An interesting piece about right wing crank Glenn Greenwald, his pathological hatred of democrats (in both upper & lowercases of the word) & US extradition laws.

@RedGreenLibre I liked Greenwald back in the Citizenfour days. Was he so goofy then, and I just didn't know it yet? Or is this a recent thing?
@tek well, he seemed to have had some odd politics way back. But it seems more recent that people have been digging up his supposed support of Gulf War, and extreme libertarian defence of Nazis freedom to march in the streets. As with all these things there is a risk of falling into genetic fallacy. He put his ass on the line & with his husband got lots of state harassment. But these days, complete Tucker.
@RedGreenLibre That's a shame. Dang it, Glenn.
@tek I mean look at the way he basically doxxed Michah Lee over the Gab leaks. https://www.thedailybeast.com/is-glenn-greenwald-the-new-master-of-right-wing-media
@RedGreenLibre I remember that episode, and I think that's when I started re-evaluating my opinion of him.
