This new Alex Jones doc by the same filmmaker, Alex Lee Moyer, debuts in Austin this month. Like her film on "incels," it avoids sanctimony and posturing. Shows the audience why Alex Jones happened. It's fascinating. I'm excited to speak at the preview: https://t.co/gw5yCBUlER — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The best documentaries avoid preaching and shoving pre-packaged beliefs down the audience's throat. They instead do their best to objectively show the phenomenon and its causes, and let the audience decide for themselves (!). @jacobin on "tfw no gf": https://t.co/cqk7cIJrBv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

With any significant phenomenon, one can choose to either to understand its roots or just jump up and down denouncing it. The old left always advocated understanding root causes (crime, terrorism, etc). The new version thinks you should never study or engage with anything Bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Of course a bunch of left-liberals who believe journalists should only speak to left-liberals are upset about this -- that's why their faction is so irrelevant -- but Alex Lee Moyer's film about incel culture ("tfw no gf") was a brilliantly objective study, as is this new film: — PolitiTweet.org

@proud_damascene And my criticism of that Sophie person for demanding Russell Brand not speak to Aaron Mate has nothing to do with her gender, yet you still claimed I was "abusing women." How can you be so fucking stupid as to not realize I'm applying your own primitive, slimy standards to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@4kshatra @proud_damascene This kind of left-wing discourse is so boring and alienating to virtually everyone because of its dreary stupidity: its only purpose is to imply someone is a bigot. Of course you don't mind your friend's vicious abuse and incitement of hatred against LGBT and Jewish journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@proud_damascene You began this exchange by attacking an LGBT journalist for being a misogynist: one of the oldest, ugliest and most destructive anti-gay tropes: all because I criticized a professor who you can't see as anything other than a damsel in distress. Live with your own tactics. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LukeHen14742884 @proud_damascene Another homophobic anti-Semite follower of @proud_damascene rears his ugly, bigoted head. How many are in his army of haters? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@proud_damascene Hey, you piece of shit, you crawled to me to invoke a classic homophobic trope -- that by criticizing a female professor I was misogynistically "abusing" her -- and then when your slimy standards were applied to you, you whine about it. Your hatred for Jews and LGBTs is palpable. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rhonda_harbison @florida_sophia Wow, how bizarre that journalists are paid by platforms to publish their work on those platforms! Have you notified the FBI of this scandalous discovery of yours? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@proud_damascene Glad to see you found time today to abuse LGBT and Jewish journalists on Twitter. I this something you do often? I hope it gave you all the arousal you were seeking. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DustbowlD @jeremyscahill Yes, in Sheeva's case, she died naturally from her battle with cancer, but I've had to make that call a few times and often thought about why we don't make it for humans. I think there are some valid reasons, but I'm always so glad for them that this option exists for dogs. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@clarksthockey Dogs are natural pack animals, so they're usually good at organizing their own social relations. Like humans, they sometimes fail, and there are a few dogs that just can't get along, so you need space and a system for managing that if you're going to have this many. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(I should also note that @florida_sophia outright lied in her tweet about Aaron. She must be related to would-be DHS czar Nina Jankowicz: as usual, the self-professed "disinformation experts" are the ones who most eagerly spread it): https://t.co/qo8u68NvQE — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJCBuckley I'm sorry if you've never one any, but that's not the only one Aaron has won: https://t.co/KedInnbUdK — PolitiTweet.org

@YesDFC Then why do I co-host a Callin podcast each week with a pan-African Communist? Why did I almost go to jail in Brazil in 2020 for investigative work freeing Lula? Why did I interview Evo Morales after denouncing the US-cheered coup in Bolivia? Weird way to shill for the right.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Maté has won journalism awards from his courageous debunking of Russiagate hoaxes spread by establishment media and their approved "experts." She'd never call for de-platforming them. The "disinformation" smear is reserved for independent voices challenging establishment dogma. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The reason @rustyrockets has built a gigantic audience and is more trusted than most employees of large media corporations is precisely because he airs dissenting voices and views not on the approved list maintained by the NYT and establishmentarians like Professor Sophie. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lilitica If you were right, then it's very odd that the DHS and the FBI regard animal rights activists as among the most dangerous threats to the US security, and often treat them as terrorism under laws enacted specifically for that. They seem to be regarded as more threatening than you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dogs, with their shorter life span, gift us even in death, teaching us about how to deal with death. Yesterday also reminded me of how the NYT had to issue a correction on a David Carr column, which misspelled both @jeremyscahill's name, and Sheeva's. https://t.co/RhzL2nLw0w https://t.co/5MIznd4TU3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Having a large pack of rescued dogs at home is one of the most fulfilling and joyful thing we've done. The only downside is dealing with their passing. We lost Sheeva yesterday, a gentle giant we found as a puppy, huddled under a car, 13 years ago. Each dog stays with us forever. — PolitiTweet.org

@SPC_Harry Mass, industrialized animal torture is one of the most important political and personal causes for me so I look for ways to get people to think a bit differently about them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@meme_space_nine There's a radical, even fundamental, difference between factory farms and family farms. Factory farms are designed to torture and commoditize animals in the cruelest, most inhumane ways. Family farms often involve love for and connection to the animals, despite the end. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That the internet's most viral videos so often entail human's emotions for animals of all kinds - not just dogs and cats - says a great deal about our natural relationship with them. If we were just meant to torture and exploit them, we wouldn't feel this empathy and connection. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidManOnFire @StateDept @ABlinken Do, I haven't filed FARA forms yet nor have I told the FBI that I haven't filed them. Please don't tell on me. — PolitiTweet.org

For those of you obsessed with shoving everything into an easy-to-comprehend, simplistic matrix of left v. right, is this message and vote here a left-wing one or a right-wing one? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Meanwhile, @RichardHaass - President of the CFR - is yet another US elite who did a complete 180 on meeting with the Saudis. When Trump did it, it was: Trump must distance the US from the Saudis due to Khashoggi!. Now with Biden, it's: Biden's just being shrewd and pragmatic! https://t.co/5lZsA41ePx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Of course the US has to deal with bad governments everywhere. Nobody disputes this. Nobody thinks the US should run around toppling every bad government. But the Saudi regime isn't some tyranny the US stumbled into. That regime exists only because of US support and protection. — PolitiTweet.org
