Tucker Carlson emits a specific form of political radioactivity that causes damage and breakdown to political organs; also, no one in established political organizations wants to get close enough to put up lead shields to block the rays. This is not well understood yet.
The ongoing tentativeness around Candace Owens also remains unexplained, while producing weird effects like Megyn Kelly's almost unfathomable vileness. We will eventually find out things about all this.
Anyone paying attention saw after the October 7 massacre a whole group of podcasters and "influencers" turned dramatically against Israel and Jews instantly and without explanation while lots of other people played dumb. I haven't seen much curiosity about it.
People talk about Qatar, Russia and China in this connection and maybe that's true but it was like someone turned a switch, whereas new funding sources would presumably take effect more gradually, even just for the sake of plausibility. People colluded, or conspired, and it
would be very interesting to know what thoe conversations were like and how they connected to various organizations, donors, etc. It was a hijacking, and a well planned one. I assume anyone still playing dumb is part of it.
@slooperbia50068 It's an odd, tricky situation, and I keep coming back to it with the sense that there are things I'm missing.
@truepeers A group of very well known people with well established views on these questions changed on a dime—that’s what I’m referring to.
@truepeers Yes, but I'm looking at a very specific cluster, with Tucker Carlson providing the "trigger."
@BlueAntarctica Yes, but there was at least a decades long build up to BLM (there were riots in the 60s, then Ferguson, etc.) and I don't know of any well known people who went from a strict law and order stance to suddenly accusing the cops of mass murdering black men.
