i'm so old i remember the days when glenn was admonishing us that despite jeffrey goldberg's pleasant demeanor and tasty holiday pastries, we should never judge him by anything but his beliefs

i'm so old i remember when we understood that people's beliefs were actually part of their character

I agree there's a danger from these kind of exchanges: can breed in-group camaraderie to the point where terrible people/ideas are welcomed because incestuous elite-class loyalties prevail. But the other extreme - dehumanizing everyone with different views - is also dangerous

nah i'm good

You're really cool. That's proven by how you responded. No punctuation, rationale or anything. Just a really casual but edgy rejection of something you haven't read, flavored by a refusal to abide by grammatical rules. I don't know how to engage with subversiveness this smooth.

I'm slowly learning not to read Greenwald's tweets

ah, the wonderful lesson that people with similar upbringings will often times willfully ignore and isolate the worst aspects of people for friendship. what a revelation. hard pass
