This is how it is with reactionaries. It's always one side or the other, and they can't comprehend that there's a "why not both" option. Noo, you can't be opposed to two things who are (on the surface) appear opposed to one another!!! It violates the rulesss!! SIIIIIdessssssss

Tucker has had a few decent points, though is pretty irredeemable as a result of supporting white supremacism. But he's basically the American new right's Jon Stewart. It's just fluff for people who want to be entertained, not informed. Give them some feel good juice to take away the bone hurting, some righteous indignation, and some chuckles, and then let them forget for another day.

Tucker's an outlet valve and nothing more. Functioning as intended. One of the biggest MSM outlets had him on because he served a purpose. Now shut up and go jack off to your Chinese cartoons, OP.

Meanwhile, here's Tucker's first monologue since getting canned from Fox.
<9.5 million views on Twitter in 6 hours.
I know that's a hard number to comprehend while sitting alone in your dingy apartment surrounded by smoke, ashes, and a general condition of disarray.
Allow me to put it into perspective.
In another thread, someone claimed this site averages 200 daily users. I'd assume most of that is bots/web scrapers. But let's take it at face value.
<In 6 hours, 47,500 times more ppl watch Tucker's video than visit this site in a day.

Tucker is, like every other media personality, someone who is a product of his audience and his culture. His existence as a media personality is predicated on such.
I don't dislike Tucker, but why should I care about him in particular? Or Vaush, or Hasan, or even politicians like Obama, Biden and Trump?
I care more about what this or that section of the masses sees in these people. If any of then died tomorrow, what else would change? Wouldn't their audience flock to another personality, someone who can translate the same fundamental desires in similar ways?
Tucker is not really against the bourgeoisie or against US hegemony. We know this because the truth is in what he does. He makes money saying the things that his audience wants to hear. Throughout his whole career he never published a coherent manifesto of an alternative system or proposed a novel means of interpreting the world.
Do you think Vaush is anti-capitalist? I don't, and I think much of the same of leftypol/leftychan as well. The truth is in what we do, and so far we've done nothing, because that's what we secretly want…and the audience for these people want something quite similar: an easy way out of politics, someone who can provide us with satisfying performance.
So no, I don't think anyone here is the "real opposition", myself included. There is no political opposition, because there is no politics. What we call politics is merely an industry of moralization.
Real politics is a life or death struggle for power, and until we have the will to become political again, the opposition simply doesn't exist.

Lol, you really can't make up this level of navel gazing faggotry. The only part remotely correct was the admission that you don't oppose those in power.

Anyways, here's a video of (presumably) a LaRouchite dunking on a few media ghouls while name-dropping Hersh, Carlson, and Uhuru.

Since the left(tm) only turns out to defend transhumanists and protest 'hardcore fashists' such as [checks notes] Jordan Peterson these days, other forces have emerged as the vanguard of the anti war movement. Congrats

Investment is designed to turn you into an apologist for capitalism because you're literally invested in the outcome, regardless of the means used to get there.

I know people who claim to be on the left who also invest. They're kidding themselves. Not earning your 5-10% a year is the price you pay for not being a massive backsliding piece of shit. There is no way around that one. Invest in coops if you want to use your sexy uwu capital somehow, but don't expect a return.

I don't think you understand my point. I believe in free speech, I do not dislike Tucker, I hate pro-establishment media figures and I am against censorship.
But Tucker as an individual just isn't important to me.
People get smeared and censored all the time. That it more often affects the right is because the left effectively doesn't exist, being completely absorbed into the democratic party. Tucker is wealthy enough that he can avoid the worst consequences of censorship. He might even be able to turn it around in his favor.
But none of this is politics, it's just moralizing and gang warfare. Once again, politics is a life or death struggle for power. Our problem is a political one and neither you nor I nor Tucker are political.
So yes, it really is exactly the same as a bunch of autists on leftypol who no one cares about. I didn't see any arguments from you, just contempt and scorn like any good moralist, so I'll assume you tacitly agree with me and move on.

>Serial hand waving and the inability the deal with the world as it is.
I get what you are saying. Unfortunately, your standards are so pie in the sky that you effectively treat politics like a RPG or sci fi novel - something that doesn't exist but could if only we try or believe enough while pursuing 'correct ideas' (and likely the more esoteric the better).

Moreover, it's fake and ghey in the sense that you can make these claims about anyone without having to actually reference anything they say or do.
>So and so isn't discussing power in the way I'd like them to (I know know this despite haven't spent next to no time listening to them). Therefore, it's not real politics.

And this is the irony. Any popular politics as a 'struggle for power' inherently involves engaging with people on issues they care about - what Tucker excels at. It's definitely not patting oneself on the back for having the most pristine (and obscure) opinions about the minutiae of Marxist/leftist theory (usually touted by professors, i.e. govt agents).

>Politics is the struggle over power

>Everything is political

Why is Tucker so special? So he has a massive fucking audience of retards who could barely spell their own names.Big fucking deal,Who cares about an army or reactionaries. It has nothing to do with out goals and aims as workers.You are long a dog chasing a car.

You wouldn't know what to do if you caught it.

That's why you cling to these personalities like your life deepened on it. As one poster mentioned, politics is a struggle for power between two opposition classes of people. Tucker getting axed from fox news is arguably a good thing because he can stop filling workers minds with reactionary half measures and rhetoric about vaccines and election fraud. Maybe people will focus more on a living wage and benifits. 36 hour work weeks. Shit that matters.

Your post almost looks as if it was responding to someone else.
Politics is a struggle for power. This sums up the history of politics ever since the dawn of civilization, no? The only thing that's (probably not so) unique about now is that our perception and constitution of politics has changed drastically. Politics still exists, we just don't call it politics anymore. Instead we think that politics is a struggle for justice or good morals.
If you think real politics is unrealistic and "pie in the sky", then you're a capitalist realist and have no valid claim to being against the bourgeoisie or US hegemony, what you seem to praise Tucker for. If anything, that's what an inability to deal with the world really looks like.
My argument has nothing to do with opinions and ideas, but with action and the relationship between ideas and action. It's a mundane point which thought I communicated pretty clearly. What Tucker and those like him functionally do is the opposite of political engagement. They allow people to be politically disengaged, by performing a sort of pseudo-politics on their behalf. I have no problem with Tucker's opinions, what I am pointing out is the disconnect with his actions.
Finally, I never said that everything is political, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Why do you keep misrepresenting my position? Do you enjoy arguing against strawmen, anon? Because it certainly seems like it.

I'd actually agree with you. Competence and excellence are paramount - not bare numbers.

But let's be honest. Competence and excellence don't describe the left in the slightest - at least outside of a few historical examples of leftist parties which actually demanded such of their members (the Bolsheviks, the CCP, etc)
Instead, we have fags, incels, anime fans, reddit tier history dorks, and stoners here in Leftychad.

Let's compare some things you've said:
>>147374
>Politics is a struggle for power. This sums up the history of politics ever since the dawn of civilization, no?… Politics still exists, we just don't call it politics anymore.

Vs.
>>147353
>There is no political opposition, because there is no politics. What we call politics is merely an industry of moralization.

Like I said - constant faggy hand waving. No wonder you've never been successful at much, including political organizing. Even leftychan is hilariously just a platform to make fun of people like you. It's growth over the past few months as correlated with it's growth as a platform to make fun of the muhleft. You're literally not even competent at popularizing leftychan as a serious leftist website. (And for good reason. R/communism and leftypol already have the market cornered on hyperghey moralfagging sectarianism.)

>Finally, I never said that everything is political, so I don't know what you're talking about.

>Why do you keep misrepresenting my position? Do you enjoy arguing against strawmen, anon? Because it certainly seems like it.
I'm a different vein, I apologize. I didn't mean to imply that you said 'everything is politics.' I meant to imply that 'politics is struggle for power' (what you said) and 'everything is politics'(what you didn't say) can both be true.

This all said, you're not entirely wrong. Tucker very well could be a sort of release valve - a sort of smoke and mirrors of fake opposition. But that position is also a sort of ghey purity posturing - not too far removed from poltards who seethe and denounce him because he won't 'name the jew' or say uyghur.

If you can point to something in the real world which is building public opinion in opposition to ruling institutions more effectively, I'd love to hear your opinion. Personally, I'd assume one of the reasons he is so successful is because he dumbs down his message into a narrative of good vs. evil. People in groups are actually pretty dumb. Trying to appeal solely on rationality will

In conclusion, reddit tier sophistry about how 'muh no one is doing politics, including me' is just the moral preening of an ineffective faggot who feels the need to diminish people with far more influence than almost anyone on the muhleft.

Okay, you got me there. I should have said that politics has not yet been constituted as such, not that politics does or doesn't exist. Just like the working class doesn't really exist until it's constituted into a class.
>I meant to imply that 'politics is struggle for power' (what you said) and 'everything is politics'(what you didn't say) can both be true.
You can't both say "politics is a struggle for power" and "everything is politics" because not everything is a struggle for power. I don't think my struggle to choose between hard or soft pillows is political.
>If you can point to something in the real world which is building public opinion in opposition to ruling institutions more effectively, I'd love to hear your opinion

Your economic position changes your mindset, I'm not expecting homeowners and people with stock portfolios to back me up, I expect them to be liberals. And I think everyone has personal anecdotes about people they know that support this, it shouldn't be controversial.

I personally don't invest because I'm too poor to do so currently, but I also sometimes have extra money and I have never given a shit about saving up for retirement so I've never invested it. I don't know if that makes me a leftist or a doomer.
