      idk who I actually hate more, Matty or Bari. Like, matty is legit super smooth brained, I'm not exactly sure how much reach he really has tbh. The other thing with Bari is, she is a real fucking ghoul, she also had a lot of reach at the NYT and probably convinced a bunch of liberals a lot of terrible neocon shit. I love dunking on Matty too, it's so easy, his comment section on twitter is always filled with leftists also dunking on him, and he complains a lot about it. I guess I do hate Bari more, because I can't think of a single redeemable thing about her, and she has quite a bit of influence over her years.

      Still can't stop laughing about Matty's 1 billion americans shit. It's so fucking funny, but also has a LOT of underlining racist reasoning. I'm not really sure how popular he actually is tbh

        easy bari https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1327101009164812289 the name of the book that she says is being censored is "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters" but she did not put it on the tweet for some reason like maybe she thought it would be too on the nose

      Yeah, lol. I still love that Bari Weiss is doing the freeze peach grift when she used to try and get professors fired for being pro-Palestine.

      Greenwald is the "anti-SJW leftist" and that's what he's going to sell himself on now that he's gone. That's been his thing for a while now, apart from going on Tucker Carlson's show often and agreeing with him on a variety of issues.

    Does Yglesias' move really have anything to do with "woke purges", or did the author of this tweet just make that up? I think he continues to host a Vox podcast.

      I think the tweet author just assumes it's woke related because left-twitter calls MattY an egg or a treatboy every day. But yeah, his job is literally to woke-wash deregulation and poor labor practices. He's not "antiwoke" by any means, other than I guess being really whiny every time he runs into a word he hadn't heard before that activists use.

      Didn't Greenwald leave over some Hunter Biden bullshit? Doesn't map to woke purges either...

      Just like with Bari and Glenn he's leaving because he's not allowed to just publish whatever he wants whenever he wants and thinks he'll have more freedom on a blog while also retaining his audience/views

    I don't understand why these people would be upset? Not only can you get massive amounts of likes on Twitter, but you also don't have to fuckin work because you're up to your ears in dollar bills. If I were in that position, I would put out an article that was just the g*mer word ASAP so I could go home and feed my fish.
