So I’m assuming that Sinclair will be demanding that Tucker apologize and donate and that the FCC will be threatening to cancel his podcast.
I am floored that I agree with that piece of shit, but… here we are.
What a weird time to live in.
Tucker is scared because kimmel and other media personalities are getting nuked. That’s his money flow at risk, nothing else.
Ya know there a principle I am rather fond of, doing good for bad reasons is still good. While Carlson may be a shitstain undeserving of his kneecaps and while he may be doing a good thing for bad reasons, well I’ll take what I can get. We are effectively shrieking into the void like the banshee outside of my window, nobody hears us but they do hear Carlson.
Probably, but it’s smart to take allies where you can find them. A lot of right-wingers pay attention to Carlson, and his stance is hitting where left-leaning sources have no pull.
Plus if successful at turning us from our allies based on misplaced motivation, they would just lie about those motivations more to us. Then lie to the other side about our own motivations for stuff we agree with them on.
He came out in opposition to the Iranian war and was given Ted Cruz the fuck you treatment calling him a dumbass on it. I think that was before Colbert got fired.
If he was scared, he would have kept his mouth shut. This is praiseworthy
Carlson might also be peeved at Trump suddenly being passive aggressive on Russia.
Similar thing for me recently. Learned musk is against collective shouts censorship. Made me really evaluate why I was against it. Still against it. Censorship limits freedom of speech but so does deplatforming the censors. Weird times
Sure, but sometimes the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy. I agree with this one thing that Tucker said. I vehemently disagree with pretty much every single other thing he says, or has said.
Yeah same in my situation basically. Also he wants to harass and censor collective shout. It’s not the right way to address this. ACLU already looking into financial censorship and payment procssors. That’s the way I want it handled. Legally and sanely
The grammar is ambiguous, FYI, of if you meant the censorship done by collective shout or the censorship being done to collective shout.
It doesn’t impact my reply, but I figured I’d let you know. :)
I’m against government censorship in all circumstances outside the cliche “you can’t threaten people or spread injurious falsehoods”.
I’m okay with private entities not giving people a platform if they aren’t a defacto institution. Credit card companies and financial services should be agnostic to which legal businesses they process payments and hold assets for. Much like how shipping companies are agnostic to what’s in your package, beyond what’s necessary to move it safely.
If you’re needed for society to function, I want you to blindly service society, even if people I dislike also get service.I don’t want to be in a place where every platform needs to accept all participants as valid. There’s plenty of ways to share your viewpoint.
That ignores the fact that the government leans on these people behind the scenes. So it is a thinly veiled end run around government censorship, as we have seen with social media, Homeland Security giving lists of names for them to ban for other reasons.
I agree 100% Sorry I was ambiguous in my last reply. I am against all censorship both by and against collective shout
I don’t think censoring collective shout helps any of this
I was just thinking this is the perfect meme in this context.
Not only a good point… He dared to go against supreme leader, despite his much he normally licks boots, and when other more moderate people are licking boot about all this
I’m confused, but happy to see it.
What fucking bizarro world have I stepped into where fash-lite bowtie man is making sense
He’s honestly been right about very niche things for a while, sometimes for the wrong reasons, and never a good person. But he’s sometimes right
Tucker’s a smart guy with a clever tongue. He can lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case for basic civil liberties. And then he can come back a day later to lay out an exhaustive, reasoned, rationalist case against them.
Just depends on which side of the line he’s standing. Dude’s a talk radio mercenary. He’ll fight for whichever side he thinks will turn him a profit.
Everyone getting a Russian paycheck is becoming visible right now.
Trump had a falling-out with Russia, Russia wants the US out of Israel, so you will notice that every single right-wing pundit who is suddenly screaming about government overreach are also the same ones who have been saying that the US shouldn’t get involved in Israel.
Seriously, it’s like a line-item list. Owens, Shapiro, Carlson, MTG and whatever other assorted midwits who have spoken out against US involvement in the middle-east, same ones who have had the most glowing praise for Russia or Putin.
Russia wants the middle-east via Iran and they don’t like Trump anymore because he’s too hard to manage and will likely die soon, so the window for shaping policy is rapidly running out.
(It’s not going to get better when Trump dies.)
edit: save your insane replies, I don’t care if it hurts your mental health to learn that the world might be more complicated than you think.
This comment is almost entirely divorced from reality. Just as bad as the nonsense that trumper dipshits spew. Ben fucking Shapiro has spoke out against US involvement in the Middle East? Lol, pretty much his sole life mission is to ensure that that continues. Gtfo with this shit.
Some people have “Russia Russia Russia” as their core identity. It’s a fact-free flight of fancy.
Thank you for letting me know that you can be safely blocked without me ever missing anything important. Have a good one!
Gotta maintain that echo chamber. Have fun with absolutely fucked world you’re helping to create.
Add me to the list, chief.
i wonder what your response will be once you learn that marjoree taylor green has tried to stop weapons shipments to isreal, but aoc helped stop her… twice
AOC voted to stop the amendment but voted no on the actual bill.
Sounds like there’s a host of details you’re leaving out.
But then that’s a classic Tucker trope.
Huh, whatever happened to loving how things are done in Putinist Russia, Tucker?
So now he cares about such principles…
He just realized that he is NOT SAFE
Not since Trump flipped on Russia (again). Maybe he’ll feel safer after another Alaska Summit.
They keep wanting a civil war between leftwingers and rightwingers, but seems more likely they will have a civil war amongst the rightwingers themselves. 🤦♂️
Could well happen yeah. Though it also seems likely, given how things have gone so far, that an assassin could be on camera with a Nazi swastika on their clothes and immediately after you’d have the right wing media spreading far and wide, “Here’s how the Nazis (National SOCIALISTS) were leftists, actually”
Maybe some shit about Nazis being pro trans too, I dunno. At this point it feels like they could actually say that and enough people would lap it up
“Here’s how the Nazis (National SOCIALISTS) were leftists, actually”
They already do say that.
Yeah true to an extent, of course, but I mean them going full on with it like they did with claiming the Charlie Kirk assassin was a leftist and trying to link him to transness in any way possible
No, stop, don’t.

Did his funding change? Why all the sudden change? You got the fucker there.
Good for Tucker. Rare time I say it.
Area, Man!
I Hate This Timeline.
I agreed with Cucker Tarlson and Marge Sporktoes on things! Wtf???
Ugh Fucker Carlson making sense. I hate this world.
Holy shit, Tucker dares to go against Trump.
I never thought I’d see the day where I agree with Fucker Carlson. Jesus.
