@EllenFantasmic @felipeneto Pretty hard to argue that the US goes to war to end dictatorships given that many of the US's closest allies, which it props up with arms and weapons, are some of the world's most savage despots, starting in Riyadh and Cairo. — PolitiTweet.org

The Huffington Post in 2017 published an article by constitutional scholar Bruce Fein headlined: "he United States Should Withdraw from NATO." You know what that means. cc: @FBI https://t.co/LbY1edsgoF — PolitiTweet.org

And again, just to illustrate how much more open and permissive the debate over Ukraine is around the world, here's one of Brazil's most influential YouTubers and commentators, @felipeneto, asking a question which, in the US, would prompt instant "pro-Putin" accusations: https://t.co/NHOSeHE4qo — PolitiTweet.org

@johnondrasik @DemSocialists Yes. I mean far more than usual. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the @DemSocialists statement. I'm sure many would disagree with some of these claims but it's perfectly reasonable, and if you can't express this minimal dissent without being smeared by top Democrats and the WH as a Kremlin agent, then the climate is toxic and warped. https://t.co/CZONwNWLR2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

🤣 In case you doubt that anyone who deviates from the mandated consensus instantly gets smeared as a Russian agent or apologist. The DSA statement was reasonable (see below); its crime was that it criticized NATO. Hence it must be "pro-Putin." The WH also attacked DSA. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a good thread that, with evidence, shows that so many of the most shared and viral stories either lacked any evidence, were of doubtful veracity, or were outright false. This account has been very balanced, skeptical and cautious in its analysis: https://t.co/FRDuLoFebb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A huge portion of the viral stories that people spent the first week mindlessly passing around -- many of which ended up ratified in major media outlets -- either had no evidence, reason to believe they were false, or were debunked. Again, no matter your views, this is dangerous: https://t.co/4JYcpg2e5M — PolitiTweet.org

@BurroughsHuck You're not allowed to examine history to determine if alleged principles have been applied consistently or universally to one's own side (ie whether they're genuine). People have been programmed to recite the online cliché "whataboutism" to bar this inquiry as inappropriate. — PolitiTweet.org

@rlbarreto You think there's doubt about my view of mass censorship? I talked about this very issue last night on Fox and explained why I'm so against it: https://t.co/4qgmSKDfP5 — PolitiTweet.org

I realized during Russiagate: history repeats itself because so many who didn't live through it don't know what happened. After 9/11, every dissenter was called a traitor. @davidfrum & @Liz_Cheney built their career on this. Exactly what's happening now, but so many don't know.👇 https://t.co/k7s7ZaHYx1 — PolitiTweet.org

Russiagate single-handedly rehabilitated them all, and when they re-migrated back to the Democratic Party, their reputation was completely rehabilitated. They also have millions of new admirers who either don't know their history or don't care. Neocons are stronger than ever: — PolitiTweet.org

@Andrew21x @fbfsubstack You're a trivial, cowardly Twitter troll hiding behind a screen name, while accusing one of the world's bravest whistleblowers - who risked life in prison to reveal the truth - of being a coward. Hard to imagine anyone more worthless or cowardly than you: https://t.co/KouTfNOkY1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All humans are susceptible to propaganda. It's most potent when about war, and when -- as now -- the societal consensus is close to absolute. It's vital to hear, to seek out, alternative ways of thinking. I highly recommend this analysis by @fbfsubstack: https://t.co/pwg3AtL3F7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even if you're certain you have apprehended the moral dimensions of this conflict, that only takes you so far - as was true of 9/11 or Saddam. Especially with calls for no-fly zones, regime change and "crippling" sanctions, vital debates remain, which require space to question. https://t.co/VCJJ82mDLj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every useful or pleasing claim about the war, no matter how unverified or subsequently debunked, rapidly spreads, including by US news outlets, while dissenters are vilified as traitors or Kremlin agents. No matter your views, having falsehoods ratified is dangerous and harmful. https://t.co/oGTt8dTnz8 — PolitiTweet.org

@blasphemachine I'm hired by @CartaCapital right this moment. I get frequent offers from magazines and sites to write or produce other journalism. But the independent sites where I do journalism not only reach a far larger audience but also permit full editorial independence, so I always say no. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimHannan @NachoSlave777 If stopping this murderous dictator is absolutely vital -- we can't wait -- why aren't you over in Ukraine fighting instead of sitting on Twitter claiming I'm paid by the Kremlin? They give out free guns over there; go get yours and get to work. — PolitiTweet.org
