No Tucker Carlson speaking out against war means he's on the right side

[SFreije]

I appreciate the NYT working so hard to discredit themselves.

[mboiko]

In 2022 the term "racist" for the most part...just means you disagree with someone.

[dashriprock]

We haven't agreed on what's racist at all Ryan. And since Obama, the goalposts have moved ever so broadly.

[Kehvan]

*Racism:* _Judging a person based solely on the color of their skin or ethnic background._

That's the only definition of racism I'll accept.

[-Thunder]

"Our accepted view of what's racist". The honest definition of racism never included anything I've ever heard Tucker say. You might want to revisit Barbara Jordan's conclusions on open borders.

[joeyvasko]

Lol Ryan, it might be “your accepted analysis of what racism is” but it is most definitely not “our accepted analysis”

[highplainsgrifter]

What racist thing has tucker said or done? Wore blackface and warned about racial jungles?

[ppolecatpremiumpodcastspr]

I find Ryan’s take on racism confusing, in part because he seems to be searching for a way to justify labeling someone with views (opinions) contrary to his own as racist without a convenient (legit/honest) definition to support his stance.

The minute I hear the word racist I turn the video off

[JB-lovin]

Ryan says “we” have a collective idea of what constitutes racism. We do not. And there is radically lower level of agreement today on the nature of racism with the spread of “systemic racism” as (nebulous) concept and its substantial influence in redefining the word. (Witness the common assertion that “black people can’t be racist”, in reference to individual behaviors, speech and disposition: “bigoted, not racist” we hear.) This question of what is and isn’t racism is a core question here. This isn’t a settled one, but a crucial open question under discussion. C’mon man.

What’s wrong with being an American Nationalist?

[scottmcloughlin]

Nationalism is reciprocating and good. "Nationalists" support Nigerian, Hungarian and Mexican nationalism right alongside American nationalism. The word for militarism is "militarism." Don't confuse the two. In a colonial settler state like the USA, nationalists are not racists.

Tucker is the only one worth watching on boomer cable news.

[AZ_-kz]

Tucker Carlson is the number 1 person on the main stream media that speaks, tells the truth 100%.

[medhue]

I do love how the actual racist thing done is never talked about. Makes it difficult to take any thing Ryan says, or the left says, seriously. At NO POINT, in this video was there ever any example of a racist thing said or thought by Tucker. How do you think you win arguments like this, Ryan? Just say some vague things and say that everyone agrees. I'm not white, and I don't agree with you Ryan, and I bet alot of other minorities don't agree with what some white guy thinks everyone thinks.

[optimal]

Tucker is literally the only anti war voice in legacy media and we desperately need him right now.

[kf]

More dems watch Tucker than any other network

[jasone]

just at the opening statement of this video I totally freaking disagree! it's not about Tucker not liking in York Times and that's what makes him popular it is his opinion and what he believes that makes him popular.

[taberzak]

I would like you all to know that I find it hilarious when news organizations can’t spell. It’s “unfazed”. By the way, I haven’t even been to college.
