Alternatively, you could argue that maybe Greenwald when writing about Brazil is doing good work because he has a first person perspective about a country in the grip of an authoritarian whose views are particularly threatening to GG because of his sexual orientation. Whereas when he writes about the US, he argues from a detached accelerationist perspective that letting it all burn down is good because it gets rid of the security state he so detests (and not, I might add, without reason). But this detachment in this case does not do his writing any favors, because it both glosses over the very real harm being done by this burning down, and takes a massively over-optimistic view of accelerationism as a strategy.
