What evidence do you have the Glenn Greenwald wants a strongman?

If anything, he has been attacked by numerous 'strong men' (in various governments!) over several years.

Greenwald is a vocal and consistent anti-institutionalist, and this creates the conditions for strongmen to take over. Whether he is aware of having this effect is not relevant.

[alejohausner]

He criticizes the military-industrial complex. Don’t you think that’s an institution worth dismantling?

Greenwald supports both Putin and Trump, for starters.

He's either insanely clueless, a propagandist who is being dishonest about his goals, or an accelerationist who thinks making things worse will make them better after (magic happens here).

The magic never happens. Any political program that boils down to (1) break everything, (2) magic, (3) things are better, really goes (1) break everything, (2) either things stay broken and you end up a failed state or someone worse takes over.

"Greenwald supports both Putin and Trump, for starters."

I'd really appreciate it if you backed up this claim. If anything, I've seen him be sharply critical of the current administration in the US. I'm unfamiliar with his coverage of Putin.
