This wasn't some aberrational "gaffe" by an old man in cognitive decline. He is that, but he was channeling the prevailing ethos in left-liberal politics: if you're in a marginalized group, you belong to them. They tell you what you can think and say: https://t.co/RZkdshSrmo — PolitiTweet.org

Cultural left-liberals really do believe that they have reached such a state of unprecedented enlightenment that all communities and discourse involving marginalized people -- including ones to which they have zero connection in their lives -- are theirs to control and dictate. — PolitiTweet.org

Lesbians like @kittypurrzog have had their entire lives formed and shaped by the gay and lesbian community. For some reason, liberals who have no connection to that community feel entitled - as always - lecturing them on how they can and can't speak about what they're seeing. — PolitiTweet.org

People can have whatever views on the US role in the proxy war in Ukarine. What can't be denied is the realignment. The only NO votes for Biden's $40b war package and his new FBI/DHS War on Terror came from a few dozen Republicans. All Dems, and most GOP, are with the neocons. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KirbyRMichaels @keystone69420 A huge numbers of "Trumpers" are vehemently in favor of the US role in Ukraine. Sean Hannity, as but one example, goes on the air every night agitating in its favor. Its most vocal Senate proponents are Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton and Marsha Blackburn. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThinkRealist That's exactly how the Vietnam War was justified -- "we're just defending South Vietnam's democracy from Communist aggression in order to preserve the status quo" -- and people like you are too dumb to realize it's always the same war propaganda so you always fall for it. — PolitiTweet.org

@DisruptivePoltx Defeating the North Vietnamese aggressors is "progress." Defeating the women-repressing Taliban is "progress." Liberating Iraqis from Saddam's tyranny, and Libyans from Gaddafi's, and Syrians from Assad's, is "progress." 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣 — PolitiTweet.org

@keystone69420 Most Republicans --both in Congress and voters in general -- support Biden's $40b war package, which I'm explicitly denouncing. In light of that, it's rather difficult - and dumb - to claim I won't make arguments that alienate conservatives. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As Hawley notes, the enormous sums "for Ukraine" and the US war machine are, in fact, primarily enriching weapons manufacturers while neglecting needs at home. This was once standard left-wing anti-war rationale. It's why progressive media now largely ignores these issues. https://t.co/6FMli4FvFo — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There is not a single Democrat or "leftist" in Congress who could possibly make this argument in light of their unanimous Dem votes over the last 2 weeks for Biden's $40b war package, and more DHS/FBI War on Terror powers. Hawley voted NO on both. The votes tell the story. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

"No to Neoconservatism" - by Sen. @HawleyMO, in @compactmag_. He uses the bipartisan consensus to escalate this proxy war in Ukraine, and for more NATO expansion, to argue -correctly - that neoconservatism is still the dominant ideology in both parties. https://t.co/Z8SS11wPlM — PolitiTweet.org

@walterkirn @DarrenJBeattie For sure, the US national security state is primarily driven by its own interests, which are often, I'd argue usually, radically different from the interests of the American people. Ukraine is a perfect example. And Big Tech censors anything undermining their war aims. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Burisma needed favors, they didn't pay the son of a Ukrainian politician $50k/month to sit on their board despite no experience in that industry. They paid that favor-cash to Joe Biden's son. They knew where the power in Ukraine resided. — PolitiTweet.org

@coralwisp The US is currently involved in its most dangerous war in decades, rapidly escalating, with the country that has the largest nuclear stockpile on the planet. I think major wars also deserve discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who think this is a benign chat, imagine a leaked call from the Kremlin in early 2017 with Russian officials decreeing who should be in the Trump cabinet, then the Cabinet matches exactly their choices. Wouldn't seem so benign. US was heavily involved in Ukraine then. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who haven't heard it, here's the leaked 2014 call with US neocon State Dept official Victoria Nuland (Cheney's key adviser during Iraq, then running Ukraine for Obama, now for Biden) and the US Amb to Ukraine, choosing Ukraine's leaders in 2014: https://t.co/ATAB1P1kyT — PolitiTweet.org

There is, of course, massive censoring by Big Tech of conservative voices, as well as leftist anti-establishment ones. But overlooked: their primary allegiance when censoring is to the US Security State. Big Tech censorship always aligns with US intelligence and military aims.👇 — PolitiTweet.org

@Ravarora1 @antoniogm @DavidSacks Yes, I think the consensus among the three of us, and many in the audience I heard from, was they wish it would have been longer. It's a hard, complex topic to cover in 30 minutes but I think the time was used very well. But yeah, I'd be open to more. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThomasKelsey @Bsim110 @antoniogm @DavidSacks I've always gone on Fox when invited because I believe in maximizing audience, not minimizing it. I've also always engaged what you consider random, worthless people because they're not famous, because I don't judge someone's worth by their follower count. None of this changed. — PolitiTweet.org

@pierrethewolf1 @uhoh007 @antoniogm @DavidSacks It explained why Brazilians started off ready to vote for it, but ended up voting against it. That was from a time when people were capable of understanding that journalists explain things without having to pick a side of the binary. — PolitiTweet.org

@RotaryCup @antoniogm @DavidSacks Teaching Americans to use that phrase to block inquiry into anything the US Govt does or has done — even as a way to test the authenticity of its claimed motives and values — has done a lot of damage to discourse and analysis of propaganda. — PolitiTweet.org
