Tucker Carlson is a f*cking lunatic, white supremacist, mysogynist, and Russian propagandist

"Wow, I didn't know they turned the Protocols of the Elders of Zion into a made-for-TV movie.".
Why does this remind me of Dan Brown's Davinci Code? :unsure:

They were mentioned in the book... change the Z to an S and that's probably why. Priory of Sion - Wikipedia

Custer did have a manifesto. He believed his victory at Little Bighorn would put him in the Oval Office.
Different Sion. That one didn't focus on some supposed nefarious Jewish plot, just a Xtian one.

I know it's different. I did say it reminded me of it. Both being plots against a religious group.

They're both more than simply plots against particular religious groups, I think.

The Da Vinci Code is based on The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, which advances a Q-Anon style conspiracy theory to the effect that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had children, and that their descendants emigrated to what is now the south of France, intermarried with various elite families, and eventually founded the Merovingian dynasty, and we know this because famous people who were in on this left Easter eggs strewn throughout history for the intrepid doing-their-own researcher to discover.

Antisemitism, as Yair Rosenberg argues in the latest issue of The Atlantic (Evernote link), differs from most other forms of racism in that it's based not simply on antipathy to towards a particular ethnic group but on an astonishingly flexible conspiracy theory that purports to explain pretty much everything that someone might dislike, which is why it unites so many different and mutually hostile constituencies.

They're not plots, though they might purport to describe plots, so much as pernicious conspiracy theories.

I did some fairly extensive reach research on the Priory and all way back when The DaVinci Code was first released. I used the term plot simply because that is what Romana used so I was going with what I knew she would understand. My research all those years ago debunked both conspiracy theories for me.

This is a marvelous description of something I've been thinking about for a while. I've long thought that overt anti-Semites seem "crazier" than other forms of bigotry. Not that other forms of bigotry are more okay, just that fanatical anti-Semites seem more nuts. By comparison, anti black racists usually don't think black people are controlling the world in some grand conspiracy. I also know a lot of white power people blame ((((((them)))))) for brain washing people into thinking they are gay or trans and that ((((((they)))))) incited Black Lives Matter so it's a convenient way to tie different kinds of bigotry together.

I guess being mad at the Mars company about "frumpy M&Ms" wasn't enough for Tuckums. He's started a new war with Howard Stern for daring to want his life back and Tuckums listeners to care about public health. Coincidence that Howard Stern is Jewish?

I'd love to see Howard Stern's response... I'm sure it will be great. Tucker can only act tough while comfy behind a desk.

Howard Stern will eat him for lunch.

And what's this about frumpy M&Ms?
