Yikes, that’s a bad look.
I think it has zero to do with why you don’t like him, and would be looked over how’s necessary.
But fuck that dude, that’s a bad look.

not defending Greenwald, but I don't understand the "gay couple on TV" line there
Is it just me or has the white men rhetoric been increasing, Ph? Come on dude.
White men are far and away the biggest barrier to progress in this country.
People who get threatened by representation. The standard “I don’t have a problem with people being gay. I just don’t need to see it all up in my face.”
wakelaw, you’re kind of making my point there.
Weird accusation to make against Greenwald, who is gay
perhaps it was targeted at Taibbi — I don’t know much about the guy
I guess because you mentioned them three times in the post by name
[h=3]How To End Up Serving The Right[/h]Journalists Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are known for exposing the crimes of the police, the military, and Wall Street. But they also spout dangerous conservative hyperbole about The Left. What’s going on?
This Current Affairs piece was good. It lays out Greenwald and Taibbi's descent into right-wing faux populism. It is a long read and could have been pared down considerably though. I liked this quote.
“The cases of Greenwald and Taibbi offer evidence for something that should alarm us all: conservative stories about the world are powerful, and even though they often aren’t true, it is easy for people (especially but not exclusively white men) to come to believe them without even really noticing they are gliding away from reality.”
I think it’s very hard for white men to remain advocates for social justice. At some point, they’ll feel threatened and have to make a choice. Maybe it's having a Black woman boss or seeing a gay couple on TV or the Me Too movement or whatever.
would you expect anything else with a conversation with those 3 that every debate point started with "I really want to make it clear I hate the Democratic party, but........"?
