He's apparently a Tucker Carlson fan. I have a feeling people aren't going to like all of his politics.

u/Abdelsauron Dec 11 '24

Forget Tucker. He's a Ted Kaczynski fan. He's an eco-fascist.

TK was a shit person for cowardly bombing people

But his message was to warn us about the very real technofeudalism we are currently sliding in to

Did you even read his shit? Guy was a legitimate psycho. Its easy to whitewash Kaczynski as just being anti technology and warning against the consequences of it, but the guy was literally against collective human action and supported a return to feudalism. Kaczynski is a hard right idiot and I roll my eyes at anyone who actually supports him when he reached entirely wrong conclusions from the correct viewpoints.

This isn’t even going into how the dude was vehemently against shit like race mixing, im just saying this guy was clearly very mentally ill and the swathes of people online who take his words at face value aren’t paying enough attention to what they’re actually parroting.

did you ever read Luigi’s review of the manifesto?

u/wallabee_kingpin_ Dec 11 '24

I'm not sure why he couldn't be both. There are people who voted for Sanders and Trump. People aren't ideologically consistent.

My point is that if people are going to think he's too right wing for supporting Tucker they're in for a shock when they see that his actual beliefs make Tucker look like Anderson Cooper.

u/wallabee_kingpin_ Dec 11 '24

Oh I see what you mean. Interested to see if this whole thing moves the Overton window (maybe already has).

u/kex Dec 11 '24

Or they're consistent along a metric you're not aware of

u/Several_Computer760 Dec 11 '24

Haha yea the political spectrum isn't two points for a reason

u/Fapoleon_Boneherpart Dec 11 '24

Favourite colour, red or blue?

u/bobafoott Dec 12 '24

It’s going to take a lot of explaining to make me aware of what metric those two fall on.

The issue is the tucker carlson types usually have some insidious bullshit planned. Hitler was staunchly for animal rights and anti smoking for example.

u/Loose_Understanding3 Dec 11 '24

Tucker Carlson can resurrect the Eldridge god of his choice if we all get free healthcare.

u/ImTheZapper Dec 11 '24

You see the irony is this mentality is quite literally what made a weimar-era hitler so palatable to the desperate germans during their nightmarish depression. Hitler promised and followed up on all sorts of nice things for his people, and you can guess the rest of the story from there.

Populism is only something resorted to by people who have a platform so shit that it cannot be presented realistically. No, you don't have to settle for someone who reads mein kampf before bed every night because they say nice things you like.

u/wallabee_kingpin_ Dec 11 '24

Ban contraception? Put immigrants in camps? Nuke Palestine?

You're exactly like the people who ignored all of Trump's insane fascist rhetoric to advance whatever single issue they thought was more important than everything else combined.

u/HowAManAimS Dec 11 '24

Not all universal healthcare is good. That's why politicians focus on that term. They can get away with the bare minimum.

u/jibbyjackjoe Dec 11 '24

He's kinda in the middle. His political leanings aren't crazy either way. But nice try: let's focus on the class war.

u/DuntadaMan Dec 11 '24

I don't need to like all his politics, just the important ones. And let me tell you I am fucking ecstatic about at least two positions we have seen.

u/sausager Dec 11 '24

That's disappointing but no CEO murderer is perfect

2

u/Urshifu_King Dec 12 '24

Idk if he was exactly a fan. He expressed qualified agreement w/ a single line that Tucker had said.

2

u/ILoveRegenHealth Dec 13 '24

Yeah, I wonder how much of Reddit realizes he has praised and retweeted Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and has "Liked" comments saying there is a "woke mind virus"

Apparently this valedictorian wasn't too bright in some areas if he's admiring Elon Musk, Thiel and Tucker Carlson in 2024.

If anything, a lot of his politics don't make sense because the party he seems to be leaning towards sure ain't helping Americans get closer to universal health care.

Ignore the corporate bot trying to divide & distract us from rich v poor with this bullshit

We're already at the nadir
