Check off the keywords one by one because he hits them all. Hunter Biden, Russian disinformation, hallmark of tyranny, Russiagate, the list goes on. You can’t just play bingo, you play blackout instead.
Interesting that he cries about all his Hitlerjugend friends being censored, but doesn’t lose a single word about the US locking up Chelsea Manning for 7 months to extort a confession out of her or Assange’s extradition trial and the torturous conditions under which he is held, or Unicorn Riot being taken down for their BLM coverage, or all leftist subs on reddit either being mod-couped or banhammered, or systematic state violence against climate protests all across the imperial core, or the ongoing smear campaign in German media against anybody speaking out for the global south in general or Palestine in particular, or the astroturfing on an unprecedented scale that targets the PRC, or the completely lopsided coverage of unionization efforts in the US, or any of the other disinfo, suppression and censorship campaigns we’ve recently seen against the left. All of these happened during the same timeframe as the trivialities he lists in his rant, yet all Fash Brownwald cares about is if he can cough his viral payload in the face of an immunocompromised person or if he’s allowed to stalk and harass trans people.
I hope he accidentally impales himself on top of an anthill, that lousy little ratfaced fascist grifter.
Unicorn Riot being taken down for their BLM coverage
No fucking way, unicorn riot was taken down for BLM coverage? On what grounds?
Pretty sure they were taken down / deplatformed during the uprisings before later eventually resurfacing on their own hosted platform.
I remember the WOKE stream got taken off of Twitch for a few weeks. They were running an immensly popular stream which had anywhere between 4-12 different live streams from various locations mashed together into one feed. They’re not affiliated with Unicorn Riot, but they often had Unicorn Riot’s streams on display.
Some of the Unicorn Riot journalists did receive a treatment of CS gas and rubber bullets though. I think Niko got shot in the leg.
I wish this bastard the most painful monkey pox infection on his rectum
Ooh, that’s really homophobic. Could you possibly rephrase that?
I had forgotten he’s gay, that does indeed sound awful. I’ll curse him with something else instead.
“Attempting to unite state and corporate power.”
Welcome to tge status quo of capitalism Glenn glad you could finally make it, it has only been this way since like the 1640’s.
Almost the 100 year anniversary of this classic poster.
Took a look at spotify’s “recommended for you” podcasts earlier today and on the top of the list is a ton of true crime alongside jordan peterson. Only podcast I’ve ever listened to on spotify is :the-podcast: . If big tech is trying to silence these guys they’re doing a terrible job ngl
The Russians amplify that stuff. Go check it again, I’m curious to know what’s on there now that nobody falls for that crap anymore.
Reading his thread, he’s not entirely wrong. Many MSM journos are informal agents of the liberal regime and democratic party apparatus. In a sense, they can’t afford not to be. The Murdoch press and a number of reactionary outlets like breitbart and Infowars have reduced the state of discourse to mere propaganda, and when you can’t raise the bar you need to sink to meet it. So they’ll play up the threat of rightoid online forums and use a kind of condescending righteousness in the name of censorship.
Kiwifarms deserved to be scrubbed from the internet, but any mechanism that can accomplish this deserves scrutiny and accountability. I hate to get all slippery slope and all, but the same liberal media that will advocate for Kiwifarms censorship will advocate for the censorship of any non-MSM avenue. I am writing this on a forum that exists because a subreddit got obliterated for leftist speech! Would any of the talking heads care that the Internet be purged of this site and any other that gave a feeling of assembly to those it would consider dangerous for being left wing, “tankie”, or controversial? Glenn might be lost in the sauce, but I do think he’s got a point here: there is a prerogative within corporate media to blinker the bandwidth of discourse and to to accomplish it they are willing to destroy and sanitize the internet, and furthermore this censorship will be done under the cover of sanctimonious pretenses.

Kiwifarms was a huge threat and it’s good they’ve been deplatformed.
Greenwald frequently only raises concerns like this when it affects a right-winger.

sure, but that doesn’t relate to what happened here. kiwifarms wasn’t some kind of alternative media or political discourse, it was an online platform for fascists to organize acts of stochastic terrorism.
Kiwifarms deserved to be scrubbed from the internet,
I’ll say it again, Kiwifarms deserved to be scrubbed from the internet. I don’t regard it as a free speech issue at all to shutter a forum used as a venue for SWATing people or targeting them with violent harassment. That being said, who determines what gets to be online is not currently a democratic or non-ideological process, and so we should examine how and what gets erased, what gets to be on the internet.
Is Glenn being a crank about this? Absolutely.
