Yeah I feel like people who act Tucker was being stupid in any capacity weren't paying attention. He maybe had one or two daft points about the shopping trolleys and things like that but generally his point was sound.
It's people like Jon Stewart doing what they do and taking someone out of context when they try and have a bit of nuance but almost everybody is doing that these days and it pisses me off. The reason I rant about Jon Stewart in particular is because he fucking crusaded against that back when Bush was in power now he's completely flipped the script.
The good news is, nobody watches Fox News anymore, so he can't use that old hat and I suspect Jon Stewart is way more out of touch with what's been happening to television and his format isn't going to fly online and he's going to absolutely tank as people realise how petty he's gotten and he is not the centrist crusader he paints himself out to be. It does actually make me feel sorry for people he's gone after because for all I know I've potentially fallen for a lot of shit back in the day with the way they always deceptively show this stuff to their own audiences and I'm not above admitting that. I certainly wouldn't have the breadth of views and perspectives I have now had I gone brainless and joined the normie crowd watching late night shows constantly.
I think what the actual issue is that the average Russian annual income is like 4x less than the average US income, so the prices aren’t gonna be the same regardless
This is true, but people really need to look at the maths on other stuff aside from food and it makes me hate my own country so much. Callum of the lotus eaters has his own channel where he visits Russia. Their gas among other things is cheap as fuck, you can do this sort of maths as well in European countries depending on where you go if it's not a silly overpriced tourist hotspot some of it was surprising for me.
I also hated how Poland seems to allegedly have this rule around car insurance purely being based around the value of the car, how quaint. Which means the car insurance companies can't jack up the prices to the ridiculous degrees I see in my own country.
I wasn’t talking about Tuckers shopping trip - I got what he was saying there in reference to how the people have food and it’s plentiful so our sanctions and war aren’t doing squat.
I was talking about his Moscow subway video and his “why can’t we have nice things?” take.
