He is not an anti-imperialist, he would have a much tougher stance on Russia if that was the case. And I don't think being west-skeptic / US-critic is necessarily a leftist stance at this point, the whole point of Trumps campaign was that the west has lost it's way.

butler called hezbollah part of the international left even tho they're a radical religious organization. not that butler is the key to what is or isn't leftist but there's is def a place on the left for groups that hold reactionary beliefs but bc they oppose the evil empire are allies of convenience.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 16:00 (five years ago) link
Butler was wrong, and even then Hezbollah at least claimed to fight against social injustice to be considered a part of the left. Greenwald is just droning on and on about the media and liberals.

gg believes that neoliberal neoconservative elites in the US are being challenged by Trumpism and that they're the greatest threat to liberty and life on the planet. he is not totally devoid of facts for arguing that POV even if i think ultimately he's deluding himself and inconsistent etc. i don't think he's obviously not on the left. like many on the left he has chosen who the ultimate enemy is and he's willing to make strange bedfellows to combat them.

if Trump is reelected, can we finally identify liberals/Democrats as the obstacle?

Reading this then seeing the article he’s commenting on is pretty funny
The US is one of the planet's most oppressive penal states. It imprisons more of its citizens than any other: for longer sentences, for less serious crimes, and without convictions. It's grotesquely unequal by race & class. It shouldn't take this dubious raid to realize that. https://t.co/qWs5DOcaA8— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 31, 2019
