Did y'all catch it when Tucker channeled Horace?
I only watched the first 3-4 minutes, and found it little different from what he says on the air.
Where's the @Horace part?

He spoke about how several years ago, he naively thought you could debate some issues like abortion or the rise of the LGBQT movement politically and with logic. He has come to the conclusion that many people who are proponents of those and other viewpoints are not debating politics. He found he was trying to engage in a political debate with a person who was engaging in a theological debate.
He then moved on to the point that it was destructive theology. What are the constructs of a good religion or even Athenian logic? Order, Peace, Tranquility, Cleanliness, etc. What are the end results of the current destructive theology? The theology that believes it is proper and correct for children to overtly sexualize themselves, to mutilate themselves in the name of sexuality or for abortion at any gestational period. The logical endpoints of such thought and actions are Discord, Trauma, Self-loathing, Child sacrifice and Filth.
Why would any sane society embrace that much religious Evil?

Actually, I believe that Larry was the first TNCR poster to equate or describe this neo-Jacobin malice and destructiveness to a cult religion. Others here picked up and expanded on it.
In any case I listened to whole bombastic video. His points are well taken despite the hysterical vocal squelch and facial dramatics. The theatrics only serve to detract from the message Carlson was at pain to convey.

The religious aspect of leftism is best described by John McWhorter IMO. It's not a new idea, but he's a powerful communicator of it, as a black man who focuses on the race narrative aspect.
Education is extremely important.

No it’s not a new idea. It was widely used in the 192os to describe Bolshevism. It could very well have predated 1917 in fact and go back as far as the French Revolution.
Napoleon though simply described it as mob rule and accordingly loaded his cannon with grape shot.

Historical analogies would need to involve high status individuals waging populism wars by proxy, via a conceit where they see themselves as the good guys, who've won the status game, and now seek to meld their status seeking ways with the need to see themselves as the savior of the status losers. Academia and the institutions in general have become overwhelmed by this closet religious philosophy, largely due to a feminization of the institutions.

This conversation was released by Glenn Loury and John McWhorter today on their regular feed. A colleague of John's named Mark Goldblatt recently released a book on this subject.
It's a nuanced conversation. It touches on trans stuff and how that interacts with LGBTQ stuff. Goldblatt appears further to the right than the two protagonists. He is even willing to go so far as to call transgenderism a mental illness. But they are all willing to listen. You don't get that willingness to listen, ever, throughout all public intellectual conversation, when the conversation involves the religious left.

Regardless, I was only agreeing with what you wrote that it is not a new idea.

Outside of science and technology, there aren't very many new ideas.
Just lots of old mistakes.
