NextImg:Tucker Carlson: Dropping Two Nukes to End WWII Was "Prima Facie Evil"

Tucker Carlson continues his headlong rush to the far left.

He also seems to call for denuclearization. Even better.

He showed off his newly woke philosophy for Joe Rogan, who is now certainly more rightwing than Tucker Carlson.

I love, by the way, that people on my side -- I'll just admit it, on the Right -- have spent the last 80 years defending dropping nuclear weapons on civilians. Like, are you joking? That's just, like, prima facie evil. If you can't -- 'Well, if we hadn't done that, then this, that, the other thing, that was actually a great savings' -- like, no. It's wrong to drop nuclear weapons on people, and if you find yourself arguing that it's a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil. Like, it's not a tough one, right? It's not a hard call for me. So, with that in mind, like, why would you want nuclear weapons? It's like just a mindless, childish sort of intellectual exercise to justify, like, 'Oh no, it's really good because someone else could get' -- how about, no? How about spending all of your effort to prevent this from happening?

I've become less and less interested in what this conspiracy-minded wreck thinks. He's been honeydicked by Glenn Greenwald.

A lot of people support Tucker Carlson for opposing the GOP Establishment. That's great. But you know who else opposes the GOP Establishment? The far left.

And more and more of Tucker Carlson's positions are from the hard left. Nevermind his conspiratorial fascination with UFOs, which I thought was all a ratings stunt but no, he seems to really Believe.
By the end of Tucker's "evolution," he'll be telling us that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has "some serious ideas, which should be taken seriously."

I oppose the American Deep State. That means I now have to believe in... Vladimir Putin?!?

On Tucker Carlson, and some others of the right, I'm reminded of G.K. Chesterton's aphorism: "When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything." I feel like a lot of people -- and I include myself in this -- long believed in (this is embarrassing) American institutions like the FBI, CIA, judiciary, and even the corporate class. (Oh Lord...)

Now we no longer believe in those things. But, as Chesterton observed, the end of belief in some things often does not result in skepticism for everything -- it often results in the former believer seeking to believe in anything else. And for some (understandably) disappointed former righties, it results in finding new beliefs in the core dogmas of the far left.

People have a need to believe, for belief makes order of chaos, and often those who abandon beliefs fly quickly into the arms of a fresh belief system. The old beliefs may have been rejected, but the need to believe remains.

Rather than waking up and deciding to no longer believe in stupid nonsense, some, like Tucker Carlson, are on a spiritual quest to find new stupid nonsense to believe in.

Below, Tucker Carlson insists he has knowledge that the intelligence agencies are blackmailing congressmen -- but also says he can't say who's confessed to being blackmailed.

I would find this more compelling if he didn't make this announcement in the same rant in which he decries the cover-up of "UAPs" -- Unidentified Aerial Pheonomenon, which is the new term for "UFOs" so you can avoid saying "UFOs."

Starting from October 8th, Tucker Carlson has consistently attacked Israel and those who supported Israel's right to self defense. I wouldn't be that bothered by that, except for the blatantly dishonest way he presents his arguments, as "I'm just asking questions" or "I just think some people ought to be concerned about America's security."

Weird how he keeps contrasting America's security with Israel's, as if the two are in deep conflict.

The "I'm just asking questions" is dishonest. What he should say, if he were an honest man, is "I've come to be deeply skeptical of Israel, and frankly, believe that their agents are behind Jeffrey Epstein and are blackmailing half of the US government."

Because that is what he's always hinting about when he talks about the corruption of the Regime. He's hinting that it's Israel behind most of it.

If he at least had the courage and integrity to state his suspicions out loud, I'd be less critical.

Because I do think Israel can and should be scrutinized. I don't like the right's reflex to say "Ah-ha, lefties, you're the real racists!," and conflate anti-Israel feelings with anti-semitism. All countries, including our own, and including Israel, are capable of acting amorally and even immorally in their own believed self-interest. No one should be blind to the deep amorality of any country, especially its institutionally-sociopathic "intelligence" bureaucracy.

I mean -- look what we've come to learn about our "best friend," the UK, these past few years.

And while I don't know that Jeffrey Epstein was an agent being run by Israel, I'm completely willing to believe it. It's not out of the question, certainly.

And certainly, it would explain a few things.

But Tucker Carlson makes me deeply mistrustful, because while it seems blatantly obvious to me that the gravamen of all his comments on Israel is his belief that Israel is secretly pulling the strings in America, he won't just say so.

He just keeps saying "I'm just asking questions."

An audience has the right to be told where you're trying to lead them.


And when someone hides something, I conclude they have reason to hide it. That is, when someone acts as if their beliefs are shameful, I believe that person is probably right about those beliefs being shameful.

Tucker Carlson seems to have some reason to hide his new improved beliefs -- and I think he's got enough self-awareness to know that spreading antisemitic "Jews control everything" conspiracy theories is slightly shameful.

I know, I know -- he's just asking questions. He doesn't have any suggested answers in mind. His mind is just a blank page.

If he has evidence to support his new suspicions, then he should present it. Just repeatedly muttering about all the congressmen who tell him this in secret isn't cutting it.
