Today's Radicalization


Carlson's commentary is another not-too-veiled threat.

He's saying it's wrong for women to criticize men, and that if they don't stop, young men will feel justified in murdering more people.

He is, in effect, encouraging the nutballs - it's basically a variation on Stochastic Terrorism.

This is far more than a hint. The Press Poodles need to get this shit straight, and start calling it what it is.


Tucker Carlson Suggests Shootings Are Result of Lectures on Male Privilege

Tucker Carlson suggested on his Tuesday show that women lecturing men about male privilege is a contributing factor to mass shootings in the United States.

His comments came after the mass shooting at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, Illinois, that saw at least seven people killed and more than two dozen people injured. Following the shooting, police arrested 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III as the main suspect and charged him with seven counts of first-degree murder.

During his show, Carlson also claimed that poor mental health is a significant facet of why mass shootings happened and said that there were many people like Crimo across America.

"Look at Robert 'Bobby' Crimo, would you sell a gun to that guy, does he seem like a nut case? Of course, he does," Carlson said. "So why didn't anyone raise an alarm? Maybe it is because he didn't stand out. Maybe it is because there are a lot of young men in America who suddenly look and act like this guy. That is not an attack, it is just true."

He added: "Like Crimo, they inhabit that solitary fantasy world of social media, porn and video games."

Carlson then went on to claim these same men may be high on drugs and angry because they believe their lives will be worse than their parents'.

"They are high on government-endorsed weed, 'smoke some more, it is good for you.' They are numbed by the endless psychotropic drugs that are handed out in every school in the country by crackpots posing as counselors. Of course, they are angry, they know that their lives will not be better than their parents', they will be worse. That is all but guaranteed, they know that. They are not that stupid." he said.

"And yet the authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called privilege. 'You are male, you are privileged.' Imagine that, try and imagine an unhealthier, unhappier life than that. So a lot of young men in America are going nuts," Carlson continued.

"Are you surprised? By the way, a shockingly large number of them have been prescribed psychotropic drugs by their doctors, SSRIs or anti-depressants. That would include quite a few mass shooters."

Carlson also questioned why the authorities did not act more on the red flags they had seen from Crimo, prior to his alleged actions in the July 4 attack.


Carlson then played a snippet from a press conference held Tuesday regarding the shooting. Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli of the Lake County sheriff's office and the Lake County major crimes task force highlighted the instances where police encountered Crimo.

He said in April 2019, police were contacted by someone who had learned a week prior, Crimo had attempted to die by suicide. Police then spoke with Crimo and his parents and the matter was passed over to mental health professionals.

In the second instance, in September 2019, Crimo had a large collection of knives confiscated by the police after saying he "was going to kill everyone."

And also too:

It's not a stretch to see this as a pretty standard conflation of manipulative disinformation - an attempt to skew the issue in a way that gets people riled up and confused, and keeps them stuck in the boiler.

Carlson is taking the standard tropes, ie: "It's the mental health", together with "The doctors and the schools don't know what they're doing", together with "We should be enforcing the Red Flag Laws we have on the books instead of passing all these new laws" in order to get it all back to that comfortable stasis that makes it easy to sell dick pills and panty liners, so the rubes actually finance their own subjugation.

And that brings us back around to the point of the exercise, which is - as always - to tear down good government and keep people on edge until a critical mass is achieved, at which point it all explodes into an overwhelming popular demand for Daddy State rule. "We are ungovernable - save us, Daddy - please."
