@tmbhmltn @310toLigma “The election of the first woman prime minister in a country always represents a break with the past, and that is certainly a good thing" -- @HillaryClinton, on the likely elevation of Giorgia Meloni as Italy's first female Prime Minister: https://t.co/b5D1ju6J1Y — PolitiTweet.org

@jman37297 The article makes no mention of Trump. The WPost article strongly suggests it began under Biden. But as usual these days, the first people to show up defending Dems are those with red roses and "socialist" in their bio. Bernie/AOC told you to be loyal Dems, so now you are. https://t.co/zcokB1EGcZ — PolitiTweet.org

One of the reasons I found CIA's manufactured hysteria over "Russian interference" so laughable - other than CIA's own behavior -- is the Snowden files revealed how Obama's US Security State, along with the British, covertly manipulate populations online: https://t.co/NicDecu3gx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In fact, if I'm reading this NYT article correctly, these online Pentagon influence operations "were similar to how Beijing often spreads disinformation" and "resembled the methods used by Russia to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election." The US does this, too? 😲 https://t.co/EK4Ad0AHrL — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter and Facebook suspended numerous fake accounts which were spreading propaganda and disinformation to support US foreign policy and the US Security State. Turns out these fake accounts were created and controlled by the Biden Pentagon😱. https://t.co/8lA24LQ1RJ — PolitiTweet.org

@310toLigma It's just some light mockery of how neoliberals wield these identity politics labels when it suits them to do so, then quickly disregard them when it doesn't serve their interests. — PolitiTweet.org

@brunograndis @igorcg O argumento da UE e de seu presidente neoliberal e autoritário sobre por que tem o direito de ameaçar os eleitores italianos é que esse partido é fascista. Acho que a presidente da UE e qualquer pessoa que a apoie e suas táticas (como você) são fascistas. Isso não é complicado. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@igorcg @brunograndis Então o PT foi injusto todos esses anos ao chamar Alckmin de fascista, racista, golpista e culpado de genocídio? Isso era apenas retórica política sem seriedade que eles não queriam dizer? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@igorcg @brunograndis Por exemplo: o PT passou 20 anos chamando Geraldo Alckmin de racista, fascista, golpista e culpado de genocídio por assassinar manifestantes com a polícia estadual de SP. Mas se os brasileiros decidirem votar nele para Vice, acho que ele deveria ser empossado. — PolitiTweet.org

@DamonLinker @ryanlcooper LOL. I honestly think there's no more loyal Dem partisan in media than he (maybe Chris Hayes). And Bernie himself, with AOC, has faded into the Dem Party woodwork, which is what has left that version of the "left" so lost. Can you identify a single view of mine that changed? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@casepov So you believe the Biden DOJ is allowing a *confessed pedophile and child sex trafficker* to walk the streets free? If I were you and believed this, I'd be protesting outside the DOJ. That'd be an incredibly evil thing for the Biden Administration to do. — PolitiTweet.org

In Oct. 2021, we produced this video to assemble the mountain of polling data and other quantifiable evidence demonstrating how Democratic Party loyalists and liberal activists are now classic authoritarians. They are what they accuse others of being: https://t.co/YihjSNPgJn — PolitiTweet.org

I can't stress this enough: at its core, Democratic politics is about criminalizing opposition to their party and ideology. Dissenting ideas are "disinformation" and must be censored by Big Tech. Trump voters are inherently criminal ("insurrectionists") and should be imprisoned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a perfect illustration of how authoritarian so many Democrats are. This Democrat doesn't know or care why career DOJ prosecutors decided the evidence was insufficient to prosecute Matt Gaetz. What he knows is that Gaetz supports Trump, and thus wants him imprisoned: — PolitiTweet.org

@brunograndis Quem apoia isso é um fascista por definição (ou, seja, vc): https://t.co/XxS6jv3Be3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@brunograndis Você apoia a UE autoritária e neoliberal e depois chama outras pessoas de fascistas. Pior: quer a UE seja capaz de ameaçar países sobre como votar. Além disso, não sei se é burro ou se é um problema de linguagem (ou ambos), mas você não entende minha referência "primeira mulher". — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mcorte20 Why are you lying? I've constantly condemned censorship in Brazil to the point of enraging many Brazilian leftists who believe "free speech" is a fascist value and who want Big Tech American billionaires to police political speech in Brazil. https://t.co/LCDPbIfgEY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sammyadams01 Have you ever asked yourself why the Brazilian government tried to prosecute and imprison me but no government has ever thought for one second about wanting to prosecute or imprison you? As you claim I support Bolsonaro, do you wonder about this? https://t.co/eqIQA32RdV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The world's dumbest people -- literally -- are those who can't distinguish between "I oppose censorship of Idea X" and "I support Idea X." Here's its close cousin: "I oppose EU interference in Italy's elections" = "I support the party the EU dislikes": https://t.co/ZxxSc4OYDD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BradMossEsq Not sure why, but sometimes I forget how genuinely stupid you are. Opposing censorship of "idea X" doesn't mean I'm defending "idea X." Opposing EU interference in Italy's elections doesn't mean I "favor" the party disliked by the EU. These are basic reasoning principles. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@apagliar Leaving aside the promiscuous use of "fascism" to mean "anyone to the right of me whose views I dislike," she's not "sounding the alarm" about Italy's candidates. She's trying to interfere in their election by threatening EU sanctions if voters vote against her favored candidate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just as in the US, EU neoliberals who prattle on about "democracy" and who glorify themselves as defenders of "democratic values" mean only one thing by "democracy": total submission to their will. Ideas they dislike are censored. Voters who defy their orders are punished. https://t.co/O4Iz0tgvwf — PolitiTweet.org

This is why so many validly despise the EU, why so many supported Brexit. There are few things more arrogant, condescending, and authoritarian than Brussels bureaucrats. Imagine being an Italian and being commanded by someone like Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen on how to vote.👇 https://t.co/9ww63wrNCB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Italy is on the verge of an election that will result in its first-ever female Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. One of Europe's most authoritarian politicians, the unelected EU Commission President @vonderleyen, is threatening to sanction Italy if its citizens vote for her party. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sakitechonline @TaylorLorenz Thank you for expressing a view that I share about the excellence of Chris Hedges' work. He has repeatedly expressed his view of my work and it's the exact opposite of the one you hold. Hard to reconcile that for you: https://t.co/3xF1rRtqUD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Ryansdubya @jg2988 @TaylorLorenz Lula has been incredibly gracious about acknowledging the work we did. His last letter from prison was to me; he wrote a WPost op-ed on the work we did; and repeatedly condemned the attempts to prosecute me. Your claim that I said or implied that "Lula is evil" is a deranged lie. https://t.co/ukw7wEHDTN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jg2988 @TaylorLorenz Getting Lula out of a prison through investigative reporting -- and then being prosecuted for it by a right-wing government -- is a really weird thing for a "conservative grifter" to do. https://t.co/D9qi8xTR6a — PolitiTweet.org
