Everybody knows that the old ideas won’t help us. Religion is dead. Capitalism is dead. Communism is dead. Where will the answers of the next century lie? Particularly, when we’re facing a mental health epidemic and ecological melt down.

Tucker’s interview with Putin has been predictably heavily criticised by government and the legacy media. This is why.

Short Summary

  1. The conversation between Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin highlighted Russia’s disinterest in invading NATO countries, though it might be propaganda.
  2. The need to fund the military-industrial complex through taxes was emphasized, questioning the narrative of peace over militarization.
  3. The organization hosting the discussion conducts exclusive interviews with notable figures like Carlson and Glenn Greenwald, aiming to present unique perspectives.
  4. Putin is portrayed as a skilled communicator with an agenda, emphasizing his view of the Ukraine conflict as a regional dispute, likened to Texas seceding from the US.
  5. The importance of leadership, negotiation, and understanding the Russian perspective on feeling threatened by surrounding superpowers was discussed.
  6. Criticism was directed at legacy media for attacking Carlson’s interview with Putin, underlining the necessity of listening to diverse viewpoints.
  7. Concerns were raised about the potential devastation of a global war and the lack of public trust in institutions and mainstream narratives.
  8. The speaker criticized the military-industrial complex and advocated for true democratic control over war policies, urging viewers to think independently.
  9. Throughout, the speaker questions the motives behind scare tactics, the suppression of expert voices, and the benefits of negotiating with Russia, advocating for a more democratic and tolerant approach to conflict resolution.

    For anyone who stumbled onto this post, block OP. Dude is either a troll or a rightwing fuckwit; nearly everything he says/posts is downvoted (and for good reason).

    Just save yourself some time and move on.

      Yes, keep yourself in a bubble.

      Lord knows what would happen to this world if you are exposed to diverse ideas that you don’t agree with.

      FYI people left of Bernie Sanders are always called rightwing or “fringe”, I wonder why, possible due to groupthink… likely, but it may be something else…

      Self-censorship is your right, hope all is well!

        This reads like a schizophrenic’s fever dream. I’d say to seek help but I don’t think they offer that kind of help in your country of origin.

          Sorry for not being clear enough!

          • Legacy Media is also bias and they are corporations, their first priority before anything is profits, not journalism.

          • Exposing ourselves to diverse ideas can help us grow and improve, even with ideas we agree or disagree with.

          • A smear campaign, also referred to as a smear tactic or simply a smear, is an effort to damage or call into question someone’s reputation, by propounding negative propaganda. It makes use of discrediting tactics. It can be applied to individuals or groups. Common targets are public officials, politicians, political candidates, activists, and ex-spouses. The term also applies in other contexts, such as the workplace. The term smear campaign became popular around 1936.

          • Smear campaigns have been used before in the US and I have learned to not take it at face value until evidence is show, especially when Legacy Media is struggling to make the profits they strive for.

            You were clear enough! I just think your opinions are garbage! Still don’t respect what you have to say! Is that clear?!

              Respect in internet forums is not what I come here for.

              I come to share my diverse ideas and to learn and chat with people that do not think like me.

              Take care!
