I heard on Chapo yesterday that because Tucker is apparently the most prominent voice out there against the war, I have to be supportive of him
guess I’ll just die then
Not gonna lie, Tucker is outflanking most people on the left in regards to Palestine.
Call it what you want, opportunism or whatever, but he has been vocal on the genocide in Gaza and has been against the Iran war even before the US first bombed them.
When he says shit about "israel" he doesn't do the western liberal / leftist (they're the same thing) wishy-washy, both-sides, "this is bad for 'israel' and I'm gonna mention the deaths of Palestinians in passing".
Sooooo many "pro-Palestine" "progressive" fucks, whose voices are amplified, are just liberal zionists. Like that one failed politician, Kat Abughazleh, promoting the "board for peace", saying the US should hand-pick who leads Gaza, or being disgustingly bloodthirsty about Iran.
Which one is worse? The one who's against imperialism because they don't understand how it benefits america, or the performative matcha drinking imperialist who hides it behind being a young hipster with vibes?
That’s not true at all. If you actually watch Tucker Carlson’s videos he’s just as wishy washy about imperialism as those libs. In the infamous video of Ted Cruz, minutes after questioning Ted Cruz’ ignorance on Iran, he concedes points about why the IRGC is so bad and completely endorses anticommunism (obv, but it’s important note).
It’s one thing to say he’s outflanking liberals and one of the most prominent people to do so but to say he’s outflanking people on the left is ridiculous.
Yeah but the same "progressives" like Mehdi Hassan are also shit on the same issues you are upset about. Peddling lies on the 40,000 protestors "massacred" in Iran, leading up to the start of america's illegal bombing campaign.
Look at Zeteo, Mehdi Hassan's own news channel, and see the slop they're posting. How exactly is he better in any way than tucker is?
Mehdi Hassan is overtly a lib and not a leftist
Nobody here is going to stand up for lib ass Mehdi Hassan, 'progessive' doesn't mean anything
Yeah that was kinda my point, tucker's a ghoul, but so are these progressives who claim they're not
You honestly think someone who wants 50 million Americans disappeared for being illegal is actually anti-imperialist?
Nobody is talking about Medhi Hassan here though. I never see him posted anywhere on here. We are talking about you and too many others giving critical support to a literal Nazi.
Who said critical support! I swear yall would condemn Mao for his "United Front" positions if it happened in 2026
Mao's united front was, notably, not an alliance with Japan.
This shit actually makes me so mad because you have seen how many progressives shit on Iran and were calling for regime change at every chance they could get, don't try to pretend it didn't happen now.
You are conflating liberals with "the left". Just stop praising this dipshit for his cryptofascist shit. He is literally just triangulating like historic Nazis by coopting actual left positions for nefarious reasons. You do not have to hand it to him you're just carrying water.
He only criticizes Israel to deflect from US responsibility in this conflict.
No, these zionist "progressives" are what is largely perceived as "the left" in greater public discourse. It doesn't matter what we think in our little corner here -- the liberals and zionists call themselves "the left", and are perceived as "the left" by the overwhelming majority.
You literally started attacking me because I said a ghoul was better on one position than a majority of "progressives" in the west. Instead of arguing against anything I said, you acted hostile from the jump, making false accusations of "critical support".
Nobody is attacking you. People take issue with you attempting to win the “Fell for It Again” award by getting sucked in by fascists who cynically parrot what look like left-wing positions.
If someone posted a video of mehdi hassan on here, I know you and most of the people in this community wouldn't say anything about how he's a piece of shit. What's with the selective policing? They're both pieces of shit, last time he was posted here I was the only person to call out how he's a rabid imperialist promoting lies against Iran.
Then you don't know this community very well
Okay but Tucker is an outright Nazi and you should not be "supportive" of anyone like him triangulating "to the left" of liberals whatever the fuck that means.
The enemy of our enemy is not by default our friend and I fucking hate that I keep seeing takes like yours pop up here.
Is he though
Tucker Carlson is an obviously horrible person (dude was big Iraq war advocate)
But I am not aware of him saying Nazi shit
He’s definitely said a lot of racist shit about black people and immigrants
Idk about Jews
Nazism is not exclusive to hating jews. It was after all first and foremost about cooptng socialist energy and redirecting it away from the German bourgeoisie toward scapegoats that including Jews but also communists, anarchists, LGBT people, slavs, Roma etc etc.
Also Tucker does dabble in ZOG shit about Israel controlling the US and the person I was arguing with also brought up Marjorie Taylor Greene who openly ranted about "Jewish space lasers" during the California wildfires which is especially fucked.
You're the one who turned it into an argument off the jump attacking me.
I don't give a fuck if tucker's a piece of shit, he's doing more for anti-imperialism than you are attacking people on an online forum. Touch grass.
Dear lord, this poster attacked you? Like they came through your computer screen and hit you with a big clown mallet? You must be terribly injured, Thoughts and prayers to you comrade.
Jokes aside, Tucker Carlson is not anti imperialist. He’s not “doing anything for” anti-imperialism. Was Trump anti imperialist when he said “no more wars!” on the campaign trail? No, because he was cynically cultivating an audience and trying to garner mass appeal. And then, wouldn’t you know it, we just so happened to oopsie our way into attacking Iran. Stop being dramatic and acting like you’re grievously injured when someone rightfully calls you out for holding water for fascists.
Yeah we get you really want us to like this piece of shit. I wonder if he wasn’t such an bigoted flag bearer of capitalism, would you be browbeating us about not liking him?
You could say the same for a lot of the "progressives" you follow then. Nobody said I was supportive of him, what I am saying is him and marjorie taylor green aren't afraid to be labeled as antisemitic for their anti-imperialist views, and it's something "progressives" fucking suck at.
You don't know me and you definitely don't know who I follow it just disgusts me to see this sort of "critical support" for this piece of shit that should be one of the first against the wall. This is textbook tailism. Fuck Tucker Carlson and anyone that speaks even cryptically positively of him.
ewww
Got someone basically saying the same shit in this thread. We do not by any means ever have to give credit or even a single thread of critical support to a Nazi like Tucker. Almost like these pseudoleft fart sniffers forgot all about his genocidal Islamophobia after 9/11. But who am I kidding they probably weren't even born yet.
I read it as more of a condemnation of western "leftists" than handing anything to Tucker.
