If his response to almost every disagreement didn't devolve into exactly this, i'd have more sympathy for that argument. It's not at all situational

His response is that b/c the same stupid shit keeps getting spewed, as it has here. You just do not like & cannot substantively deal w/ the fact that he's a gay Jew, & in an inter-racial marriage w/ black kids. The "he's a white guy" is quickly shown to be obscenely stupid. Deal.

my point is it doesn't matter what the argument is; glenn always goes to the same devices: you're just arguing w/ me to raise your own profile; i'm in more danger than you, which makes me right; you're a coward

but if you can tell me how the fact that he's a gay Jew, & in an inter-racial marriage w/ black kids means that michael tracey didn't actually say that the nazi threat is non-existent, and how wrongly claiming that he didn't is actually a plea for nuance, go off

because i see it as an argument from authority in an attempt to veil the fact that defending what tracey said is deeply stupid, but glenn can never just cop to having been stupid

Greenwald should have objected to the absolute of "non-existent" from Tracey, but was right to defend Tracey's larger point about how this alarm over Nazis is misused.

Do you agree that the day-to-day threat posed by lightening strikes is virtually "non-existent," even if the threat is not literally 0.0%?

Terrorist killings in the context of their increase, with a supportive POTUS in charge, are not comparable w/ lightning strikes. (You know what terror is meant to do and does to target populations) You should reconsider digging in on that word to protect your correct larger point

Average number of lightening strike deaths annually in the US: 51 Number of Americans killed in incidents of “white supremacist terror” in the US in 2017, the year this moral panic went fully haywire: 4

I disagree that concern about white supremacist power and violence is always to participate in a moral panic. Not when their numbers are increasing, profiles rising, and their POTUS is POTUS.

I don’t think it’s “always” a moral panic but the hyper threat inflation, especially in regard to the “terrorism” element, has all the hallmarks of a classic moral panic
