I don’t like Tucker Carlson, but he’s doing the most American thing he can possibly do.
Name anything more American than giving zero fucks about the moral/ethical/destructive/antisocial implications of an action and TAKING THE FUCKING MONEY?
That is literally our most cherished core value in practice, prioritized higher than any other claimed values we pay lip service to. We literally make children go hungry and leave their public schools in underfunded ruin to cut our most zealous profiteer’s taxes and call it horseshit like “fostering self-reliance.”
I don’t like that about us, I don’t like us period. But it’s who we are, balls to bones. People either fucking each other over for moooaaaaaar money, or fantasizing about getting to be the ones doing it, when we aren’t shooting each other at least.
Our practiced values are wrong, and fully explain the hell we’ve made for ourselves. Tucker/Trump/Jones/McConnell etc people exist in prominence precisely because we celebrate/worship/emulate greed and the greedy instead of throwing rotten fruit at them when they show their faces. We literally beg life advice of our antisocial greed lords.
