PTB, yes, but you don't get any points from me for recommending a pro-Tucker Carlson community.
This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearshiemer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.
We like [...] Tucker Carlson
Yeah, okay.

I didn't catch that either, that list of names didn't include Tucker Carlson when I first subbed. That is unacceptable, white nationalists should not be tolerated
I'm crossing that community out
@[email protected] why are allowing Tucker Carlson, an ideological white nationalist, in that community?
Good on ya for removing that shit and straight up laying out AMG here.
Reposting removing explicit X hyperlinks:
Tucker Carlson has called out Ben Shapiro for cheering on the killing of Palestinian civilians, calling it evil, while Piers Morgan defended it (X link: SuppressedNws/status/1885475171667972426)
Tucker has gotten Matt Walsh to implicitly admit that Israel shouldn't exist, because it depends on the US for its existence: (X link: abierkhatib/status/1917775533355720801)
Tucker is a member of the isolationist wing of Republicans trying to prevent war with Iran, and has called out "Mossad agents and warmongers" for derailing the talks: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/trump-allies-say-mossad-agents-and-warmongers-trying-derail-iran-talks
Tucker hosted an interview with Thomas Massie where Massie revealed that every Republican Congressperson has an 'AIPAC babysitter' (X link: HotSpotHotSpot/status/1799169397510311993)
AIPAC is bipartisan, so I can be bipartisan too. I try to seek out and include conservative voices that are critical of Israel, and amplify the isolationist wing of the Republican party that opposes wars in the Middle East. I especially appreciate Tucker calling the killing of Palestinian civilians "evil".
Make no mistake, Tucker Carlson is an antisemite and an islamaphobe. He is not anti-israel for any humanitarian reason, he only cynically uses anti-israel talking points to push antisemitic conspiracy theories. He does not care about Palestinians or any other Muslim or arab, he considers them primitives. He should not be platformed in any respect. There is plenty of genuine critisism of Israel that's not based in antisemitic conspiracy theories, there is no need to promote Tucker Carlson is any respect.
Carlson called Iraqis “semiliterate primitive monkeys” in 2006 and argued that politicians should be more explicit about calling out “lunatic Muslims who are behaving like animals”.

He went on to say that Afghanistan would never “be a civilized country because the people aren’t civilized.”
During his time at Fox, Carlson was the leading voice in right-wing media promoting the racist, anti-semitic, “great replacement” conspiracy theory. Carlson repeatedly warned viewers that Democrats were “importing” new citizens “to replace the disobedient ones.” Carlson once likened the Biden administration’s immigration policy to “eugenics” against white people.
The Fox host was a staunch opponent of the Black Lives Matter movement, and often invoked racist tropes and stereotypes to justify violence and discrimination against Black Americans. On June 3, 2020, Carlson centered his monologue around a montage of unarmed Black Americans who were killed by police, laying out his reasoning as to why each victim deserved to have been killed.
It’s true that Palestinian Christians are suffering, though it’s largely because they are Palestinians rather than because they are Christians. Carlson’s message, however, does less to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinians than to pit Jews against Christians. In trying to excommunicate Carlson, conservatives are pretending that he’s changed — but he’s really the same guy he always has been.
The antisemitic and otherwise bigoted things he said on Fox were far worse than anything in the Isaac interview and received only a fraction of the internal right-wing condemnation.
Carlson is exploiting legitimate criticism of Israel to fan the flames of Christian antisemitism, which has become a growing problem on the right even as much public attention recently has focused on the left wing.

He is not anti-israel for any humanitarian reason, he only cynically uses anti-israel talking points to push antisemitic conspiracy theories.
I disagree. I think he's sincere when he calls killing children evil, and that's good. And I thought his interview with Munther Isaac was very important for breaking conservatives out of the "all Arabs are crazy Muslim and want to kill me" false belief, even if it did focus on the sufferings of the small minority of Palestinian Christians.
I don't agree with everything he's ever said or will say, he may say things I the future I have serious disagreements with. But I think the genocide in Gaza is the most pressing moral issue of our time, and am willing to build a big tent coalition to stop it and hold Israel responsible. I am also a big admirer of Hezbollah, who are very socially conservative, for what it's worth.
Tucker Carlson fundamentally considers white people superior to non-white people. His grievance is that the fascism is being overseas when the US can instead use those resources to do so against the non-whites within America. Tucker is conservative on social issues because he is a supremacist for the white Christian race. He's a domestic fascist, enthusiastic about mass deportations in the US.
This is completely separate from anti-colonialist resistance groups, who's conservatism is a reaction to colonialism. These groups, while fundamentalist, are not fascist. ISIS would be an example of a fundamentalist and fascist group.
There is no ally-ship with fascists of any variety
Carlson is critical of Islam and has hosted guests on his program that criticize Islam.[433][434] He has described the existence of an "Islamic cult" and an "Islamic problem", describing it as a threat to the United States.[433] He was critical of the Obama administration's terrorism policy, arguing that it should have considered Islam as a cause of terrorism.
In 2018, Carlson described the effects of mass immigration on the United States using the terms dirtier, poorer, and more divided[435][436] and said it "has badly hurt this country's natural landscape".[437] On another 2018 episode, Carlson criticized multiculturalism in the United States, skeptically asking "how, precisely, is diversity our strength?" and whether any other institutions benefitted from a lack of commonalities.[438][439] Talking about Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where Hispanics had quickly become a majority of the population, Carlson said it was "more change than human beings are designed to digest".[407] In May 2019 he said, "The flood of illegal workers into the United States has damaged our communities, ruined our schools, burdened our healthcare system and fractured our national unity."[386] In December 2019, he falsely claimed that immigrants were responsible for making the Potomac River "dirtier and dirtier".[440][441]
Didn't get catch this gem lol
Also note the handle contains a notorious genocider Stalin
Hmm
Theres now zionists modding world news.
Now? Always?
They just shill DNC talking points and are part of the kamala's camp.
It just so happens that Israel doing genocide is their shill talking points imho
Everyone gets banned from .world eventually. Friend, consider it an honor. And welcome to the .world-banned club. You've got lots of company here! :)
When I got banned there, not only did they celebrate my banning, they actually wrote a special post about banning me in the c/politics community (it's still there, people are free to look it up). All because I said I was gonna abandon the duopoly and vote third party.
And .worlders clapped and cheered the day I got banned, hoping that they had bullied me enough that I would leave Lemmy.
I'm still here. You will be too.
Brah, bail on .world now and find another instance to be your home. Because .worlders will start stalking you and serial downvoting you. You'll be a lot happier on the cooler, less censorship-y instances.
PTB!
Goddamn it. This community is nothing but posts about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and it's so fucking boring. Because you have the same users having the same fights in very post. RIP the Ye Power Trippin' Bastards community.
Maybe if mods stopped censoring the people calling out genocide it would happen less.
But instead mods have to be Zionists.
It has been common knowledge around here to avoid news and politics communities on Lemmy.world due to heavy censorship to benefit US regime talking points.
You did your tour, you earned your ban, now seed smaller communities where freedom of speech and discussion is welcome.
Usual [email protected] move
Oh look it's a PTB from PTB.world
You did nothing wrong. PTB
PTB. I read some of the comments and you are in the right imo (Even brought sources!). The other person was just both-siding the whole conflict and even went on some 4 comment long rant, thought at least they were banned.
I also found this comment; hilarious how they weren't banned, but somehow you were lol
Love the promotions :) Oh and it's [email protected] without the 'news'
Just checked that community; seems to be good. I've been avoiding world @ LW but this one seems interesting.
It's the one I usually recommend on similar posts here
Fixed, thank you for the the correction!
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
