before I can reconsider

Probably time to just lock this thread since we already have the alt-right, brain worms, explaining conservatism, or a million other threads for Glenn's bullshit.

and the late Doctor is no longer here to mount the defense

Apple products are becoming increasingly niche

You call it a “niche”?

better than "crev-ass-e"

Tucker & Glenn's little j/o sessions are extra cool because when Bolsanaro starts wildin in his second term and locking up Brazilians for being too gay, Tucker's going to support it 100%

Greenwald with Carlson has the vibe of a desperate bullied nerd who is overly excited he finally found a jock that will give him the time of day.

Which one's the jock?

yeah carlson doesnt read as a jock at all to me, more like a richy scrub. There are enough fancy nerds and jockish dipshits to give him cover and a ride.

Tucker would have gotten swirlied by the lacrosse bros he desperately wanted to impress.

his Fox News reinvention feels so fuckin phony to me it’s hard to believe so many people — even Fox News watching dipshits — buy it. white nationalist little lord Fauntleroy ass

Though it’s true that perseverative asocial weirdo loser greenwald might mistake his bully categorizations. 😐

These categorizations make me the worst of the lot afaict, it’s gross.

man alive was describing Greenwald's behaviour, not Carlson's mien

Tucker isn't a jock, but he is to Greenwald.

But there's a whole group of them out there now who's whole ethos seems focused on an imaginary trip back in time to confront the bully that smashed them for 6 years straight in school so they can say "I'm based now lets hang out"

But there's another strata below them, led by Michael Tracey, that wants to go back in time to confront the bully that smashed them for 6 yeas straight in school so they can say "please piss on me and burn my hair more". In fairness the group led by Michael Tracey is unlikely to have any other members. They will all be in Glenns group

im a "michael tracey has the worst body odour" truther

does GG actally have a champion left on ilx?

(i feel that even morbs was mainly phoning it in in his later posts above (to rile fred)

(not denying that the latter was important work tbc)

I “don’t get” Michael Tracey. like I have no idea what his point is. feels like he’s just Tim Pool for people who can read.

I am having problems getting past the colloquial meaning of "smash" while reading anvil's post

Didn't Michael Tracey lie about being assaulted by Maxine Waters?

I’m totally baffled by how Tracey gained prominence. Has he written anything worthwhile or interesting, or done anything notable besides post dumb contrarian takes on Twitter?

He was a TYT reporter for awhile

He gained notoriety after he was badly beaten by Maxine Waters.

His possibly self written Wikipedia article said he made like two different documentaries about Jon Benet Ramsey. Surprised if his entry hasn’t been challenged on “Notability” criteria.

MT started at vice i think, so i suspect the racist edgelord stuff was there from the start, and not just a subsequently canny clout-turn

the maxine waters thing was almost too dumb to be described as lying: he did indeed claim he'd been assaulted and stuck to the claim when video become available (immediately) showing that she'd brushed past (making very slight contact) when he was making a dick of himself "just asking the questions"

(iirc he was sacked by vice for doxxing someone, possibly l3na dunh4m? it was back when they were trying to clean up their act and raise the respectability of their journalism)

he got traction back when the #resistance was somewhat overplaying its hand over the mueller report and making itself a lot too easy to mock

partly by mocking and partly by muddying the waters, but very largely by sucking up to falun glenn

lmao @ "falun glenn"

he predicted trump winning, attended lots of trump rallies and talked to the faithful, which was semi-interesting/eye-opening at the time, when MAGA was ichoate. he has been wrong about everything since and is a sniveling little shitheel.

apart from his brutal beating at the hands from an 80 year old woman my favourite tracey moment was him going to a garage sale(?) at kurt eichenwalds and tweeting pictures of the items for sale, much to kurt's chagrin. perfect crossover of the bad twitter personality universe

lmao, thanks. He and Aimee Terese just seemed like tulpas created from the bad vibes of left-ish Twitter.

i'm v much in the ACAB camp but there's a pretty funny video of him getting arrested by campus police for allegedly disrupting an Ann Colter appearance from many years ago and i've never been more ConflictedLarryDavid.gif

*v much in the ACAB *AND* Ann Colter should be mercilessly mocked in public at all times camp

he wanted her autograph!
