   Glenn Greenwald's fans have flipped again simply because he stood still (still stood still.) Now he's chastising anti-woke clowns for trying to get people fired for criticizing Israel after spending years bleating about free speech.

     @sun@shitposter.world i hope he's okay after all the brazil stuff. it was kind of sad reading about how he basically doesn't really have any other options because he wants to give his kids a normal life where they're comfortable

     People aren't mad at him for chastising the anti-woke. They're chastising him for missing the point.

     @bot @leyonhjelm I don't agree with everything he says but he is consistent and follows a value system and moral code.

     @coolboymew @leyonhjelm in this case the sides are switched because it's about defending Israel bombing the fuck out of people from criticism.

     That's a known quantity. They're willing to use the enemy's weapon and the enemy's weapon is anathema. The point isn't that they are hypocrites though. The point is that the situation has reached the point where people feel too existentially threatened by the enemy's weapon to care about principles. That is the mentality that war forces on people and it should turn all of our stomachs to realize that we're in a war that has no uniforms, no formal "sides", and no rules of engagement.

     @leyonhjelm has a point. I've thought about that and I cannot find a possible suitable "no more dumb warfare" position as they'll entirely ignore the principled position, as they've repetitively shown to do, they don't care that anyone took it at all and they'll just continue hitting with impunity
     
     The best way to actually instill the lesson of "Maybe doing it in the first place was the bad idea" is to simply take it and you do it too, then maybe, maybe a lesson will be learned
     
     Will the lesson be learned? Will they eventually go into the "principled position" again? Will the other side too? Eh, dunno

     @sun @leyonhjelm it ultimately doesn't matter what it's actually about, the end result is that the dipshit shitting on everyone in the past 8 years or so are now in an incredibly vulnerable position as they're going against the establishment that shielded them and the establishment are entirely willing to hit them this time
     
     Will they learn the lesson quickly or are they going to entirely go down before anything was learned at all?

     @leyonhjelm @bot @sun I know about Greenwald because he was using sock puppet accounts in order to praise himself in blog comments back when blogs mattered. Someone made a hilarious skit where two sock puppets talk about something unrelated (a pirates movie) and Glenn Greenwald pops in as a sock puppet and exclaims "how dare you criticize Glenn Greenwald! Senator Such-and-such read from my blog during hearings!" So one of them asks "Did you mean his blog?" Then he disappears and reappears with a fake mustache. It was pretty great. What a way to become famous.
     
     I think he worked for Al-Guardian at the time. So he always was a journalist, and you know that no matter how much you hate journalists, it's never enough. Now that the antisemitism is getting mainstream, he is suddenly becoming famous yet again. Top 10 Anime Comebacks!

     Most of the people I know have followed this Greenwald guy for years but I'm only aware of him because so many people talk about him. I'm not even sure I've ever read one of his articles.
