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.
The why matters. He’s not opposing aid because he’s anti-genocide or anti-colonization. Just because his success might support the same goal as progressives doesn’t mean he’s doing something progressive.
It’s like praising someone who opposes the Proud Boys because they have a Hispanic figurehead. Anti-racists might seek to use them to achieve a positive result, but that doesn’t mean the person is practicing anti-racism even on a very limited scale.
There are some people who are conservative on a lot of things but legitimately progressive on a few others, but that’s not what’s happening here with Carlson.
The situation in Palestine is so dire that you need people from all ideologies and political affiliation to do the job in going after Israel propaganda . I don’t want Israel to finish it’s plan to ethnically cleansing all Palestinians from the river to the sea . I want evangelical to stop voting for Israel . Let’s use Tucker as an useful idiot . Let’s keep talking about his supremacist without tying it up with the genocide .
