      Tucker isn’t interviewing the people who live there, he’s interviewing the very concrete embodiment of the abstract concept of the Russian government that is absolutely our enemy. Tucker is himself a concrete representative of our common enemy, capital.

        Our enemy

        Don’t try to tell me who my enemy is nerd, I know who my enemy is. It’s the people who put these bizzare nationalist ideas in your head. You’re talking like a medieval serf would talk about a rival kingdom, when it’s our own aristocracy that’s menacing the entire world.

          LOL, it’s not nationalism to acknowledge that countries are a thing, or to acknowledge that there are indeed differences between them. I have no illusions that the US government is my friend, but I do see that I’m better off here than under Putin. There is a reason that a third of Russian males are alcoholics, and it’s not the quality of the vodka.
