@KyleSGibson @SilvermanJacob @rumblevideo Authoritarian governments have repeatedly threatened to imprison me, while this never happened to you, precisely because you're not only a simp for power but a zero that threatens nobody. I'm very happy with my work for Rumble as well - on all levels - and I'm glad you are, too. — PolitiTweet.org

@gregotto How much does @trailofbits pay you? Have you ever disclosed your compensation terms? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SilvermanJacob @rumblevideo Have you ever asked any long-time liberal employee of publicly traded corporations these questions. Do you know how much Chris Hayes makes from Comcast or if he has stock in it? Do you know much Don Lemon makes from CNN or if he has stock in TimeWarner? How much does TNR pay you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KyleSGibson @SilvermanJacob @rumblevideo I'm sorry you can't get anyone to be interested in anything you have to say. One way to fix that would be to try to think of something that is something other than dull, empty-headed and banal. Maligning the success of others won't soothe your feelings of inadequacy. — PolitiTweet.org

@SilvermanJacob @rumblevideo No and no. Look elsewhere for tiny, bitter, envious conspiracy theories. — PolitiTweet.org

Even by just sporadically posting on Rumble, with no promotional budget, our videos attracted far more than the standard YouTube shows that claim millions of subscribers <coughTYYcough>. Watching short-sellers and ideological enemies bash Rumble with demonstrable lies is amazing. https://t.co/1gsm7osVs5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Until we signed our new contract to produce a new one-hour prime-time live show, I produced 2-3 video reports a month for Rumble. With 1-2 exceptions, they attracted 4-5 times the size of the same video on YouTube, routinely exceeding 200k-300k viewers, often by large amounts. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @matt_kohrs: These short and distort campaigns are comical 🤣 It takes 30 seconds to disprove the substack statements. Not the first… — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SameeraKhan Yes, the CIA now "weighs in" on the side of democracy. It's so exciting. 😍 — PolitiTweet.org

@drs10909 @x0ciquetzal People like you assume others say and do anything for money because that's true of you, so you assume everyone suffers from the same disease of the soul that plagues you. — PolitiTweet.org

@StealthBlue You can always go back to school for remedial reading classes. — PolitiTweet.org

@adpoa Neither the US nor Brazil is at war with Russia. Zelensky outlawed opposition TV stations and parties before the war. I realize "free speech" is seen by much of the Brazilian left as a fascist value, but since you love Lula, read his views on Ukraine: https://t.co/ZlXvKc2Qsr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@x0ciquetzal I used to be extremely supportive of CIA narratives, bipartisan war policies, clandestine coups, and US proxy wars, but then I recently got paid by the Kremlin and Peter Thiel to think they're bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How are people so fucking stupid and primitive that they still think saying things like this is anything other than neo-McCarthyite cringe? It's not even pernicious, just embarrassing: https://t.co/CuVQIyquE7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Take Brazil: everyone in the US outside of MAGA is openly rooting for Lula (that includes the US Govt, doing more than mere rooting). But read what Lula has to say about the war in Ukraine. In the US, these views are banned, or scorned as "pro-Putin": https://t.co/ZlXvKc2Qsr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Obviously, a population in which only one side is permitted to be heard, with the other side banned and censored, is a population that cannot be anything other than propagandized. It of course can't be informed. But it follows Zelensky's model of banning TV stations *last year*: https://t.co/95B6XvS8vv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The way censorship works in the US is just standard Big Tech banishment: after COVID dissent, dissent on Ukraine is the easiest way to get banned by Google and FB. But the EU actually *made it illegal* to air Russian state media. It's a crime to do so: https://t.co/tkVOij8TnI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These views about the war in Ukraine are commonplace all over the world. They only sound shocking and offensive in certain Western countries (US) where the political class is united in support of the same war narrative and where any dissent from it is literally outlawed (EU): — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@terrence_mccoy Yeah, and as bad as the presidential polls were, the key state polls (SP Senate, SP Governor, Rio Governor) were even worse. Some were off by 30 points or more, always in the same direction. It's amazing how no explanation was required before media outlets just kept using them. — PolitiTweet.org

@WalterSobchakSr 💯 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's vitally important to understand how media liberals think: If you believe it's not a standard election between 2 parties but an existential war of Good (Dems) v. Evil (GOP), then of you'll regard lying, censorship, authoritarianism, anything as justified if it helps Dems win — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the NYT op-ed I referenced by the world's single most banal "thinker," @AnandWrites. It's entitled: "The Uncomfortable Truths That Could Yet Defeat Fascism" It's a 6-point plan on how Dems (the "pro-democracy forces") can win the 2022 midterm: https://t.co/GcbtAjF06i — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The official editorial line in liberal corporate outlets is the Dem Party are "pro-democracy forces" and GOP the "party of fascism and dictatorship." A NYT op-ed said this explicitly. Here's @ChrisLHayes - who once pretended he pushed Dems left or whatever - saying it outright: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is this -- from a Research Fellow at @FDD and a Special Correspondent @KyivPost -- explicitly racist: kind of like from-Mein-Kampf racist? The US and Brits with their superior rational brains will triumph over the inferior emotional Russian Slavic brains? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I love my liberal critics and learn a lot from them: There is no such thing as gay men. Only loser men who strike out with the ladies and have nowhere else to go: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Cernovich David Frum has always been extremely brave about writing in speeches for the Bush WH and then in his columns about all the wars that excite him and that other people's children should go fight and die in while he watches with increasing levels of arousal, as Adam Smith explained: https://t.co/OxKlSUZnfy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RodBoydILM @BrandyZadrozny @TaylorLorenz Yes, those two are relegated to publishing their screeds in tiny, little, poorly-funded, obscure journals called "NBC News" and "The Washington Post." They're like little powerless people who have no megaphone. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@slaves2society Yeah, what a weird thing to do for a journalist to appear on one of the few political TV programs large numbers of people actually watch, including both young people and Democrats. Real journalists would only go to CNN and MSNBC where nobody is watching. https://t.co/8uGI2um1Ks — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bossert_l @slaves2society Who are the people who pay me who I don't criticize? The overwhelming majority of my income comes from my readers. Who are the journalists who routinely attack their employers? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@slaves2society I've always harshly criticized and expressed contempt for the behavior of the largest media corporations. Their systemic failures are why I began writing about politics. They're powerful actors and, like any others, merit critical scrutiny. There was never a time when I didn't. — PolitiTweet.org
