Journalism dies without journalists policing bad journalism. Science and academics also die without scientists and academics policing bad science and academics. These endeavors are a direct result of a concerted effort to fight misinformation. I think you need to develop more sophisticated ideas of information policing. The ideas you have ultimately amount to looking the other way while the frauds take over. Think about transparency, accountability, and relying on sister organizations around the world, to establish integrity in these fields. I think if you had better critical thinking education you'd have better solutions to epistemic problems.

You can ignore, but you can't choose not to listen. Ears don't work like that. Also, ignorance has its limits. Ignore cries for help, or claims of fraud, and you can get yourself thrown in jail for that. Speech around business contracts, consensual romantic relationships, matters of the court and legislature, are all highly regulated. I agree there should be a forum where speech is truly free - but that same forum is a place where speech can't be taken seriously. There's a give and take here. Do you want to be taken seriously? Then you need to accept accountability for abusing speech. Rights come in conflict with each other, and speech is often the right that's the most civilized right to curtail.

This is one of the best 40 mins discussion on respect for free speech and tolerance in a pluralistic society that I have listened to. Very insightful and should be heard by billions. Thanks for inviting and talking to Glenn. In recent times, he has become one of my most trusted journalists and one of the most consistent defenders of the rights to free speech and association. Glenn helped me to see the inconsistencies of many conservatives and right wing influencers as regards defending the rights to free speech and association. Glenn has also been consistent in fighting the neocons and warmongers in the US and the world at large. We need more peace and less wars in this world and Glenn has been on the right side of history. He, Michael S., Saggar of BP, and a few others have truly been more consistent defenders of the rights to free speech and association and hope you guys continue to work together. We need more defenders now more than ever. Keep it up👏👏👏👏👏

It's a completely dysfunctional position he's taking. The kind of freedom of speech that's practiced in America is apparently compatible with a total absence of credible journalism. It's compatible with fraudulent economics, and fraudulent psychology. It's compatible with local governments denying all rights to the homeless, for example. American Liberalism is 100% compatible with slavery. It's a defunct ideology that's been repeatedly refuted, and effectively made unconstitutional with the civil war amendments. You want to know what the actual issue is? Your rights aren't worth anything unless you're willing to hold public officials accountable for denying them. They're also not worth anything if public officials have granted themselves the right to ignore anyone without an attorney. Liberal rights are not a new thing. Start talking about holding public officials accountable, and you'll make those rights accessible to the people that actually need them. Don't look for political wisdom from American Liberals and Libertarians. They're routinely in violation of their own laws, and without rule of law, you don't have any protecting against rights abuses whatsoever.

The _"Visibly Jewish"_ guy in London (Gideon Falter) totally was trying to cause trouble though. He's a powerful Israeli activist who has campaigned to ban the protests.

But he was just trying to prevent violence between opposing groups.

greenwald is my favourite journalist, i think, perhaps after taibbi. but the casual "a study has now proved that 99% of these protesters were perfectly non-violent" is asinine. there is "a study" to show anything one wants to show -- including, lately, that cowe farming is supposedly carbon-positive, funded, as one might expect, by boviculture conglomerates. i am on the UT campus, which certainly did not see anything close to the worst of these protests, and i personally witnessed two obvious assaults in one single heated afternoon. free speech is fine, even when people are saying asinine things. but hysterically emotional mobs are awful, and *obviously* they invite violence, even from those who would in any other context never dream of perpetrating it. let's not rely on ideologically weighted "studies" to hagiograph stupid kids doing stupid things, even when we want to defend in principle their right to do them.

I agree with Glenn on most things but not the idea that government should break up monopolies. The long history of regulatory capture by corporations should provide ample evidence for this. The monopolies that do need to be broken are the central banks, especially the Federal Reserve Bank of the US (the Fed) which prints money at the behest of the government, creating the not-so-hidden regressive tax of inflation that most harms the working class and anyone trying to save for the future.

He touches on an important concept. “Counter protests” should not be allowed against protests that are permitted. Cities and law enforcement need to understand this. OTOH, protests on private property without permission, or without permits should get no such protection. In fact, those protestors might be culpable much like robbers are culpable for damages they did not intentionally create during their robberies.

Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Glenn Greenwald discusses the recent shooting of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico and the media's rush to assign political motives without evidence. - Greenwald emphasizes the importance of not making assumptions about the shooter's motives until concrete evidence is available. - He highlights the tendency of people to attribute political motives to acts of violence, which can often be due to psychological issues. - Greenwald discusses the pro-Israel bias in the United States and the impact of social media on shaping perceptions of the Israel-Palestine conflict. - He points out that while social media allows for more diverse voices, it can also distort reality through selective anecdotes. - Greenwald argues that free speech should be protected even when it makes people uncomfortable, drawing a line only at physical violence and direct incitement. - He criticizes the conflation of anti-Israel sentiment with anti-Semitism, noting that many Jews are part of pro-Palestinian protests. - Greenwald discusses the hypocrisy of some right-wing free speech advocates who support censorship when it aligns with their views, particularly regarding Israel. - He defends his own consistency in supporting free speech, citing his history of defending unpopular views, including those he personally disagrees with. - Greenwald attributes the current trend of censorship to a cultural shift where people expect to be protected from uncomfortable ideas, extending from college campuses to workplaces. - He criticizes the rise of the "disinformation" industry, which he argues is a tool for political censorship disguised as neutral expertise. - Greenwald calls for breaking up big tech monopolies to ensure a competitive market for ideas and prevent centralized control over information. - He suggests that government should stay out of internet censorship but could play a role in ensuring transparency and fairness in how tech companies manage content. - Main message: The defense of free speech must be consistent and principled, even when it involves protecting views one finds disagreeable, to prevent the rise of authoritarian control over information.

Those who are offended by other people's speech have no right to speak because their speech may offend other people.

Hey that "visibly jewish guy" was trying to get an anti semitic reaction for his camera crew, and if you watch the other footage you can see the police telling him that he can't walk against the flow of the crowd, he failed to get his anti semitic click bait and the best he could do was get the police who were just trying to prevent trouble to say something inept

I've been reading Glenn Greenwald since 2005 and my trust that his point of view is independent and prioritizes human freedom and flourishing has only increased with time.
