Glenn Greenwald on Twitter

I’m not fully on board with every last point of trans dogma — which is why my name is currently trending on Twitter as a transphobe — but in general I believe the law and society should honor and respect a person’s identity.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 25, 2021

Why do leftists always seem to make excuses for this guy? Yeah he has been part of some great work, especially with Snowden and Bolsonaro, but he has some real chud tier beliefs. To me he seems like your bog standard libertarian, meaning he has no conception of societal power dynamics and his concept of freedom is limited to the level of the individual.

    Right, and they do that for the reason I stated above. I'd even go so far as to say it's maybe good to pay attention to people who you don't agree with 100% of the time. Even if only to be able to arm yourself with a more coherent criticism of them than that they have "no conception of societal power dynamics".

          No you have answered your own question, "Why do people critically support Glenn?" I am asking "Why are there so many people who seem to uncritically support him?"

            Again, the answer is still the same. Not sure what's confusing you but I don't think I can help.
