I actually found that interview really interesting, or at the very least entertaining.
First of all, Tucker Carlson pretty much forced Nick Fuentes to agree that racism is not compatible with Christianity. They also talked a lot about Gaza, with Nick Fuentes mentioning that he thought it was hilarious that the neo-conservative right doesn't realize that he opposes Israel for the exact same reason that the left does, i.e. not because of anti-Semitism but because he genuinely thinks that genocide is abhorrent. He then shifted gear and said he was a huge fan of Joseph Stalin.
I really don't think that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens care at all about sponsorships or donor money at this point. They're doubling down on criticizing military action on Venezuela and Iran, they're insinuating that Charlie Kirk was murdered by Zionists for his views on Israel and demand that funding for Israel is withdrawn, and they are openly criticizing Trump. They're probably going to win this civil war for the mantle of MAGA and will likely be vindicated in the end.
Yeah the Nazi who's famously done Holocaust revisionism is actually not anti-Semitic and opposes israel on the basis of human rights instead of cynically using it as a talking point to garner support..
Both are fascist and antisemitic.
As I mentioned, this dude said he admires Joseph Stalin. I don't think it's wise to to absorb or internalize what he says. But there's a split in MAGA and I think it's easy to see why Tucker's faction is going to command the grassroots.
Yeah, and the Nazi's said they were socialist. That doesn't carry any weight when you look at what they actually stand for.
You're right that there is a split, but both sides are still antisemitic. It's between anti-Semites that support Israel and those that don't.
I don't think socialists like Joseph Stalin. I'm saying that it's a really unhinged thing to say.
