      1. Last week @EoinHiggins_ & I talked about @ggreenwald, which provoked this tweet. I took it as a challenge & sat down with Greenwald to "say this to [his] face."pic.twitter.com/YPtLy4z3S3

      2. In the even, Greenwald and I had a spirited discussion that took up the history of "America First" (from Charles Lindbergh to the Birch Society to Pat Buchanan to Trump) as well as anti-immigrant nativism (from Henry Adams to Tucker Carlson).

      3. If I had to find a theme in our conversation, I'd say Greenwald really wants to bend over backwards to give Trump & Carlson every benefit of the doubt as putative advocates of anti-interventionism & pro-worker policies. I see no reason to accept their rhetoric at face value

      4. In any case, I'd encourage people to listen to our conversation, it's a spirited but civil disagreement on fundamental issues. It ends with the revelation that we've kept Oliver Stone waiting.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-greenwald-strikes-back?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …

          it's striking to me that he kept framing criticism of fox and tucker as them "wanting to create a society in which white people were socio-politically advantaged" (paraphrased) as if such a society hasn't already existed for centuries.

          This was really good. While I agree with all of the criticisms of Greenwald and love seeing people dunk on him. I think these conversations are very necessary, well done

          Striking how he ends with the hoodie anecdote talking about "seeing something other than the darkness in somebody's heart", missing the point about his blindness about structural factors
