If you think about it, it's really amazing: Corporate journalists united from the start to pronounce the revelations of the Twitter Files worthless and trivial, and the journalists reporting them illegitimate, and trained millions to ignore everything they show. This is why: — PolitiTweet.org

@Jstnorv10 @BrlanQ @joshtpm How do you not see how you sound like Joseph McCarthy? You think I'm going to jump through hoops you set up and denounce people on command to prove loyalty? Nothing is easier, cheaper or more worthless than Americans denouncing foreign leaders their government tells them to hate. https://t.co/WcvwmyJZm6 — PolitiTweet.org

@Jstnorv10 @BrlanQ @joshtpm Yes, that's Bill Kristol's website and that's what neocons do. They accuse anyone who opposes their war policies of being traitors and supporters of the other side. They've been doing it for decades. I'd be ashamed if Bill Kristol's site weren't accusing me of treason. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BrlanQ @Jstnorv10 @joshtpm No, he's angry that there are a few places on the internet which refuse to obey establishment orders about who should be censored. Rumble sticks its middle finger up at anyone who tells them to censor, thus allowing RT and US outlets alike to be heard. That angers authoritarians. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@junertcb Of course. Many people were censored from Big Tech platforms over the last year due to dissenting from the NATO narrative on the war in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's false to say, as @joshtpm does, that I believe liberals are "more evil than authoritarians." That's because liberals *are* authoritarians. Every poll shows this - they want corporate and state censorship, love FBI and CIA, etc. All data is here: https://t.co/YihjSNPgJn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Partfortynineg1 You believe that the CIA and FBI are deeply concerned with right-wing extremism, and are censoring the internet to protect you and others for your own good from these dangers? That's sweet.🥰 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Part of this is that the majority of media employees are too dumb and insulated to understand anyone who isn't plagued by their disease of only seeing the world through the "Dem v. GOP" prism (most Americans don't). But part is they now just use labels as punishment for dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To see how labels are now wielded as vapid enforcement insults: WPost has called me leftist journalist, heterodox reporter, right-wing pundit, conservative influencer. @thenation today used "libertarian pundit" after years of "left-wing journalist": often from the same writer. https://t.co/9dIerRWQZl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I hate label debates. As WPost just proved ("conservative journalist" Matt Taibbi), they're designed to manipulate. But I make this point because the key difference now - for Big Tech censorship and otherwise - is not "left v. right" so much as "pro v. anti-establishment":👇 https://t.co/3lPim3oIoh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It really his bizarre how every question about the COVID devoid of politics -- efficacy of cloth masks, wisdom of shutting schools, even whether the origins of the pandemic were known -- polarized along Dem/GOP lines. Listen to @ComicDaveSmith explain why that happened: https://t.co/QBs4ZmdZ88 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Tim Robbins isn't a "liberal." He's a life-long leftist. It's a vital distinction, especially in the US context. Outside the US, leftists dissented from COVID orthodoxy. @jeremycorbyn opposed vaccine mandates and passports. Jean-Luc Mélenchon hated lockdowns. Listen to Robbins: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidmweissman @elonmusk @mtaibbi That was the point of my article, which cites not just Supreme Court precedent but also one of the best ACLU lawyers explaining that: when government pressure on private actors to censor for them becomes sufficiently coercive, it violates the 1st Am. Should and will be tested. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@elonmusk @mtaibbi When Dems controlled both houses of Congress and the WH (and Exec Branch), they repeatedly summoned Big Tech CEOs and openly and explicitly threatened them: if you don't *censor more*, you will be punished. And DHS/FBI/CIA applied immense pressure: https://t.co/KBMZpFiSzL — PolitiTweet.org

@bamage02 @OnLocals @SystemUpdate_ You're guilty of small-dog erasure, a benign and common form of bigotry. https://t.co/UVvGst1nZt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

You can see hordes of them gathered in this thread doing exactly that. Democrats don't just admire and trust the CIA, DHS and FBI (as the polling data I've often posted shows). They think you're weird or mentally ill if their power concerns you: https://t.co/bD6cmQgBfp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For the crime of reporting that the US Security State agencies are heavily involved in Big Tech's censorship regime, and for confessing that he found this deeply disturbing, liberals have spent a full week saying that @mtaibbi has mental health problems and needs therapy. https://t.co/N0P1Qmv0Z6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For the interactive after-show @OnLocals which we do after @SystemUpdate_ airs, we use canine co-hosts. Last night, the two whose day it was ended up in a subtle but aggressive battle for both air time and chair space. It's a very competitive business. https://t.co/nktVenVVDF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember when people used to pretend to care about how migrants were being treated at the border (2017-20)? Do Democrats claim they're now treated well, or that there are too many other things to worry about now to pay attention? What's the claim? https://t.co/XMVQIDPBVm — PolitiTweet.org

Starting in 5 minutes, live, exclusive on Rumble: The Orwellian re-writing of history on Ukraine by the Western media, plus @davidzweig on how government and Big Tech colluded to suppress dissent on COVID: https://t.co/ZYveG8Dyab — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On tonight's @SystemUpdate_ , 7pm ET live on Rumble, we'll look at how the Western media completely rewrote history as soon as Russia invaded, in exactly the way Orwell warned. Plus: @davidzweig, on how Twitter censored any dissent on COVID orthodoxy: https://t.co/ZYveG8Dyab — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonBik @wallacemick @ClareDalyMEP Bernie and AOC both voted for the last $40b package to fuel the US proxy war in Ukraine, so it would be rather bizarre for them to say something like this, since it's the exact opposite of that vote. And getting them to say anything about Assange is like pulling teeth. — PolitiTweet.org

@dicksmoka He hid the replies of others pointing out that he has the same privileged background, if not more so, than the one he's accusing @bungarsargon of having that bars her from speaking about the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If this is the family you're lucky and privileged enough to come from, at least disclose that when you go to malign and discredit others for having grown up with wealthy and privileged families. https://t.co/nBfcZPJPM2 https://t.co/FOisYvyWYh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whenever mainstream "leftists" like this accuse others of being incapable of caring about the working class due to their rich and privileged backgrounds, one always finds that this is how they, too, grew up. It never fails: https://t.co/gkT0lkPJDa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@omersarain @SystemUpdate_ @SMArikat Yes, that's the point. Arbitrary and political censorship were happening long before Musk purchased Twitter. Corporate journalists only started complaining now that they and their friends became the targets. Musk says he wants to end this and I'm still hoping he will. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@grapesmoker Yes, they're saying this, but right now they don't have a law that allows them to criminalize your advocacy of your views on such laws. The new proposed law that Dems want will allow not only Dems but also the GOP, when in power, to criminalize what they regard as misinformation. — PolitiTweet.org
