Tucker: Stalinism vs Democracy, a test

They’re telling you, again with a straight face, that you can’t have a democracy where everyone is allowed to participate in the conversation. No, in order to represent the public, the public must be forced to shut up.

Tucker proposes a test to help determine if you’re a Stalinist, and continues to look at why some people in both sides of our government are so upset about Elon Musk buying Twitter. Highlights include:

“Everyone today supports the fall of the Berlin Wall and the freedom fighters at Tiananmen Square, but back in 1989 it was a mixed bag. Actually, a lot of highly respected people thought the Berlin Wall should stay up. That would include Margaret Thatcher and the president of France and a lot of others. Now, that may sound shocking to you, but really it’s not so different from what we’re witnessing now.”

“Now, today we’re witnessing a lot of well-respected people who are arguing with a straight face that Twitter, one of our main avenues for solving political differences, should remain censored. They’re telling you, again with a straight face, that you can’t have a democracy where everyone is allowed to participate in the conversation. No, in order to represent the public, the public must be forced to shut up.”

“See, the thing about owning a social media company is you could ‘secretly ban one party’s candidate’, or even scarier than that, you could ‘secretly turn down the reach of their stuff or turn up the reach of something else’ and the rest of us might not find out about it until after the election. Yeah, that’s a terrifying prospect. Democracy could not withstand that, let’s hope it never happens.”

“Actually, if you let people choose, you never know what they’re gonna’ do. For example, CNN just spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars on a streaming service that in the end attracted 10,000 viewers. Right, ‘cuz people had a choice and that’s not what they chose. So, if you’re part of a company that made a decision like that, you’d be very much in favor of squelching the competition with censorship. Because, if you didn’t have monopoly, you would whither and die. People would start asking questions like, ‘Why is equity so important, again? Why do we care what tv personalities look like? Shouldn’t we care about what they do, what they believe, about their characters?’ “

“The big point, and we’re gonna’ restate it ‘cuz it’s the whole point, is this. Anyone who is angered by the prospect of American citizens expressing their opinions is a Stalinist and should be feared. We no longer need to guess who those people are, they have conveniently self-identified. It’s a clarifying moment, but it’s also a little scary, because at this point there’s no going back. Once the kidnapper shows you his face, he can’t release you.”

“God knows what happens next. The Biden administration has jumped with all four paws into this, signaling it’s going to use the weight of the federal government to crush Elon Musk because he wants you to speak freely.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
