Interesting that Naomi Wolf did as well. She was a Clinton/Gore advisor, and I don’t think Greenwald was ever a fan of Clinton or Gore.

Greenwald's devolution into a crackpot conspiracy kook does a lot of damage to the anti-surveillance movement. For all this talk of Facebook being mean to Trump, the agencies tasked with maintaining national security are still working around the clock to ensure that every search, every web transaction, every email, and every date and time associated with it are logged in a giant database for them to use. Apparently we've forgotten about this, and one of the most vocal critics of the surveillance state acting like a clown doesn't help.

Trump's election was the biggest boon the establishment could possibly have asked for. He made them look good by being far worse. He discredited anti-establishment ideals by associating with them. (Not that he followed-through very much.) And some of the establishment's fiercest critics have discredited themselves by buying into his cult to greater or lesser degrees.

Sooo, anti-establishment radical Glenn Greenwald is claiming there's a whole host of establishment operatives (I won't say 'secret' because obviously we are all expected to easily know all about them) who spend all their time shutting down people like him from telling us anything about people like them. And he's telling us this... via his Twitter account. The same Twitter where he's hawking his book defending a billionare landlord, published via an indy publishing house, doubtless because evil Big Tech is making sure you can't get it by... letting you buy it from Amazon.

(I guess it's like one of those old Nigeran scam emails, where he wants to filter out anyone with enough critical thinking skills to question his contradictions.)

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say that “the establishment” wanted Trump to win in 2016.

Outside of the liberal sphere, Glenn is getting #cancelled for making EBay’s stolen analytics technology so much better instead of releasing all the data like Snowden wanted and not like the 10% given.

Here's a Moderate Hero compromise proposal:

Twitter bans Bolsonaro and also bans Greenwald's account for balance.

Hair Bolsonaro's Twitter isn't all that bad, it's mostly bureaucratic stuff that's pretty much what you'd expect from any relatively serious government account, with the occasional post memeing Alberto Fernández's stupid comments, or congratulating Netanyahu for being a cool dude

As has become standard, Glenn is full of the special breed of BS that serves right-wing talking points.

He's now apparently pivoted full on to supporting the red-brown-islamist anti-liberal alliance.

Greenwald has been an apologist for islamic extremism for a long time now. One of his first big publicity stunts after Snowden that I can recall was him smearing everyone as a white supremacist for criticizing ISIS.

Glenn is very much a victim of his own personal, extremely online neuroses. Twitter has truly rotted his mind and it’s sad to see his talent wasted on truly diabolical takes.

Anybody who's a civil libertarian should appreciate what Greenwald does. That the left does not anymore is an indication of who they've become, not him.

Because nothing says “civil libertarian” like running defense for the administration that ordered the FBI to deliberately crackdown harder on BLM compared to others and were making antifa protestors disappear in black vans

Why should civil libertarians appreciate going on Tucker Carlson or campaigning against Trump's impeachments?

Well right now he's changing the narrative from "Biden is responsible for everything" to "the military industrial complex deserves the blame" on the biggest cable news channel and thereby building opposition to going back on the right.

Convincing even a fraction of Republicans to end their cult of adoration around crooked generals and military contractors would do more good for the world than a million hours of telling MSNBC viewers what they want to hear.
