I didn't know what TYT stood for, so I googled it. The Young Turks, which I read was a progressive political group. Interestingly I had heard of them, but not in a long time. Why anyone would give Tucker Carlson a pass on his terrible beliefs is beyond me. Seems like humanity has flown out the window in every direction.
On to another point, but not exactly in this article. Kristoffer, you have mentioned many times that things can always get worse. Wham! this morning we were greeted with Trumps military attack on Iran. A war with dubious reasoning behind it. I tried to listen to some talking heads this morning. Had to click them off. In my mind it is dangerous plotting to stop our 2026 elections. Perhaps I am freaking out on this, but it sure seems that way to me. Not only the election but a cost of so many lives both in our military and those on the ground--Iranians and others.
Thank you for this article. I just wish this latest news hadn't shaken me so. Humanity does seem to be a lost cause. You do get it right. 😔💌
“What I do not do is negotiate my humanity or the humanity of others.”
Thank you for another article that hits everything on the head. You are a hammer and a clarion call in a world that makes mud out of what should be crystal clear.
I don't know who this Ana Kasparian person is. I generally try not to reward attention economy actors that haven't proven themselves either through moral clarity or keen insight so reading this utterly inane, blind nonsense, “He’s supported Zionism, so I don’t think he’s antisemitic...” it's clear that Ms Kasparian will NOT penetrate my personal attention paywall any time soon.
To the main point: I can't for the life of me understand how people tie "support" or "critique" of Israel to a position on Jewishness as a people or faith tradition. It's not mutually exclusive to critique of the policies/actions of Netanyahu and Israel as a national state and respect the personhood of Jewish people or the reverse, like Tucker.
This is the problem with the attention economy in general: The ever present content churn without regard to quality. I call my sources out on it when I see it.
Thank you for the article, Kristoffer. I’m not a person who cares about, Tucker Carlson. He is quite the biased person and commentator. I believe he comments in the correct way, when it suits him personally. I’m upset with our democrats that take money and claim they got other democrats elected to office. Representative Jefferies has taken 1.3 million from an Israel pact! I thought he really truly cared about people being elected. Instead he decided to line his own pockets, perhaps 🤔? Now that we are at war, with Iran I am sure he was convinced to make sure this happens. End Citizens United!

Genuine question. Is TYT short for The Young Turks or take your time? Thanks.
