Fox News Host Gets Triggered by Historian

No, wrong colour! (Except for a few blonde South Africans and maybe a couple of white Zimbabwean farmers.)
It's a mistake that's easy to make, but please don't confuse Africans with Afrikaans!

As Baylor loves white people who are white supremacists who reproduce

Just thought I'd FTFY

 

[Baylor]

You didn't actually listen to the segment, did you? He took exception to a couple of issues but he did not call him out for dishonesty nor for misrepresenting Carlson's positions. Uygur's position seems to be that he wants to believe the Tucker has the potential to be a young turk of a different sort because he wants to have this conversation and Bregman went straight after him without giving him a chance to have that imaginary discussion. Uygur's cohosts disagree with him, one of them saying that Carlson's interest in fighting the big corporation is partisan and that they don't trust him (I'd guess so, after years of experience watching him.)

It's Uygur who's actually misrepresenting Carlson; in a fit of wishful thinking he's trying to promote the idea that Carlson could become the Anti-Murdoch. I sincerely doubt it.

It's Foolmewunz who's also misrepresenting Carlson. If you knew Tucker Carlson's political views, you'd know Bugman's arguments made no sense. You're a puppet for open border Koch Brothers, that's why you advocate for securing the border.

Bugman just pretended Tucker Carlson was Sean Hannity and started arguing against his imaginary opponent.

Tucker Carlson's political theories are far too sophisticated for Bugman's millionaire bad. money bad. I good. That's why Bugman chose to argue with himself.

European freak here. What have we done now?

The same thing that we childless, white non-European diabetics did.

Long as I'm getting painted with the broad brush, I hope Tucker Carlson's house burns down.

ETA: WTF is a "bugman"?

And many here are triggered by Fox

Triggered...meaning what, exactly?

Does it mean we're triggered when we point out the lies? When we show the hypocrisy? When the hate is called out? When the fact that those who watch Fox know less about the world than those who don't?

Well at least we can now add add "triggered" to the ever growing list of terms that he doesn't understand.

Carlson? Sophisticated?

I was thinking more along the lines of: Tucker? Sophisticated?

The last sophisticated Tucker rolled off the line in the spring of '49.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

Is that why Tucker Carlson chose to be recorded having a sophisticated meltdown?

Since applecorped mentions "people here," he might be talking about something like this.

Does it mean we're triggered when we point out the lies? When we show the hypocrisy? When the hate is called out? When the fact that those who watch Fox know less about the world than those who don't?

Yes. If you point out stuff like that they go full meltdown.

Of course Triggered gets missused so much. It does not mean offended it means causing PTSD flashbacks.

But triggering people is fun that is why it is great hilarity to set off fireworks around combat vets with PTSD.

Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites

There's a new great video about Tucker Carlson:

The goal of Tucker’s show isn’t to challenge the elite. It’s to make sure you never realize who they are. To get you so mad at atheists, feminists, immigrants, millennials, trans people, college students, pot smokers, vegans, the NFL, Brooklyn witches, and Lena ******* Dunham that you don’t get mad at the people who are actually in charge.Tucker Carlson isn’t a populist. He’s a safety valve. A way to make sure that if the hungry peasants in the village get angry, they don’t take it out on the party giving tax cuts to him or his multibillionaire boss.
Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites (Vox video, April 3, 2019)

I guess I would have added “Muslims, blacks, Mexicans, liberals and daft, naïve European girls” to the highlighted sentence, and then we would have a list of the favorite themes of some of the posters at the ISF.
But don't watch it for this quotation. Watch it for the many voice quotations from Tucker Carlson himself that make it obvious how deliberate his strategy is!

[Skeptic Ginger]

I suspect Tucker is using Ann Coulter's marketing strategy. Alex Jones admitted the same thing during his divorce proceedings. Say the most outrageous things because it gets you publicity and followers.

 

[dann]

But Tucker Carlson grew up as a member of the elite, inherited a fortune, could live for the rest of his life without having to 'work'. He doesn't "say the most outrageous things" because it gets him "publicity and followers." Watch the video!

He says the outrageous things because they shift the focus of his followers from the actual elites (= him!) to people whom they are made to think of as their enemies even though they aren't, really.

pgwenthold's meme is much closer to the truth than your idea about popularity and followers. You seem to miss the point of the ideas that Tucker Carlson, very deliberately and methodically, popularizes and makes people follow!

Brilliant, and so much truth.

Even those morons who see this will still fail to understand what it means.

 

[dann]

I've got one problem with it: What the one-percenters vote is uninteresting. There are so few billionaires that the impact of their actual votes - if they even bother to vote - is negligible.
The influence that they're able to buy is much more important.

It should say:

I buy politicians and other stooges to keep these morons from realizing I'm the only one ruining their livelihoods.
