The worst is how one-sided this is. Nobody thinks it's valid to blame Bernie or Maddow for Steve Scalise's near-fatal shooting, even though the shooter was their huge fan. Same with a leftist's politically motivated murder of the gay Dutch anti-immigrant politician Pim Fortuyn. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When journalists and activists *assume* the political motives of a killer with no evidence, they not only unjustly accuse others of inspiring murders, but radically mislead the public. This is why millions believe an absolute lie about the PULSE massacre: https://t.co/QxT18SwsSg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We devoted the first part of our @SystemUpdate_ program last night to exploring all the ways this tactic -- exploiting murders and corpses to claim that one's political opponents have "blood on their hands" -- is so intellectually and morally bankrupt: https://t.co/fe6AIwtkHA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Media and political activists instantly blamed their political enemies for the Colorado Springs massacre, even when they knew nothing about the killer let alone their motives. Every ideology has "inspired" violent acts, but this tactic is even worse when untethered to facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Starting in 3 minutes! We think we have a great show planned tonight, especially on this insidious tactic of equating words with violence: to justify censorship but also to blame political opponents for murder sprees in a very one-sided way. Starting live https://t.co/fe6AIwtkHA — PolitiTweet.org

TONIGHT, 7pm ET on Rumble, a new live episode of @SystemUpdate_: We'll examine the increasingly common sociopathic tactic of blaming mass shootings on one's political opponents. Plus: Bernie's sad capitulation on war powers in Yemen, with @SocialistMMA: https://t.co/fe6AIwtkHA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dems have massive power over FB, so this "request" to keep Trump banned is inherently coercive. Censoring the internet is not some ancillary belief of Democrats and their followers. It's one of their central planks, paramount objectives, core and defining dogmatic beliefs. https://t.co/ncfOmoLr5L — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Democratic Party is urging Facebook to continue to ban one if its primary political adversaries, Donald Trump, from the planet's largest internet platform. Imagine if this were done in one of the Bad Countries we're supposed to hate: think how tyrannical it would seem. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not a fan of this person but credit where due: it contains some very worthwhile research on how SBF's political funding "influenced" - i.e., purchased - the opinions and acts of multiple media outlets and Democratic politicians. Some of it's dubious but it's overall solid:👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read about @TulsiGabbard's revealing interview with the host of the most-watched cable news show in the history of the medium, @TuckerCarlson, where he explains the rise of independent media and how it's rapidly replacing collapsing corporate outlets:🥳 https://t.co/qoiku01COC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll be on @rustyrockets's live Rumble show today at 12 noon ET. Super excited at how this new live network on Rumble is growing. The audience sizes are going to surpass most cable shows very shortly. Corporate journalists know their ship is sinking: https://t.co/S2aRd7liAs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But if you're going to insist hateful rhetoric and unified online attacks endangers people - and it's thus immoral even when done to powerful political and corporate actors - how can they watch themselves spew hatred at their enemies every day and not realize they do this most??? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But honestly, what I don't understand is the utter lack of self-awareness of these people. Journalists are expected to go to war zones, risk prison from governments, be targeted by corporate power. These people can't handle mean tweets and want the world changed to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But this is the problem. These coddle left-liberal journalists never face any persecution. Why would they? They're harmless servants to power. Their schools protected them their whole lives from hearing criticisms. So now they interpret adult critiques as violence and truama. https://t.co/3S0zVACLEj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Seems weird to hold yourself out as some sort of expert on political discourse online, then not only block anyone who utters a peep of criticism, but also block a member of Congress who is unfailingly civil and substantive because she criticized you. https://t.co/5Vx0DM0JAR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@raleedy @NancyMace It was a typo, I promise, but since it's Twitter I know people will rush to claim I'm lying. But I love grammar, weirdly, and am always happen when people correct it and want to talk about it. It's an important tool of communication. It was my favorite thing about studying German — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We'll have @RepNancyMace on our @SystemUpdate_ program tomorrow night to discuss this and issues related to Big Tech and censorship. But note: The Supreme Ct has long warned how dangerous it is to try to ban speech on the ground that it *can* incite violence. All speech can: https://t.co/Ow4SOVgLwR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All freedoms have costs. Barring the police from searching homes without warrants makes it harder to catch violent criminals, etc. Yes, free speech can radicalize and incite hatred. But as @RepNancyMace shows, it's so often the left-liberal censors who most use hateful rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Somehow, one of the most relentlessly hateful and dishonest people on this site -- @Esqueer_ -- has become a cited expert because she became Twitter friends with @oneunderscore__ & @TaylorLorenz. She and Lorenz lie about her credentials (calling her a "Harvard Law Professor: 🤣). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a brilliant exchange by @NancyMace yesterday in Congress. There is a tiny group of hateful left-liberal fanatics whom have been arbitrarily dubbed "Online Safety Experts" and constantly warn hateful rhetoric incites violence. Yet they're the most hateful people around. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@celinegounder So sorry for your loss. That's a beautiful tribute to your husband and marriage. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This person works for the planet's 2nd-richest man and went to Swiss boarding school, yet constantly talks as if she's a low-paid hourly worker just getting by as a cook for a homeless shelter. She also has more corrections appended to her articles than most people have socks. https://t.co/8p3lTl8YvP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever else you want to say about @BernieSanders, there's no denying he's an extremely good and loyal Democrat -- as he still, just from old habits, wears the "independent" cape. A real party man: https://t.co/2NdDUO64Ko — PolitiTweet.org
