Tucker Carlson is just asking questions - The Spectator World

Tucker Carlson is just asking questions. Questions like: what if Andrew Tate’s camgirl harem is actually the height of masculinity? And: isn’t the Russian grocery equivalent of Aldi absolutely incredible, just as the Moscow train station is perhaps the most beautiful thing mankind has created? And this week: why don’t we fully appreciate the total bind Adolf Hitler was in when he had just so many prisoners of war thanks to German success on the battlefield?

The decisions Carlson has made in the past several months have struck his former friends and ideological allies as veering in the space between the eccentric and the outrageous. But his most recent foray into the undiscovered country of whackadoo revisionism has broken off even some of his last cadre of conservative defenders, who maintained despite all the signals that this man, once the most influential media figure on the right, was still a good, brave, stable Christian conservative with the best interests of America at heart.

I had the chance to appear on Tucker's show just a few years ago when we had what you may recall as the cockswaddle kerfuffle. I agreed with many of Tucker's views but not others. But my lawyer was against the idea. Not insistent, but definitely against it. So I decided in the end not to do it, even though it would surely have helped put this struggling blog (but one that refuses to just die!) on the map. Now Tucker seems to have completely slipped his reins and flown off into cloud cuckoo land. In all fairness, Tucker should have sorted out his feelings about WW2 in his twenties and not be discovering them just now. If he ended up on Hitler's side, well, ok, but then he has to realize he's one of the baddies. It's just embarrassing to go all through this now.

In other news, Tucker is convinced that UFOs are demons, and he might have a point. At least with respect to some of them anyway.

"when he had just so many prisoners of war": that had never occurred to me but there could have been natural solutions e.g. "if you kill lots of Russians for us we'll let you take their wives and go to live in Crimea. Lovely climate, Crimea."

Or, if they were Russians, "if you kill lots of Bolsheviks for us ...."
