I think we should be careful how vociferously we come to the defense of Greenwald. He is at best an opportunist aligned with anti imperial aims coincidentally. TERF Island is full of bad takes and I don't think our breadtube boys here are taking the most nuanced position, definitely room for criticism.
But as an assessment of Greenwald I don't think he's far off the mark. I have deep misgivings about him and don't like that he ends up saying similar things to the left right now, I think it's a potentially destructive situation for us. He's a grifting hack.
I dunno, maybe I need to kill my heroes. Are Shaun and Hbomb NAFO-ing on the rest of their media? Alice from
is pretty vocally pro-Ukraine too. I still listen though. I dunno, I think a lot of these folks separate NATO from Ukraine in their minds. Maybe that's naive of them but it's the vibe I get from Alice at least.Greenwald is a broken clock. He's right sometimes but almost always for the wrong reasons. Took me years to realize that and it's embarrassing in retrospect.
Regardless of the politics of Red Brownwald, we must always push back against the tsunami of historical revisionism that liberals and their breadtube ilk have been pushing lately.
It’s not about defending right-populists, it’s about defending against liberals.

I don't think it's aligning with fascists to call breadtubers on their bullshit. I'm obviously not going to defend Greenwald but I don't want to just let it slide just because he's the broken clock that said it.
But I think that is specifically part of why I'm nervous here. I don't have twitter, I don't actually know why Glenn is talking about this right now or what exactly he is trying to say. He is, in this specific screenshot, saying something vague and kinda true if I want to be charitable to him. Why is he saying it though? What point is he trying to make actually?
Reactionaries coincidentally say things I would agree with in the right context all the time.
Shaun tweets very little about international politics outside of the anglosphere, and aside from culture war videos he produces very useful ones like a critique/debunking of the idea that dropping nuclear weapons on Japan was in any way justified or necessary for ending the war or limiting casualties.
