Honestly I feel like learning anti-imperialism is a prerequisite for proper radicalization in the US, otherwise you end up a “social-imperialist” like the most liberal Bernie Sanders supporters, a neo-Strasserite Trump-supporting union guy, or a lumpen crypto trader praying to Andrew Yang for neetbux.

The American Conservative and The National Interest are both consistently better on foreign policy (for wrong reasons) than Jacobin and The Intercept.

Being wrong is forgivable. Hedging on whether right or wrong is more personally profitable is not.

I think he took a side eventually, like around the time of that debate where they tried to accuse Sanders of being a sexist.

But yeah I agree broadly speaking.

Sadly this is nothing new for him, Ryan Grim regularly falls for the latest imperial lie, he’s definitely drinking from the US foreign policy consensus Kool-Aid on China and HongKong.

I feel like when you work at The Intercept, you are legally only able to use your brain for reporting, anything else you can’t.

Turning Jeremy Scahill from an investigative journalist who US generals threatened to assassinate into an obscure podcaster alone is proof that the Intercept is an op, deliberately or not.

Nope, Glen Greenwald thought he needed a billionaire to back it, and they immediately began to fill that place up with climbers from NYT, WSJ, Boston Globe and WaPo…

i don’t know about “consistently good” but I think GG’s takes are very ideologically consistent. Whether you agree with his framework or not he almost always applies his ideology consistently, and full disclosure I tend to agree with him more often than not
