John Oliver: Tucker Carlson’s carefully laundered white supremacist act is too dangerous to ignore


https://news.avclub.com/john-oliver-weighs-whether-mocking-tucker-carlsons-raci-1846475854

The Last Week Tonight host devoted 25 minutes to examining the rise of Carlson as Fox News' most-watched host. “I would like nothing more than to not play into his wildly offensive schtick,” Oliver said. As Oliver pointed out, Carlson practices and “I’m not touching you!” brand of “I’m just asking questions” bigotry that is genuinely dangerous. Oliver also noted that Tucker Carlson Tonight is popular among white supremacists like David Duke, who hosts a podcast analyzing Carlson's show.

reply

David Duke is not inherently oppressive therefor not inherently immoral. So I don't know that this argument is supposed to be.

reply

I'm going to listen to a Brit idiot whose own home country arrests you for having a knife without a license, ignores the Muslim invasion/rape gangs.

Yeah ok you moron...go back to your crooked teeth nation and fix it along with your inbred royal family

reply

The left gets a massive case of exploding head syndrome whenever anyone like Carlson reports reality. They can't handle the truth because it contradicts all the lies they tell and the pure bullshit they believe.

reply

When the corporate brown-nosers call people they don't like white supremacists, are they just disingenuous and are completely aware how immature they sound, or are they genuinely dumb enough to think a corporate news network would actually put one of the two or three white supremacists left in the world on television?

reply

Leftist liberals are the biggest racists out there.

reply

Oh, by golly, thanks for the heads up !

What about the Rightist liberals? But let's not go there.

reply

There are no rightist liberals.

reply

Liberalism is classically right wing

reply

Hey, whatever you say bud. They aren't now

reply

Are you saying classical liberals don’t exist?

Old G.

Does "how" really matter? You are against the idea of my group surviving at all. YOu are so hostile that you are attacking me for wanting to survive. I find it hard to believe that you give a fuck about "how".

Question. Do you consider your self racist and if not, why not?

reply

Haha... how am I hostile? I ask you a question and now you are evading by calling me hostile... you are a joke...

I want to know how? But I guess you do not have an answer... or?

I can answer your questions easily... I do not consider myself a racist because I do not judge people on the colour of their skin but by their actions...

I can ask you the same questions... do you consider yourself a racist and if not, why not?

reply

YOu are attacking me for wanting to survive. That is insanely hostile.

My action here, is wanting to survive. That is what you are attacking me for.


Nope. I am not racist. Lord knows I would not attack any racial or ethnic group for just WANTING TO SURVIVE.


reply

I am asking a question... how is that hostile?

You say you want your group to survive... I am asking how will you do that in a peaceful manner?

Just answer the question instead of evading it by accusing me of being hostile...

reply

You are attacking me for wanting to survive. That is insanely hostile. You are opposed to me surviving. YOu are EMOTIONALLY offended by the idea of me surviving.

And you can't see that that is hostile? You are either gaslighting me, or quite deluded.

reply

There is only one hostile person in this conversation and that is you... try and read your own comment...

I am just trying to get you to answer a question... but I guess you do not have an answer... so now you are trying to change the conversation to me being hostile... Look who is emotional... (here is a clue... it is not me)

I thought we were having a discussion... but I guess when the questions get tough you run and hide...

reply

I'm not the one opposed to your ethnic group surviving. YOU are the one opposed to me surviving.

That you take that position and then have the gall to claim that it is not "hostile" to me and my group, is just you playing some silly game.


Discussing "means" when you are opposed to the "end" is irrelevant. You oppose all means because you oppose the end. That you ask about the means is an attempt to distract from teh real question here, which is why you are so hostile to Whites.


What do you identify as?

reply

Well I am as white as they come if you are asking about my skin colour as I am from the northern part of Europe... But I do not see white people as a group... I have friends from Cuba, The US, Germany, England, New Zealand etc. Some of them are white, some are black and some are both... but you know what they have in common... they are all human beings...

So if you feel I am opposed to your survival... then you are wrong... I want you to survive as much as all other people on this planet...

If you feel that is hostile... then I do not think you know what hostility means...

reply

1. I asked you what you identify as. You told me what you do NOT identify as. What do you identify as?

2. Whites are a group. You not identifying as that, does not change that, nor explain why you don't want them to survive.

3. You have attacked me for wanting my group to survive. You have not explained WHY you did that.

reply

I identify myself as a Dane and as a human being... is that good enough for you?

I think I pretty clearly stated I want people to survive (white people are included in that group).

When have I attacked you... please give me some examples?

Try to see if you can answer the questions instead of accusing me of this and that... I have asked multiple questions you still haven't answered... I cannot keep repeating them... but you can find them in my previous replies...

reply

If everyone is brown, then white people have not survived as a group.

If your thinking is that you want to see "people" survive, then why did you need to know my specific group? It seems that you DO care about groups within the larger group of "humans".

reply

I needed to know because I wanted to understand what you were alluding to... when you kept saying my group or my people... You answer was as expected but I do not like to guess... If people has something to say... say it... it makes it much easier to communicate...

Again you do not seem capable of answering my questions?

I guess I do care about certain people more than others but it is not based on the the skin colour of people... I value freedom of speech, democracy, people who treat people like they want to be treated... I dislike religious & political extremism, racism, science denialism etc.

That brings me back to a question I have asked you numerous times... but you keep ignoring it... Do you believe in evolution?

reply

1. Yes, I believe in evolution. Why do you ask?

2. You did not address my point, that in your scenario, white people do NOT survive as a group.

3. All I asked of you, was if you believed that my desire to survive made me a bad person. You still have not explained why you needed to know which group is was, before answering.

reply

1. Then your obsession with the colour of peoples skin doesn't make any sense... We have evolved from apes to humans... and we will keep evolving until the sun burns out or until we (humans) destroy the earth (ourselves).

2. It was not really a scenario... I just asked you if it was a problem if everybody were brown in 500 years... I now understand that in your world view that means white people have not survived... but basically they have just evolved into something else...

3. I answered that pretty clearly in my last comment.

reply

1. Ask the neanderthals if the traces of their dna in modern people, makes then feel like they have survived. Oh, you can't. Because they did not. I want my group to survive.

2. You have explained why YOU don't care. That does not explain why you care that I have a different view. What does it mean to you that I want my group to survive? Why are you hostile to our survival?

reply

1. But why is it important that the specific group you call White People live forever? And why are you obsessed with this group and not all human beings?

Which brings me to your 2nd question... 'Why I am hostile to "your" groups survival'... I am not hostile I am trying to understand why you feel this way? I do not understand why me asking you to elaborate is seen as hostility... I am curious to why you feel this way...

History tells us that Homo Sapiens through evolution at some point will evolve into something different... that change does not scare me... it is how the world works. But you seem to feel that white people are the pinnacle of human evolution... why is that?

reply

1. I am emotionally invested in my group.
2. You called me "ignorant" for even identifying as my group. YOu have grilled me for details of how I would "fight" in my attempt to survive. Your hostility is pretty clear.
3. NOthing about my wanting to survive indicates that I feel that whites are superior. However, that you made that assumption is further evidence of your hostility.

reply

1. please explain why... elaborate on this emotional investment?
2. I feel it is and ignorant view which is why I am trying to understand it... Yes I have asked this questions numerous times... but that is only because you have not answered it yet? Again I do not understand why that is perceived by you as hostility?
3. Really... Then again explain to me why this is so important to you? and please a bit more than you are emotionally invested

reply

1. It is normal and healthy to be invested in teh survival of your family, friends and peers.

2. I detect in your words and actions hostility. Are you claiming I am in error?

3. Nature survival instinct. Love. Loyalty. Generosity. That this is alien to you, is something wrong with you.

reply

1. No that is very normal... but we are not taking about family and friends... but a group you call all white people? And if I have understood you correct (please correct me if I am wrong) this group contains all white people on the planet earth?

2. I think you detect a lot of hostility that is not there... which might explain why you feel as you do...

3. These are all natural instincts... but doesn't answer why you care for the group white people... So you would have more loyalty towards a white person on the other side of the globe that you have never met... then let us say your black neighbor who you have known most of your life?

reply

1. My family is all White. My friends and peers are mostly White. Your pretense of not understanding how groups work, is not very credible.

2. You said that you identify as a Dane. Note how i have NOT grilled you as to why, or what you mean by that, or how you think that will manifest or any such questions. You identify that way, and it does not hurt me and I respect it and that is the end of it. YOU are hostile.

3. I identify as a member of multiple, overlapping groups. I am also a member of various communities. My hypothetical black neighbor would fall under both city and Nation groups, and depending on the context, that could easily outweigh or be outweighed by the White grouping. The way you need normal human interaction explained to you, is not very credible.

reply

1. How do I not understand how groups work? It is you who have presented this gigantic group called white people which you want to survive... but when I try to get you to explain something more about this group... it is suddenly friends and family... If you would have started this conversation with I want my friends and family to survive... there would have been no discussion because most humans would feel the exact same way... I also want my friends and family to survive... but this is not what we are talking about at least not what you presented at the begining of this discussion... but your hypocrisy is now out in the open... because you cannot give me a valid answer to why you want your group (white people not friends and family) to survive.

2. Again with the hostility... Is that what you throw at me anytime you do not have a decent answer to my question

3. Well you brougt up the group white people and that you want them to survive... so that is the group we are discussing... But please explain to my which other groups you are part of outweigh the group white people... I would assume family, then friends are more important than some white guy you have never met?

reply

1. Everything you say, is you acting like you need the concept of groups explained to you.
2. You identified as Dane. Note how I did not grill you on it, nor call you a name for doing so. I respect how you identify. Do you really not see a difference in our respective responses to each other?
3. I made a passing reference to how I was called a bad person for wanting my group to survive. I was hoping that you would agree that that was really out of line of that person, thus us finding common ground and the discussion could move on from there. Instead you seemed to just accept that, and instead focused on why I would identify as white. And to call me a name for doing so. Do you not see how this makes you look?

reply

1. No... it is you not capable of explaining what the group 'White People' consists of... when I dig deeper... you come up with family and friends... c'mon nobody was ever questioning people's desire to protect his family and friends

2. We are not discussing what you identify yourself as... that is pretty clear... but what does it mean when you say you will fight for your people's survival... I asked you for peaceful examples of this fight... but you still haven't answered that question?

3. Did I call you a bad person? Sorry if I didn't defend you against some other poster... I thought you could handle yourself... What name did I call you?

reply

I am not incapable of doing it, I am refusing to do it, because I am not playing your asinine games.

I'm White. Deal with it.

I made a comment about wanting my people to survive, and you are pretending that that is confusing to you, when obviously, the truth is that you are opposed to it, for some reason you will not share.

reply

haha that is great... why did you even reply in the first place...

So you are capable but refuse? That is a great way to have a discussion...

What won't I share? You brought up: 'I want my people to survuve' I am asking you to elaborate so I can understand you reasoning... But as you said you refuse to... I guess that is because your reasoning is pathetic... oh well I will never know...

reply

No elaboration is needed. My meaning was clear. YOu are grilling me with asinine questions, not because you don't understand, but because you oppose my goal, but don't want to clearly state that.


The crux of the matter is, that the vast majority of what gets called w.s. today, as per the op, is NOT actually white supremacy.


It is white people who dare to identify as white, or God Forbid, actually state that they have interests as White people and want to pursue them.

Such as my stated desire to survive.


Actual, real w.s. are as rare as hen's teeth.

reply

Oppose your goal??? How can I oppose something which has not been explained?

You say you want your people to survive... I have asked you time and time again... to explain how you want to reach that goal... But you never come with anything concrete...

It seems like you either don't know how you want your people to survive or you are afraid to tell me?

reply

Not at all. As I clearly pointed out, you opposed it, without the means being discussed. Your opposition is clearly based on the goal, not the means.

Asking about the means, is you trying to find excuses for your opposition, instead of admitting what the real reason is.


reply

Again no answer... just you trying to turn it around... which clearly shows that you are in way over your head...

Either answer my questions or don't bother to reply...

reply

Your question is irrelevant to your opposition, as I clearly pointed out.

And your reason for it, is so dark, that you cannot risk discussing it.

I identify as White, and want my people to survive.

You have a problem with that, for reasons you are unwilling to share.

LIkely anti-white racism.

reply

You only try to make it irrelevant because you are not capable of giving a coherent answer...

And as you seem to know my reason please tell me... it is apparently so dark an scary?





reply

1. You oppose my goal. THe questions you have asked, are designed to lead AWAY from the crux of the matter, which is WHY, you oppose it.

2. My goal, for any reader, is just for my group to survive. That is what has triggered oldG.

3. I just did. Anti-white racism.

reply

1. Again you are wrong... how can oppose what what you won't describe... explain how you will reach your goal? And then I will tell you if I oppose it...

2. Nothing triggered me... remember you replied to me in the begining... so the only one triggered is you..

3. So because I believe in equal rights for all human beings no matter race or religion... I am anti-white... I guess that says more about you than me...

reply

If you believed in equal rights for all groups, you would support the right of Whites to identify as White and to pursue their interests such as surviving.

Your actions show you to be anti-white.

reply

You are like a broken record... By all means identify yourself as white... I have never said you couldn't... But still you haven't told how to reach your goal?

reply

Yeah, you didn't say I couldn't, You just insulted me for doing so.

Your opposition is not based on my means. It is based on your anti-white racism.

reply

Again a lot of hostility from you... instead of just answering my questions?

When did I insult you?

And now another unfounded accusation... please explain how I am anti-white?

reply

"Why do you ask?"

Stop attacking!!!!
