I'm sorry, & I say this with love in my heart for my friends at The Intercept - but Greenwald was always this way. He was always a racist, always held authoritarian sympathies, and always acted as a boot polisher for Putin & pals. You just refused to see it till it was too late.
When Greenwald was endorsing chemical weapons denial conspiracy theories in Syria, publishing articles with Assad defenders, raising money for pro-Assad bloggers - people just acted like it wasn't happening, even though it very clearly was.
Greenwald going full fash was inevitable. It is the inevitable conclusion of nearly every story that starts with dictator apologism. Almost nobody ever walks away from that once they start down that path, and if they do, they do so having lost most of their soul in the process.
