How Taibbi and Greenwald are being used by the right

This article points out how Taibbi and Greenwald are being manipulated by the right for their own purposes. And that they seem to be willing accomplices in their fight against wokeness when they "distort the nature of the right to make it appear innocuous." In effect what they're doing "funnels people toward the snake-oil populism of the right."

"The authoritarian right has delighted in the emergence of anti-lib populism. It knows that even if disillusioned leftists don’t join the right, it’s worth destroying their faith in the possibility of building a mass movement including Democrats. [...] The point is authoritarian elements of the capitalist class are cultivating relationships with anti-lib populists and backing platforms that can facilitate the left-to-right-wing populism pipeline. Networks and infrastructure are being crafted."
