    is this the Glenn Greenwald? When did a jounalist who helped reveal the Snowden leaks turn MAGA dipshit?

      He’s been big on promoting Russian government talking points for a while now.

        Yeah I think this isn’t the first time I read some questionable statement from him :/

      Also the same Glenn Greenwald who repeatedly talked about the danger he was in because of what he reported on the U.S. government… while safely living in Brazil.

        To be fair, Bolsonaro would have extradited his own family for the right price.

              Greenwald complaining that the U.S. would come and get him at any moment. Long before Balsonaro was in power.

                Mhh… Bolsonaro came to power in 2019 - Greenwald being worried about his safety in Brazil wasn’t on my radar before, but then again I would not exactly consider Brazil a country safe from CIA hitmen. But I just saw that Greenwald lost his husband in late spring 2023, so that might explain his going ga-ga. Mourning does things to some people’s minds. :/

                  This was when Snowden leaked all the info to him, which was 2013. He spent like 3 years regularly saying his life was in danger. It was not.

                    I would say just the fact that someone didn’t get murdered is a very weak argument to claim their life was not in danger. In other words, I think your assessment is less likely to be true than his.
