The way that the usual right wing shits are trying to spin yesterday's news is fucking pathetic.


looks like he's making a jacking off motion
Shut
The
Fuck
Up

I'm so fucking sick and tired of this fucking "OH NO! WHAT IF THE RIGHT STARTS DOING THIS!!!!"

Fuck off.
The right IS ALREADY KILLING US.

They skipped protesting and went right for ethnic and social cleansing.

So fuck you. We've long since passed the point of being peaceful.

While we are run over and gunned down and bombed, you worry about how they'll react to people outside of a house chanting?

Just fuuuuuuuuck you.

While I don't condone violence, I also wouldn't feel any sympathy towards these people if something bad were to happen to them.

They enable domestic terrorism against the majority of the country on a daily basis. Even if we treat them kindly and respectfully, it will not change their attitude towards us.

They should fear for their own safety for a change.

Week after fucking BOMBS are mailed to the homes of several prominent liberal figures, people complain that protesting on someone's lawn might cause the far-right to escalate.

As much as I hate Carlson (and I deeeeeespise him), going after media/"journalists" like this in a menacing way is not helpful. It amplifies the kind of conflict-driven eliminationist rhetoric that makes people feel like they have license to use violence.

To be fair, that racist fuckboy has been doing exactly that for years, on a network that thrives on white victimhood, which enables a party whose only constant idea is the open demonization of minorities. And there's no institutionalized pushback against these, no penalty to being a harmful shit, so I don't see what kind of Justice there can be here within institutional and civil boundaries.

That argument only works in a society that actually enforces common norms of decency.

Right-wing journalist TARGETED by nonviolent protesters. Republican senator HUNTED DOWN by vicious mob of restaurant hecklers. Conservative Americans PERSECUTED by existence of minorities.

(the principled person, on banning alt-right on twitter): this is wrong guys what if we were banned for tweeting our views?

(the principled person, on cancelled alt-right speeches on campus): oh my guys this is bad, what if our free speech on campus was threatened?

(the principled person, on decking richard spencer in the face): ok wow guys this is too far, what if someone punched us in the face for saying things?

(the principled person, on protesting in front of tucker carlson's house): this has to stop guys what if people protested in front of our house for somw unspecified reason?

at a certain point you have no principles except guaranteeing your own personal comfort.

It's the dumbest possible argument one could make and people in this thread are leaning on it HARD. You can't break through that kind of obtuseness.

I'm so sick of the, "think of how the right will respond," "but the right can twist this to their benefit" bullshit. People are dying, they're having basic rights taken away, and one political party isn't even hiding the fact that their purpose is now to eliminate any lifestyle that threatens a straight white male-dominated society. Do NOT blame the people that are responding to grievous acts against humanity. Defending someone like Carlson essentially allows Trump to play his victim card anytime someone is critical when he says something hateful. Carlson has been spewing hateful, dehumanizing rhetoric for DECADES, and we are finally seeing the fallout of such behavior. So now that people are terrified and fighting back, THEY'RE to blame, and how will the right respond?! THE RIGHT ALREADY ESCALATED EVERYTHING TO THIS POINT.

To burn his house down with his wife inside is self-defense?

"When they go low , we go to bedrock"

Interesting considering that he wishes multiple non-white families would be ripped apart forever as well. Stop sticking up for a white supremacist and those complacent in said racism. They want genocide. People's lives are literally at stake.

Genuinely, it should never have to be like this. If Carlson had even a modicum of intelligence or critical thinking skills, he would stop what he's doing ASAP and cease to exist in the public eye.

What cracks me up is that these 'antifa' types probably used their voting power 2 years ago in such a way that it assisted Trump's ascension. The Right wasn't the only group that fell for Russian disinformation campaigns.

One insane fuckwit who was inspired by... Keep going with that line of logic, I'm sure you can make it.

Then Block his house, build a wal in front of it, dig a moat, make his personal life difficult, but dont try and barge into his house.

We had a political assasination "from the left" here, who was "inspired" by centrist politicians denouncing divisive racial language.

That is being used by extreme right groups until this day, and led to the rise of the PVV.

My point: idiots are "inspired" by anything ( and the rightwing loon was far beyond Tucker)

And violence doesnt lead to a positive outcome.

So murdering his wife puts you on equal grounds with him , then who's next .. what other political opponent / news host do you suggest needs to be dealt with?

I'm not suggesting anyone needs to be "dealt with". It would just be really, really great if literal, actual racists and their enablers didn't have a platform.

People have died because of rhetoric that Carlson pushes. He is complacent in the deaths of so many in the past few weeks, all from right-wing white terrorists, who are inspired by the words pushed by Fox News and their reporters, which come directly from the President and his administration. You do understand why this is a problem that needs to be stopped, right?

When was his wife murdered? Did anyone even step foot into his house? They banged on the front door, is this suddenly the equivalent of murder? What the fuck are some of you talking about?

There's a big difference between the power of governance and the power of violence.

The problem with vigilantism is that it's done without any legal authority, and thus by definition isn't something anyone can control. And if vigilantism is something we accept as part of cogent political discourse, we're just enabling vigilantes on the other side. The reaction to this protest could be real right-wing terrorism, and what's the vigilante reaction to that?

That kind of escalation will just spin us further towards the death of US democracy.

There's real appeal for this type of protest, especially since it seems like the entire country has lost core values. We all want to fix it now, no more bipartisanship, no more "both sides."

The only lasting way to deal with this current perversion of our country is to fix it from the top down. Destroy the Imperial Presidency. Clean the corruption. Seal the loopholes. Restore the checks and balances. Legislate white nationalism out of existence. A hard, long slog that needs to be started now.

Attempting to solve this in the streets will just ensure that the biggest thug will win.

You're suggesting they fly to New York to protest? Are you going to fund this? Because not all of them have Tucker Carlson money.
I'm scratching my head hard at this post,
do you think he jumps into a portal to long to warp into a long distance location to go home?

if he works in New York, his home must be within an hour radius

plus, Manhattan is more accessible via subway, bus, bike then whatever suburb he lives at

Agreed. Standing against those fanatics, deplatforming them, and calling them out does not equate to threats of violence. They do that. We should not.

Who was this sanctioned by? The House, the Deep State, or (((SOROS)))?

Also Tucker is political but not a political opponent. He's just a White Supremacist, but one of the most powerful in the world.

Reminder that someone sent literal bombs to the houses of people Trump attacked on twitter but apparently protesting a media personality is what truly comparable to Nazis.
