Roger Waters Explains Julian Assange to Tucker Carlson
24 thoughts on “Roger Waters Explains Julian Assange to Tucker Carlson”
Actually the people complicit in war crimes should be the ones sweating it out, not Assange! The world doesn’t need Assange to know that war crimes are ALWAYS committed in a war. The most important thing should be the LEGALITY of the wars themselves! All those Congressmen and “leaders” in government who turn a blind eye to mass murder are ALL war criminals. That’s the reality here, not that soldiers in war display the most inhumane behavior when put in that position by their commanders! Arrest the leaders, not the ones doing their dirty work.
Roger Waters teaching my mom about press freedom on Fox News is officially one of the weirdest moments in television history. Tucker may be a dick, but you wouldn’t see this sh*t anywhere else.
Waters is just a bigot masquerading as a “social warrior”
What makes him a bigot? Supporting Palestine’s right to exist? I guess I’m a “bigot” too then.
No — lots of people support Palestinian rights without using bigotry and bigoted tropes.
In fact, lots of Zionists also support a Palestinian state — if it could be done peacefully. Lots of Zionists spent years trying to obtain a two-state peace; and it was Zionists who agreed to it outright as far back as 1948
Waters is a bigot because he employees bigotry and demonization — and he seeks ultimately the destruction of any refuge state for the Jewish minority.
Tropes? I love that. Bigotry without proof of bigotry. How convenient. Tell me one bigoted thing the motherf**ker has said? Just one?
the use of bigoted tropes is bigotry.
he’s displayed pigs with Jewish stars next to dollar signs
he speaks about Jews “controlling” others and once compared us to alien “body snatchers”
He claims that people who object to antisemitism are themselves antisemitic in doing so
he resorts to insane level demonization, such as trying to compare Israeli Jews to “nazis”
He speaks ill of Zionists, not Jews. There is a big difference. Many Jews despise Zionism. There is also nothing extreme about noting that Israel is a racial nationalist autocracy, not unlike Nazi Germany.
very few Jews “despise Zionism” because most all Jews understand Zionism as Jewish Liberation.
it’s only a tiny few of very privileged Jews who – like the German Jews of the 1920’s — don’t believe our collective self-defense is necessary. Even in the USA, the most privileged society on the planet with the most assimilated Jewish population — polls show 85% of the Jewish population are strong supporters of the Jewish State. when you move into other countries where Jews face more risks and have a better grasp of the dangers, the percentage of supporters is much higher.
As for Israel, there is zero “racial” about it’s make up. Israeli society consists of every race on the planet. That’s just another bigoted canard you are spreading. It was the Russians who invented the false “Zionism=Racism” charge back when the Russians were throwing Jews into the Gulags.
Israel is also not at all close to an “autocracy” — as every single Israel regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender has an equal vote — and the politicians have voices in the context of a hotly contested give and take in the Knesset.
Finally, your claim that this non-racial hotly contested democratic nation is “not unlike Nazi Germany” just exposes your personal bigotry.
That sort of demonization of a tiny minority is why we absolutely need the Jewish State.
But Tucker is not a dick. In fact, wasn’t it Roger Waters who was the dick in the band Pink Floyd? I always liked Gilmour’s leads.
I’ve always preferred Syd Barret personally. Tucker is great on a lot of issues, specifically foreign policy. But he’s absolutely obnoxious in his treatment of immigrants and trans people like myself.
Piper at the Gates of Dawn is my go-to album when I’m wanting to hear from Floyd. If I’m not mistaken, that’s the only album Syd was completely involved in.
Carlson used to occasionally talk like a libertarian. Then he smelled money in the paleo/Trump cesspool and dived in head first. Hasn’t been worth a plug nickel since.
Debatable. I’m down with paleos, I just wish they’d realize that they’re as weird and subversive as the hippies, yippies and queers they frequently bash and lighten up a tiff.
I like Barret’s solo sh*t, after he went crackers. Floyd never really did it for me.
He talked Trump out of starting WW3 after Iran downed that drone. Gotta give him props for that.
“But he’s absolutely obnoxious in his treatment of immigrants and trans people like myself.”
That pretty much goes with the Fox News territory, or at least did many years ago when I would occasionally tune in. It’s been so long since I’ve actually watched a cable news show, that I really don’t even know who the stars are.
Probably a good thing. Cable news is highly toxic.
Just a comment on the comment you made up above to Luch about the Amish: You are absolutely correct about anarchism not being left or right. In the modern day statist context, left wingers are those who wish to use state violence to coerce the people into adopting left wing values, while right wingers are those who wish to use state violence to coerce the people into adopting right wing values. Without the coercive violence of the state present, such concepts have no meaning.

Throw them to the mob.
