 All throughout the pandemic Tucker Carlson has used his massive platform to spread lies and misinformation about COVID-19 I mean, he's been wishy-washy on masks He cited skewed data from quack doctors that supposedly confirmed that the seriousness of the virus and contagiousness of the virus has been Vastly overstated by mainstream media, but even though he's been proven wrong time and again He keeps getting worse and his latest thing is to push this idea that the COVID vaccines Maybe they're not that good of an idea. Maybe it's just a form of control By our authoritarian government that just really wants you to obey them But just when I thought he couldn't get any worse. He managed to somehow surprise me this is by far the worst thing he's ever said as it relates to COVID-19 and After watching this, I'm ready to conclude that this is by far the most dangerous Propagandist in modern history. It's not like he's saying this on a YouTube channel He's not saying this on some fringe far-right channel like Newsmax or OAN He's saying this what we're about to see on the largest news network on the most popular television show in America Not even Tony Fauci still pretends that masks are medically necessary Instead masks are purely a sign of political obedience like Kim Il-sung pens in Pyongyang We wear them because we have to the only people who wear masks voluntarily outside are zealots and neurotics How neurotic are they? Well, we know a Pew survey from last March found that 64% of white Americans who classify themselves as liberal or very liberal Have been diagnosed with an actual mental health condition And you see them everywhere when you walk down the street in any major city If you dare to go on foot from Union Station to the Capitol for example in Washington without wearing a mask Angry Biden voters will snort at you in judgment. How could you they're saying from behind the gauze? How could you that's the question we should be asking of them in return? The rest of us should be snorting at them first. They're the aggressors It's our job to brush them back and restore the society. We were born in So the next time you see someone in a mask on the sidewalk or on the bike path Do not hesitate ask politely but firmly. Would you please take off your mask? Science shows there is no reason for you to be wearing it. Your mask is making me uncomfortable We should do that and we should keep doing it until wearing a mask outside is roughly as socially accepted as lighting a marble on an elevator It's repulsive. Don't do it around other people. That's the message we should send because it's true As we're forcing children to wear masks outside, that should be illegal Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Walmart Call the police immediately contact child protective services. Keep calling until someone arrives What you're looking at is abuse. It's child abuse and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it If it's your own children being abused then act accordingly Let's say your kids school emailed you to announce that every day after lunch your sixth grader was gonna get punched in the face by a teacher How would you respond to that? That's precisely how you should respond when they tell you that your kids have to wear masks on the soccer field That is unacceptable. It is dangerous and we should act like it because it is that was extremely dangerous and divisive He is Intentionally trying to sow discord. He's trying to get his idiot viewers to actually confront people who are responsibly Wearing masks doing the one easiest thing that we as individuals can do to slow the spread of the virus What is he thinking? He just he wants to watch the world burn from his mansion. I don't know how else To interpret what he's what he's saying or what he wants. This is irrational. It's insane He says masks are purely a sign of ideological obedience So there's no other utility in wearing masks. It doesn't actually slow the spread of the virus You know all of the studies all of the empirical evidence that we have It's all nonsense really what you're doing if you wear a mask is your is your virtue signaling to all of your peers and public that You obey you want everyone to know that you're a little sheep and you'll do whatever daddy government wants you to do It's just so twisted and deranged and I love the little jab there at the intelligence of Liberals and very liberal people ie leftists He says a Pew survey from last March found that 64 percent of white Americans who classify themselves as liberal or very liberal Have been diagnosed with an actual mental health condition first of all correlation doesn't equal causation But really what he wants you to believe is this meme that liberalism or progressivism is a mental disorder But if you truly want to Suggest that a particular ideology is linked to somebody's cognitive abilities I don't actually think you want to play this game Tucker Carlson because a 2012 study from the Journal of Psychological Science finds that people with lower IQs are more likely to be racist and Conservative also what 2020 article published in the Journal of Political Psychology found that conservatives actually value stories Ie emotions when evaluating scientific evidence in other words feelings over facts That's how conservatives determine whether or not they believe scientific data So I don't think you want to play that game Tucker Carlson And I think that that study from 2020 is relevant here because as we can see Tucker Carlson is very emotionally distraught at the idea That folks would wear masks to try to stop the spread of this highly contagious deadly disease He says the rest of us should be scoffing and snorting at the people who are wearing masks because there's this assumption that people Who are wearing masks are looking at the folks who aren't wearing masks and we're just judging them First of all, I think that most people out in public are just minding their own business trying to go about their day Second of all, if I see someone in public without a mask, I don't scoff or make any comment I just think that's an idiot. That's an asshole. That's probably a Republican who doesn't believe that COVID-19 is real But he says actually they're the aggressors the people who are wearing masks in his twisted mind There's somehow aggressors and it's our job to Brush them back and restore society that we were born in so the people who are wearing masks. They're the ones who are actually Propagating this dystopian society that we're living in they're the ones who are making matters worse for everyone Except dumb fuck the people who are wearing the masks are the ones who very clearly want to get back to normal We're not wearing masks to virtue signal or because we like the way that they look We're wearing masks because contrary to you probably we actually want things to return to normal before the fucking pandemic And if you actually did want to go back to the way that things were back in 2019 before the pandemic hit Then you would be encouraging your idiot viewers to wear fucking masks and get vaccinated But I'm beginning to think that you Want this to be just a permanent thing because then it gives you ammunition politically It makes you more popular perhaps because you tell people what they want to hear it just I'm at a loss I'm at a loss because this is so unbelievably fucking dangerous for the most popular pundit in America To be not only discouraging people from wearing masks But actively encouraging his audience to confront people harass people potentially Because they choose to do the right fucking thing the bare minimum to stop the spread of COVID-19 And then he says if you see children wearing masks Well, we should equate that with actual child abuse and you should call the police immediately because that's basically the same thing as Physically beating your kids. So I mean if you saw a parent Spanking their kid in public. I mean you you would assume that their child abusers abusers So you should treat people who put masks on their kids in the same way It's just deranged it's Borline psychopathic and I genuinely don't know what the motive is here There's no money to be made with him discouraging people from wearing masks I mean when when Republicans and Capitalists talk you talk about the need to reopen the economy They do that because there's this financial incentive But if you want to reopen the economy and get things back to normal faster masks are crucial To actually making that a reality So there there's no financial motive here They're the only reason the only utility I could fathom as to why he'd be doing something like this Is because he just wants to watch the world burn I mean it seems a little bit Reductionist and you know a little bit hyperbolic, but I just I don't know What else the goal could possibly be What else do you get from discouraging people from wearing masks and encouraging your viewers to confront people? We're wearing masks. What do you get out of this? He knows it's not true So I just I don't know but what I do know is that no reasonable person should take Tucker Carlson seriously and Reasonable people don't but you don't have to take my word for it Take Fox News's word for it because they actually won a defamation lawsuit by persuasively arguing that no reasonable viewer Actually takes Tucker Carlson Seriously and the ruling agreed hence why they won Saying this general tenor of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not stating actual facts about the topics He discusses and is instead engaging in exaggeration and non-literal Commentary and I think that that's obvious to people with two brain cells to rub together But the things that most people who tune into Tucker Carlson They're not just libs or leftists hate watching Tucker Carlson They tune into him because they actually do think that he's a legitimate news source and it's not just that they think he's a Legitimate news source. He's one of multiple. They think perhaps he might be one of the best one of the only truth tellers in America it is deeply harmful deeply dangerous and I mean at this point if you're still defending Tucker Carlson and you don't see through him I don't know what else to say. What he's doing. It's bad for American society It's divisive and at this point with folks like Tucker Carlson if people took him seriously Then this pandemic would just last forever Because the one thing that we can do that's easy is wear masks and He's discouraging that even so I Don't know what else to say like this honestly it kind of has me at a loss for words He's just a fucking scumbag and He's a terrible human being
