1. Should he only interview people he agrees with?
2. Does Nick not ask some reasonable questions about the US's involvement with the nation of Israel?
3. Do we no longer accept the democratic marketplace of ideas system and opt for a totalitarian system where only certain views are allowed to be expressed and others are suppressed? And if so, who gets to decide which views rightthink and which are beyond the pale?
You seem to be confusing this with a free speech issue. Tucker can interview anyone he likes. And of course, his viewers and sponsors can express their thoughts about who he interviews through their pocketbooks. It's called capitalism. And last I checked, Nick already had a website where he promotes some of his more heinous views. A quick search of google, and you'll find a ton of videos.
As you said, Tucker can interview anyone he likes. That is all that matters.
Response: This is a strawman. Nobody said or suggested Tucker couldn't interview anyone he likes.Mothra said:
The main critique of Tucker is the softball questions and soft-pedaling of heinous and racist ideas, as well as giving a platform to same. And that is of course a legitimate critique. It's not just that he chooses to interview evil and despicable (and in some case, murderous) people, it's that he fails to challenge them on those ideas and has a tendency to make them appear sympathetic. Or in some instances, he outright praises them (see Putin).
So Tucker is a soft interviewer in your opinion because he wanted to focus on certain things and not others. So what? Tucker asked him about the issues that Tucker was interested in. Tucker asked him:
1. Nick's origin story going from Cruz campaigner to America First.
2. Tucker asked Nick about young people and how they feel about certain issues (marriage, porn, etc.)
3. He asked Nick about his views of America First and the nation of Israel.
Response: I am glad you went on record as saying you take no issue with Tucker interviewing a Holocaust denier, Hitler sympathizer, Stalin lover, minority hater, and women loather. This was the point of my post, to find out where the groypers stand on such issues. Noted.Mothra said:
Unless it's the evil Ted Cruz of course.
A 25 year old with a podcast isn't the same as a 54 year old seasoned Senator.
Response: Agreed they're not the same. Other areas where they differ? Cruz isn't a white supremacist, woman hating racist.Mothra said:
As for Nick, I suspect there are a lot of things he and I agree on, just like a lot of people who hold some conservative views. It's the more heinous views on the Holocaust, Hitler, Stalin, minorities and women that are untenable, and the reason I don't listen to a POS like him.
Again, so what? The real reason you feel threatened by Fuentes is because you recognize that he can be persuasive and you fear he will persuade others. Fuentes speaks out of a disenchanted group of young people who have seen their country ravaged thru greed, selfishness and virtue signaling via the boomer generation's influence on society. Fix that issue and his support will dwindle. Ignore it, and his support will grow.
Saw what you will about Tucker but he has a heart for young people as this interview shows. If you watch it again, you will see Tucker trying to breath life into Nick especially with regard to marriage. You seem to want Nick (and those who follow him) destroyed but Tucker wants them redeemed.
See above and below.
Response: An even bigger issue is the sad, disenfranchised young and awkward white males always looking for a bogeyman to blame for their impotence. The answer is not to find the bogeyman. The answer is to point them to the truth. And the truth is, the Jews aren't responsible for their sad lot in life or the reason they can't get laid.
And yes, it does concern me that a racist, white supremacist, hate-monger is gaining such a foothold in the Republican party. That should concern anyone, because we need to look no further than the Democrats to find where that path leads. When you let the fringe elements speak loudest, and give credence to and a platform for their views, you are going to have a very hard time winning future elections. And that is absolutely what will happen to the Republicans if it allows groypers to gain control of the party. Kiss future elections goodbye.
So if we want to lose elections, we should absolutely take your advice, because that's the surest way to assure defeat.
As for Nick, I don't want him destroyed. I want him to repent and see the light. The way to do that is not by tossing him softballs, failing to challenge his extremists views, or giving him a platform to spew garbage. Sorry.
Sorry, I am not a Groyper but we see now why you made this post. Are you a boomer or Gen X because you are showing a contempt for young white males who don't have the same advantages you had? Your generation has no moral high ground if they did not give up their own jobs for racial harmony but rather forced the next generation to give up theirs and pulled up the ladder from them.
Also, if you really care about Nick, you could reach out to him. What is stopping you from doing that?
Lol. Always humorous to me when misguided young folk suffer under the delusion that their generation has it so much harder than the last. Yes, millennial, you've been so oppressed as compared to us Gen Xers.
I'm curious what made you so bitter? Did you lose an IT job to an Indian dude?
It should be a bad thing to want anyone who holds racist, supremacist or racist views to have a say in anything. But we live in interesting times where you guys and the wokesters share much in common.
Gen Xers are absolutely the most spoiled generation in American history.
At least the Boomers had to endure the 70ties...
Poor guy. Did mommy not let you watch Backyardigans as a kid or something? Didn't get the PS2 right when it came out?
Imagine being that much of a whiny ass *****. His great grandad fought in WWII, his GG grandad in WWI, his GGG grandad in the Civil War, his GGGG grandad took a wagon train across the country with his wife and kids to build a cabin by hand while fighting Indians and smallpox ... and Barbearian decides to turn into the biggest whiny ass ***** in human history.
