The most obvious points of conflict are over mass immigration: traditionalists oppose it because it changes the character of the nation, fiscal conservatives and neocons support it because it provides an underclass of foreign serfs and peasants to replace uppity American workers. We see the same conflict on the tariff vs. free trade (outsourcing) issue and between America-first vs. nation-building foreign policy.
I thought it was great monologue, and I agree with him.
Part of the reason this country has gone downhill is because of people whose only goal in life is to collect as much money as possible before they pass away. Consequently, just about everything we buy these days is cheap garbage and our quality of life has deteriorated a LOT in the last half century.
Now if we could only find two liberals intelligent enough to “spark a debate” on liberal politics. Right now all we’re getting is liberal retardism.
Globalist corporatism is what Tucker was talking about, not American capitalism.
Huh. I saw Tucker last night and his opening monologue sounded much like the one in this article. But he finished up with the fact that his monologue was sarcasm. Did Tucker give a monologue on Wednesday like this? Or did Vox just not add the ‘sarcasm tag’?
Years ago one Northern argument against slavery was that Southerners just wanted cheap labor now Southerners (more conservative now) argue that Northerners (libs and GOPe) want cheap labor via illegal immigration.
Capitalism will never go away. It is a natural state of business.
Socialism will always die under its own weight wherever it pops up.
The ‘elites’ of both systems are the ones that profit the most from it.
The capitalist system promotes class movement of your own making.
The socialist system locks you into a class and makes you a prisoner of it.........................
As a breakdown of party membership I'd say it is 90% to 10% "cultural" vs. "globalist". Globullists are a tiny fraction of the party but control all the power in the party. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
“Any economic system that weakens and destroys families is not worth having. A system like that is the enemy of a healthy society.”
As we see liberalism wreaking havoc on families and society.
It’s not capitalism that is the problem but rather globalism. Capitalists who are also Nationalists understand their responsibility towards “the people” and the nation.
The country needs a moral revolution. A market-based economy is a good thing. Private property is a good thing. But a society focused just on consumption of material goods is not a healthy society.
Left unsaid, is the old rule: ‘You can’t legislate morality.’
It has to come from somewhere other than government. In other words, good upbringing.
Elected “conservatives” have been far too concerned with giving the business community everything on their wish list over the past four decades. They have not paid nearly enough attention to cultural rot and decay.
Indeed, giving business absolutely EVERYTHING on their wish list is NOT good for the overall health of society.
One does not have to be a flaming Socialist to admit that.
Cultural conservatism is a dead issue right now, because the culture has moved so much, there is little left to conserve.
We need to ROLL BACK much of the changes. We need to be concerned about our own nation more than those who are not of our nation.
“Any economic system that weakens and destroys families is not worth having. A system like that is the enemy of a healthy society.”
Is he talking about feminism?
The way I’ve always viewed it is there are some people who work to achieve more than others. Consequently, they reap more. Are we supposed to penalize these people because they work harder or achieve more than others? I grew up in a lower-middle class family, and I worked my butt off to better myself and get to where I am now. I worked my life according to one axiom: you work the first 40 hrs a week for the company, and every hour you work after that is what gets you ahead. I personally take offense to whiners who say I’m a problem because I don’t feel like I should freely hand out the fruits of my labor to those who think they deserve it just because they take a breath every five seconds. In this world, you reap what you sow as long as you can keep the crows and weasels out of it.
By the way, Hannity is right when he says that when you start tightening the screws on the working wealthy, they start getting tighter with their money. Just look at how the Obama administration almost destroyed the private aviation industry.
Capitalism is a term owned by Marx and his followers. I never use the word. I prefer Free Market Economy.
in essence, an indictment of American capitalism. “
Capitalism is a tool. No more, no less.
It was about how corporations and government are working together to plow under the middle class, and leave them as just cogs in a nation that doesn’t belong to them anymore.
I will admit, it made me think
Tucker reflects the ignorance of America...like the democrats who have identified the wrong Targets...so has Tucker....(and so many other conservatives too)
For me, the deep state is real and few folks seem to understand who and what that means. (Actually it seems that they (the conservatives) don’t want to know the “Truth”.
This unwillingness will lead to the end of America as we know it....
