> Disagreeing with me doesn't make you a Nazi. In the case of Tucker Carlson (who I was referring to), spreading Nazi propaganda (eg [1]) is what makes him a Nazi. I don't mean he's a Nazi as a perjorative. I mean, quite litearlly, he's a Nazi.

Sorry, it was too painful trying to get through the Nazi propaganda you're spreading here. I'm afraid that I won't be able to take your word for it though.

I think it's rather much more likely that he is not literally a Nazi by any objective definition, that it is not Nazi propaganda he is spreading. It may be wrong, insensitive, even racist things he is saying, but it also may be things that aren't obviously wrong or necessarily racist but they threaten your beliefs and opinions. You'll forgive me for not just accepting that someone else is a Nazi based on anonymous internet accusations. I would certainly be open to reconsider it based on e.g., a transcript.




I am sympathetic to the issues of watching Tucker Carlson for any extended period. That one video I referenced actually broke my soul to watch. So let me show you some digests:

- "Quiz: Can You Tell the Difference Between Tucker Carlson and an Admitted White Supremacist?" [1]

- "How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable" [2]

- "The American far-right's Russian embrace" [3]

[3]: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2022/03/31/putin-fox-far-right-...


None of these sources support the accusation being made.


Sorry, I don't want "digests". They all sound just as tedious as Tucker's monologues, and not necessarily any more honest.

A simple transcript and arguments to that would suffice.
