I think he is one of the best mainstream author/political thinkers in the US offering hope and clarity and the basic sense. He lives with his partner in Brazil.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville

👍🏽👍🏽Public outrage has been bought and misdirected since the sixties from my point of view. When the “March On Washington” was discussed by those who were angry the plan was to MARCH partly because by the time disgusted individuals got there they would be twice as angry and create havoc but that was easily remedied by renting buses so that the people who were not even able to ride them where they lived would be pacified and coddled by the illusion of luxury. This was especially true for the leaders who were comforted financially. I don’t have the proof that you have but my gut is my proof. Diverting the collective energy with band aid solutions is also a truly effective way of making sure that the power stays in place. The same tactics are used today especially since the internet has allowed for constant diversionary tactics. You are inspiring!!! Thank you

I was raised in a Nixon/Goldwater/Reagan/Ayn Rand household in the hometown of Nixon but I was born a liberal. I was the only kid in my Whittier school who would not put on a ubiquitous "Nixon" button 'cause even as a 5th grader - I WANTED KENNEDY! I also languished in the suburbs coughing up that LA smog blood before Nixon gave us the EPA. I had ZERO exposure to LEFT WING politics unless you include Bob Dylan. Maybe that was it? Maybe Dylan's lyrics in the early 60s plus reading Malthus and Ehrlich, ducking under our desks in case a nuke went off, and my high school history teacher giving us a lesson about how Russia uses specific brainwashing techniques to brainwash their citizens leading me of course to wonder if our government was doing the exact same to us?...Maybe it's a little genetic too? And then there was Vietnam.

Unfortunately what Greenwald is talking about at the time of this interview, has become the norm, even here in supposedly "egalitarian" countries of Scandinavia. A small group of people are shielded from prosecution by the only instituition that has the power to do so, thereby not reaching decisions by the courts. It does not help that the same institutions are equipped with an army of minions that implement laws and regulations that further encroach on civil liberties on the rest of us. This propensity will surely lead to civil war eventually.
