OT: Tucker is dangerous!

[RabidPedagog]

I went into work yesterday even though it was a pedagogical day to do
some corrections. As I sat down, I overheard one co-worker talking to
another about Tucker Carlson interviewing Vladimir Putin. Without
viewing or reading the content of the interview, the co-worker
determined that Tucker Carlson was _dangerous_ because he spoke to the
Russian leader and asked about his position. He then proved his position
by stating that Carlson inherited lots of wealth from his family.

And then people wonder why I refuse to talk to my co-workers.

A lot of idiots consuming MSM bullshit brainwashing. As for Putin inheriting
wealth from his family, they're clueless. He grew up poor.

Unfortunately teachers seem to be some of the most gullible. I had a friend
who's family business was selling insurance, mostly to teachers. They made a
killing. So much so that his father ran several offices, but my friend
refused to accept his "designated" office location because he felt guilty
about conning teachers for the easy money.

As for Tucker Carlson being dangerous? How? Are they saying people too
stupid to think for themselves? Good grief.

Reading comprehension.... I don't know if Carlson inherited anything but
he grew up silver-spoonish.

[RonB]

That's the typical knee-jerk response from you. Don't argue with what people
say, just character assassinate them. Why am I not surprised?

Explain how Carlson has "huckstered" anyone.

[RonB]

He's mentioned that his family was wealthy. I thought the accusation of
"growing up rich" was against Putin. Probably responding to too many posts
too quickly.

I didn't know either way since I never read Tucker's biography. However,
I'm not even slightly surprised that a leftist has no grasp on reality.

I haven't watched the interview yet but want to do so tonight simply to
spite the twat who thinks that hearing what Putin has to say is dangerous.

Probably the equivalent of tl;dr for most of the US goobers. They're lucky
if they think history started a couple of hundred years ago rather than in
2000.

For a brief recap a good place to start would be the Teutonic Knights, the
Livonian Order, and the Battle on the Ice. Short summary the Catholics got
their asses handed to them by the Orthodox led by Alexander Nevsky. He is
a national hero in Russia. That stopped the push to the east by the
Catholics in its tracks. That was 1242. Since then Russia has been a
little tender about western Europe trying to push its way in and letting
the Ukraine join NATO is as blatant as it gets.

[RonB]

I've noticed the "touchiness" by a few Orthodox writers.

One of the things I learned in the interview is that the word translated to
"ukraine" literally meant the "fringe" or "edge." Specifically the Russians
living on the fringe of Russian territory.

It's similar to frontera or frontière. Along with the politically correct
spellings of 'Kiev' it was referred to as 'The Ukraine' for the better
part of my life. The Ukes got huffy about that and wanted to be referred

Knee-jerk? I've seen what nonsense that guy spouts. Have you subscribed to

And yet more character assassination. You're a one trick pony. Please state

When Tucker Carlson still worked for Fox (about two years ago) he wanted to

While at Fox he interviewed Orban of Hungary — however — another "pariah"

It’s an ethical conflict of interest:

“ Most news outlets disapprove of paying for news or else ban the practice outright
as a policy.[1] Among the reasons for those policies, according to Andy Schotz,
chairman of the SPJ's ethics committee, is that paying for an interview immediately
puts the credibility of the information they provide in doubt.[1] In addition, paying
sources creates a legal business relationship, thereby casting doubt on the reporter's
ability to maintain total objectivity, with no bias. As such, it can lead to a conflict of
interest when publishing news stories.[1] Journalism should strive to remain neutral
and unbiased, according to journalism expert Roy Peter Clark.[5]”

Nope. I saw reports of Tucker receiving the VIP Treatment, which isn’t literal
cash for pediatrics, but it still of tangible value. Classical “wine & dine” stuff.

Because Fox perhaps also knew that Moscow has wanted Tucker for years, to be
in the “useful fool” for their propaganda, which is why they didn’t give it a go:

They didn't want him to interview Putin because doing so might alter the
narrative they're feeding to Westerners. I imagine that it's why Western
nations are also forbidden from negotiating with Russia on matters. The
position here is "swallow our narrative or be destroyed." It's no
different than what the Soviet Union did with its people during its

"But in some ways our situation is worse than that of those Soviet-
occupied countries in the aftermath of the world war. For while the post-
war Communists essentially maintained certain inherited standards of
behavior, for instance, supporting large families and traditional
marriage, our elites continue to push the boundaries of what was once
thought normative and acceptable in every area of human endeavor, even
under Communism. "

[RabidPedagog]

You didn't have the displeasure of watching Trudeau debate with other
potential political leaders before our elections here. It was
immediately clear to me, back in 2015, that Trudeau's entire strategy
was to interrupt other people speaking. He had nothing to say so he just
prevented others from making points. Unfortunately, the idiotic voters
in Ontario saw that as a sign of strength and gave him power. I actually
spoke to the Conservative candidate in the following election over the
phone (I live in an area which makes my vote important to select a
candidate) and begged him to prevent Trudeau from interrupting him. He
did, but he didn't convince people that he was an actual conservative
and lost an election he could easily have won. He did weaken the Prime
Minister and take his majority away, but that's not that important
because our political system is made up of so many leftist parties that
Trudeau can make deals with others to have a virtual majority.

In the end, that's how leftists "win" debates: shout when your opponent

And that's precisely what he did and tried to do again in 2019. It was a
sad sight and it bothered me that the bought-and-paid-for media made no
effort to point out how much of a child Trudeau was. If he ever
responded to something, it was always along the lines of:

- "Your opponent alleges that you destroyed A and the evidence seems to
support the allegation. How do you respond?"
- "My opponent doesn't want you to know that he destroyed B!"

It was annoying to say the least.

I doubt it's a billion since X counts every scroll past suggested
content as a view. The number is probably far smaller than that.
However, the reality is that there is indeed interest in hearing what
the man has to say about the conflict because people know that what the
obsolete media is peddling smells more like excrement than it does
truth. People want to know _why_ their tax dollars are going to another

It varies. There are some interesting articles and some complete trash.
Mercola is a regular contributor and I wouldn't let him doctor the stray
cat I feed.

Amazon is forever so I found a three star review of Rockwell's 'Against
the State: An Anarcho-Capitalist Manifesto' I wrote ten years ago.

"While a good deal of libertarian thought appeals to me there are too many
gaps that do let me see it as a viable system in itself. I enjoy
Rockwell's essays except when he goes off on the odd tangent but overall
I'm not convinced."

Rockwell is an acolyte of Rothbard. I think of libertarian history as the
War of the Murrays, Murray Rothbard and Murray Bookchin. I'd lean more
towards Bookchin. There is an amusing if dated book, 'It Usually Begins
with Ayn Rand', that's an account of the early days of the Libertarian
Party.

I'm currently trying to read Isabell Patterson's 'The God of the
Machine'. I say trying because while she had no engineering background
she uses a weird metaphor about power transmission to explain society. She
was a mentor of Rand before they had a falling out, which was par for the
course with Rand. Never trust anyone who names themselves after a
typewriter.

I didn't care much for Rodgers since he was a Green Bay Packer, and my team
(sadly) is the Chicago Bears. He was a great quarterback, and apparently close
to Mensa material (not that that means a lot). But, like everyone, he has
locuses of unsound thinking, and that came out with his lambasting the "woke
mob" for dinging his lying about his vaccination status.

A guy on our team, nice fellow, reasonable, had a Ph.D. in physics. He was also
a Catholic, and his wallpaper was something like Jesus on the Cross, IIRC.
Didn't bother me, but did it bother others?

It is not kind to destroy a person if they don't want to be injected
with a quickly-developed vaccine.

The gullible herd can get pretty nasty if you disagree with them. They
knee-jerk attack those who won't assimilate.

Even my dentist said the county Covid Czar was working way over her
mission, training, and intelligence. She ultimately was fired as she had
been previously fired by every hospital in town.

By the nature of their job dentists have a good grasp on hygiene and do
not need to be schooled by an idiot.

Neither my dentist or doctor were upset that I'd not taken the shot. They
asked, as they were mandated to, and moved on.

Not like magahats threatening violence over actions against Trump or Gym
Jordan?

Let's get real... people across the spectrum can get angry about stuff they
don't support. Knee-jerk is quite universal.

Hell, we have an entire pyramid of potential tyrants over us, any one

And that's... where? No facts again. No context. Nothing. Typical.

When I get angry I say why. When asked to provide facts, I do.

Typical non-response from you. When asked for evidence of your "alternative
facts" (i.e., MSM knee-jerk lies) you provide nothing. Just put your brain
in neutral, Chris, and parrot the MSM bullshit. So much easier than thinking
for yourself.

What a fucking used up goober. I can't believe the idiocy of Trump
supporting, right-wing lunatics.
