quote:

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go frick yourself.”



I like Tucker but he was definitely squirming here. The Dutch guy doesn’t give a frick and says what he wants and I agree with him.

Tucker blew it in the first place by overreacting.

He doubled down with that follow-up tonight.

Take the L and move on.

Bregman has long been making the case for higher taxes, plus a raft of other measures to rethink the way the world works, including a shorter working week and a universal basic income.



Guy sounds like a moron.

I dunno man. He’s left leaning I guess but seems like a realist as well. On the Davos panel he was on where they were talking about inequality and social backlash and that kind of stuff he said quit talking about philanthropy because it’s bs. Philanthropy and Bono is feel good nothing bullshite and ultimately the only solution is to discuss taxes. To me that seems realistic and the right approach.

Damn, son.

Dude just goes on talking like he's not a mouthpiece for a different set of billionaires. He clearly has the globalist talking points written on his hand.

Dude loves AOC and you come here sucking his dick? Didn't know you were brain dead.

I’m not a cheerleader and don’t tow the line 100%. I voted Trump but I’m also able to think for myself and have my own opinions. It’s odd and scary I know but people like me are out there.
