      I'm seeing this take a lot. It's false, and importantly so. A peddler of some bullshit who believes in it is different from a peddler of some bullshit who doesn't. They represent different kinds of problems that need to be addressed in very different ways.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1408609777492664320 …

      Sure, but that's like saying, "We have no proof the CEO of McDonald's is a meat-eater. He could be a vegan. He just structures his restaurant to maximize the amount of meat sold." It's technically true but avoids the point. A peddler of white nationalism is a white nationalist

      I don't see how they are so different and the only way we can know if they are different is if we can read into people's souls. Which we can't. So we have to judge by actions.

      This is such a strange position to me. You don't have to do anything so mystical as "reading into people's souls" to distinguish between con artists and true believers. And to suggest the distinction between the two is irrelevant? I honestly don't get it.

      It wouldn't be such a big deal except for the fact that provoking this take is *actually part of Carlson's game*. His grift—unlike that of a genuine white nationalist—is to get a bunch of people who like him but aren't white nationalists to get pissed when people call him that!

      The only response to that is something like, "Well, actually anyone who even *likes* Carlson is ALSO a white nationalist." At which point, ok if you want to make that argument. I think it's flatly false and dilutes the meaning of white nationalist to meaninglessness. Also bad!

      I didn't say everyone who like Carlson is a white nationalist. I said that Carlson is peddling white nationalism -- taking white nationalist themes & repackaging them to be more mainstream. If that's true, then whether he's sincere or cynical is irrelevant.

          We've come full circle. What you tweeted is a paraphrase of what *I* tweeted in the OP. It's a good description of him! And, importantly, it doesn't play into his grift of radicalizing milquetoast conservatives who get rage-boners when people call him a white nationalist.pic.twitter.com/swPOdk1UKF
