‘He’s obv. a piece of shit but…’

Oh really? If he’s such a strong anti-imperialist how is he a piece of shit? Maybe explain that instead of just hand waving literally every concern your comrades reply with and calling them libs.

Some of you read the front cover of ‘Imperialism: the highest stage of capitalism’ and decided that there’s no material basis for the idea?

No, seriously, let’s have a struggle sesh about this, defend the fash in front of the entire community. If his faux anti-imperialism is good enough for you to throw others under the bus, explain why the rest of us deserve to die

Most people on here see through his bs. Even in that thread it was that one comment chain where a lot of the “handing it to him” occurred.

The real concern of Tucker Carlson is his reach with “normies.” I’ve seen people from my family liking some of his videos mentioning the US was going to invade Venezuela weeks before it happened and him disputing Venezuela as a drug haven. Mind you we’re in a country where our diaspora makes a large chunk of the “illegals” Tucker hates.

Tucker is like Ron Paul in the 2000’s. Someone with a mainstream spotlight who outflanks the Dems on imperialism and wins over potential leftists to their weird right-wing politics.

Same thing with that Chinese professor.

Even in that thread it was that one comment chain where a lot of the “handing it to him” occurred.

I just went through the entire thread and even in that one comment chain, it's literally just one guy from grad who does the "handing it to him" and they get strong pushback from half a dozen hexbear users for it. I frequently wonder how much of the JDPON Don memeing on here is half-serious, the site sometimes fixates on hating libs so much that some people have ended up doing a kind of lesser evilism for the GOP. But these have always been outliers, and none of them chimed in during that comment chain, probably because Trump attacking Iran has shut them up for good.
