    He’s already there. He just did an interview with Niccolo Soldo.

    Edit: the intro to the interview, quoted below, should give you all an idea how far Mr. Greenwald has fallen. I encourage everyone to read it.

    It’s rather important to understand why highly accomplished individuals like Glenn Greenwald succeed at what they do. There is no person alive today who is more self-loathing than Glenn, who has internalized homophobia to the extent that he has, who is simultaneously both an extreme misogynist and TERF, and who tops it off with being a self-hating Jew. How does he do it? This interview seeks to find out how. I agreed to conduct this interview with Glenn for two reasons. The first reason being that he needs some positive PR to increase his appeal among his natural constituency: Nazis, Fascists, and Anti-Semites and homophobes. The second reason being that he indicated his willingness to use his powerful legal mind to make a strong case in front of Rania Khalek as to why she should let me impregnate her. I asked him to do the same with Tulsi Gabbard but he informed me that "Michael Tracey has already called dibs on her. I can't do much to help you out until she gets around to finally filing the inevitable restraining order against him”. Glenn thinks he’s funny.

      I even said that before I found the full clip from Daily Caller, where he tells on himself by calling socialism closed borders and taking care of "our" workers. I hate being right about this.

        International Workers of the World Unite! But from afar please! Good fences make good neighbors, so you stay in your country and I'll stay in mine. We good?

        He's a long time fixture of the "frog twitter" scene of fascist intellectuals. He seems to be atively pursing a red/brown alliance, by courting "left" personalities like the Red Scare girls, Aimee Teresee, and now Glenn Greenwald.

        He's actually a talented writer and has fairly astute political analysis. I was following him on Twitter for quite a while without realizing that he was fash, because he more or less keeps a lid on his less savory beliefs, to the extent that he mostly expresses them under the guise of "irony."

        The quote above includes a good example: it sounds like a joke, but his audience really is composed of Nazis, anti-semites, and homophobes.

          Thx for filling me in. Just wondering, where you would put 1) Saagar Enjeti and 2) Krystal Ball in promoting a red-brown alliance if you have an opinion on them ?

            I'm less familiar with them, but from what I understand they represent more of a red/blue alliance, meaning Republican and Democrat. They have different ideas but ultimately both want to preserve and operate inside the neoliberal world order, albeit with different ideas about how that order should be managed.

            The hypothetical Red/Brown alliance that gets discussed on this site between fascists and communists is a different beast from that, because the ultimate goal of that alliance is the destruction of the current world order. Of course, because the communists and the fascists have such radically different ideas about what needs to be built to replace that order, any temporary alliance would ultimately end in the two sides trying to tear themselves apart.
