defend the indefensible: glenn fucking greenwald

Every day I express my gratitude to the Universe for providing Patreon, Substack and any other platforms that enable a journalist do write and report without having to be subjected to the increasingly repressive and deranged climate prevailing inside liberal media outlets:

Oy veh. Yeah it’s just those Libs

cw: transphobia

Finally, as famed lesbian @kittypurrzog notes, there are now -- among Millennials and Gen Z -- more people identifying as trans than lesbian. She has previously argued that masculine girls are now encouraged to identify as trans, causing a decrease in the lesbian population: pic.twitter.com/stFNHQtLoq

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

hope K4ti3 H3rz0g gets a loathsome disease

"trans men are genociding butch lesbians" is a fuckin take

god I hate these freaks

fuck the Str4ng3r btw

setting aside the dumb terf lesbian genocide argument just being dumb in general the statistics he points out show an increase in the lesbian population

yes the thing that is v funny is that neither glenn nor katie are able to read the graph

and a massive increase in people self-IDing as bisexual, some subset of whom would have presumably been pressured to "pick a side" back in the day

but you don't get Da Clicks complaining about how the bisexual mafia are erasing lesbianism

or what do I know, maybe you do, I am not conversant with every chamber of Famed Lesbian Twitter

the little knowledge i have about bisexual discourse on twitter suggests it is very bad

i wouldn't know though, what is a tweet

Anyway, I assume GG would say "no but you see the relevant question is how many Gen Z lesbians WOULD THERE BE were the youth discouraged from IDing as trans," a sort of Value Over Replacement Lesbian computation

Update 2:50pm
the Brave pundit population has decreased at the same amount that the dumbfuck population has risen

so bored of this trajectory

the bit about bisexuals being in different-sex relationships is some extremely funny "I don't think you fully understand what 'bisexual' means" stupidity

another irritating aspect of mis-analyzing that data: Gallup only polled people 18+ so "Gen Z" only includes people born 1997-2002. Comparing that fraction of one generation to the other full cohorts is misleading (not to mention the obvious differences you'd expect asking 18 year olds about their sexual identity versus 38 or 68 year olds)

Greenwald is flipping out on ppl who called him out on that shit tweet.

Partially by simultaneously throwing H3rz0g under the bus, then by admitting he used her as a shield against criticism.

Fuck this shit bag.

These are major social and cultural changes that are extremely new. I’ve lived as a gay man in LGBT communities way too long to give the slightest shit about bad faith accusations from anonyomous morons like you seeking to prevent any discussion or exploration of these trends.

(some of the clapbacks he got were great though)

I liked how he ignored that there are also more people who identify as trans than as lesbian in the "Traditionalist" (pre-Boomer) generation.

Maybe we can get a fact-check from one of our intrepid and totally non-partisan fact-checkers such as @ddale8, @GlennKesslerWP or @PolitiFact about this glaring, blatant lie Jen Psaki (so refreshingly) told to justify why Biden refuses to even sanction Mohammed bin Salman? pic.twitter.com/0FazuLMHh5

I published a fact check on this false claim yesterday. Good tweet, though https://t.co/siEHpfPd4c

greenwald school of journalism: never write that someone "falsely claimed" when you can say they "claimed -- falsely --"

he's like a Sideshow Bob forever in search of the next rake to tread on

Haha. There's definitely a sneering tone to the latter: "Falsely, I might add!"

Christ, what an asshole.

lmao

he's right, they're national socialists

Socialism is anything you want it to be, man.

Is that a real quote?

he so smart

Is that a real quote?

I'm not interested in this asshole enough to make shit up about him.

imagine Glenn interviewing Sully Erna

"are you doing the best that you can?"
"fucking go away."

“...and I’m the King of Spain!”

I just heard Glenn talking to Virgil Texas and BJG about how Andrea Mitchell being condescending on twitter about Ted Cruz thinking he was quoting William Faulkner when he was actually quoting Shakespeare is the problem with American liberalism.

Is Ted Cruz a socialist.

A subscriber to "free speech" absolutist @ggreenwald's Substack just got canceled after leaving sort of a boring snarky comment at the bottom of Greenwald's latest post. 😂#RIPJimF pic.twitter.com/OdcXd559vP

Good piece from 2010 on this anti-liberalism tendency stretching back into the late 80s.

I do think this is the relatively early stages of a newer incarnation though. Other than an organic crank core previous incarnations haven't had that much success within the wider 'left'. Spiked has outsized presence in the UK due to outside funding, and credulous amplification by the likes of the BBC rather than any genuine presence.

But this seems to me the earlyish stages of something more likely to gain a wider foothold, (previously?) respected figures on board. Populism for populisms sake, where populism is shouting and not understanding things.

The Nazbol Vortex is here, the Strasserite Arc. Tucker hates corporations too! Based!.

Hungry4Ass's first response that Greenwald is cooler than Mordy hasn't held up that well imo

Mordy is way cooler

this guy!

Imagine being the kind of person who, when a woman has the courage to open up about the abuse and misogyny she's endured just for doing her job, seizes the chance to publicly dunk on her for

But you see I was Joking!

It's literally impossible to satirize woke idiocy in a way that its practitioners will know you're doing it, because in their world, the most outlandish and idiotic uses of wokeism are cheered, so no matter how glaring you make the mockery, they still won't see it. https://t.co/nhXQG67cZZ
