You know who else likes to target the left? The right wing. I really hate all this talk about "right/left alliance" as if it is so natural an idea that nobody can question it without being some "Maddow Liberal" or whatever. It actually makes me want to puke. Left/right alliance? Reminds me of the end of the Weimar Republics, No thanks!
What you've said is part of the problem. You categorize and make assumptions. I didn't say to ally with ALL voices on the right, but to listen and find those with whom you have some agreement. Greenwald has consistently favored respect for the Bill of Right, meaning privacy, speech and due process. Those rights protect us all. He's also consistently been anti-war. What's to disagree with?
I followed Greenwald until he starting sprouting such nonsense as, "Bannon is a Socialist" (though seems to decline such a title for Bannon's carbon copy, and topic of Greenwald's latest book, Bolsonaro). I have been completely alienated by him and his rhetoric which has become so one-sided that it seems to me he is just going where the money is.
Do you think he's making more money now than he was at the Intercept? I was disappointed he stayed with the Intercept so long, but he has been consistent in the ways I suggested.
Perhaps, but can you provide a quote where he proposed curtailment of individual rights, or supported war? I was disappointed that he tacitly went along with what the Intercept was doing such as smearing Tulsi Gabbard, but I don't think he ever explicitly supported it and he finally did break with it when it was no longer tolerable.
I'm not impressed any more by his stances on war and civil rights any more. There are others that express the same things and whom I can respect. Greenwald is otherwise seems to be turning into a right wing crank, and tireless self-promoter. I find it unbearable.
Did I say somewhere he wants to curtail civil rights or support war? He still spews one-sided nonsense that I can no longer listen to. I don't care if he's antiwar of pro-civil rights any more, it's not enough to make him bearable.
Weimar Republic (singular) I mean. Ribbentrop-Molotov comes to mind too. What an awful idea. What's worse, the case for such an alliance was never even made. Us everyday leftists just supposed to swallow this "accepted wisdom." The answer is no.

I think it is entirely possible, even probable at the rate his newsletter costs, that he is making more than the intercept.
