Tucker Carlson: The REAL REASON US Elites Hate Russia
In late February 2022, then-Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson launched a pro-Russia monologue in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, pushing his audience to ask themselves, “Why do I detest Putin so much?“ The gist of Carlson’s remarks regarding Russia’s leader is that Putin should not be considered an enemy. Instead, the true enemies of America are those who label white Americans as racists, those who teach so-called critical race theory in schools, business elites who outsource jobs, and those who imposed Covid lockdowns on the United States.
In short, Carlson said that the true enemies of America are domestic - racial minorities, doctors and politicians, professors and educators, and major firms that outsource work to foreign countries. Carlson has consistently opposed US support for Ukraine. Carlson’s subsequent wars have primarily been against these alleged internal opponents.
So, is Tucker Carlson difficult to classify? On the one hand, he promotes neo-Nazi propaganda clichés such as the “white replacement“ idea, which claims that leftist elites want to replace “heritage Americans“ with imported non-white immigrants. On the other hand, he criticises the media, intellectual and political elites, as well as US participation in Ukraine, while promoting individuals who identify as the “anti-war left,“ such as Jimmy Dore. How should we best comprehend this set of viewpoints? If Carlson, like many of those who cheer him, has fascist tendencies, how do we explain his strong opposition to US military and financial support for Ukraine? Surely, historically, fascism is incompatible with Carlson’s isolationist viewpoint.
We should use history as a guide here. However, in this case, American history is more informative than European history. Prior to the outbreak of World War II, all of America’s pro-fascist parties rejected US engagement in support of its allies against Nazi Germany. Opposition to the United States’ assistance for Britain against Nazi Germany was sometimes characterised as “isolationism.“
During this period, openly fascist organisations existed, like the German American Bund. The America First movement was less clear-cut. According to historian Bradley Hart, at a crowded America First rally in Madison Square Garden in 1941, Montana Senator Burton K Wheeler attacked “jingoistic newspapers and sabre-rattling financiers“ who were dragging the country into war with Germany.
