    what in the everliving fuck happened to Glenn Greenwald that he is now equating Democracy Now! with the NYT op-ed page

      He's literally out of touch with reality now. Example recent tweet of his:

      First Nicki Minaj, then NBA dissidents, now Dave Chappelle: there's been a recent string of high-profile Black public figures thoughtfully and forcefully questioning or rejecting elite liberal pieties, and it's fascinating to watch liberal elite discourse-managers navigate this.

      Link

      He has post left Twitter brainrot now (and yes I know he was never left, but he landed in the general post left camp)

        In what universe is this post left? I'm not seeing any critique of traditional leftist analysis or organizing, just standard right wing panic.

      I think he's 1/3 grifter, 1/3 troll, 1/3 nuts. The fractions might be wrong but it does seem to me he's those three things.

      Didn't Democracy Now buy in to the Uyghur "genocide" thing though?

      Not that that's what Greenwald is complaining about here, but still.

      He's a rich expat with a much younger spouse, obviously he's gonna pivot to Libertarianism.
