    By that, do you mean you share Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people? Because that may have to be brought up in future conversations. It’s a very important detail about you.

      I don’t see a point in continuing this line of conversation.

      Your beliefs are yours, and that is fine.

      I try to hold people I do not agree with and those I do to a higher standard; I do not outright follow what seems like MSM talking points or what the status quo wants us to believe of such people, especially when such labels are seen to be taken by some as outright gospel.

      I have my own bias against certain people, but I will still try to take the time to directly listen to what they say until I make a sound judgment of their character.

      I try to push against my own bias so I may change my views as I continue to learn, but I do not think it would fit with MSM and the status quo talking points.

      I hope this explains a bit more about where we differ.

      TLDR: All is well; have a great day!

        You differ by supporting a terrible human being who was kicked off his platform for lying and making his company liable to a massive lawsuit, and then immediately going to Russia to show his support for a tyrannical dictator. That is questionable character.

        This does not put off the “I’m totally above it all and chill #based” vibes you wish it did.

        All that I needed you to explain was whether or not you agreed with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs about black people. It was a yes or no question.

        Your refusal to answer it suggests to me that it’s a yes.

            Again: it was a yes or no question, so I will take it as a yes, you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racist beliefs.

            You could easily say no. You’ve been given ample opportunity. Trying to weasel your way out of a yes doesn’t make it not a yes.

                You can paste this as many times as you like. In future conversations with you, I will now know that you agree with Tucker Carlson’s racism and discuss things with you accordingly.

                Please do paste this again. It will change nothing about future discussions. You have shown your true self.

                    When you look at everything through the racist lens of Tucker Carlson, all topics are controversial, and many of them the fault of black people.

        I have my own bias against certain people, but I will still try to take the time to directly listen to what they say until I make a sound judgment of their character.

        “I hate most black people, but if they say things I like then they’re one of the good ones.”
