    I think Tucker was just trying to come up with some radical socialist boogeymen who're pro-Ukraine and Chapo was just the first name that came up (Despite the fact that they very much arent pro-ukraine lmao)

              Elon does it because he's genuinely unhappy and while striving to find some meaning in his pathetic worthless life he got caught in the content doomscroll trap that's designed to catch plebs

        tucker has a ton of a writers, which i think wrote this. cause i've seen a decent chunk of people who work for the show on weird corners of twitter before. i'm not of the opinion tucker is all that online, he is filthy rich and while i can think and say a lot about the guy he just doesn't really seem the type to be trolling weird niche leftist corners of the internet, but his dozens of writers do!

            I do think Tucker is a psyop

            He's an extremely popular talking head on Fox News, one of the biggest media companies with one of the biggest reaches in the world, which is known to be own by extremely right wing billionaires who have a powerful role in national and international politics.

            To be a psyop they'd have to be trying to be subtle. If Tucker is a psyop he's the nuclear bomb of psyops. He's the least subtle op that ever oped. He is literally, publicly the mouthpiece of the Christofascist Right.

            And while we're at it, back in 2016 Chapo was one of the biggest voices for the Sanders movement and the biggest podcast in the world, with a reach of hundreds of thousands of people. He's not exactly signaling about something niche or unknown.
