Proud Member Of "The Glenn Greenwald Left" Here.

[stupidicus]

74. yep

those that I'd apply those labels to aren't part of the dedicated "third way" crowd, but rather those who for various reasons oppose the efforts of those like the "GG left". I'm inclined to think based on the volume and content of the material I've read here, that most of them fall into the "gullible" camp, which is why they grab and hold onto efforts like that of Cesca's I presumed your effort here was in response to. They are easily persuaded (or put on that appearance anyway) by anything they can use as a means to keep their hopes/desires alive that the criticisms are either completely unfounded or unjustified in extent. Unlike us, they are stuck on the first stage of grief http://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/ and wanna avoid the rest of them. Speaking only for myself, as a OWS preemie I passed through them all decades ago now. That's why I'd be curious to know the average age on both sides of this conflict, because I'm guessing/betting that our adversaries are on average, more than a bit younger than us, and see all this through quite different "prisms".

In terms of the pros like journos and others where there's a link between their job security and this kinda stuff, I think you have a valid point, but I was confining my observations to the participants here on DU allied against us on this issue.

have a good day, and thanks for pleading our case as you did.
