Tucker Carlson: The Elite Pedigree of a Brilliant Cosplaying “Populist” - Tucker Carlson has made a fortune pretending to be a populist everyman, but his incredibly sketchy past includes ties to neocons, the CIA, and multiple trips to Nicaragua as a “freedom-fighter” with the Contras.

It's funny how a lot of idiots think carlson, a rich kid is for the everyman. It's an easy con to pull, pretend you give a fuck, play the victim and act like there is a global conspiracy against the everyman. What I think a lot of people like about carlson is him being antiblack and antisemitic.

Israel is an alt-right ethno-state that practices apartheid.

Israel is not an ethnostate, Christians, Muslims, Black Africans, Arabs all live in Israel. Israel also does not practice apartheid. Apartheid is minority class rule over the majority class in a system of systemic segregation/discrimination. Jews in Israel are the majority ruling over the majority being that the majority of the citizens are Jewish. Interfaith marriages are recognized in Israel. People of different religions and racial backgrounds eat in the same restaurants together, shop at the same stores and socialize with no government interference.

Israel is not an ethnostate

Israel does not allow immigration by anyone but ethnic Jews. It's an ethno-state.

Israel also does not practice apartheid.

Israel is an apartheid-based state which oppresses Palestinian people. There are few places in the world where governments construct a web of nationality and residency laws designed for use by one section of the population against another. Apartheid South Africa was one. So is Israel.

Interfaith marriages are recognized in Israel.

Interfaith marriages are not recognized by the state of Israel, effectively illegal.

Jews in Israel are the majority ruling over the majority being that the majority of the citizens are Jewish.

Only because Israel refuses to allow Palestinians to return to the land they lived in for centuries. It would be like S Africa running blacks out of South Africa, refusing to allow them to return, and then saying see, whites are the majority, we arent an apartheid state! So what Israel does is actually worse than what S Africa did.

    I don't always agree with Tucker but he has been one of the only voices of reason on TV speaking out against the wars.

    It doesnt matter if Carlson himself is an "everyman", obviously no one in the media is these days, what matters is that he brings up issues that affect the everyman that the rest of the media demonizes. They cant attack his message so they try to attack him personally, as if that matters.
