        So you consume the gruel offered by a trust fundiarian flexian like a good little non thinking sheeple … noted.

        PS … were you aware that his full name is Tucker Swanson Mc Near Carlson and he is an heir to the Swanson frozen food fortune …..

        • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

          Sure Tucker is a privileged little [email protected] and not to be trusted but his repeated discussion about immigration is based on this subject being something the American people want to talk about and yet the mainstream will not engage or discuss this topic.
          Their knee jerk response to anyone who attempts to do so is to hysterically point the finger and scream “Wh!te [email protected]”!!!!!!!

          People are starting to see through the BS of this propaganda.
          Your little Mate on Vox is no enlightened fellow or friend of “the people”.
          Just another grubby propagandist trying to make money,…Just like Tucker.

          I didn’t think you such the Partisan Skip.

            Non sequitur EP …

            Deal with the rhetorical dialectal and what it promotes from a race and ethnic stand point and not some immigration issue. Sure numbers matter and but not some Goodwin-equse baggage.

            “his full name is Tucker Swanson Mc Near Carlson and he is an heir to the Swanson frozen food fortune”

            Is that a Non sequitur or just irrelevant to 4,200 we come’s point that he/she agreed with a lot of what Tucker has to say?

          • skippy

            What that a flexian fox newbs host like Bill he replaced or Hannity sort is a good Corporate MSM source of information … how is living under sharia law memes doing you now days … chortle ….

            Fat plumber blames the immigrants = boat people and not the wonky ideological MPS economics …. dude they were on planes … so ….

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            lol, I’ve been calling out Howards and the LNPs Tripling of immigration, while beating up on refos, from day one.
            Id vote to take the refos over the Visa scammers any day
            I notice you share Vox’s disdain for working class types and automatically question their ability to think.

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            The main issue for the Working Class is that they have no real political representation in our supposed democracy.

      • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

        #MeToo

        Anyone Knut who says that makes me a “Wh!te Supremac!st” can go and get fked.

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            What’s a Club?

            As for “Chomsky Notions” the one I’ve always liked the most, especially from his early days, was the deference he believes should be held for democratic decision making by, the majority of the population,…the common people.
            Something that Guy on the Vox thing you posted above clearly doesn’t give 2 fks about.
            Simply denouncing people as Racists if they do not agree with his narrative of how things should be decided.
            No doubt if he was a dictator just as many heads would roll than if Tucker was dictator.

            Just like your windy city mates Friedman, Stigler, Coase, Becker
            … glass houses thingy Skip…
            #chortle

          • skippy

            @ hot dog ….

            Your another self ignorant … PKE has no likeness to MPS or its affiliates like the Chicago school of economics.

          • drsmithyMEMBER

            ‘Tucker Carlson, man of the people’ is certainly one of the wilder takes out there.

            Something that Guy on the Vox thing you posted above clearly doesn’t give 2 fks about.

            Can you quote the relevant part of the article where this is made “clear” ?

            Simply denouncing people as Racists if they do not agree with his narrative of how things should be decided.

            Kinda like how you denouce anyone you don’t like as ‘hating the working class’ ?

          • skippy

            LMMAO Smithy …. hes banging on about Murdock’s spoon fed Bernays sauce banging on about working class in the same breath …. how absurdly delirious ….

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            Both of you still refuse to address what, not just the Working class, but the vast majority of the population in general want to talk about and have a say in.
            Citizenship
            Immigration
            Democracy
            Makes you both no better than “Blue dogs” yourselves.
            Your the fking same.

            Simple reality is that outside the MB bubble, “immigration” – other than refugees and r4c1sm – is not actually a big issue for most people. This is reflected in surveys and voting behaviour. You can (and, I’m sure, will) try to project immigration into the things people do say they care about, but this is, at best, disingenuous.

            I have no idea what you actually mean by “citizenship”, but I’m confident that it would be even less of an issue to most than immigration.

            To say that neither skippy nor I desire better democratic institutions is even more delusional than suggesting Tucker Carlson is in it for anyone except Tucker Carlson.

            TL;DR: Your usual Bvllsh!t ad hominem.

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            I couldn’t give less of a fk about Tucker Carlson.
            It was the immediate framing of anyone talking about Immigration as Wh!te Supremac!sts by that Vox [email protected] in Skips clip that gave me the sh!yts.

          • drsmithyMEMBER

            I couldn’t give less of a fk about Tucker Carlson.

            Uh, really ? Because just a few posts up you’re presenting him as a believer in your causes.

            It was the immediate framing of anyone talking about Immigration as Wh!te Supremac!sts by that Vox [email protected] in Skips clip that gave me the sh!yts.

            But that is just you straw manning.

            The “framing” is coming from a history of behaviour sympathetic to white supremacists and white nationalism, and r4c1st anti-immigrant screed in general, not simply “talking about immigration”.

          • ErmingtonPlumbingMEMBER

            The White Supremacy/White Privilege schtick exposes you as the Racist you are.

          • skippy

            EP …

            That Tucker bangs on about democracy[????] and ignores the new Jim Crow laws in Georgia or Citizens United and then bangs on about immigration is all you need to know. I mean this is Murdock’s flagship and you have to reconcile all the Bernays PR its pumped out since before the ME wars, Bill, Hannity, Beck, just wow ….

            Americas entire history is based on immigration E.g. everyone there is the offspring of immigrants and I don’t think new immigrants have the spending power to shape political outcomes, nor do I think they reside in the top wealth percentile or dilute its gene pool. Strangely or not history is pretty concise on using them as a scapegoat by weaponizing them for the failures of the elites via misdirection.

            “I do not believe in democracy. I think it stinks. I don’t think anybody except direct taxpayers should be allowed to vote. I don’t believe women should be allowed to vote at all. Ever since they started, our public affairs have been in a worse mess than ever.” – In 1946, Herbert Nelson was the chief lobbyist and executive vice president for the National Association of Real Estate Boards, and one of the highest paid lobbyists in the nation.

            Now for a giggle go search which school of economics has been awarded the faux noble prize more times than any other combined, then examine the ideological cornerstone to its entire philosophy and then go look out the window …. how can recent immigrants be responsible for what occurred all the way back in the 40s, then became dominate in the 70s, and transcends political parties over that time line …

            Good Grief …. its all shtick to increase ratings which translates to more money too him, that some ***identify*** “with it” is just a post marketing study – https://www.foxnews.com/story/cnn-lets-crossfire-host-carlson-go – circa Published January 6, 2005

            Oh and you might want to check out the old doco on how foxnews did an over night 180 degree shift in programing from a soft left social perspective to a hard right one.

    And then it fed on itself. The father of modern economics John Maynard Keynes described investing as a game in which the best strategy is not to put money into what you think is worthwhile, but to put money into what you think other people will think is worthwhile.

    And that’s why BTC and TSLA stocks have boomed. Because other people think it is worthwhile.
