The fact that you’re proposing we silence the person that revealed the mass US surveillance state that we’re living in.

I said nothing about silencing people. I said anyone that’s educated wouldn’t give a shite or pay attention to what any political commentator has to say.

You’re a fricking moron, and don’t vote next time.

I’d bet every dollar in my wallet that you and I have voted identically in every Presidential and Congressional election as long as we were both over 18

You’re one of those uniquely uninformed and stupid voters that should have their right to vote stripped away, but I won’t do that in the name of our constitution.

And likewise, you are easily the most misguided and emotionally driven male I have ever encountered in a political context. What of it?

While telling a poster to not post about things you don't like.

Laughable that you think you are educated and people like Glenn Greenwald should be ignored. That’s a joke right? If not, what an embarrassment for anyone who graduated with the degree you had. They look at you like the Boston College Economics department must think of AOC.

I think their medium should be ignored, not their substance. Yes, I believe we have to reign back in the internet’s influence on political discourse.

Please, let’s bet. I’m willing to bet you’d get it wrong.

Ok. List your votes then

That if you think we should ignore one of the greatest free speech advocates and journalists in our age that you’re a fricking idiot.

What exactly is it that you think things like this will accomplish?

I respect you as a poster on this site and generally agree with most of your positions. I don’t understand how you don’t understand that the solution to much of our current problems lies in eliminating or systematically ignoring the negative aspects of modern political discourse.

I’m not your enemy.

Glenn Greenwald believes he is safer living in Brazil under Jair Bolsonaro than he is living in the United States. What does that say about the banana republic we call "the land of the free"?

Greenwald exposed Snowden to the world and radically shifted the way people think. I suspected the government was doing stuff like that before, but Snowden changed the world. No, Greenwald is one of like 5 journalists actually left. He has to be protected. There’s a reason Tucker has Glenn on twice a week despite the fact they agree about nothing but free speech.

---

I disagree with nothing in this post. Do you know what will be immediately disregarded by everyone who doesn’t already agree with the substance of Greenwald’s reporting?

Anything he says on Fox or a YouTube video. Beating the party drum and/or preaching to the choir holds no merit for me.

Anyone can be ignored. That's the listener's choice. Banning them from speaking is not an equivalence.

Yup.

The same government that says "you don't need privacy, if you're not doing anything wrong" will put you in jail for applying that principle to them.

I think Glenn is the most important journalist living right now.

He very well could be. However If whatever he reports is only captured by Fox and/or channels on the internet, it will be ignored and ultimately of no consequence.
