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?
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?
Mehdi Hassan is overtly a lib and not a leftist
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.
Hypothetical
Then you don't know this community very well
