@VictorRockyLola That's what Chomsky said in this interview. And I've made the same point many times. https://t.co/7iVTwfIdQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

@licinionmiranda I know. I tried to adjust that in the translation back to English. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hoju89 There are huge numbers of people on the left who mock the cause of animal rights because it would require them to sacrifice personally. I'm not saying that's Chomsky's motive -- he's done plenty of sacrificing -- but that's obviously one of my differences with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@comicaltheories I know. That was one of Chomsky's worst-ever statements in 60 years in public life. I was critical of it at the time (he didn't quite say what you said: he said they should be put in isolation camps, then grudgingly added: I guess they should be fed since everyone deserves food). — PolitiTweet.org

@LAdodgerfanNY How come he wants that? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Chomsky has focused on Latin American politics for decades and spends ample time in Brazil with his Brazilian wife. Note, too, how Chomsky is covered by major Latin American media (Globo). Candidates seek his support. In the US, he's ignored except when useful ("Vote Dem!"). https://t.co/joORdEWhwL — PolitiTweet.org

Chomsky's criticisms do not mean he supports Bolsonaro (obviously). He's a long-time Lula supporter. But he's always tried to be an honest analyst, not a partisan loyalist. Also warned: focus on social issues obscures class issues. He noted massive polling errors. Key passages: https://t.co/Ydz3e6P4zh — PolitiTweet.org

Noam Chomsky spoke to BBC and strongly criticized Lula's party, PT, for relying too much on celebrities and academics and not enough on popular movements, noting Bolsonaro has large public rallies. He also compared PT to the US Dem Party's neoliberalism: https://t.co/gaSv9kW2u8 — PolitiTweet.org

@BelemJameson @rustyrockets @davidmirandario Ainda na UTI. Ele teve 2 semanas de grande progresso, mas agora está enfrentando algumas complicações. É excruciante e difícil e estou online para me distrair enquanto espero para ouvir de seus médicos sobre os procedimentos de hj. Ainda temos grande confiança em sua recuperação. — PolitiTweet.org

In any event, what makes these new programs independent is they report to and work under no corporate structure or corporate management. Rumble is just the platform that hosts the programs. The hosts have full editorial control over content. Nobody can review it before airing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I've previously noted, whenever a new free speech platform begins growing that media corporations and their establishment owners can't control, they begin lying about it to discredit it. The current lie: Rumble is owned and controlled by Peter Thiel. Just a total fabrication: https://t.co/buq00hj5nf — PolitiTweet.org

More details on this new network from the @WSJ. As this article reports, our shows have budgets similar to prime-time cable programs to enable a large staff, live on-the-scene reporting, and sustained investigations. And with total editorial freedom: https://t.co/8Br9yMvdQC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Construction on the new studio set for our soon-to-debut prime-time live Rumble show is progressing rapidly. Incredibly excited about joining @rustyrockets, whose show already debuted, with several other soon-to-be-announced hosts, to further grow this vital free speech platform. https://t.co/4pKLZ0Z3nc — PolitiTweet.org

@ERICEMS @Iamsock @RayyvanaTTV This particular attack from this group isn't political but psychological. These are people who want to view themselves as dangerous radicals, threatening to power. But nobody in power cares about them because they serve it, so they need to malign those who take real risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JeffNotEvan @SethAGinger @quinineeggcream They tried to imprison me in 2020, not 1995, all as you're too scared to spread your accusations under your own name. Hard to find anything more "innocuous" than you and your faction of soft leftists who vote for Pelosi and Gavin Newsom on command. https://t.co/ZNkS6OuL3g — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SethAGinger @quinineeggcream Why am I a target of theirs but you're not? That's the question I'm trying to get you to explore. It will reveal a a great deal about yourself if you look. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RayyvanaTTV We'll never find out because nobody will ever threaten you because you're a harmless Democrat and liberal who is about as menacing to people in power as a fruit fly. The few people who follow you feel as inadequate you, hence the need to malign people who actually take risks. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Iamsock @RayyvanaTTV You're literally too scared to put your real name on your accusations. It's hard to get more pathetically cucked and scared than that. Let's know who you really are and then we compare our respective records of courage and risks. Glorifying yourself while hiding is easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RayyvanaTTV How come he never threatened you with prison? How come nobody ever has? Given what an incredibly courageous and steadfast warrior you are against fascism, how come this never happens to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SethAGinger @quinineeggcream Do you ever ask yourself why the US and UK governments, along with Brazilian prosecutors under Bolsonaro, tried to imprison me, but nobody ever gives the slightest shit about doing anything to you because you threaten nobody? Has that question ever emerged in your brain? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DogOnTheRoof @quinineeggcream I love when people who are literally too afraid to put their real names on their accusations call me a coward, in the context of reporting I did that freed Lula and that subjected me to attempts by Brazilian prosecutors to imprison me. I think the coward here is pretty obvious. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RecreationalAn1 @quinineeggcream I'm a journalist. I don't endorse presidential candidates. I've made my views about both very clear. But since people like to attribute my husband's politics to me, he told Folha in June if the run-off is between Bolsonaro and Lula, he'd dress in red and campaign daily for Lula. https://t.co/MIEJEJgog4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@theculkineffect @quinineeggcream That person didn't ask me a question. He asserted I'm supporting Bolsonaro. As for Christian he's doing great: speaking out with courage, integrity and principle even as he's mocked by left-liberals and maligned by some conservatives. I'm not surprised at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PlasmaEtching Come on. When Moro thought he could be president and began running as a presidential candidate, it was based on a constant attempt to equate Lula and Bolsonaro as similarly corrupt tyrants. He didn't just attack Bolsonaro when he quit but also when he was running for President. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Hordes of liberal employees of gigantic media corporations are going to spend the next week shrieking about the dangers of allowing rich people to buy, own and control the means of communications without noticing -- even for one second -- the towering irony of their concern. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

"If the world's wealthiest people are able to buy the most influential platforms for news and communications, and then own and run them privately, then American democracy will be gravely imperiled." My latest in the WashPost, a unit of Jeff Bezos. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PlasmaEtching And Moro quit Bolsonaro's government accusing him of grave corruption including interfering in police investigations to protect his sons, and now Moro is supporting Bolsonaro. 🤷‍♂️ Ciro's support for Lula is far more tepid than Moro's support for Bolsonaro. Moro despises Lula. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ciro Gomes, the former Governor and Finance Minister, who came in 4th in Sunday's presidential election in Brazil, announces he will support his party's decision (which is to support Lula). But his video is highly critical of both candidates, and doesn't mention Lula by name. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Tullycast @realchrisrufo No, it's doing no lifting. It's just asking people to set aside their views of Chris Rufo's work and evaluate the claims he's making in that thread on their own standing. Why is this so difficult for people to do? Sometimes people whose ideology you think is bad say smart things. — PolitiTweet.org
