What an odd and tactless approach to take.

Wow. 
Poor little rich kid, just wilting away from a lack of attention.
He’s trolling, you see

I am not sure if trolling is the right word, but something like that.
Attention-seeking, blowing everything out of proportion, using childish spoiled-brat extreme language. I follow a lot of stock and econ analysis on twitter. Tucker Carlson reminds me of the guys who see some problem looming in the economic horizon and instead of calling it “a concern” he goes banging all the alarm bells predicting a horrendous crash, a depression, a dark age, the near-end of all humanity.

He is venting.
After how Fox treated him can you blame him?
Same is almost true here…so…?
Carlson is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary’

I’ll take the US any day but…“we” have some very serious internal problems that are exacerbating every day. Our nation is separating from “in God we trust” and as this is happening, our nation is weakening, dividing and coming apart.
When things are at their worst, like WWI, the great depression and WWII…mankind is at it’s best. Tom Brokaw labeled those that lived through those times as, “the greatest generation”. When things are at their best…as the decades that have followed WWII…mankind is at their worst.
It’s time for inner reflection my fellow Americans. Here is the question posed by a Democrat President decades ago; “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”. How many of us are “doing for their country” and not expecting the other way around? If you can answer that honestly, your eyes are opening to the fact…the US has serious problems that “we” need to unite behind and fix. The violence in our youth right now spotlights what I’m saying. The fact that those in charge of our southern border lie to Congress saying it’s “secure” while millions and millions are pouring in, not vetted with many on the terrorist watch list clearly identifies just how large this problem is right now.
Russia is certainly not better in any way but “we” have serious problems that are exacerbating and to me…is of a much larger concern.

I can’t really blame Tucker. I assume the pipeline of right-wing micro-celebrities to Russian propagandadists involves some form of coercion.

thanks for posting the video
i agree with him 100%, at least in this segment
Lol…wut?
He’s full of crap.
The average Russian makes $800 a month.
They spend over half their salary on food.
Food is not cheaper in Russia. You are being played for a fool.

This seems worth mentioning here:
Does it need to be explained that Putin is a dictator?
That he controls the media?
That he jails and kills his political opponents?
That he is
Does it need to be explained that, because of him, Russia has one of the most-repressed, least free economies in the world?
That lack of economic freedom causes mass poverty?
(Which makes those same groceries unaffordable at local incomes?)
In terms of economic freedom (capitalism) Putin’s Russia is much closer to North Korea than to any of the rich free countries of the world,
-and-
Throughout the world and throughout every region free economies have a much higher standard of living than unfree economies.
It is scary how easily supposedly intelligent people are fooled into supporting repressive dictators.
Russia is not politically free.
Russia is not economically free.
Russia is dirt poor.
(Those things almost always go together that way.)
But give a person a few years of arguing politics and suddenly he is willing to throw free-markets and democratic principles out the window, and boldly believe that a poverty-stricken impressive economy is better than a rich free one. (I blame the parents.)

The Woke Libs (c) seem to desire this sort of thing and seem to be pushing the country in that direction.
Do you disagree?

perfect. start the discussion off like an 8th grader
no he’s not. our gov is causing so much decay that stores like walgreens and others close down or move locations because they get shoplifted to death and can’t conduct normal business because of deranged wokey policies in your leftist paradise.
As much as you hate to see it, food prices are still ridiculous and getting more so combined with these awful reckless liberal policies I can see why Tucker makes the comparison to supermarkets that aren’t being shoplifted to death or destroyed.
Tucker did not dispute any of this. Yes I saw the community notes on Twitter too.
Tucker did not say food was cheaper in Russia. He’s pointing out how through destructive leftist policies giving to crime filth and destruction are not happening in Russian grocery stores in other words in the “heart of evil” they have a better standard of living (in thus regard anyway) than you lefty Paradise inner city ■■■■ holes

They are doing nothing that compares with the repressive Russian regime.
We should not even be having this conversation.
My God do we have no core beliefs about freedom
"Geee, In Stalin’s Russia coffee was only 2-cents, which was one hours wages.
repressive dictatorships are great! Free markets suck!"

Tucker does not address this. Yes I agree.
also agree, and nor does Tucker dispute this, but he is standing in a grocery store that is not being decimated or shoplifted to death, like we keep seeing in our beloved cities
