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.

A broken Nazi Russian asset asshole clock is right once a day

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Trump has actually said critical stuff of Putin lately, maybe Tucker got a bit of marching orders to stir shit up?

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Now we're just lying to ourselves.

[-] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

This man doesn't actually meaningfully believe anything that he says. That said, what he is saying here is true.

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.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] firewyre@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Holy shit I agree with Tucker Carlson?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 104 points 2 days ago

What fucking bizarro world have I stepped into where fash-lite bowtie man is making sense

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

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

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 and there is no real binary of "good guys and bad guys" and absolutely everyone is a bad guy.

[-] dhhyfddehhfyy4673@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago

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.

"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".

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago

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.

Ugh Fucker Carlson making sense. I hate this world.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I only saw a clip of that. In the piece, did he ever disclose how much a typical Russian makes in a year?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Nope. Too busy fucking a dark rye bagel.

He just realized that he is NOT SAFE

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Not since Trump flipped on Russia (again). Maybe he'll feel safer after another Alaska Summit.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

"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.

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 59 points 2 days ago

Huh, whatever happened to loving how things are done in Putinist Russia, Tucker?

[-] FishFace@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago

So now he cares about such principles...

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 31 points 2 days ago

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.
