Is Tucker Carlson Russias greates asset in the US

@ron122 Funny to watch Democrats desperately try to deflect attention from their utter failures. "Trump's supporting Putin! Big Oil is responsible for the high gasoline prices!" Democrats will never take responsibility for the nosedive the country is taking under their "leadership." Hard to say which one is the bigger embarrassment - Biden or Harris.

@graphite That's their game. Deflect.

@graphite @ron122 Maybe it has something to do, that no one can draw a direct line to inflation and oil-prices on a global scale and someone for his first year in office. The only people that apperently see this connection and correlation are people that have a long history being bigots that scapegoat individuals and groups for everything they don't like.

@Kwek00 Yeah sure. All this started after Biden came into office. He needs to own up to his mistakes but he won't. He's very weak and cannot ever tell the truth.

@Kwek00 You're brainwashed.

@ron122 I'm not the guy blaming people for a correlation that I can't explain. You are the one speaking from pure bias, I'm just pointing out how simplistic that narrative is.

@Kwek00 No sense arguing with you. Bye🥱

@ron122 Well, going: "A happens because B" without finding a direct correlation, isn't really worth my time either. I still hope you snap out of it at some point, so that at least when you are older you can understand how r*tarded your 40 year old self really is.

@Kwek00 🤣 Go away.

@Kwek00 can we draw a line between inflation and lockdown and the insane amount of money printed over the last couple of years because....covid?

@gol979 Yes, because of the pandemic there are supply issues. And because during the lockdown there was less fuel needed, the market adjusted. And now that more people are moving back to the workplace, and goods and services are back in higher demand (and with it, transportion). The current supply vs the current demand is diffrent then before COVID hence prices go up. That's one of the theories of why you have inflation.

When you go look at money being poured into the economy, this has been going on since the last crisis in 2008. And a good number of governements (and by extension national banks) have been keeping the stimulus going, even when the economy was booming in 2016 till 2019. So that is also a factor that can impact inflation.

@Kwek00 makes you wonder, as we all know this would be the outcome (impoverishment of the most vulnerable), then the ppl enacting these insane fiscal and economic policies also know the outcome....almost like theres an agenda?

@gol979 In my worldvieuw, not even in it's most utopic state, things like: basic food, energy, education, medication, public transport, housing and access to the internet, shouldn't belong in a free market framework. They are just too important to a society.

But since that idea isn't on the table and we have to do with what we have. Then my answer is that a society should be open to redistibute wealth, create a paradigm that makes it easier for young people to have an equal playingfield to develop in. This means supporting the weak in society at the expense of those that are better off [i](for what ever reason they might be better off)[/i]. So that you stabelise your society instead of creating these incredible imbalance that only generates conflict.

But since the late 1970s, a lot of western countries embraced ideals that belong to a neoliberal framework. And in that framework redistibution is perceived as heresey, a sin because you are "stealing" from those that did "nothing wrong". And in that framework, you get all the issues where the poor get more poor and you practically destroy your middle class. If there is an agenda, then that's practically it. But there are no shadowy conspiracies here, it's just a huge bulk of people that believe in these neoliberal values and they vote for people that believe the same stuff. And these people blame those that failed in society for their own shortcommings as if the world really is that simple. As if these people "failed" (not succeeded) in some sort of vacuum.

The pandemic just made the last pargraph worst. This isn't a conspiracy. If the measures during the pandemic weren't taken, a lot more people would have died. And who would die first? Well, those that don't have the means to get help. No matter what bad thing happens in society, people that don't have means will feel it the hardest. That's just how societies work, if you don't have the means to get out, you are stuck.

@Kwek00 as you know, i disagree with your analysis on covid and it looks more and more like an excuse to control demolish the current system and usher in the "new normal"

Why arent those ideas on the table? The system wont allow ideas of equity but many defend this insane system

@gol979 What I'm proposing is revolutionairy, not to mention that it has to be doctored out as a system before you implement it. Because these things are so crucial, just pushing this notion into legeslation and praying that it will work might cause disasters that render future support for these ideas moot. If you want to do, this you need a large amount of support of people that are conciously willing to reshape their society and understand that legeslation by itself is not enough. You have to live accordingly. This wide support, doesn't excist right now, and a vanguard putting it into place is just asking for disaster.

The redistibution part is on the table. But certain nations are still not ready to push it through the political channels. Either these countries have a large group of people that are ideologically inclined not to push for this [i]or[/i] they have a significant group of people that have democratic power to stop these legeslations because they don't see why [i]or[/i] they are too busy blaming scapegoats because they are too stupid to understand some of the complexity of the system that they are living in. There might be more reasons, but these 3 are the ones that I think are the most prominent. But I'm open to hear more.

You disagree, because your entire pandemic reasoning is pretty much on the same level as "inflation" because "Biden". 🤷‍♂️

@Kwek00 i dont think we need a government. Humans/society will work without these parasites

Thats your interpretation and not my issue. Youre projecting this left/right paradigm on to me when i dont even see that....orange man and segregation joe represent the same system and institutions

@gol979 A society can't even share the amount of toilet paper during 2020. I can only imagine how fucked up it gets if you don't have a place where power is centralised and at the same moment constrained.

I said the analysis is on the same level. In other words, it's equally r*tarded. That has nothing to do with left or right, but bringing that up kinda supports what I was expressing. It's just stupid.

@Kwek00 the toilet paper insanity was a direct product of the system. Ppl see in the media "toilet roll shortage" and lose their shit because they are in a constant state of fear (also derived from this system). It was also a test to see how primed the population was to receive these messages. Evidently so ready that they will defend the same system and ppl that are oppressing them

@gol979 Maybe human beings just have fear built into them. It can be manipulated, it can be heightened. But at the end of the day, people are fearfull because that's what has kept caveman alive. And the fact that people are more busy living their lives, instead of figuring out how they tick themselves keeps people from becoming aware of their own thraits. And fear is an awfull advisor, once people are fearfull they act in ways that are destructive. Sometimes to themselves but most of all for others. It's that fear that makes people cling together for protection from the outside. It aids them to create tribes, choose leaders, and follow common prescriptions to save the group and themselves from the outside world. And maybe, just maybe, if my perception is right, that's the reason why far left ideologies are not meant for this era, because people are just not ready for it. Because from the liberal center all the way through the far left there is always this idea that humanity as a whole would just stop abiding to these internal mechanisms and drives if we just change the sytem. As if these drives are product of the system, because lefties just can't accept that maybe just maybe it's not and it's inherrent to how people function and have always functioned because they haven't been able to control that part of their human nature.
