Not yet... been prepping for my big night.
Got a plan for this thing that I think is iron clad, can't go wrong. Netflix, cheesecake and gummies.
I've got this in the bag.
On another note...what the actual f--- are you doing Tucker?

Yeah, it was pedestrian scholarship. Like I could read the undertones of where he was going early on but he kept it at a level that most people/historians would not argue about early. "Ya know, from the German POV they felt they had a reason to react the way they did because of what was done to them after WW1 and how awful the Weimar Republic was....but we can't talk about that." Yeah we can. That is talked about on every single dive into Hitler's rise I have ever seen. Hitler screamed about that all the time and nobody has hid that was his beef.
You knew you were getting to crazy town though when he dropped the "Churchill was the villain" and this gem, "You know, the Germans were just so successful and had so many prisoners they didn't expect and they just couldn't feed them all. So the humane thing to do was to kill them now." Nah bruh. Your guy wrote a book about this about 15 years before it happened. This wasn't just an unfortunate accident. And as to Churchill, he didn't become Prime minister until after Hitler had gobbled up Western Europe and Norway. "The Brits ran propaganda to get the US in the war!" Yeah and the Germans did to try and keep us out. He also leaves out that it wasn't Churchill who ultimately convinced us to join. No Hitler's allies bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, we declared war on Japan and Germany informed us on December 11th that they viewed themselves at war with the US. So technically ol' Adolph and the Nazis were complicit in dragging the US into that affair as well.
It really is just shitty scholarship. I don't begrudge Tucker having people like this on. On the contrary, I think it is helpful to have idiots on as long as you challenge them in an intellectually honest fashion. Carlson just kind of laughs and says, "Interesting...." and let's him spout off easily verifiably wrong analysis of facts. A high school social studies teacher would have ripped that apart because the "myth" around WW2 is about as close to reality as anything. Yeah Great Power politics were at play and bad things happen in war but the Nazis were evil and Hitler drove that conflict, not the other way around.
Is Nazi Lives Matter the new Black Lives Matter?
Carlson definitely went off the deep end when he left Fox. He's making a lot of money off his current schtick.
It's too bad, because he had guests on that, while sometimes nutty, occasionally were interesting. I don't give him the time of day anymore.
Yeah, cuz Bobby Kenendy Jr. isn't nuts......
The most incredible thing about this thread is that it wasn't just every single poster on this forum nodding heads and agreeing with you. That anyone even had the wherewithal to jump in and try to spin this narrative in a pro-Tucker direction is both telling and depressing.
Take the universal agreement as a win. We still got that going for us.
My point is it wasn't universal. A few tried to fight back a bit. That's sad.
But it's a win that they were rare. I'll grant that.
Nothing. I've never been a Kennedy fan and have always thought he's cuckoo for coco puffs.
I realize a lot of Trump supporters like him - mainly because they don't really know what he stands for and because he likes to stick it to Democrats. But I'm not one of them.
15 years ago, Republicans kept saying stupid stuff about rape. Now it appears to be WW2. Minnesota Senate candidate said, "The bad guys won WW2."
I don't get why someone would seriously entertain that thought.

The farther away we get from WWII, the more it becomes an abstract thing. Fewer people are affected directly by it and even relatives killed in it aren't known - the relatives who kept their memories alive are gone themselves.15 years ago, Republicans kept saying stupid stuff about rape.

It's a sad thing, but there are always going to be crazies who promote such whacked out ideas. Just because the guy is Republican doesn't, he's not representing Republican views. After the Squad's pronouncements about Israel, I would think you wouldn't want to paint with such a broad brush.
MAGA attracts crazies like shit attracts flies. There’s a home for them there.

Sam Harris is the only IDW person to be taken seriously, and his TDS is well reasoned. The rest of the IDW are clowns.
Disagree - unless we’re not aligned on the perimeter of the IDW. I include Hitchens, Dawkins, Rogan, Weiss and Shapiro. They’re not clowns. I mean, Rogan kinda is but he will admit it.
If you’re talking about the Weinsteins and Peterson, I agree they’re not to be taken too seriously outside of their immediate areas of expertise.
I actually wasnt including Hitch or Rogan. Rogan is credulous and vapid, and although I love Hitchens, he’s no longer. I’m really just referring to the Weinsteins and JBP in particular. JBP has lost his marbles. His erudite communication style hides shaky thinking. Same with Russel Brand, who i know isn’t considered part of the IDW, but inhabits a similar sphere now.
I agree with all that. Rogan is key to giving people a platform that otherwise don’t get one due to academic censoring or MSM shunning etc.
He knows he’s vapid and I agree he’s credulous but those conversations should be able to be had and his platform is the only place they can.
More and more Rogan is simply the new Art Bell, and doubting far out shit like the moon landing, and finding conspiracies everywhere, which tracks perfectly now with surprisingly large portion of the right now. Not saying it’s the entire GOP. But rogan plays into this increasing segment perfectly.
I understand that perspective. One can make a reasonable argument that many insane things are discussed on mainstream media and treated as normally accepted truths.
There's crazy everywhere. I'm convinced there are like maybe six or eight sane Americans left.
Sure. Every single one of us has a bit of crazy in us, and both parties have plenty of dumb crazy in them. Some varietals of crazy is “crazier” than other though.
