Ahw fuck, why does it have to be Carlson? I hate it when dumb evil mother fuckers like him make actual good point
A broken Nazi Russian asset asshole clock is right once a day
Trump has actually said critical stuff of Putin lately, maybe Tucker got a bit of marching orders to stir shit up?
Now we're just lying to ourselves.
This man doesn't actually meaningfully believe anything that he says. That said, what he is saying here is true.
How do you know Tucker Carlson is grifting? His lips are moving. Be careful, fellas. You know who this goon is. Just because you agree with him, doesnt mean there isnt an agenda at play with this fucker.
It's something all the right wing grifters will realize at some point.
These people have no purpose if Trump forces all the news networks in the country to say whatever he wants. He no longer requires any of their services as mouthpieces.
I think Charlie Kirk ironically would be the first one to balk at the supression of leftist rhetoric.
Without opposition looking to make him look like an asshat while he thinks he's making them look like an asshat, these pundits lose their 'edge'. They have nothing to rant against, and without ranting, what's their draw, how do they make a living being right wing assholes that don't actually do anything or have to take accountability for anything?
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.
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.
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.
That website is an op
Please elaborate
There's no such thing as a "strike card".
You don't need to give anybody your name and phone number to join a strike or engage in protest. Why are they demanding sign-ups at all? Why do they need my personal identifying information? If it's a strike, name the day and time.
Who's behind this website? It's very unclear ("two friends") but also The Black Panther Party? This seems sus, like media ragebait for a future FOX News story
My first clue: the site is all a little TOO slick
This is either conservative ragebait or everyone will be signed up for some Organizing for America spam list. Worst case, you'll be on an FBI list and named as an "economic terrorist" or some bullshit
Could I wrong about all this? Sure, and I'll wish them luck and success, but they sure as shit ain't getting my identifying information
What makes you say that?
See my reply to another commenter
Holy shit I agree with Tucker Carlson?
What fucking bizarro world have I stepped into where fash-lite bowtie man is making sense
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.
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
Guess someone forgot to send tucker his check.
"Finally! I've finished my kill-bot. Come, gather round, as I unveil it to the world"
"But Professor Killington"
"Yes, adorable, one-legged, orphan Timmy?"
"Why did you make a kill-bot?"
"Well, so it would indiscriminately murder anything and everything that moves, of course"
"But professor, that sounds dangerous"
"Don't be a fucking retard Timmy. I know what I'm doing"
"O-okay Professor"
"Now everyone gather round as I turn on the killbot for the very first time, and be amazed as it makes me pancakes"
flips switch
"OH NO, STOP, STOP, STOP KILLING ME, KILL-BOT OH MY GOD, MY SPLEEN, OH, IF ONLY SOMEBODY COULD HAVE FORRSEEN THIS TERRIBLE TURN OF EVENTS".
Timmy would go on to run for Congress on an anti killbot policy. He would lose to a bigoted blowhard who insisted on the right for all people to own killbots to make them pancakes.
"You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of his murder won't be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country,” Carlson said Wednesday
Yeah it would really be a shame if free speech were to be trampled at some nebulous point in the future. Imagine if it were to happen now!
“And trust me, if it is, if that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever. And there never will be,” the pundit added.
The most justified possible cause for civil disobedience in all of human history has been and will only ever be... hate speech laws. Jeez. I'm a white guy and even that level of privilege and arrogance is a little crazy.
“Because if they can tell you what to say, they're telling you what to think...There is nothing they can't do to you because they don't consider you human.”
He seems so close to getting it. So damn close. But considering the right's propensity for projection, it's probably just an illusion.
Ugh Fucker Carlson making sense. I hate this world.
Interesting. I don't know who he is, but based on (part of) the Russian shopping video I saw of him yesterday, where he was excited at what everything a Russian supermarket has to offer, finally cumming into his pants after finding that Russia has bread, I wouldn't expect much.
Huh, whatever happened to loving how things are done in Putinist Russia, Tucker?
Whhaattttt?
Good for Tucker. Rare time I say it.
They keep wanting a civil war between leftwingers and rightwingers, but seems more likely they will have a civil war amongst the rightwingers themselves. 🤦♂️
If he ends up getting Kirked over this, I'll gladly nudge him over the line to "on the right side of history". Won't mourn his passing though, he's peddled enough bullshit to make himself irredeemable as decent human being.
I Hate This Timeline.
I agreed with Cucker Tarlson and Marge Sporktoes on things! Wtf???
Holy shit, Tucker dares to go against Trump.
