Boo fucking hoo... FAFO.

The best part about the pneumonic plague that escaped from the Russian biolab is the fact that Russia is now denying it was pneumonic plague, and claiming it was just some kind of pneumonia that killed the lab woman. Russians and their simps believe this bullshit too.

Tucker Carlson grilling Jacob Rees-Mogg about the UK defeating Hitler, provoking Russia @TuckerCarlson @Jacob_Rees_Mogg

I hear Carlson a bit differently here. Yes, he's definitely suggesting he'd be fine with the Nazis winning. the war and defeating Britain. But what comes through for me is the profound intellectual and moral unseriousness. It's a kind of debater's nihilism that thinks any good sounding talking point is a good point. For instance, he says at least if Germany won, Britain would be speaking a "European language." That sounds clever to un-clever people. But it's moronic on its own terms (Would Tucker be okay with Americans speaking Spanish? That's a European language, too). It reduces the interests and issues involved in WWII down to a ridiculous single metric. It's childish bullshit, but it sounds sophisticated to the insipid and the ignorant and it thrills those who understand the trolling of it. And that's why this interview is representative of Tucker more broadly these days. He's at sea. Nothing really matters except "winning" the conversation, the moment, the clicks. He's embraced a kind of Nietzschean amoralism that thinks sowing doubt in any notions of right v wrong, good v evil, traditional patriotism v transgressive iconoclasm is self-rewarding. "Neocons" and their ilk think Putin is bad? I'll claim he's awesome with the dumbest arguments imaginable packaged like they're smart. Similarly, Tucker likes to traffic in the idea that Hitler should have won, not because Tucker's a big believer in Nazism. He's not a big believer in *anything* other than the bit itself. He likes the idea that the Nazis should have won, because he likes turning over turtles and being a dick for the amusement of people who celebrate dickishness. More specifically, he also likes it because the argument that it was a good thing we defeated the Nazis is inconvenient to him and his pet causes. That America and the UK were the good guys still has heft, substance, and authority, and Tucker's whole transvaluative approach is to burn down good things with weight and substance by elevating evil bullshit into seriousness to prove his own transgressive courage. Every argument is permitted and equally valid because all truths are equally just matters of opinion. The superior opinion isn't the one with the better facts or the better reasoning, it's just the one more confidently or sneeringly expressed. That's why this interview went badly for Tucker, because he ran into someone who actually knows true things and is confident in what he knows. This is also why Tucker spends most of his time talking to cranks, bigots, weirdoes, and hacks who are good at sounding like experts so long as their bullshit goes unchallenged. Tucker doesn't give a rat's ass about ideas or history. He cares about vibes and sowing moral doubt about what is good by hawking moral support for what is bad. The Holocaust becomes a triviality in that project, which in a very real way, is worse than denying it happened. He's denying it didn't really matter much if it did.

These are not serious people.

This is absolutely priceless. Tucker just states as fact that Russia has a much larger economy than the UK, is completely wrong and gets schooled.

Russia is my enemy

"Bucha was a Ukrainian false flag" is the dumbest propaganda of the century. Note the russian escorting the Ukrainian in a blue jacket at gun point. Note the Ukrainian in the blue jacket dead with his hands tied behind his back. Now fuck off, you war crime denying asshole.

The only things Putin cares less than Ukrainians about, are Russians.

Mariupol? Not only did you bomb a theatre full of children, clearly marked as such, you also concreted over the bodies and reopened it in some macabre and wretched display of disrespect and savagery. You deserve nothing.

If you choose to do business in the swamps of Mordor, don't cry when the orcs steal your shit. FAFO.

European politicians: Be like Sikorski.

Boom, motherfuckers!

Russia is starving Ukrainians in the occupied city of Oleshky. More than 6,000 people, including 200 children, have been deprived of basic necessities since May 26 and are unable to flee. This is genocide. Russia is a monster. Google Oleshky

Trump went crazy and bombed Iran. That’s why your gas prices are going up. Russia has already started WW3. Just like they started WW2 with Nazi Germany., by invading neighbouring countries

Ah yes, the famous "fair" elections.

Bro killed or seriously injured over a million of his people and spent $1.5T on failing to achieve literally anything in Ukraine. But he watered a tree, so it's ok. Russia is a nation of cucks.

La mayoría de esos son nacionalistas extremos, y libertarios pro-milei bruh, la mayoría ahora mismo estamos muy ocupados en otras cosas para concentrarnos en Malvinas cuando tenemos un gobierno que constantemente pone en riesgo nuestra soberania al aliarse con Israel.

Oh cool, it's a "Ukraine will be lucky if it survives the winter of x" post, the first of the year. Doesn't feel like the end of summer without them. 🫵🤣

Russia literally bombed a supermarket today, killing five people.
