EDIT - Chris Smalls kept on topic and continued talking about the union, which I think probably frustrated Tucker lol.
This is the worst timeline.
An article about the interview - https://www.mediaite.com/tv/tucker-carlson-praises-amazon-union-organizer-who-says-aoc-abandoned-him-i-certainly-am-rooting-for-you/
Carlson, admittedly not a supporter of labor unions, welcomed Smalls on Thursday to discuss the congresswoman and his fight against Amazon.
I'm begging y'all, please don't fall for this fascist bullshit that people like Tucker Carlson spew. They do not care about workers. "Allying" with faux-populists like Tucker to take down people like AOC is completely wrong.
Yes, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders are nowhere close to being "true" leftist politicians. It is our duty to criticize them from the left. But the moment you side with the fascists in attacking these liberals, is the moment you sign the death warrant of the leftist movement.
People like Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, and every other "populist" or "leftist" who spends all their time attacking AOC and telling their audience that it's preferable to side with Tucker fucking Carlson are literally leading their followers to be annihilated when the time comes. And I'm sure Dore and the other grifter fucks know this.
Do not be pawns for the fascists.
I think you're overreacting. I watched the clip. Tucker Carlson wanted him to attack and he didn't bite. It was pretty decent clip.
I noticed that as well. Tucker was rubbing his hands together waiting for a big hit but Chris didn't really say anything other than "AOC isn't S-tier." Smalls just said a bunch of valid critiques of the DNC. Basically said they are kinda trash (which is true) but nothing that I think Fox "news" can really run with.
Could you link the clip? Seeing the comments here have me hopeful, but it's still worrying that people are trying to turn to Tucker Carlson. I think the rest of my post still stands.
Edit - Found the clip. It's in the article itself.
I don't know how to link it. I watched it from the article. Apparently it is not working for other people.
I don't disagree with the spirit of the post. I just don't think Chris Smalls did that. I also don't spend very much time thinking about Dore at all. I have never heard anyone mention him outside.
I just watched the interview and I have no idea what you’re on about.
It’s a 3 minute interview. Tucker opened up with a question about AOC, to which Smalls responds by truthfully mentioning how AOC abandoned them, while also mentioning that he had “no ill will against her”.
They don’t mention AOC after that, and it was honestly a little awkward after that. Tucker asks Smalls several questions about the union campaign, but again there’s no further mention of AOC or shit talking of any other socdems.
Of course Tucker is going to say bad shit about AOC and he tried getting Smalls to do so in his opening question, but Smalls didn’t really go for it.
I couldn't find it, I saw a tweet and tried to find the source, but that led me to the article. Either way, the rest of my post is still valid.
The interview is in the article you linked.
I think you should delete this post. My heart kind of sank when I first read it, but it’s totally bullshit, Smalls hardly criticized AOC.
As for the rest of it, yeah I think actual organizers know these things already.
The interview is in the article you linked.
Ah, damn, thanks. I still think the rest of the post is valid, given that is clearly what Tucker was trying to do, even if Chris didn't take the bait.
what a smart move by Chris, going on pro-Union pro-worker Fox news
If you watch the interview, he did fine. It is kind of weird to go on tucker carlson as a leftist, and if I was a big hotshot organizer I never would, but for what it’s worth he did pretty good.
The clip is attached in the article. Smalls input was pretty dry and on topic towards the union. Almost like someone who organized an Amazon Warehouse has some experience dealing with hostile actors.
Agreed. It is a bad idea. Walking into a hatchet job. Editing works magic. Tucker had a bigger prize that night than the Amazon Union.
I’m leaning towards no tucker always but people said the same thing about Bernie having a fox town hall, which ended up going super well. If the DNC hadn’t killed him off in SC and dustbinned the whole campaign, I think it really would have done a lot to move the working class fox says they “represent.”
Smalls has done so many media interviews it's amazing. And he's always sticking to a consistent message and talking about upcoming organizing going on. It has to be tiring saying the same things so many times but it really seems like he's just using the opportunity to the greatest extent possible to get public support for the union campaign.
Bitches be like "can't stand idpol"
10 minutes later
Did the squad really abandon them though? And then post about it on Twitter? Like Smalls said they did? If so, just lmao. Another massive own goal.
The state of US socdem politicians
I just watch a mostly :LIB: movie about fascist chuds taking over :amerikkka: and while there's a bunch of criticism I can lob at the movie due to the protagonists basically being idiot libs as writtenby a chud, one scene really stands out
One of the main characters has a flashback (think Handmaid's Tale, same thing) to before the insurrection and he's watching TV when he gets a targeted ad where the fascist leader talks directly to him, uses his name even, informing him that if he donates to the fascist's presidential campaign he will have the debt from his student loans forgiven
That was the most realistic part of that movie, aside from the chuds being chuds and the lib protagonists being ineffectual losers who can't do shit to stop fascism because they don't understand that :amerikkka: was already fascist and their only plan is to escape to :kkkanada:
American Insurrection (2021)
There were some parts that were alright and I really wanted to like the protagonists but they started and kept making stupid decisions
Just shows that left consciousness is at a minimum. It's either that, or you could be cynical and say that Chris Smalls is looking to find his own grift. But being pro-union doesn't say much about where a person will diverge in their politics. Remember that plenty of union workers voted Trump. Ideology trumps all.
On top of that, you have entryists that start kowtowing to the neoliberal gerontocracy in Congress, and you have no idea if they're hiding power levels because all you have is sound bites at the end of the day
People like Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, and every other “populist” or “leftist” who spends all their time attacking AOC and telling their audience that it’s preferable to side with Tucker fucking Carlson are literally leading their followers to be annihilated when the time comes. And I’m sure Dore and the other grifter fucks know this.
Do not be pawns for the fascists.
I think those people mostly left a while back, but I definitely remember big mad threads about dore, greenwald, etc with lots of defenders.
