But even acknowledging this, what Glenn is saying is nonsense. If they were charging everyone with this, then yeah, his points kinda make sense. But maybe a couple people got this charge where it's questionable, and maybe those charges will be overturned. But in a lot of these cases, Seems appropriate.

Also, I don't know in what world Glenn thinks 170 convictions out of 890 being violence-related constitutes a tiny number or a small percentage. That's a small percentage? That's like almost 20%. So he seems to just be kind of dishonest and ideologically driven to think that's small.

But the other thing is that, I mean, I really think that what happened is you kind of had YouTube taking action against a bunch of people. You also had some people just kind of shooting themselves in the foot and declining in popularity. But then there was a vacuum. And I do think it was people like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taheibi who stepped into it. And so it's a little bit like less on job opening. Yeah, you know? Precisely, precisely. I think it was a strategic thing. I mean, obviously, I don't know what their mindset was, but like whatever they were doing was clearly strategic because it worked in terms of bringing them fame.

My feeling is that it's going to be Glenn Greenwald doing the softballiest of interviews. Like, not even softball questions, not t-ball questions. Like, he's swinging the bat for Alex to try and get that ball across the fucking plate. That's what I feel like.

So, that's where Glenn goes. That's his first question. After Alex says three times in a minute that he doesn't lie on purpose and that he's right 90% of the time, Glenn decides to open with a question predicated on how Alex was a handsome young man.

That's all good and well, but I'm fairly certain that Glenn hasn't done any of that himself. He's not interested in the reality of what Alex did about Sandy Hook.

He knows that the person he's talking to is full of shit because he just moves on.

He needs access to Alex in order to interview Alex. And if he doesn't do exactly what he is doing, and if he treats Alex with any critical focus, he knows that he's gonna lose that access.

Accountability is really what he's rejecting. Like, you want to pretend that you're a rebel shunning acceptability, but that's a farce. You just don't want to be held accountable for the things you do, and Alex is basically the avatar of that shit.

Everybody has participated in a farce, and then Glenn Greenwald gets to pop the balloon at the end because it's over and everybody gets to go home and pretend that they weren't part of this farce in the fucking first place.

Having spent more than my fair share of time researching the topic, I can say with absolute confidence that Greenwald and Taibbi and anybody else who's not a full-on info warrior or right-wing zealot who says that this documentary shows a complicated and fair picture of Alex, they're a coward who's afraid to look at Alex as he actually is, or they've been tricked.
