I haven't seen a good take from Greenwald, incendiary or otherwise, in at least a year. Every time he pops up on my feed he's carrying water for transphobes or white supremacists.

Glenn purposely wraps correct takes in incendiary language to piss illiterates off. If you stop and digest what he says they mostly boil down to correct takes.

Greenwald publishes on a substack I don’t subscribe to and appears on tv shows I don’t watch and tweets on an account I don’t follow and yet I always end up seeing his takes because people won’t shut the gently caress up about him!!

It's true that liberals hate Greenwald because he throws their own hypocrisy back in their faces and doesn't toe the line on supporting the military murder machine, but this doesn't change the fact that he's a whiny little turd who let resentment of liberals turn him into a reactionary turd

Glenn's takes are correct in such a far-removed and reality-divorced fashion they are borderline useless at this point, and I say this as a brazilian who has to thank him for publishing stuff here in Brazil that no one would and just might lead to Bolsonaro finally getting tossed out.

It's like "The US imperialist dogma machine has a great reach and willing enablers!" (With you so far...) followed immediately why "And that is why this reactionary racist billionaire loon is the new FDR!" (wait, what?)

I'm not even paraphrasing that much. Just a couple of days ago he was gushing on Twitter over how Tucker Carlson deeply and genuinely apologized for his"old, bad takes". People rightfully asked when that happened and what he had said. Glenn waved it off and said it had for sure happened, then moved on to ramble about people being mean to crypto because they love banks and want to kiss them on the mouth.

And his take on roe v. Wade might be McArdle-grade idiotic and rules-lawyery. gently caress, can you imagine playing on a tabletop RPG game with him as the DM? "I think it has ever been perfectly clear that the good baron's law against missile weapons also apply to -thrown- weapons, so it is really your fault that he is sentencing you to death, Rethgard! Your protests only make you look bad."

Yep he has stupid takes too! He likes to wrap a simple, reasonable take in utter nonsense to piss off liberals. He also likes to be willfully ignorant and the most credulous man alive. He uses "reading and listening in good faith" in a bad faith way. Truly a master of his craft.

They tried this exact argument in the actual Glenn thread and it's as non sensical there. They seem to be arguing that Glenn's endorsement doesn't make or break the lovely nature and actions of people like Tucker Glenn defends but that raises the question of why he's then defending them in the first place.

The Glenn thread has broken some posters brains. Plague of rats once posted in this thread telling people making fun of Glenn to go to the cspam Glenn thread then went there to ask "Why are all these anti Glenn freaks posting here all of a sudden?" They're just a little pain pig.

Glenn Greenwald went on Chapo once and he makes liberals mad, so we have to defend all the incredibly stupid poo poo he says. Defending racists and transphobes doesn't matter because he's not materially supporting them, but his good tweets, those are praxis.

I can't believe they didn't go after a celebrity guest for not being an avowed leftist. They should have stretched the interview out so they could lecture him about the historical accomplishments of China and the Soviet Union.

yea for context of 'actually listened to the episode' he was super obviously being sarcastic with the quote and they did indeed laugh at their guest's joke. Like, yea I'm sure the hollywood actor isn't a literal active communist but he wasn't loving 'quoting Churchill to defend capitalism'.
