I got banned for telling the guy posting Tucker Carlson on “Progressive Politics” that he’s a chickenshit coward because he couldn’t give a reason why he’s platforming Nazi shit and instead deflecting to a hundred other topics.
I’m not mad that I got banned, I was very rude to the guy, but it is pretty gross that they’re still promoting a reactionary white supremacist as “progressive politics.” I reported the post to the mod and got banned instead.
Oh well, that place has a history of hosting that kind of garbage anyway. No big loss.
Yeah that community hosts weird shit from time to time.
That poster in particular I think gets caught up in promoting some nasty stuff while trying to take a very hardline anti-imperialist stance. I think it’s a sort of “broken clocks” attitude, but that ends up promoting people like Tucker Carlson or posting straight up antisemitic shit (no, not anti-Zionist, yes, there’s a difference, I don’t wanna do this whole shtick rn, I mean content that is bigoted against Jews as a whole, not just anti-Israel).
It’s exhausting to see, because that’s exactly how these Nazi extremists justify themselves and normalize their attitudes within different communities and they’re falling for it.
Exactly. Carlson says what is useful to expand his audience, and treating him like a reasonable person is the trap that he wants people to fall into.
He was giving Nick Fuentes tips on how to be more mainstream just a few months ago.
