Milking this "Good Greenwald Gone Bad" narrative is not only more grist for their substacks, it also serves to obscure their own inability to identify a lifelong cryptofascist taking ordinary, right-wing, libertarian (white supremacist) positions for twenty years.
He was always - at best - an "America First" libertarian. But mostly a rightwinger. It's really not complicated.
Being shameless hacks means never having to say you're sorry. Just pivot and keep moving.
Literally just a burning clown car of punditry.

"Eoin Higgins on how *a onetime radical* has become a Fox News conservative"

I couldn't be any less interested in any two people on earth's takes on Glenn Greenwald.
Higgins tried to call a general strike on twitter in a week's time - before Trump's inauguration - and when I told him he was an arrogant dipshit who didn't know what the fuck he was talking about and couldn't organize a PTA bake sale that quick - he blocked me for some reason...
And I didn't mean that to disparage PTA bake sales. Organizing that shit is work.
Anyway, I've been spared having to suffer whatever that Higgins dork has been up to ever since - but every once in awhile I see something like this podcast and am ecstatic that I got that block then.

I have been back in El Salvador, in so-called "Bitcoin Beach" itself - for two entire weeks - and I have not observed a single Bitcoin transaction.

Not one.
Not at the pupuserias, not at the little stores and mini markets, not in the restaurants or bars and not even at the one fancy place I went.
Maybe they're using it at the fancy hotels? I don't know. I don't go to those places.

I fucking hope it does long-term and irrevocable damage to "police reform work." That's the fucking point.
One reason shit popped off in Minneapolis:

All their trendy "reforms" were already in place *before* police murdered George Floyd. People had already seen bias training, chokehold bans, bodycameras, "warrior cop" training bans and even prosecutions of cops.

Nothing changed.
Derek Chauvin was a product of their most creative and progressive "police reform." That's kinda the point.
