Now Tucker Carlson is praising Venezuela. I told you, people, that he’s a leftist. The moment somebody starts praising third-world hell holes as being superior to America, that’s how you know this is a leftist. To them, third-world hell holes are only that because American colonialism victimized them. This has been the leftist narrative for over a century. It never changes.

For what thing or things is Mr. Tucker praising Venezuela?

For all your talents (and there are many) you have this habit of strawmanning and mischaracterizing the arguments of people you despise. Criticizing this reckless military action against Venezuela becomes “he loves Venezuela and thinks it’s better than the US.” For someone who’s usually so precise with language it’s shocking to me how you come up with these wild distortions of what people actually say. And it’s not just Tucker. It’s everyone you seem to have a blanket hatred for (Greenwald, Vance, etc.). Of all the possible interpretations of what they say, you pick the least charitable. It’s been a consistent pattern since
I don’t listen to him regularly, but from what I’ve heard over the years, I’ve never gotten the impression that he hates america or that he’s some kind of leftist. He was simply one of the first people on fox news to point out how free trade deals like NAFTA devastated small-town america. Anyway, that’s neither here or there. You and I disagree on something. It’s fine lol.
Also, if we’re going to argue on this blog that terms like racism and sexism are meaningless these days then “antisemitism” deserves the same treatment. It’s funny that a big theme over the last few years on this blog has been black dysfunction, racial differences, latino incompetence, indian cheating etc. Like, real explicit racial stuff. And I don’t mind! But Tucker and others talking about the behavior of zionist jews makes him a “jew hater”? Come the fuck on! Notice one notice all, as I say.

Based on these criteria, the USSR was fantastic. Homosexuality was punished by jail. Stalin imposed death penalty for abortion.
Let’s now praise North Korea for having no obesity problem. What an achievement. Let’s be like them.

“Tucker”
He’s a russian shill. If they’re not paying him then he’s a terrible businessman (I don’t think he’s a terrible businessman).
I no longer think he was ever sincere about being against neoliberalism. He’s what someone called ‘an entrepreneur of ideas’ he looks for an idea that he thinks will make him money and tries to get there before anyone else.
“the behavior of zionist jews”
I have no problem pointing out hypocrisy by individual jews or criticizing Israel but I have no idea what the fuck ‘zionist jews’ are supposed to be or why I should care.

Totally agree btw, Tucker is most definitely not a liberal to anybody but our blogging host.

“Tucker is most definitely not a liberal”
He’s a fake who takes his directions from moscow. Pretty much everything he says now aligns with russian policy goals.
(and anyone who thinks russia is a conservative place doesn’t know anything)..

People have really lost the plot if “praising a third-world Commie regime is leftist” sounds controversial to them.

Which apparently has asked russia, china and iran for help against the US….
And… people don’t realize just how catastrophic socialism has been for Venezuela, once one of the richest countries in Latin America and now an economic basket case, thanks to Chavez and Maduro.

I don’t know if he’s getting paid. I think it’s likelier that they have something on him. But whatever his motivation, what Tucker says is standard third-world leftism.

He’s rich. That means it doesn’t matter what his political brand is, he’s for whatever rich people are for.
