Tucker Carlson

Well, that's just a middle finger in your face.

That's a humiliation exercise.

That's the opposite of trying to comfort you.

That's trying to stoke your anxiety.

That's trying to make you feel worthless.

That's revealing how they really feel about you.

That's answering the central question of our moment, which is, are we, A, ruled by people who are selfish and short-sighted and capable of longitudinal thought, totally unwise, greedy?

Is that the leadership class we have?

Or is it even worse than that?

Are we ruled by an elite that actually hates us and hates the West and is doing whatever it can to harm the population of the United States and the West and of Europe and of Canada and Australia, New Zealand, the West?

Are the people in charge actively angry at us?

Do they not like us at all?

Do they mean us harm?

You don't want to think that.

That's so dark.

Could that really be true?

Hard to imagine it.

Your average American used to living in a very nice country, very nice people, a country where people are so nice that people who aren't nice, people with dark motives, really go out of their way to hide those motives, to dress them up as, I don't know what, charity, to build an NGO around whatever plans they have.

No, really, we're helping you here.

Americans are not used to imagining that the people in charge have not simply no interest in them, but actively desire to harm them.
