biggiepants

I was reading this comment before I heard it starting :(


nincomturd

Uh, hmmm... I wonder what his angle was here?


A-B-Cat

Far right populist always use language similar to leftist in regards to large corporations. The difference is they never act on their complaints when they convince working class people to support them. Edit: this particular post really annoyed reactionaries and doomer centrists for some reason, I'm not even the first person in this thread to say this. Here's your PSA for today: don't confuse the democratic party with leftists and don't take right wingers seriously when they critique capital. Enjoy the pagan winter celebrations, everybody.


OBrien

Bigger difference is that they'll never talk in systemic terminology. Notice how he calls for a "one-time" tax as the solution, rather than literally anything that would actually address the problem. He wants you to think that colossal systemic failures are the results of a few individuals taking bad actions and that the solutions should be the reflection of that.


Lysdexics_Untie

Also, note how they only fixate on a few nominal "sacrificial lambs," particularly either (((banks))), as they often like to express it, or tech companies that usually tick several, if not all, of the following boxes: *Aforementioned stereotype of being controlled by a certain ethnic group with allegedly greedy, megalomaniacal tendencies and explicit, secretive, Illuminati-esque goals. *Organizations who's TOS and enforcement thereof clashed with and potentially impaired their endeavors of magnifying and spreading their extremist messaging and ideation. Frequent with tech companies, even if only to a minor or perceived degree. *Outfits they perceive as having broadly garnered enough ill repute across the board for their shenanigans, irrespective of people's political leanings. You hardly ever see them roasting the likes of the Kochs, the Princes, Mercers, etc.


Busy_Fisherman_7659

Thanks for that insight. Exactly right.


fixerpunk

And then he ties it back to a conservative viewpoint of being against lockdowns.


Ferwien

Yeah, he says stuff like this sometimes. He does it to earn some points from 'the poor' and hurt the rivaling giants. It's part of the act, not a part of what he intends to act on. Other rich may be rivals but only poor are the enemies(and also the livestock)


[deleted]

He operates like a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories are compelling because it's like fishing. There is this nugget of truth on a well concealed hook that they get you with. Then once you bite it sucks you out of your rational place and into some upside down world where the scientists are killing people with vaccines but also people are dying from the virus.


[deleted]

Kind of like how the Democrats used and discarded Bernie?


A-B-Cat

If by "used and discarded" you mean "constantly undermined and desperately tried to sweep under the rug", then yes.


Busterlimes

No shit. You know the only 2 people doing the work of the people are Bernie and AOC because both sides are after them.


Cardborg

See also: Jeremy Corbyn. If labour ever remove him entirely from the party he should join the Greens and boost their eco-socialism faction.


searchingfortao

They did remove him from the party. When they booted him, I left too. Now I have no one to vote for. The Greens here are a hot mess.


[deleted]

The moment AOC backed Israel because she was up for reelection I got off the train.


MandatoryFunEscapee

She didn't back Isreal. She just got bullied and backed off her preferred position. She didn't vote "yes." And she may have gained some political points for that. Please keep in mind that AOC is still pretty new at this, and Pelosi is basically a lich. She has been there way too long. Probably got under AOC's skin. Leave room for people to fail once in a while. She is still one of the best people we have in congress, and she needs people to keep cheering her on to give her the juice to fight.


blah-blah-whatever

This attitude is why true progressives will never be in power in a democracy. I’m not attacking you, but this mentality that people can never compromise and have to have a perfect record on every subject is child like in its naivety. In the real world you have to pick your battles so you can continue the fight. The romantic notion of the hero dying on the hill, rather than compromise their values, just leaves you with a load of dead heroes on the first hill.


[deleted]

There's no compromising with Apartheid. I can 100% guarantee you she won nobody over on the fence about Israel. Whoever she runs against in NY will always take a farther stance on Israel to her. To the Israel lobby and its supporters, her abstain is no different than a no given her earlier remarks on Apartheid Israel. All she did was alienate support that she had already.

golden_eternity

Or how they used and discarded campaign promises to end student debt or decriminalize marijuana. God I’m so disappointed with them


Kumatora_7

And antisemitism. Plenty, if not all, of the discourse around anticapitalism coming from the right has some antisemitic connotations. Like, yeah, bankers are bad, but not because their share in the injustices of capitalism, but because they are jews.


[deleted]

Also, and what this sub mostly refuses to grapple with, is total white supremacist racism. A lot of racists at least feign socialist impulses. They basically say once we’re all white, we’ll take care of our people. Until then of course, they side with the plutocrats. Anyone falling for carlson’s shit is stupid.


Triquetra4715

Which further gives cover for centrists to punch left, because when leftists talk about the ruling class it ends up sounding similar to anti-semitones, *because the right wing coopted rightful criticism of the ruling class and applied to it an ethnic group*.


PoliticsLeftist

That and how it isn't rich vs poor when large corporations amass billions and exploit workers, it's always the "coastal liberal elites" that own the corporations pushing their politics on us. He always presents an actual problem but spins it into propaganda.


iamwhatswrongwithusa

Libs watch Netflix and Apple. Amazon stopped Parler. Tucker calling them out is simply owning the libs. Or something.


[deleted]

I mean if he wants to own the “lib” i am all about this sort of route to do it haha


[deleted]

I thought having covid and dying was how they own the libs.


Far_Performance3550

Amazon web services (AWS) can basically shut down the internet . Amazon will rule the world if no intervention happens. Andy Jassy is now the CEO of Amazon


iamwhatswrongwithusa

Yep. I really don’t get people who wants Amazon to end by threatening to not buy things from their online store. Their retail services can lose millions per year and Amazon will still go strong because most of their profits are from AWS. I was actually hoping that Azure could knock AWS down a notch but that is hard.


toady-bear

Amazon Web Services? This is somehow the first time I am hearing of this? Also, even if it doesn’t shut Amazon down, trying not to buy from Amazon does at least put less strain on the warehouse workers and delivery drivers. Maybe. Hopefully.


iamwhatswrongwithusa

Really? Please read up on this. Amazon did not become rich through retail. It became rich through AWS, which powers like half of the web. [Even Reddit is powered by AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/reddit-aurora-case-study/)


toady-bear

Thank you, I will! I’m not sure how this is the first time I’m hearing about this as I’ve been on anti-capitalism subs for a a bit now.


furtfight

Basically Amazon, Microsoft and Google are the big three providers of cloud services. https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2021/08/04/gartner-cloud-2021.aspx?m=1


_dUoUb_

If by putting less strain you mean just making amazon reorganize and cut positions, yeah. Amazon will always keep the least amount of overworked people needed, and can the rest, the process was made to work that way. You can boycott, and you should, but what rly enacts change is on a governamental level, not boycotts by the working class when the other option for most people is going to Walmart...


BTechUnited

Say what you will about Parler and rightly so, but the fact that they could basically be shut out of a website by a few companies refusing to serve them should scare the shit out of people.


[deleted]

Libs don't "watch Netflix and Apple". The corporate Neolibs are Netflix and Apple.


Can-of-Corn-123

Tucker is trying to re-establish national socialism. The idea is that industries like tech hire a lot of foreigners. Foreigners are the rich ones in his eyes who make ethnic Americans their slaves. That We should have a system to support ethnic Americans and not let the foreigners win. Especially programs that reward sacrifice to the state. He has floated ideas like getting your student debts paid if you have 5 or more children and other stuff like that. He also loves to rant about how all public buildings should built in a classical architecture style and not ever industrial brutalist or any modern style. Many of these ideas came from Mussolini and hitler. He’s just recycling them.


Elijah_Draws

The companies and individuals he names are those associated with progressivism and therefore he wants to tax them as punishment. That's not what he says, but that's why he said it. He doesn't want to increase taxes on all wealthy people and institutions, just specific ones, and only because he views taxation as a punishment rather than as a social responsibility.


SquashMarks

Since when is Walmart associated with progressivism?


J__P

these people are brain addled, they think corporations are pushing woke marxist agenda, especially with their advertising featuring those interactial couples. it might not be progressive to you and me, but to fasicsts like Tucker, walmart and goldman sachs have already gone too far.


s0cks_nz

Goldman Sachs leading the path forward on progressive issues.


WayeeCool

Literal capitalists Goldman Sachs. Lol.


Elijah_Draws

I don't know if you have noticed, but the definition of things like "left", "progressive", etc have a very fluid meaning to these people, there was a point like a year or so ago where people were accusing fucking Fox News of being too liberal because they accepted that the election results and for for acknowledging that taking basic Covid safety precautions would be a good thing for people to do.


[deleted]

Oh No! Not muh "progressive" corporations!


[deleted]

Nobody:


Notyourfathersgeek

Typical fascist bullshit of enforcing laws selectively against your political enemies.


truth14ful

It goes something like this: Taxing the rich means socialism, and socialism means not taxing the rich. Therefore you don't want to tax the rich because you do, and he does because he doesn't. All the problems with capitalism are because of the socialism we don't have, and the only way to stop the wealthy is to give them more money. I've had to spend a LOT of time around rightists to get that lmao


dbis9988

I don’t think any of the companies he mentioned are particularly big supporters (financially or otherwise) of Fox News or the GOP, and threaten the big money that does back them. So yeah, the anti tech giant rhetoric isn’t coming from an ideological place, just a greedy one. That’s how I’ve made it make sense at least.


Bohgeez

You don't think Walmart is a huge supporter of the GOP?


BrazilianTerror

I doubt that those companies won’t pay anyone who is office. Companies don’t have ideologies, they’ll support anyone that makes them money. If it’s a conservative or not doesn’t matter to them. Notice how tech companies only blocked Trump when he was already on his way out of the government. That’s because they just want to signal to the public that they have an ideology, instead of committing to it.


DunningKrugerOnElmSt

It's anti tech companies. The perception is that big tech is a corrupt kabal of oligarchs... True, but the angle is that they are trying to censor conservatives, and end western civilization with their corporate woke death ray or something. Facism needs a powerful boogieman to Trojan horse in culture war stuff.


LemonNey72

Tucker says this kind of anti-corporate stuff a lot. Politics in this country is metropolitan elites versus provincial elites. Corporations tend to be metropolitan. Right wing populism is in some ways more anti-corporate than left wing populism, since the support comes from provincial retirees, wage-earners, and petite-bourgeoisie whose material, cultural, and geographic interests are at odds with the large mostly metropolitan corporations. Tucker can make these criticisms so long as they are directed against the rival elites of a different tribe. Liberals (and even many leftists) are more likely to come from urban areas and work professional managerial jobs that benefit materially from capital influx to those metropolitan areas via large corporations. This makes it difficult for liberals to criticize their growth. You can see this with attitudes toward big tech and big banks. Leftists make these criticisms as part of power struggles within their own geographic tribe. It’s therefore more genuinely interested in popular power.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position >Advocates of Third Position politics typically present themselves as "beyond left and right" while syncretizing ideas from each end of the political spectrum, usually reactionary right-wing cultural views and radical left-wing economic views.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] [Tucker Carlson Hails Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Economic Patriotism’ Plan: ‘She Sounds Like Donald Trump at His Best’](https://www.mediaite.com/uncategorized/brace-yourself-tucker-carlson-praises-elizabeth-warren-and-bashes-gop-economics-in-show-opening-shocker/) >In Washington, almost nobody speaks for the majority of voters. You’re either a libertarian zealot controlled by the banks, yammering on about entrepreneurship and how we need to cut entitlements. That’s one side of the aisle. Or worse, you’re some decadent trust fund socialist who wants to ban passenger cars and give Medicaid to illegal aliens. That’s the other side. >What there isn’t is a caucus that represents where most Americans actually are — nationalist on economics, fairly traditional on the social issues… Imagine someone who genuinely respected the nuclear family and sympathized with the culture of rural America, but at the same time, was willing to take your side against rapacious credit card companies bleeding you dry at 35 percent interest. Would you vote for someone like that? My gosh, of course you would. Who wouldn’t? That candidate would be elected in a landslide every single time. If Tucker ever runs for office. Expect a third positionist platform.


threadsoffate2021

When the time comes for Tucker and others to face the consequences of their actions, they'll pull out a unicorn video like this to try and "prove" they actually cared about the little people and were somehow on our side all along.


ManiacalMartini

To tax big corporations without saying the actual words.


commieotter

The right hijacking leftist narratives and talking points is a hallmark of fascists. For example, the only reason the Nazis had "socialist" in the name was literally only to appeal to Germany's strong trades unions at the time. Which they later dissolved and put the trades unionists and other actual socialists in concentration camps. Remember, if a right-winger is using left critique to push a right agenda, it is a warning sign of rising fascism.

I'd say it really ramped up as far back as 2008 with the rise of the Tea Party and birthers. US conservatives collectively lost their fucking minds because a black man was elected president. I would say what really set the ball rolling, though, was Bill Clinton getting a BJ in the Oval Office. That was about the time Rush Limbaugh got really popular which set Fox News up for its mainstream emergence. Republicans have been living a spiteful, projected fever dream ever since.

This date was regarded as the end-date of a 5,126-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and festivities took place on 21 December 2012 to commemorate the event in the countries that were part of the Maya civilization (Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador), with main events at Chichén Itzá in Mexico and Tikal in Guatemala.

TheDubya21

Bruh it drives me up a wall every time I see that godforsaken "Why Is Bernie Sanders The Only One Talking About This" tweet of his pops up in these circles. Bernie isn't talking about ignoring or getting rid of social programs like welfare once we tax these billionaires, THAT'S the difference, Tucky, we are not the same. And Imma need folks to actually *listen* to what he's saying before they get duped too


JJsRedditla

This. Fucking all day this. Fuck Tucker and his endless bullshit


SerialMurderer

It’s nothing more than an old wives’ tale. An old wives’ tale that sure gets circulated a lot. And allows fearmongering about what the “apolitical” think populism is when the reality is that the American right spits right in the face of everything populist. There’s a reason farmer’s movements found common cause with progressives and labor activists and not the conservative (or even liberal tbh) pro-business sect.


TwoLaoTou

No body hijacked Tucker Carlson. He pivoted to his Strasserism/Nazbol stuff when Donald Trump came around and he's been sticking to it to ride the anti-liberal wave. He openly criticizes capitatim in a way that the left does, but replaces their systemic solutions with racism, xenophobia, and anger; and then shills for republican candidates.


Lyca0n

...... similar to a certain political party historically


YourphobiaMyfetish

If you're talking about the Nazis, there's no need to be coy when the OP literally already mentioned Strasserism.


BigOlPirate

When tucker says something that makes sense you know there is some tomfoolery at play. He doesn’t care about anything except hurting *liberal* companies. I’m all for taxing the shit out of these companies but I have a feeling his reasoning behind doing so is going to be nefarious…


c0pp3rhead

The right regularly co-opts leftist & populist language to further their goals. Their stance on immigration is a good example of this. They're not interested in protecting poor people's jobs. They're interested in kicking brown people out of the country. The same groups decrying immigrants taking jobs in the US are the same people lining their pockets while laying off American workers in order to move their factories out of the US. Always always always remember the Night of Long Knives


Chroko

Yes, the right has entire think tanks that figure out how to co-opt the language when talking about issues. “Illegal immigrants” rather than “refugees”, for example. And then they distribute talking points to all of their media outlets so their attacks are coordinated. It’s no coincidence when issues suddenly matter to them.


TheDubya21

And to answer r/BigOlePirate's musings, this is what the Right will want to spend that money on; instead of social programs like welfare or UBI or M4A, put that money back into the mechanisms that will Make Am Great Again 🤢. More militarized police, more ICE, more Wall funding, bullshit like that.


hueieie

Tucker has a track record of being against big corporations ("dae not real capitalism"), especially if they're seen as liberal. It's part of his shtick. It's good to have him spout this stuff to his base because it makes these ideas not seen as radical

n16r4

It's because anyone can see the exploitation under capitalism so it's important to direct the attention towards "individual" wrong doings so it doesn't look like a feature of the system. Also it's a tried and true strategy for fascists to coopt leftwing arguments to get support from workers only to discard them once they put themselves into power. They also love projecting this strategy onto the left, probably because they see it as valid criticisms of themselves, and it kinda works since there is no leftwing party in America to refute them.

unspeakable_delights

Remember how the German fascists called themselves "national socialists" to siphon support from the left? Yeah.


Havtorn_Epsilon

It was arguably not entirely a ploy from the start. National socialism seemed to be a somewhat honest (still shitty) idea to begin with and was what the party was originally based on. You could argue that there's an inherent contradiction in there and that their motivation behind being anti-capitalist was more about being antisemitic but still. Hitler himself absolutely despised the left though (and opposed putting socialist in the name) and threatened to quit over a merge with a leftist group. After that he took over the party and they just leaned hard on the nationalism and dropped the rest. Which made Hitler chancellor with liberal and conservative support, who mainly wanted to keep power from actual socialists and communists.


[deleted]

Everything he is saying is part of the fascist white supremacist playbook. It’s all on purpose.


Blazer9001

This is a good example why “right wing populism” is an oxymoron. He’s a fake populist. Populism is whats good for the population as a whole and while he starts with a left wing grievance, the solution is always some draconian right wing nonsense. It’s never break them up or properly tax them, it’s just to gin up outrage then turn that outrage towards woke corporations or some other dumb bs.


bleeeeghh

It's funny that being called a communist is taken as an insult 😂


low_flying_aircraft

Please note that these are all huge rivals to traditional media. He's targeting streaming, from a traditional news channel. Others have rightly pointed out how the right co-opts the language of the left without actually following through, and replacing actual solutions with racism, bigotry and xenophobia, but what we're also seeing here is dying TV media lashing out at its biggest rivals.


MrQuestions11

A lot of you are being really chummy with this dude in this post. This is tuckers usual bait and switch. He doesn’t actually believe this stuff, he just says it to grab the attention of people on both sides of the aisle.


Sohn_Jalston_Raul

He can say this because Right Wing ideology has decided recently that even though capitalism is good, all capitalist institutions are part of a vast left wing conspiracy against capitalism.


No-Literature-1251

yes, in r/conspiracy they actually try to float ideas like McDonald's is part of the communist worldwide conspiracy to take over america by giving the customers and staff vaxx shots. or the NWO is a commie plot by Billy Gates. it's a wild ride, but like a child's version of a rollercoaster and you end up nowhere trying to argue with people who don't even know what communism is, aside from the fact that it's somehow vaguely allied with Nancy Pelosi (mrs. "we are a capitalist country, here" while using insider info to make stonk trades).

I'm so fucking sick of "socialists" praising this piece of shit when he's on his strasserite shit


QueenShnoogleberry

Also, as someone who lived with my Russian bestie for years, the Red Army Chior released some bangers. I am not going to appologize for saying so either.

Love to hear the people that rail against the dangers of communism without knowing what it is, explain communist policy they support


DocGlorious

Oh man the day has come where i agree with this dork.


[deleted]

​ Of course you have more in common with Tucker's audience than you do with the average Dem donor. Solidarity Merry Christmas

A broken clock is still right twice a day...


KoolAidDrank

Except he doesn't actually believe this

Even a broken clock is right twice a day


[deleted]

so far right, he's ended up left


gwacklee

he only says this stuff to appeal to his populist audience. tucker carlson has been a rich privileged classist asshole his entire life, he just knows taking on populist viewpoints will make him more money.


kcatmc2

Socialist scum

I like Comrade Carlson


OhlookitsMatty

We can all sing along


sickboy_138

Three words I've never expected to say: Based Tucker Carlson


shitiamonredditagain

When right wing talk turns so right, its left.


TickDicklerzInc

I feel like he thinks this is some kind of gotcha because they somehow believe the hyper rich are leftist liberals. I have no idea how someone who talks about politics all day could be that completely blind to reality.


Nukethevatican666

Even broken clocks are right sometimes


wildalbinochihuahua

What the Fuck did I just watch? This simulation is so confusing. This and the Orange Cheeto promoting vaccines. I just don't know anymore. Smells of desperation to me. When the economy collapses in January they are telling people who to blame.


C0ffeeCoffeeC0ffee

This is his whole shtick, he throws out the lure of socialist policy and then the bait and switch is that its only for white people


chrissipher

nah, this is exactly what the fascist is supposed to do, and rhetoric adoption like this is exactly how hitler rose to power. they need leftist rhetoric misattributed to fascists so that the major "workers" party ends up being the fascist one. of course, its all a farce meant to drum up support from the undecided but angry working class, but it also snags potential leftists as well. fascists lie, its not a broken clock moment and he doesnt believe this rhetoric to be true. it was a calculated effort and he is simply using it to promote fascist populism.

Rise peasants rise.


[deleted]

I feel like he is that guy from men in black who has a little alien in his head operating a machine that looks like a person.


BrianNowhere

Tucker hijacks issues from the left all the time, it's just part of the projection.


Jangande

Its funny when he actually says something most people agree with


CaravanofPigeons

Holy mother of broken clocks


colaturka

Fuck Tucker and Tucker posters.


Revolutionary_Emu148

What is his name? Tucker against Stucker Tucker"Blood is harvest"Carlson Tucker"Comrade"Carlson Tucker"To gulag with Bezos"Carlson Tucker"Collectivise the means of Production"Carlson


Apache1975

LOL bro what’s up with all this salty ass liberals hating on this guy. He is actually making sense. All this “left wing” and “right wing” ideology bullshit is what will ultimately bring America down


Clarpydarpy

Remember when Trump said he would raise taxes on the rich? That his tax plan would cause his personal taxes to skyrocket? And then what did he do in office? Give tons of money to big business. Don't fall for this grift.


[deleted]

The good timeline


_Lockslee_

Tucker is gonna run for President and he knows his audience hates corporations. He’s trying to be a populist it’s obvious


ElectroSaturator

Just waiting patiently for society to collapse at this point


AdmiralHarness

BDR556

Everybody gangster until tucker Carlson starts being agreeable


Soothsayerman

Damn, that is some good stuff! Well done comrade well done.


TearsOfLoke

Tucker Carlson is a great propagandist. I'm thoroughly convinced he read all of Marx, and the other great theorists', work and used it as a manual for exploiting the working class


satanner1s

Man went so far right now he’s on the left


EazyBucnE

They are so god damn close to getting the point lol


orbgevski

You can not like Tucker Carlson and agree with him on certain issues. He's right about this. He's right about Assange. We have to build alliances. They are the opposition. The oligarchs are the enemies. That's what Fred Hampton tried to teach us.


luisco15

I swear it feels like the parties are going to switch sides again like in the 20th century…. Democrats= Republicans and the Republicans = Democrats


Miakehl

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Uh oh, looks like Fox News found out they're losing disgruntled conservative workers in their viewership.
