@OfficialGlomar Depends on the needs at the moment of the liberal wielder of identity politics discourse. Sometimes, yes; sometimes, no. — PolitiTweet.org

@SandBlastr09 How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe random celebrity net worth sites? But even if it weren't laughably wrong, I was raised by a single mother who worked as a McDonald's cashier to support us, went to public schools, had parents with zero power, connections or money. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealDon2con I'm doing OK --- all without having parents who had any wealth, fame, privilege or connections. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL - At the end of the day, somehow the media elites who grew up in the richest and most privileged backgrounds, and who now enjoy extreme influence and power, are always the Real Victims™: https://t.co/XpD4Xp7JYO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When affluent liberals raised in wealth and privilege write the rules of discourse and construct the definitions of "marginalization," "oppression," and "diversity," of course they're going to exclude any consideration of class background, for obvious and self-serving reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In liberal discourse, people raised in vast wealth and privilege like Molly Jong-Fast and Taylor Lorenz are more marginalized and oppressed than, say, an unemployed white father of 3 in a de-industrialized, fentanyl-overrun town with no health care. He can't be marginalized. — PolitiTweet.org

"A review by NBC News has found 11 articles written by a reporter over the last year that did not meet our standards for original material. The articles contained passages from other news organizations that were used without attribution." Bizarre not to say which reporter it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Elon Musk voted for and donated to Obama. According to @ACLU, he's not just a "card-carrying member" but one of its biggest donors, if not the biggest. Somehow he's also now "the far right." Here's @rustyrockets on what that term really means: https://t.co/9VXv3qKUs0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SaeenDiddyCombs @realchrisrufo @MollyJongFast You know nothing about any of their experiences except the most superficial biographical details, but even if that's true, Taylor Lorenz and Molly Jong-Fast have had more privileged and coddled lives than 99.999% of the people on the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Joe Rogan said his favorite candidate was Bernie. Russell Brand spent years professing devotion to Jeremy Corbyn. All are now routinely described as "right-wing" or "far right." That's how meaningless the term is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@realchrisrufo @MollyJongFast In liberal discourse, the only currency is victimhood and marginalization. How can people who grew up in extreme wealth like her and Taylor Lorenz claim to have this? By defining the only privileged class to be straight white men. That's how we're told they deserve our sympathy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rich white woman @MollyJongFast - who won the birth lottery by being born to rich famous white parents who raised her in Manhattan, sent her to private schools, and thus herself bought an Upper East Side co-op for $5 million in 2007 at the age of 29 - rants about "rich white men" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's a completely fabricated Guardian story. It was treated as a huge bombshell. When even liberals started doubting it, they added "sources say" to the headline. Everyone knows it's false: never happened. They refuse to retract it. These are the real agents of disinformation. https://t.co/7PgnGkXN5f — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What a fucking joke -- that this person is now running a so-called "anti-disinformation" Board inside the Department of Homeland Security. But it's not just her: the ones who created this and are supporting it are also aggressive disinformation agents: https://t.co/O8zNimxvK8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And, needless to say, the #Resistance cartoon now **running a new Homeland Security Disinformation Board** helped spread that lie. The outlets that claim to oppose disinformation all employ or rely on the Security State ghouls who lie more than anyone. https://t.co/PVoHbDhDih — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Not one of these outlets that spread this CIA lie with the purpose of manipulating the election outcome - not one! - has acknowledged the proof of authenticity, let alone retracted. How can outlets that did this posture as anti-disinformation crusaders? https://t.co/6YgJDDoii9 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The worst, most egregious and most nefarious official US disinformation campaign in years was the pre-election CIA lie that the authentic Biden emails were "Russian disinformation." It was led by liberal outlets: CNN, Politico/Natasha Bertrand, HuffPost, Mother Jones, Intercept. https://t.co/h3Exzd8YLJ — PolitiTweet.org

@Modelmed8 @matthewstoller Which major national media outlets were controlled by non-oligarchs prior to 1996, and who were they? Seems pretty expensive to fund national TV networks and major printing presses with thousands of reporters, so which were the national outlets owned/run by middle-class families? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@matthewstoller The dominance of Google and FB in ad revenue and other trends you write about and focus on are obviously new. What's not new is billionaire control over the dissemination of news. When is the last time major national media outlets were owned by non-oligarchs? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All of that is the inevitable outcome of the embrace by Western left-liberals of the need for censorship of the internet by both corporate giants and the state. They invent euphemisms for it, but there's no denying that censorship is a core liberal cause. https://t.co/UyjXUME1Uk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A pro-Bolsonaro march yesterday in São Paulo featured internet freedom as a major theme, opposition to online censorship, and celebration of Musk's free speech vows. It's tragic that free speech -- for decades a core left-wing value -- is now perceived as a right-wing cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the primary attacks on Obama from the foreign policy establishment, neocons, and the Hillary-led interventionists was he was too eager to avoid confrontation with Russia, did not want to arm Ukrainians, hamstrung CIA from overthrowing Assad, etc. All forgotten history: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond billionaire-controlled liberal outlets, two of the platforms where left-liberal commentators most thrive and self-enrich are YouTube and Twitch. YouTube is owned and controlled by Google. Twitch is owned by Bezos. Left-liberal platforms are suffuse with billionaire money. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The only difference between Musk and all the other billionaire-controlled media outlets: Musk claims to oppose the prevailing censorship regime that has consumed Western discourse, while all those outlets support censorship. Musk/Twitter is a one-issue controversy: free speech. — PolitiTweet.org
