"why are you still mad about this, i said i have moved on" is not an apology! actual contrition begins with publicly stating what you've done. he tries to minimize his crimes, calls it 'just a little cyberbullying.' he's not even at the first step of contrition.

he hasn't made restitution to those he's wronged, he hasn't demonstrated that he's changed his behavior, his victims certainly haven't forgiven him. show me contrition and i'll consider not calling him a misogynist shitbag.

If you watch the video of Glenn's interview with the guy, Glenn actually opens it up for him to say "from his own mouth" what, exactly, it is he did and how bad it was and why it was so bad And he fucking ducks it -- he doesn't at any point say "I blackmailed a girl for nudes"

It's such fucking shit It's not worth watching the video, you don't get any information from it you wouldn't get from reading about it But I fucking dare you to watch the video and say this looks like someone who actually seems remorseful AT ALL

When he's asked to say "from his own mouth" what he did, he DOESN'T say it, he immediately deflects onto "My dad was struggling with mental illness, my mom didn't have a lot of resources" WHO CARES SAY IT from your mouth -- "I told a girl to kill herself repeatedly for a year"

When asked "What evidence do the voters have that you've changed?" he immediately brings up how he has the most progressive policy platform of any candidate for the KS House and pivots into attacking Stan Frownfelter for how much he sucks Like Jesus Christ

And when Glenn, who's smart enough at least to understand what terrible optics this is, asks the question AGAIN the best he can come up with is "Well there's no similar stories about me from high school are there" Fucking shit, man, he lobs you this big fat softball and you bunt

If nothing else, watching this video demonstrates that this kid is also a horrible public speaker and he's dumb as dirt This is the most stage-managed attempt to willfully give him positive spin you could imagine and Glenn still has to walk the kid through it step by step

That's not the important thing, of course -- it wouldn't make it any better if he actually were some kind of genius wunderkind But that's why this act from Glenn Greenwald is so pathetic -- this kid isn't your Great Gen Z Hope, this kid is a fucking fluke

It's an unforced error from the KS Dems, Frownfelter didn't take this race seriously and he let the 19-year-old nobody steal a victory from him in an extremely low-turnout race by an extremely narrow margin (823-809) thanks to the shitposters coming out to vote

But Glenn is clinging white-knuckled to it because -- in his fucking words -- a 19-year-old dishwasher beating a dreaded corrupt Establishment Dem is a "fairy-tale ending" Grow up, dude, I have no expectations of you and I still thought you had more dignity than this

the people who most hate "identity politics" are most strongly moved by identity politics, example ten thousand

Greenwald is exhibit A for the fact that there is a HUGE streak of misogyny that runs through mainstream gay culture, tbh.
