In reply to the discussion: Greenwald calls-out the dominant Brexit narrative [View all]Cal Carpenter
(4,959 posts)You are right that the dominant narrative is strong here on DU, it is simplistic, and most criticism of that narrative is treated as siding with xenophobia, nationalism, RW mentality etc. I am happy to see that some are trying to look at this in a more nuanced way.
I may not agree with everything Greenwald is saying, but I'm glad he is saying it and it is being posted here. I also noticed some threads about Brexit in the Good Reads part of DU with articles by Yves Smith and others who are looking at this more clearly without partisan blinders.
I think here, in the US, especially during an election year, we get so caught up in binary thinking that we can't conceive of a third (or fourth, or fifth) angle on anything. It's a shame.
Thanks for posting this.
