TLDR; I don’t like Glen Greenwald because he is not a republican but he still disparages left wing talking points.
Yes, it's like he dismisses Greenwald's essay out-of-hand without addressing any of its points /s
Or explicitly refers to him as a blogger when Greenwald describes himself in the bios of his Substack and Rumble pages as a journalist /s.
TLDR is right, you didn't read it.
I've never seen a single argument against Greenwald that doesn't reduce to boohoo he disagreed with my faction.
> There are some small problems with Greenwald’s case. For example, it is not true that “nobody” is “clamoring for a ban on cars.”

Well, that counters only his claim that policy makers aren't psychopaths. They increasingly are, as we can see from various car bans in the EU. The same can be said of several Covid 19-related policies - it's no longer about the (incorrectly) perceived cost-benefit advantages of those misguided policies, but about crushing opposition and achieving obidience.

The only mistake GG makes in his article is when he claims there are no psychopathic tendencies among American voters and politicians influence Covid-19 policies.
