      Interesting Glenn Greenwald piece from 2005 saying that protests against George W. Bush in Brazil coming only from "a small, fervent band of left-wing fanatics with crazed enthusiasm for the worn-out, socialist/collectivist policies"pic.twitter.com/p2cnXqWB05

      Glenn's turn from an initially right-wing position in the late 2000s has always been a pretty public origin story whatever one makes of it; I remember reading this piece in like 2013 when he was controversial for publicizing Snowden. I don't really see how it's an own?

      The issue is how he conducts himself *now* - not even so much the "what" of his contrarian bait but the style of presentation he goes for, which seems to needlessly alienate/antagonize allies on his left and flatter pretty lukewarm potential supporters on the right.

      I think it's pretty salient right now because his current anti-anti credulity to the lab theory/bioweapons stuff calls to mind the same habits of thought that led him to be such a passionate supporter of the worst foreign policy decision of the last 50 years.

      Bioweapons seems like a stretch, but isn't pretty much the entire scientific establishment and Biden administration turning toward anti-anti-credulity on the lab leak theory right now?

      Biden administration is but the scientific consensus hasn't really changed (i.e. thinking lab leak is possibility but needs investigation & far from certain). And strange to see GG stand up for Biden!

          In many ways Biden is a great fit for the IDW contrarian types, I am surprised more haven't bluepilled lol
