      Why do you think anything Tucker Carlson ever does fits that description?

          If you see the rascist, fascist Tucker Carlson as anything but a horrible human being that never does anything but horrible things, I question your own beliefs when it comes to race and fascism.

          Also, no one is going to click on the YouTube links of someone who praises Tucker Carlson.

              By that, do you mean you share Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people? Because that may have to be brought up in future conversations. It’s a very important detail about you.

                I don’t see a point in continuing this line of conversation.

                Your beliefs are yours, and that is fine.

                I try to hold people I do not agree with and those I do to a higher standard; I do not outright follow what seems like MSM talking points or what the status quo wants us to believe of such people, especially when such labels are seen to be taken by some as outright gospel.

                I have my own bias against certain people, but I will still try to take the time to directly listen to what they say until I make a sound judgment of their character.

                I try to push against my own bias so I may change my views as I continue to learn, but I do not think it would fit with MSM and the status quo talking points.

                I hope this explains a bit more about where we differ. 

                TLDR: All is well; have a great day!

                  All that I needed you to explain was whether or not you agreed with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people. It was a yes or no question.

                  Your refusal to answer it suggests to me that it’s a yes.

                • You differ by supporting a terrible human being who was kicked off his platform for lying and making his company liable to a massive lawsuit, and then immediately going to Russia to show his support for a tyrannical dictator. That is questionable character.

                  This does not put off the “I’m totally above it all and chill #based” vibes you wish it did.
