Choosing Sides

Guest Post by The Zman

At the end of last week, the lead writer for the Tucker Carlson show was fired for blasphemy, after it was discovered he was posting unapproved jokes on an on-line forum under a pseudonym. How his blasphemy was discovered is unknown, but the keepers of truth have teams of top women hunting down these people in order to keep their domains safe from unapproved thoughts. This is, of course, a familiar story that is now what the old newspaper guys would call a “standing head.”

Tucker Carlson has not commented on it, but his bosses at Fox News promise he will have an on-air struggle session Monday. Fox News, of course, “strongly condemns this horrific behavior.” By horrific, they mean saying “given how tired black people always claim to be, maybe the real crisis is their lack of sleep” on an on-line forum dedicated to snarky humor. Clearly, such words are so monstrous it is hard to believe a human being could think such things, much less say them out loud.

In all seriousness, one has to wonder what language is reserved for a school bus that rolls over on an icy road or the orphanage the catches on fire. This is, allegedly, a news organization, whose job it is to report events. If edgy jokes are now classified as “horrific” then how do they convey the image of a school bus flipped over? How can anyone take seriously their descriptions when they indulge is suck ridiculous emotional hyperbole like this? Teenage girls have more fortitude.

You can’t help but notice how the bold, rock-ribbed defenders of truth and civility have adopted the language of the Left. Like the old communists, Progressive now contort the language to such extremes that it is becoming a genre of humor. How long before they force Sean Hannity to call Peter Brimelow a running dog lackey? What adds to the absurdity is the people indulging in the hyperbole are the sorts of mediocrities you find staffing government offices.

We’ll have to see what Carlson has to say about it, but unless he dramatically resigns on-air, the one thing we can know for sure is that when the choice is between his friends on the Left and the people who watch his show, he will pick his friends. His man of the people act is just that, an act. Carlson is super-wealthy. If he walked away from his job, his grandchildren would never have to work a day in their life. If he gets fired, it means fly fishing in Maine and ski trips to Aspen.

In other words, his former head writer took more risk posting edgy jokes on-line than Tucker appears willing take in defense of his writer. Unless this Neff guy is from old money, he is now going to suffer real harm. He will not only lose his income, but he will suffer internal exile for as long as the revolution rolls on. Whenever he applies for a job, he will have to atone for his crimes against the one true faith. As a practical matter, he may have to change his name in order to live.

This is the sort of stuff Tucker spends every night railing against. He has made his name condemning things like cancel culture. For him to obsequiously go along with his key writer being cancelled makes him a hypocrite and a liar. It means that in the end, his friends and neighbors in the ruling class come before the principles he claims to be fighting to advance. More important, he’s asking you to do what he lacks the testicular fortitude to do in his own domain.

He’s not alone in this. Charles Murray, the former biological realist, thinker and writer has gone down the same path as Carlson. After having got some credit for having stood against the mob, he is now throwing in with the mob. Like Tucker, Murray would rather be with his friends than defend the ideas he once claimed to champion. It will not be long before he is required to burn his own books and condemn his former collaborator Richard Herrnstein. He’ll do it with enthusiasm too.

We’ll see what Carlson says on Monday. You can be sure an army of top people are crafting a speech to keep the sheep in the fold. Most of the people watching Tucker are so desperate for a champion, they will overlook just about anything. This is what Team Trump is counting on in the November election. Opinion does not alter fact. The fact here is that one of his own was dragged out by the witch hunters, put through the ritual humiliation of cancel culture and Carlson did nothing.

This is the reality we must accept. This war the ruling class is waging on white people is not a product of a small cabal within the ruling class. It is all of them. Worse yet, the war has become a profit center for them. Would anyone be shocked if Fox News, after having cancelled one of their own, starts selling “free speech face mufflers” in the Fox News store? Maybe have Tucker pitch them on his show, right after he condemns Blake Neff for his horrific language.

In the end, this revolution will end up where all revolutions end. Everyone will be forced to choose sides and give over their life to the cause they choose. The people living in mansions will find the choice easy. Every day they are reminded of how well the revolution is treating them. For everyone else, it is more difficult, but eventually, everyone will have to become a partisan for their own cause. Everyone will have to be as loyal to his side as Tucker is to his side.

It never really ends. This part of the cycle leads to war. You are either ready for it, or you are not.

Tucker Carlson is the #1 rated cable news show in America. The higher you climb the bigger the target on your back. The Marxist Left consider anybody in his orbit to be fair game. Nobody should be surprised when anybody who works for his show becomes a target. It ain’t right or fair; but don’t expect Tucker Carlson to resign because a writer was targeted. If his show wasn’t a threat they wouldn’t bother.

Well stated. We shall see tomorrow I imagine. I have recently discovered the Newsmax TV channel. It is populated by all sorts of decent yet imperfect former FOX people and some others from various non-communist orbits who no longer pass the Murdoch Bro’s purity test. Not really a purity test but whatever gains them laurels and kudos from the Ivy League shitheads populating the “Manhattan scene.” If you have wondered what happened to this man or this woman who always had such interesting or newsworthy things to tell us, I am seeing them on Newsmax. In fact, if you do as I have done this past week or so you will be amazed at how many people you probably thought were first rate and disappeared from FOX who are on Newsmax. Literally dozens!

“Horrific”? Give me a break. It’s called freedom of speech. Anonymous posts on a sarcastic, non-politically-correct message board (very much like TBP).

“Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.”

(From Amendment 1 of the Bill of Rights.)

Given his position, he certainly should have been more careful to hide clues about his identity, but I hope Tucker Carlson defends his constitutional right to say whatever he wants about whatever he wishes.

Congress did not make the speech laws that are being enforced, they are written by progressives and can be changed to suit the situation. Creepy Old Joe can call a black man clean and articulate and nothing is said. If Mitch McTurtle says it, it is blasphemy.

“Lying dog-faced pony soldier.” I wonder how it would be found an example of horrifying racism if one of us or a Republican said it, even though it is just stupid

except “they” (as least at first) didn’t make laws violating the 1st. instead “they” were clever and used the printing press and in-group nepotism to buy/take over everything so “private” companies would be doing the abridging and not the govt thereby pacifying libertarian neckbeards.

Faux cannot afford to lose Tucker Carlson…..their ratings are slipping now as Brett Baer gets more unwatchable by the day and Hannity and the rest are too late in the menu to watch if your an early riser….

“Carlson is super-wealthy. If he walked away from his job, his grandchildren would never have to work a day in their life. If he gets fired, it means fly fishing in Maine and ski trips to Aspen.”

Blah, blah, blah, ultimately Tucker is still just a script-reading R. vs D. pundit.

I haven’t read a Zman article in months.

This one wasn’t too bad.

Why. Because he’s wise enough to see through the inane R vs D uniparty propaganda?

Zman speaks as if everything Carlson does he first runs past the Z himself.
Carlson hasn’t yet spoken. How do you know his thoughts?
Maybe Carlson thought he was a douche bag and has secretly wanted the guy gone for years. Who knows? That’s the point; who knows.
You’re assuming far too much.

Tucker’s a smarter guy than Zman has shown himself to be. A wiser man would’ve waited for Tucker to speak before criticizing. He’s certainly earned a benefit of the doubt.

Proclaiming this to be “A Time for Choosing” is not a novel concept. Nothing said here couldn’t have waited until after tomorrow night’s show. Poor form.

Just more Kabuki to make Carlson look like opposition to the Fish genocide of white conservatives.
Lets not forget who Murdock is. NWO from the getgo.

Murdock’s 2 sons run Fox now, both are flaming liberals.

So they co-sign Tucker’s paychecks. . . for now, until they cancel him too.

If someone really wanted to, they could find out within some degree of certainty who’s posting messages on just about any site.
It becomes easier when the site is integrated on twitter.

If Ron white with a Twitter account went on TBP by the moniker “tater salad”, anybody could put it together by going to the comedian’s Twitter account to read tweets sounding like ones posted on TBP. And if he posted a tweet on TBP integrated on twitter, well”You caught me, you caught the tater”.

The writer for carlson likely admitted to it after confronted. Higher profile personalities draw more attention like pedophile ghislaine maxwell who somehow somebody allegedly pieced together her handle on reddit belonging to her- Maxwellhill.

Belicoso,

I’m not tech savy…does a VPN help?

Will it keep in the back of the FEMA Camp line?

Belicoso
Belicoso

my comment was just an llustration of a common nuance. I don’t know how Carlson’s writer was identified. I just don’t have the time reading about it.
As for VPN’s, which concerns sending and receiving data across networks privately, that simple illustration about Ron White already revealed enough information about his identity so any VPN is a moot point.
Your FEMA camp statement didn’t provide a lot to go on so I didn’t understand what you meant

Like the moon landings, nuclear weapons, and Waco, I figured the Unabomber was some sort of hoax they way they kept pumping it and even claimed to be putting his cabin in a museum.

I’ve noticed there are many here who believe in Carlson. Awhile ago there were rumblings of him for president. Who started thAt, I wonder?
A DC citizen, tv reporter, episcopalian (religion stated when asked. Very safe), on and on. We are desperate but come on.
It can be enough that he mouths some truths you don’t have to ‘believe in him’.

Well meaning folks such as Tucker Carlson must walk a very narrow path when attempting to bring us happenings that would otherwise be promptly categorized as a non-issue, not worthy of comment or discussion.
Regardless of their true belefs, or system of values, they elected to be hired by a major network, that is controlled totally and completely by the Worldwide Khazarian mafia.
That said, it is a delicate matter for him to fill his role as a “kosher” conservative, while maintaining a mildly controversially sufficient dialogue to keep his viewers interest and for the most part, their support.
The image comes to mind of Tucker performing his nightly balancing act with a stern looking fellow just off stage with a 357 magnum pointed directly at his head.
This is a job that’s not for the fainthearted, as one word said in error, or a momentary lapse of judgement, can find oneself in deep doo doo. In this era of “cancel culture,” it would not be beyond the realm of probabilities to suddenly find himself “canceled,” with all of the obligatory hoopla about his evil past, his shadowy right wing associates and that he may have said the “N” word, while he pointed a finger at a classmate in fifth grade.
The point is that all that is taking place is pure theatrics and is at its core complete and utter bullshit.
Until Tucker has the balls to pan the camera over and point to the figure with the gun to his head, all this will continue unabated.
You can watch and be entertained, but the bottom line is this: they own us and everything held dear to our hearts. We gave it to them when we allowed them to be the keeper of the printing press. Everything that you see and hear officially is a fraud and a lie.
Write a letter to the editor of your local paper and complain – they own the paper.
Write your Congressman and complain – they own him or her, too.
Vote for Trump, that’ll make a difference – Sorry, he is owned, lock, stock and barrel.
Vote for Biden, we need a “change” -Really? Now you’re starting to panic. Oh, and he and the entire crooked bunch of vultures that fronts for him is also owned, but maybe if you voted really hard this upcoming election…………………
