Cornel West, Black socialist thinker, once said Obama was a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface”. Greenwald basically has the balls to point out how this is true of almost all leading Democratic Party officials — there’s a bipartisan consensus that the military-industrial complex has to be fed, the Wall Street bankers appeased, and the huge multi-national corporations helped out — with the addition that he also has the stones to add that they now have put up the ugly Social Justice Warrior cult as a front over this to get the plebs to fight with each other, and even target (relatively) innocent people as “terrible enemies and horrible people” just because they disagree with them for having conservative or politically incorrect views.

He basically calls out liberal journalists on their whiny shit, double standards, and hypocrisy, such as how they went overdrive into turning basically into outright Soviet-style propaganda during Trump’s presidency (because “anything, any smear or lie, is justified if it’s against Bad Orange Man), even though he, Glenn Greenwald, himself is a devoted leftist. He points out parallels between the targeting of Islam after 9/11 and the targeting today of conservatives (“the threat of White supremacist domestic terrorism”), or, in simpler words, calls out the new domestic war on terror. He calls out the majority of Big Tech and mainstream media outlets having become arms of the Democratic Party, basically. He calls out the ACLU not having the balls to stand up for what should be the most obvious civil rights issues when it applies to conservatives. In other words, the ACLU will very rarely apply their supposed love of civil rights to obvious cases of conservatives’ civil rights being violated, or civil rights issues that apply to the conservative side more (such as the right not to get the COVID-19 vaccine). He calls out Democratic hypocrisy and totalitarian tendencies, such as about not really allowing any dissent on the issues of lockdowns, masking, vaccine mandates, etc., and Democrats thinking it’s some sign of evil or idiocy to give rational cost-benefit analyses of their policies towards COVID-19 that disagree with how firm they are about some of it, such as by fucking up the lives of children who are about as likely to die from a lightning strike as they are from COVID-19.

He points out how privileged liberal journalists are often very whiny, malicious people who think they’re being targeted when people disagree with them, or when they face some harassment, but hypocritically turn a blind eye when cancel culture outright ruins the lives of some people with dissenting opinions.

Was that enough? Basically, he infuriates them for so intelligently pointing out their flaws and hypocrisy, so they smear him with, “You’re supporting evil Republican cultists now.”
