Glenn Greenwald--Shithead

More proof that Glenn Greenwald is a piece of shit. Here he is trying to argue Chasten is a "survivor". Typical Glenn--one of those "both sides do it!" libertarian types. Any gay person who continues to support this guy needs to think clearly.

Read the rest of the thread to see how far Glenn's delusions go.

Link doesn't work, OP.

He's not actually arguing that. He's defending a Congressional candidate in MA who is getting shit thrown at him because he had an affair with a college student when he lectured a couple of times at said college.

R3, are you sure? I thought he could also be referring to his own relationship with his partner which began when they were (I think) 19?

Just glanced at it but reads like an attempt at sarcasm to me.

Is GG the Lesbian on the right side of the photo?

K.D. Lang is now a foreign asset? The world turns quick.

Right, at some point Glenn was attractive, but he looks like wax now.

OP completely missed the point of the thread.

Sarcasm is a tricky device to use in 2020. People are so tipped toward outrage that they don’t think or even read before passing judgment.

He’s saying the left now has a puritanical element that is damaging primarily to itself.

R9, ok, I can see that. If that's what he was trying to convey, I take this thread back :-)

He's right though. Wokism is a cancer on society and will lead to more and more civil unrest in the future. There is no difference between woke activism and hardcore evangelism with regard to its fanaticism, its unfounded truth-claims, and its moral superiority complex.

R11, i know he wasn't saying Chasten wasn't actually a survivor but he could have used his own personal life to prove his point as opposed to someone else's.

Don't forget Michelle was Barack's adviser when he started at Sidney Austin, in a position of power over him. Then he asks her out, which is clearly harassment.

Chasten wasn't a student at a college where Buttigieg was teaching. That's the real issue here, especially if Alex Morse was going against UMASS policy, consensual relations or not. Morse's sexual orientation is irrelevant as is the age difference.

Talk about idiotic false equivalencies!

R14 Well said. It also has nothing to do with "Wokism" of Puritanicalism. I

I find it funny that on the other thread, many posters blame so-called puritanical Americans for being so provincial, and trying to ruin him, as if he is some innocent victim of mob mentality.

Complete rubbish. This happens in the UK at various different schools, and colleges. No one defends the faculty member. He is always unceremoniously removed, and a few people may say, too bad, he was a nice chap, was popular with his students, yet they always see the misstep. As a role model, as a mentor, and as an employee, one must follow the rules. It's quite simple actually.

Geez, OP, you're an idiot.

He was being sarcastic, OP.

by Anonymousreply 18October 29, 2020 8:29 AM

Isn’t he living in that hellhole Brazil or something?
