It's loving weird how much you're defending the guy.

Jose posted:someone should get their white house press pass pulled then Since when has the US government given a poo poo about white supremacism? That still doesn't stop Glenn being a loving brain spidered dingus, unable to see anything organic in BLM because he's myopically obsessed with "journalism".

Another reason the Daily Caller is a nazi website is that they just ran an interview with Glenn Greenwald, a Strasserite Nazi.

I mean I can totally believe that Greenwald has gone far enough off the deep end that he's fash now, but he does at least have past of standing up to Bolsonaro so I'd like to see some evidence of that, preferably not in the form of a video clip. Your argument at this point is that he's fash because he has joined a fash show, and the show is fash because he's joined it.

Sorry, I meant more about Greenwald turning fash rather than the show being such. It's like when he started regularly appearing on Fox instead of blanking them, because he believed he could somehow counteract their propaganda. It's weird and dumb, but not proof in itself that he's now fash.

Darth Walrus posted:He's not exactly working to counteract the Caller's propaganda, though. That's their tweet though, like the whole reason it's a dumb idea is because obviously they will just chop up anything he says and edit it to support more of their propaganda, now with a thin veneer of 'balance'. The outcome is pretty much the same, and Greenwald sucks so I don't really care enough to do my own digging into everything he's said recently. But I still think we should differentiate between "marketplace of ideas" idiots who play the game thinking they can win, and the actual fash like Bannon, Breitbart who are actively pushing the fash side and would continue to do so if they were in a vacuum.

You could click through and read the article. It contains gems like this: quote:“I think the vision is, you know, you have this kind of right wing populism, which really is socialism, that says we should close our borders, not allow unconstrained immigration, and then take better care of our own working class people, and not allow this kind of transnational, global, corporatist elite to take everything for themselves under the guise of neoliberalism,” Greenwald said. Socialism, famous for being all about keeping the filthy immigrants out.

Who cares? it’s because if someone posted a video of Tucker no-one would care but ~for some reason~ any time someone mentions Glenn the thread fills up with posts defending him with the world’s most obvious ad hominems

Jippa posted:Some guy in falmouth saw a "superior mirage". Can someone smarter than me help me understand the article's explanation: quote:Because cold air is denser than warm air, it has a higher refractive index. In the case of the “hovering ship”, this means light rays coming from the ship are bent downwards as it passes through the colder air, to observers on the shoreline. Having evolved to keep things simple, the human brain is easily fooled. It assumes the light rays from the ship have travelled in a straight line, and so pictures the ship in a higher position than it really is – in this instance, above the sea surface. If it's just a trick of the brain, then how come you can capture it on camera?
