We're at the point where we also arrive in these cycles. If you object to the attempt to silence Rogan, then you will be instantly tarred with the same brush used to try to destroy him: You're a racist, anti-vax, etc. etc. That's the enforcement mechanism to keep everyone quiet. — PolitiTweet.org

Read what Orwell said about why censorship in the UK during the war was so much more effective than the overtly autocratic regimes that just imprisoned dissidents. The British don't have to: they have their compliant media unite to punish and destroy the reputation of dissidents: https://t.co/9iFk2pe8LQ — PolitiTweet.org

@BlkTrip I spent my life defending censorship and working against free speech, but then last year I realized censorship was bad so I changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jeffjarvis You're the reason people despise both liberals and elites and I hope you keep making clear how authoritarian you are because the backlash will only be more potent and intense when you do. People trust and listen to him, not you, and, like all little men, you can't stand that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The power derived from controlling the flow of information is immense. That's why every tyrant and authoritarian wields censorship power. Tyranny can't exist without it. And as Orwell and Chomsky have both said, the most effective form isn't jailing dissidents but doing this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every major institution is united to destroy Rogan, including the WH. The Press Secretary -- speaking on behalf of the US Govt -- demanded Spotify do more to stop him, and this is treated as normal and benign. Ask Julian Assange if *effective* dissent is permitted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It was only a question of time before the all-out war on Rogan began. He's way too big and off-key to permit him to keep going. The concept of free speech in the US is a mirage: you have it right up to the line where it matters or can threaten power centers, then you don't. — PolitiTweet.org

@OscarAJimenez2 @IlhanMN It's not remotely a clear statement against US involvement in Ukraine, but being generous, it's more of a step in the right direction than any other Dem by far, so I noted it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just as she was one of the few Dems to oppose a new War on Terror for 1/6, and just as she was one of only 3 Dems to join the GOP in voting NO on $2b more for the Capitol Police, @IlhanMN did this week say similar things on Ukraine as Tucker & Rep. Massie https://t.co/gy1OqLzX9V — PolitiTweet.org

@Surfbortsnail @SDKtheway @Lord_Beerus187 If I give another example, it'll become: but that's from 3 months ago! Then I'll give another example and they'll say: oh wow, 3 whole examples. Then I'll show polling data or a vote (like the vote on the NATO war on in Libya) and they'll say: they did that with bad motives, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Lord_Beerus187 The most-watched host on Fox goes on TV every night to war against US involvement in Ukraine and espouse anti-imperialist principles while not a single member of the Dem Party in Congress does so. Sorry, but those are just facts, as much as they might hurt. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SDKtheway @Lord_Beerus187 LOL - it's always like this: -- Nobody on the right is against imperialism! -- Here's a GOP Congressman saying it. -- That's only one example! Who in the Dem Party is saying that about Ukraine? The whole point is that the most-watched Fox host is saying it every night. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@charlesthomas Exactly: liberals want to imprison journalists even as all press freedom groups and the ACLU warn that the prosecution of Assange is a grave attack on press freedom, and want war with Russia over Ukraine (though you want to send others to fight it). That's the point. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattSmaldone @aaronjmate @democracynow That's a term the Far Right invented during the McCarthy era to demonize anyone criticized the US Government or opposed efforts to run around the world waging wars and engineering coups. — PolitiTweet.org

@pennywinkie @aaronjmate @democracynow That's the irony - while Tucker will air this, Democracy Now never would. — PolitiTweet.org

That's why I didn't get an answer to this and never will. There is no answer. https://t.co/x78qeHHwx4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you don't see the fact that neocons are all migrating back to the Democratic Party because the GOP is home to ample anti-imperialist and anti-militarist sentiment -- while Dems are united in support of it -- it's only because you don't want to see it: https://t.co/HQbkCLTHIi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The left bona fides of @aaronjmate are clear: worked for years at @DemocracyNow, pro-Bernie, etc. Watch the hearing he got last night on Tucker, warning of DC's bipartisan fixation on conflict with Russia: unthinkable on a liberal corporate news outlet: https://t.co/8FVPWfhStr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the past year, Tucker Carlson: 1) repeatedly urged a pardon of Julian Assange, 2) condemned bipartisan scheme for the US to interfere in Cuba and is now 3) emphatically opposing US involvement in a war in Ukraine. Call him whatever names you want. Nobody on NBC/CNN does that. — PolitiTweet.org

Even if you're on the left and you've deluded yourself into believing there's some vibrant anti-imperialism wing among Democrats - which Dems are denouncing US involvement in Ukraine the way Tucker Carlson or @RepThomasMassie are? - this split on the Right is a vital opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These first 3 paragraphs capture the crucial fight taking place on the American right: between classic US war fanatics (necons) and those trying to pry control from them for the GOP. The left needs to deny this is happening because nothing similar is happening among Democrats: https://t.co/g3p1A47tk9 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a great and important NYT op-ed on the raging foreign policy debate within the GOP and American right -- far more vibrant than the lock-step Dems -- and how how the GOP establishment is trying to keep the party pro-war, imperialist and militarist: https://t.co/9AiXzkrIHd — PolitiTweet.org
