If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing (lemmy.ml)

Zei Squirrel is blasting Greenwald as an anti-woke billionaire simp in 2020 I'm not sure what else you would want.

If a single critical post is proof they hate GG, why isn’t a post thanking him and blocking a ton of trans people evidence to the contrary?

As for what else I would want, what I and all the blocked trans people pretty explicitly wanted was just an acknowledgement that he was transphobic. But that’s too big an ask apparently.

You got a post about the Squirrel explicitly attacking Glenn for his anti woke GOP farming. I didn't even put in effort I just searched Glenn Greenwald on their profile. Can you source what claim you're even talking about?

I already told you I’m not digging around in that waste dump and told you how to find it on your own (search for Greenwald’s @, not his name). Assuming it hasn’t been shame deleted.

If you’re going to refuse to believe this thing I watched happen in real time and have talked about with multiple people actually happened unless I find you the links myself, then there’s nothing else to say here. I didn’t hang out in leftist spaces and argue with libs on the fediverse for 2+ years to lead up to a secret anti-Zei campaign, they just piss me off every time I see them because of their shitty past behavior to trans people.

I have never seen the squirrel post about trans people except if it was used for pink-washing or in Glenn's case the opposite, anti-woke simping for billioniares. Unless you can provide me with some incredibly damning quote it feels like you're just grasping at straws here.
