The world's dumbest people -- literally -- are those who can't distinguish between "I oppose censorship of Idea X" and "I support Idea X." Here's its close cousin: "I oppose EU interference in Italy's elections" = "I support the party the EU dislikes": https://t.co/ZxxSc4OYDD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BradMossEsq Not sure why, but sometimes I forget how genuinely stupid you are. Opposing censorship of "idea X" doesn't mean I'm defending "idea X." Opposing EU interference in Italy's elections doesn't mean I "favor" the party disliked by the EU. These are basic reasoning principles. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@apagliar Leaving aside the promiscuous use of "fascism" to mean "anyone to the right of me whose views I dislike," she's not "sounding the alarm" about Italy's candidates. She's trying to interfere in their election by threatening EU sanctions if voters vote against her favored candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just as in the US, EU neoliberals who prattle on about "democracy" and who glorify themselves as defenders of "democratic values" mean only one thing by "democracy": total submission to their will. Ideas they dislike are censored. Voters who defy their orders are punished. https://t.co/O4Iz0tgvwf — PolitiTweet.org

This is why so many validly despise the EU, why so many supported Brexit. There are few things more arrogant, condescending, and authoritarian than Brussels bureaucrats. Imagine being an Italian and being commanded by someone like Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen on how to vote.👇 https://t.co/9ww63wrNCB — PolitiTweet.org

Italy is on the verge of an election that will result in its first-ever female Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. One of Europe's most authoritarian politicians, the unelected EU Commission President @vonderleyen, is threatening to sanction Italy if its citizens vote for her party. — PolitiTweet.org

@sakitechonline @TaylorLorenz Thank you for expressing a view that I share about the excellence of Chris Hedges' work. He has repeatedly expressed his view of my work and it's the exact opposite of the one you hold. Hard to reconcile that for you: https://t.co/3xF1rRtqUD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Ryansdubya @jg2988 @TaylorLorenz Lula has been incredibly gracious about acknowledging the work we did. His last letter from prison was to me; he wrote a WPost op-ed on the work we did; and repeatedly condemned the attempts to prosecute me. Your claim that I said or implied that "Lula is evil" is a deranged lie. https://t.co/ukw7wEHDTN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jg2988 @TaylorLorenz Getting Lula out of a prison through investigative reporting -- and then being prosecuted for it by a right-wing government -- is a really weird thing for a "conservative grifter" to do. https://t.co/D9qi8xTR6a — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yet somehow, the editorial policy of the WPost is to allow @TaylorLorenz to call me an "influencer" and her a "journalist," even though her only accomplishment is lurking outside young teenagers' homes as an unwell middle-aged neurotic. Taylor: "journalist." Me: "influencer." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

By the way, this time 4 years ago, during the 2018 presidential election in Brazil, Lula was imprisoned. He's now free and leading in all polls due to our reporting proving that his conviction, and the hero-judge (@SF_Moro ) condemning him, were corrupt. https://t.co/VhAa4yt99F — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are few things more dangerous than placing blind faith in DOJ claims. Even worse is assuming guilt from leaks. The investigative exposé we did in Brazil that freed Lula and enabled him to run for President was partially based on exactly this abuse: https://t.co/4fjtbvSULA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For the crime of writing that Gaetz deserves due process and it's dangerous, toxic and reckless to assume someone's guilt based on prosecutors' leaks, I was also called a pedophile (only pedophiles would urge caution and skepticism regarding DOJ leaks): https://t.co/lhzST08RKr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It was almost 1 1/2 years ago to this day when the NYT blared in its headlines that @MattGaetz was under investigation for child sex trafficking, and liberals - who claim to be skeptical of prosecutors and in favor of due process - spent 18 months calling him a pedophile. Now: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@caitoz There's a huge overlap between Ukraine flag in bios and #Resistance fanatics who spent years worshipping Mueller. They nursed on anti-Russian hatred for years because Dem elites told them to blame Putin, not Hillary, for their 2016 loss, so now they're willing to risk nuclear war — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChristoSavaides Yes, that's the reason the US feels free to go around invading and bombing countries like Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Syria, but wouldn't invade North Korea or Pakistan. Rational countries take into account whether other countries have nuclear weapons before going to war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jlawhorn1975 Nobody denies the right of Ukraine to fight Russia for as long as they want, however they want. The issue Obama was addressing there, and I'm raising here, is whether the US should treat this war like a proxy war and risk confrontation with Russia and nuclear war over Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A reminder of Obama spoke and thought about Ukraine and Russia just 6 years ago.👇 Someone has changed, and I would suggest it's the political faction that is now in a full alignment with neocon warmongers like Bill Kristol, David Frum, all the beloved CIA/FBI/NSA cable stars. https://t.co/gS8UgTRga4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Obama, 2016, when neocon @JeffreyGoldberg demanded to know what he wouldn't arm Ukraine: "Ukraine is a core Russian interest but not an American one." Liberals and their neocon leaders, 2022: Why, yes, I do think Ukraine is important enough to risk nuclear war over. — PolitiTweet.org

Viewing every individual as little more than their racial identity, imposing a racial framework on every last human event, and refusing to allow individuals to be judged outside of their racial category is an incredibly dreary, toxic and - yes - racist way to navigate life. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisCWright1 @BMarchetich @MintPressNews @Consortiumnews Few journalists, if any, haves reported or written more on censorship aimed at Palestinians and radical anti-imperialists. It's one of the main topics I've covered. But on culture/social issues (race/crime/LGBT/feminism), corporate power is on your side. https://t.co/uR1RB0dOCY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @MintPressNews @Consortiumnews Like I said, I know it's super important for liberals and especially leftists to believe big corporate power is against them. It's only true for radical leftists on imperialism and war (Ukraine, Israel, NATO, etc.). On culture/social issues, corp. censorship is against the right. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @MintPressNews @Consortiumnews Countless Mintpress articles harshly condemning Bernie & AOC (👇). They're not Dems. Nonetheless, in each tweet, I emphasized: the main branch of liberal-left orthodoxy these large corporations protect is on cultural issues (race/LGBT/feminism, etc). https://t.co/9Bde1ql9OR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @MintPressNews @Consortiumnews Yes, the actual left - the dissident anti-establishment left - is subject to the same type of censorship from the same power centers, but not on cultural questions. The first reporting I did on Big Tech censorship was FB attacks on Palestinians. But the AOC/Bernie "left" is fine. https://t.co/ErB5kKZaLc — PolitiTweet.org
