Say what you will about Tucker Carlson, but when push comes to shove, he is not going to lose any fans. Carlson's ratings are amongst the best in TV, and no I am not just talking about highest rated news shows. Tucker Carlson is one of the biggest celebrities in the alt right today; you may not think of celebrity when you see Tucker in his little bow ties shouting whatever ethnic trait is bothering him at a particular moment. If you happened across his show on the internet, and had never seen him before, you would probably think he was just some nut with a youtube channel. Believe it or not, the Tuck's verbal beat downs of everyone from celebrities to health care professionals are quite popular on social media. It may be tempting to say that everyone is watching this slop for the sake of entertainment. However, it is a kind of dismissive politics that excuses itself from all responsibility and leads to crises. In order to prevent such crises from occurring, it is the job of the observer to expose the machinations of such regressive political behavior; it ultimately leads to authoritarianism. It is important to understand the mindset of an authoritarian system, how it becomes interlinked with a kind of fatalism, perhaps for control, but always in the name of purity. The American obsession with spiritual cleanliness is already theocratic on a subconscious level. Obviously we cannot directly observe this unless we study America's history. If you want a deeper understanding of America's deep relationship with fatalism all you have to do is go online. There is almost no one left in the world who thinks the world will continue to prosper. The world is ending. It's been decided and there is no room for discussion. That is it. That has been it since America's founding. This has always been for a short time. Nothing ever lasts and we are all doomed. So, you know, buy a bunch of food and then throw it away and buy more. It's the only way you can save us from utter destruction. Oh, and hand sanitizer, and toilet paper and goofy looking face shields. We all need this things or we will die. And less and less people need medicine and more and more they need fake medicines they find online. And on and on it goes. Tucker Carlson is, of course, fatalism in the form of a news anchor, or comedian depending on what you consider news. Who knows? It is probably the same thing now. As I discussed before in a brief bit I did on image politics, it becomes more difficult to draw the line between show biz and politics when they are combined. Everything in show business needs a villain, and you never do know what the villain will do; their unpredictability is what makes them so alluring. You do not applaud the villain because he does evil deeds; you applaud the villain because he is so powerful with his trade, as you are slipping into the abyss the villain's buffoonery soothes your woes, making you think that maybe even you have a chance if you follow the villain's code. Tucker Carlson has a staggeringly large base of fans; he has propelled himself to a celebrity amongst people who despise celebrities. It is a difficult trade, but Tucker has mastered it. It will be interesting to see if anyone will eventually see the hypocrisy of "the Tuck's" silver spooned tongue, or if anyone will care. Now Tucker is challenging a major figure in the republican party over his dealings with "woke" big tech companies. His problem is not that these companies are monopolies; Tucker is quite the fan of monopolies after all, having defended endless amounts of them in the past. So what is Tucker's problem? Why, politics of course. And that's the endgame, to eliminate competition, to take over big tech and turn more conservative than it already is. Why? Because then you finally own the media and you can rule with an iron fist. They will not need to worry about shooting reporters with rubber bullets then. Once you own the media, you own the political dialogue.
