Where did he move the goal posts? From the article...
>Indeed, a Parler executive told me that of the thirteen people arrested as of Monday for the breach at the Capitol, none appear to be active users of Parler. The Capitol breach was planned far more on Facebook and YouTube
The tweet you linked shows a post on parler dated November 16. That's not evidence the poster was an "active user of Parler". In fact, it suggests the opposite. All we know is he made one post in November.
- dralley 6y agoThe "viking guy" who has been talked about probably moreso than any other single rioter is and was active on Parler. https://web.archive.org/web/20210106213432/https://parler.com/profile/JakeAngeli/posts https://web.archive.org/web/20210106213432/https://parler.co... https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-breaking/2021/01/11/jake-angeli-arizona-seen-us-capitol-raid-fur-hat-horns-federal-court-hearing/6625619002/ https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-breaking/... So this claim is trivially falsifiable with even the most minimal journalistic effort.
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoHe's not listed as part of the 13 people charged by the DoJ. It's possible that he was arrested later. But Glenn didn't lie here. So the parler exec probably looked at this list, checked to see if any one of these people used his platform, and found none did. Then he told Glenn. However, more people have since been charged. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/thirteen-charged-federal-court-following-riot-united-states-capitol https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/thirteen-charged-federal-cour...
- dralley 6y agoThe entire point was silly to begin with. Why start doing victory laps over the first 13 people? What's so special about them? Nothing.
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoI think they are some of the more notable characters. That's why they were the first to be identified and then arrested.
- dralley 6y agoOr - Glenn's just trying to be a contrarian again, which has been his shtick for a while now. This post from 2 weeks ago aged like a corpse. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-threat-of-authoritarianism-in https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-threat-of-authoritarian...
- Acrobatic_Road 6y agoGlenn is absolutely right here. If anything, the article needs an update because of all the authoritarian shit (new patriot act, sending rioters to gitmo, etc) proposed over the last week.
- sthnblllII 6y agoYou accused Greenwald of moving the goal posts. You have not demonstrated that. Edit: congratulations drally you win
- dralley 6y ago"I" did not.

- brown9-2 6y agoFocusing on the first 13 people arrested the day of the attack instead of the dozens arrested since doesn’t make any sense or help his argument.
