Except for his claim that it's exactly like Charlie Kirk
It's disappointing to see smart people make such a dumb argument. Tucker did it too. One was a guy sitting there talking, another was driving a car toward an armed agent. Whether you think she "deserved" it or not, one killing was infinitely more justifiable, since there was at least potential cause.
I see the same on the right. Maybe not quite as bad. But they spent years attacking cancel culture and censorship at universities, only to do that for Israel.
I don't see it as near a big of an issue, and not nearly as universal on the right but, yeah, there have been some big failures and hypocrisies.
The thing is, how have they commandeered what Trump does, and how do they manage to convince the MAGA base. It's not fully a cult, as someone correctly pointed out to me (Iran, Epstein), but it sure looks like a cult when people go from "no regime change" to "yay regime change" over the course of a week.
It's not always the same people...but often is. Yeah, very culty. "No regime change...oh, Trump is doing regime change, we have to support it now." Sad.

Yeah. I can see it used as a way to hold up a mirror to the right, as in "how would you feel if people talked about Charlie Kirk like that?"
I think they're good people and let their moral outrage drive them to that argument.

Maybe not the biggest issue, but free speech is pretty important. And Trump is literally forcing universities to enact DEI policies for Jewish students, and hate speech codes. I was ambivalent at first, thinking that it was a weapon to crush these leftist universities, but unfortunately it was just what it seemed.

Many of the people I liked sold out. Matt Gaetz. Steve Bannon. I liked Cernovich and Jack Posobiec on war, but they're insufferable. And Nikki Haley's brat (named Nalin Haley like a porn parody of Nikki) was very reasonable on Tucker Carlson, only to go, and I quote: "Stfu America runs the world. We do what tf we want when we want. WE ARE THE LAW". Just embarrassing.
This must be how it feels to be a leftist and be on the same side as blue-haired people with 19 facial piercings talking about trans genocide and queerliberation requiring police abolition.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Fuck, I liked the Haley kid on Tucker as well; he seemed to have his head on straight. Embarrassing indeed if he switched like that, absolute nonsense. I liked Bannon, but haven't trusted him in ages. Shame about Gaetz though; he seemed pretty solid. How hard is it to just remain anti-war/intervention? Wow.
