Within the framework of liberal culture, it is difficult to avoid observing that Chappelle protests like the one in Minneapolis entail overwhelmingly white liberal activists trying to silence one of history's most brilliant and successful Black comedians: https://t.co/xedGPWXDVw — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisCWright1 I've been writing about, speaking about, and reporting on censorship and cancellation of Israel critics for years. I continue to do it as I just demonstrated to you. Your claim that I don't talk about it is false. https://t.co/MqAV5GNPdx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChrisCWright1 I not only talk about that constantly but have probably done more reporting on it than any other journalist. My reporting is why you know about it. In fact, I mentioned it just a few hours ago. I mention it all the time. Otherwise, excellent point. https://t.co/RouXxzwr85 — PolitiTweet.org

@JeremyBeckham Many of the activists are complaining that the show wasn't fully cancelled, and are attacking the theater even for noting where those who bought tickets can see the show instead. There are also planned protests aimed at those attending the show at the new venue. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the 1980s, it was the Moral Majority and social conservatives on the right who routinely objected to shows by artists and comedians, demanding that the shows be cancelled or banned on the ground that they "cause harm to the community." Now it's the left that does this.✊ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This theater in Minneapolis booked and promoted a live show by Dave Chappelle. Activists objected, demanding they cancel it because the show "harms" them and puts them in "danger." The theater capitulated and apologized for the "harm." The show will now be in a different theater: — PolitiTweet.org

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 No, I did not meet with or speak with him there, nor did he invite me to that conference. You're doing great so far. Do you have any other false claims or implications you'd like to share? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 I was paid nothing to attend that conference. I'm very interested in the privacy and anonymity potential of blockchain, which is why I've been interviewing people about it, and attended that conference for no fee. People who have no convictions think everyone is similarly plagued — PolitiTweet.org

LOL. Amazing: https://t.co/WNIJN4JlgR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@axidentle @ericzachary1977 Yes, and Rachel Maddow makes $30 million a year spouting DNC talking points. Hannity has been at it for decades. The newly rich in media are the ones who spent the last 6 years calling Trump the Orange Hitler and Putin's bitch. Anyone motivated by money would be doing that. — PolitiTweet.org

@sunsetrs @ericzachary1977 For awhile, "the left" in the US - to the extent it existed - meant being a Bernie follower. But in 2020, Bernie told them all their highest duty was to fall into line as Dems. He got the Chair of the Budget Committee for it. Now they're lost: basically just Dems, but resentful. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ericzachary1977 People have been claiming that I'm moving right or whatever long before I left the Intercept. The number one highest-earner on Substack - by far - is a history professor who writes every day about the evils of Trump and the GOP. She makes millions. That's how people get rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NashvilleGal80 If you look at polling data, you'll see that's not the case, and that's precisely why liberals are increasingly so angry toward members of marginalized groups. They think they're entitled to this servitude and they no longer have it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ericzachary1977 I don't claim to have left anything. About six hours ago, I wrote a thread about how Jeremy Corbyn is one of the most unfairly vilified people in all of politics. People like you just get confused by those who don't plant themselves in one corner and just stay there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MrWestCoastCat Yes, I know - neither party recognizes the splits and factions in the other. Democrats think everyone in the GOP except Liz Cheney are monolithic fascists, and Republicans think all Democrats are "the far left." She just means "Democrats." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ericzachary1977 People motivated by money would just stay smack dab in the middle of liberal politics, spending all day calling Trump a fascist, Nazi and Kremlin stooge. That -- along with branding as an AOC/Bernie cheerleader -- is where the money is, how media people have enriched themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Few things are uglier than what liberals say and do toward members of the marginalized groups they believe they own when such individuals reject their decrees and pieties. They see it as a betrayal of what is rightfully theirs, and the bigotry they invoke as noble and earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals really do believe they are so enlightened and evolved on social justice issues that they own all marginalized groups and the members of them, to the point they think they're entitled not just to lecture you about them but use bigoted tropes against those who reject them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

At some point, as enough people point this out, even Democrats are going to have to recognize its truth. Nothing guarantees the violent unleashing of bigoted tropes like Democrats attacking a member of a marginalized group they believe they own, but who refuses to stay in line: — PolitiTweet.org

@f_f8008f_f @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw You're very confused. It's harder to for public figures to win defamation cases but not impossible. It just takes actual malice: like publicly accusing a gay man of fucking children, all with no evidence. https://t.co/Zf1zFDLRYT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jason_April Half of Senate Democrats -- including the most powerful ones such as Kerry, Hillary and Biden -- voted to authorize the war in Iraq under Bush. People like Gaetz were demanding withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan under Trump. Trump started no new wars. I know it hurts to accept — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmauricea @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw I think it's possible for liberals to criticize gay men who "antagonize" them without reliance on the age-old tropes of gay men as pedophiles and predators -- especially since they claim only conservatives do this -- but liberals think they own everyone in marginalized groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@f_f8008f_f @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw Yes, I would absolutely sue into complete oblivion anyone who uses age-old tropes against me and my husband by accusing me of pedophilia. No 1st Am absolutists, including the ACLU, thinks defamation is free speech. Unfortunately, only anonymous liberal cowards spread this. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomvonclef @nickgillespie @reason @TuckerCarlson You're using a screenshot of a tweet that is ripped from its context of a long thread because you copied it from a person who is a lying smear artist and did it deliberately, and you're too lazy to check the context while thinking you understand my point. https://t.co/U1yXNnuwtn — PolitiTweet.org
