[Axtremus]

Just who does Carlson think are in charge?

[Doctor Phibes]

It's not mocking the people who are in charge that's the problem, it's mocking certain groups or ideas.

Tucker should try going to Russia, and mocking the leader he thinks is so freaking awesome. The man who in Tucker's peculiar alternate reality is defending the world against wokeness, and defending traditional Christian ideas.

Twat.

Yeah I'm sorry, there's no coming back from that shit.

Uh, maybe you might want to look at what the show is about.

I don't like listening to Putin fanbois. You can if you like.

I will not watch that show. What he has said about the Russian invasion of Ukraine is beyond the pale. And then he has the freaking gall to accuse the US of being a tyranny.

Moral bankruptcy pays real well, apparently.

[Jolly]

I'll listen to most anybody. May not agree, but I'll listen, at least for awhile.

As for Putin...Even Jordan Peterson says that Putin is not a psychopath. I don't like him, but I don't think he's the next Hitler.

I may not entirely agree with people who are not in favor of supporting Ukraine, but they are not evil nor are they idiots for their views.

And something interesting is happening...The polls show a lessening of support for Ukraine. Are all those Americans Putin fanbois?

Presumably that was what he was hoping would happen when he described Putin as 'defending traditional Christian values'.

[Jolly]

Most of those people in that poll have probably never watched Tucker.

I guess they're all fucking cunts, eh?

He doesn't need to be a psychopath. Judas Iscariot wasn't a psychopath either. Let's invite him round for tea and crumpets!

No, they're not saying what he said. Being wrong doesn't make him a cunt. He's been very dishonest in his messaging, and I'm left with the unavoidable conclusion that he has a hidden agenda. I can't imagine he'd actually need to take money of the Russians, so we're left wondering what it is.

Or maybe he's just being a contrarian and using this as a crowbar to lever at Biden. Which would just be stupid.

Judas wasn't a psychopath. Petty thief, yes. But there are varying thoughts on why Judas betrayed Jesus, including some who think he was swayed by the arguments of the Sanhedrin.

I think it would be fascinating to have coffee with him...

I think so, too, but the difference is that we all know who and what he is. We're not starting from a standpoint of, "well, Judas and I voted the same, so maybe he was right about that whole 'Christ' misunderstanding..."

There are plenty of other people out there who bring up the relevant issues Tucker does without calling Putin a defender of Christian values. So yeah, he can go fuck himself and I'll listen to those other people instead.

Do you have a link for where he said that? It seems to have made a mark on you that he said it, so I'd like to hear it for myself in context. A google search didn't turn it up.

I don't. Phibes might but I've got nothing.

Anyway, I don't have to like the guy and I'm under no obligation to listen to him. If that makes me narrow-minded that's hilarious.

Probably not because they have no idea or, for that matter, any desire to investigate, why the Western world has coalesced in support of Ukraine against Putin.

On the other hand, some are definitely Putin fanbois. I have met and engaged with some here. Others may simply feel that the current US geriatric POTUS and his administration should not involve the country in a conflict in Europe. I suspect that there are a few in this den forum of iniquity that see it in that light. That is their choice. While I don’t agree with it, I can understand their partisan fear.

[Horace]

Tulsi and Jordan Peterson had a conversation that touched on this. Mostly they ended up talking about why Americans who question the war, get marginalized and dismissed by the mainstream.

Of course nobody here would ever jump to any conclusions about a person who questions the war. But unfortunately that attitude does exist elsewhere in American culture.

I think he makes good points on occasion. Or even usually. It's not too difficult to make good points on the right. That's where all the taboo truths reside.

I watched it already. I don't mind questioning the war, but how someone does it will directly influence whether or not I listen to them.
