Oh really? If he’s such a strong anti-imperialist how is he a piece of shit? Maybe explain that instead of just hand waving literally every concern your comrades reply with and calling them libs.

Some of you read the front cover of ‘Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism’ and decided that there’s no material basis for the idea?

No, seriously, let’s have a struggle sesh about this, defend the fash in front of the entire community. If his faux anti-imperialism is good enough for you to throw others under the bus, explain why the rest of us deserve to die

I don't think anyone would should "support" Tucker or "hand it to him" beyond recognizing that he's is outflanking the Dems on Israel. His "anti-imperialism" is nothing more than "don't sign a murder suicide pact with Israel". Basically the Obama "no dumb wars" line. No dumb imperialism.

Judging him on how he's failed to convince his "chudbuds" is pretty silly though. I assume he has convinced his listeners. Those just aren't the ones that matter.

The point is that he should have some level of influence given he is arguably the most popular conservative talking head in the west, lest this strain of anti-imperialism is completely hollow right wing bullshit meant to dupe people into nazi rhetoric and inevitably keep the war machine burning

Popularity has zero influence on US foreign policy. Tucker is popular in the same way Joe Rogan is. I would also argue that "hollow right wing bullshit" regularly influences US foreign policy.

Yeah, it's almost like right wing talking heads don't actually have any principles and only say popular things to garner support and siphon people away from the left or something. But that'd be crazy, Tucker is obviously the one single Principled Right Winger who believes what he says and isn't just a grifter in it for the money and power like the dozens if not hundreds of grifters before him.
