When it comes to Glenn Greenwald, @noahpinion said it best [1]:

Is there a catch-all term for middle-aged white lefty dudes who are pro-Russia because their political outlook was defined by the Iraq War?

how do we report moderators?

you seem intent on forcing your particular world view on hn than providing moderation of explosive or unpleasant reading.

i find reading all the posts you like to detach often more interesting reading than any of the hn comments that get left over.

What's the supposed link there? Much of my political outlook comes from the disaster of Iraq, but I'm not pro-Russia and I don't see how they would be related.

It's not a matter of GG being white or black (not racially), it's a matter of taking his opinions/writings with a bit of salt, but taking them nevertheless.

As much as Noahpinion is entitled to his opinion, so is GG.

Yeah that's just simplistic enough for lazy centrists who would rather not put into question their absolute support for the status quo and the official "truth". Iraq aftermath already caused enough turmoil for their precious minds, wouldn't wanna rack up the therapist bills by rocking the boat even further.

Idk, sounds sort of agist, racist, and sexist to me.
