I’ll agree with you that his comment is far fetched. His definition of a “socialist” appears to be more related to non-interventionism.
As you had the courtesy to provide an example I did a little digging too and found that the Intercept did publish an article about Glenn which was not all that positive.
His departure appears related to his belief that The Intercept was “censoring” his political views. https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-resigns-the-intercept/
The articles I’ve read from Glenn from time to time have been accurate but it is good to know that his reporting is very selective.
Which comment of Greenwald should they condemn exactly?
Britain and Zionism name a better combo
Write factually accurate articles with amazing investigative reporting. Should they condemn Hamas Glenn Greenwald at the beginning of every article?

Who isn’t a slave of their government these days? Western country have wagies slaving their life away while the government prints money to make housing unaffordable.
The word slave in this context refers to him thinking that only Chinese people are economically extorted. Not because of their ethnicity but because of their government structure.
Informing a person is a lot more helpful than just flat out banning them.
Do not trust anything the New York Times writes about trans people. Please go verify everything from other sources.
But what about my embedded ad-blocker?
Disagreeing with one of the founders which doesn’t work there anymore means it’s untrustworthy? If you believe The Intercept is a “right wing propaganda outlet” you’d better to cite examples of that than what you think of an ex-employee.
There is no baseless claim it is the only reasonable claim from our current understanding of physics.
Claiming that the universe magically came out of nothing is not an answer to some. It contradicts all of science especially the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Nonetheless you are still conflating Atheism and Agnosticism. These words exist for a reason they mean different things.

Mods are a bit too trigger happy on the libs sometimes. Many are just uninformed and don’t necessarily have bad intentions. This person getting banned seemed uneccessary. Having a discussion with these people would be more beneficial as long as they don’t resort to using slurs.
They seem quite confident as they proclaim their superiority over religious people and cannot comprehend why anyone would be religious.
One could argue Americans are also slaves. Spam lists like this one. Japan is another Asian society with extreme workloads but they don’t get these comments.
The standard of living has massive increased in China over the last 50 years. Their population has been worked to the bone, but it didn’t just lead to nothing. We deem China to be almost a first world country. Often slightly worse but on the upper end of the second world. The rail infrastructure part is an example of what it did achieve which is why it’s weird to “China bad” on that specific post.
Nonetheless I’d rather have seen a discussion than the mods just banning you.

There is a key distinction between these terms. An atheist doesn’t believe in the existence of a god or divine being. The word atheist originates with the Greek atheos, which is built from the roots a- (“without”) and theos (“a god”). Atheism is the doctrine or belief that there is no god.
In contrast, the word agnostic refers to a person who neither believes nor disbelieves in a god or religious doctrine. Agnostics assert that it’s impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.
Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out
They should not have their entire population as slaves
Anyway I don’t think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.
Do explain anything.
