That makes me feel yucky. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago (3 children) It's really weird, right? Like, first off, Fuck Carlson. Years of damage and bullshit.... not forgetting that. He's never gonna be "on my side".... And I know his pivot is entirely a self interest grift. But I'm still in favor of it? Like... He's not a good person, but he's respected by the far-right. And still manages a large audience of alt-righters. So, if he's criticizing Israel, and Trump, and TPUSA... then... maybe that's good? In the clip he's openly discussing how Fox news (his former employer) is being deliberately manipulative with their wording... that's... good? I'd say, "broken clocks" but I don't he's "right" either. I think he has his own purposes that aren't "good", but some good may come of it. If that makes sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 weeks ago It does make some sense, and I agree that whatever Cucker is doing, it's only to help himself. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 child) He sees the writing on the wall that young rightists are anti-Israel (for all the wrong reasons) and is positioning himself to be the next anti-establishment right-wing voice in a post Trump era. It's pure cynical politics. But I guess still better than defending genocide. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago But I guess still better than defending genocide. The bar is in hell. I look it as though Tucker is just the first rat off the ship trying reestablish himself as the "true republican". He helped make this monster and now he's doing this "the right have lost their way" bit after it all went tits up. permalink fedilink source parent
