    I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence. I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

      I was curious about this and it turns out it is true. Greenwald is employed by Rumble (in a prominent position) which seems to be a video platform for pro-oligarch and pro-crime Americans.

      Rumble is funded by Peter Theil and JD Vance.

      He really is a lowest common denominator shill.

      Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

      I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

      The whole post and reason for it is about the video…

      Weird people on forums hahaha.

      I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.

      All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.

      It seems the divide and conquer strategy still works really well.

      Glenn Greenwald is not a perfect person, but we cannot deny his great work as a journalist, his work with Snowden, and his continued integrity with his show, System Update.

      Is the problem with him political tribalism, maybe due to him not supporting your preferred party (duopoly, blue or red team), or the distractions from the oligarchy (culture wars and identity politics, instead of focusing on addressing our society’s systematic economic issues)?

      I think he is worth uniting with.

      Quick info. about video:

      Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy [01:11:59 | OCT 30 2025 | Behind the Bastards]

      Generated Summary:

      Main Topic:

      The video, “Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy,” explores the early life and formative experiences of Peter Thiel, aiming to understand the origins of his controversial political views and actions.

      Key Points:

      • Peter Thiel’s Background: The hosts discuss Thiel’s upbringing, including his birth in Germany, his family’s move to Cleveland due to his father’s work in the oil and gas industry, and a subsequent move to Namibia (Southwest Africa) where his father worked at a uranium mine during the apartheid era.
      • Family Influences: The video touches on the differing accounts of Thiel’s parents’ political leanings (Republican vs. Christian conservatives) and the impact of a specific childhood conversation about death.
      • Early Personality and Interests: Thiel is portrayed as an intelligent but somewhat isolated child who excelled academically, enjoyed chess, and was deeply immersed in fantasy literature like “The Lord of the Rings” and Dungeons and Dragons.
      • Libertarianism and Anti-Communism: The video highlights Thiel’s development of libertarian and anti-communist views, influenced by Ayn Rand and the political climate of Silicon Valley.
      • Experiences with Bullying: The hosts discuss how Thiel was bullied as a child, which may have contributed to his misanthropic views.
      • Emphasis on Education: The video emphasizes the pressure Thiel felt to succeed academically and attend a prestigious university.

      Highlights:

      • The discussion of Thiel’s father’s involvement with a uranium mine in Namibia during apartheid, drawing a parallel between Thiel’s childhood and a “supervillain origin story.”
      • The anecdote about Thiel’s intense reaction to losing a chess match, even a scrimmage, suggesting a deep-seated need to win.
      • The characterization of Thiel as a “wizard” figure by his peers, someone who was admired but also seen as fundamentally separate and unknowable.
      • The mention of Thiel’s later-in-life interest in anti-aging research and technologies.

    Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal imperialism.

    I hope one day he meets the same fate as “Donbas cowboy”, Russell Bentley:

    Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

    According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

    Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

      I understand why the highly emotional response; we all have our subject that is dear to us. Mine is the Palestine genocide that is funded and fully supported by my country, the United States.

      Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal

      I would implore you to stop only consuming Western pro-war propaganda and check out people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

      He outlines, in simple terms, the events that led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Western push to also antagonize Iran and China.

      Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy, nor do they help our society; we must always be critical of our governments and the politicians (paid-off lackeys of the owner class, oligarchs).

        Sashs and Greenwald are russian shills and support russian gencidal imperialism.

        Neither of them speak Ukrainian or russian (and have never lived in Ukraine or russia) and are merely reciting russian propaganda narratives (at times directly sourced from russian security services).

        There is a beautiful irony in you chimping out about “echo chambers” and self-censorship when you can’t even read Ukrainian or russian.

        If you could read russian, you would find that their doctrinal government writings on propaganda approaches (from the 90s no less) specifically cite idiots like you (it’s something along the lines of the “useful idiot” term, albeit the texts go into more detailed descriptions) and shills like Sachs as a core area for foreign propaganda distribution.

          Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray’s desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can’t talk about.

          I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.

          I don’t need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.

          More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.

          Edit:

            Wonderful irony that you can’t even get the term Palestinian right (the individual initially said Pakistani).

            You are so concerned about the plight of the Palestinians, that you can’t even state their nationality correctly. 🤣

            I have to say, thank you for the entertainment!

            There is a reason russian propaganda manuals explicitly cite individuals like you as a perfect vehicle for propaganda and undermining foreign countries.

            You don’t know jack shit about the Ukrainian or russian working class and about Ukrainian/russian oligarchs.

            Can you name one Ukrainian oligarch without a web search? Russian ones should be easier, but I bet you would struggle to name three.

              Having misspellings and typos is your concern…

              Weird, but you do you.

              FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit…

              Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.

              We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.

                I did edit it, but I didn’t mistake Ukrainian for Uruguayan. I merely added some more content; how you can’t cite a single Ukrainian or russian oligarch.

                Confusing Pakistani and Palestinians is not a typo.

                You clearly don’t care about the Palestinians and are merely using them for your aesthetic purposes (extremely common among fake leftist Americans).

                I am done here.

                  Thanks for the small chat!

                  We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.

                  Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.

                  All is well, Peace.

      Political tribalism works.

      We must stop falling for the divide and conquer strategies of the duopoly (lackeys of the oligarchs).

      “I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass

      Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.

      This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.

      This is some degenerate propaganda.

      Turns out Greenwald works for Peter Theil (via Rumble).

      It is likely Greenwald is likely to trying to have his cake and eat it. Extract money from both sets of marks.

        I don’t agree with the way they think; it must be a boogeyman (bots, puppets, troll).

        Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy; we must be willing to continue learning from those that don’t think like we do.

        Peace.

      A generated summary is included in the body.

      I can’t help you more than that; I thought I made it easy enough to know what the video is a bit about.
