1. So, the CIA intersectional ad has been getting some polarizing reactions (Left: look at this shit, the right: oh, no, the CIA is woke, some liberals: actually it's good CIA is anti-racist).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X55JPbAMc9g …

3. We actually have a great historical precedence on this since the original CIA of 1947-1968 was heavily invested in shoring up what was called the non-communist left (liberals in USA, social democrats in rest of world). That was NOT because CIA was progressive.

A naive understanding...from Glenn Greenwald?!

I'd say that calling this "naive" is being very generous. Seems just very dumb to me

He's not saying "the woke left is running the show". Nothing about the CIA's true beliefs are implied. He's saying the woke left has power to make CIA do this silly dance (to court them).

It isn't all symbols either. There are probably plenty of people in the CIA who can be fired over tweets, yearbook photos etc.

Hegemony such a dumb word in this context. Not all power is hegemonic and the "cultural left's," woke or otherwise, can hardly be that! GG confuses anti-racism with the redistributive, regulative, and legislative power that, historically, makes left politics strong or weak.

This doesn’t read as naive at all. The tweet implies (correctly) that the cia is only doing this for cynical public relations purposes.

I don’t know, I feel like Glenn is one of the few cases where I don’t immediately fall to “never assume maliciousness when stupidity or naïveté will do.” No one is that consistently dumb for so long after being so smart.
