    The fact you have 30 downvotes is horrifying. This community is nothing but a bunch of authoritarians who openly reject liberal ideals like free speech and democracy. They hate Putin so much because he reflects so many of their values.

      This is the strawmaniest strawman I’ve seen strawman. We don’t like this because it’s Tucker Carlson, notorious liar, hater of freedom for all, bigoted, and right-wing loser. And he’s interviewing a right-wing fascist world leader who hates freedom of speech, press, and gay people.

      So many people here, and most people on the left, firmly believe in the paradox of tolerance. We don’t tolerate intolerance. This interview is between two intolerant people who are promoting intolerance. Those freedoms that we hold dear no longer apply when the person exercising them infringes on our freedoms or democracy.

      So you can stop bending over backwards trying to twist this into something we should all be happy to give a platform to, it’s messed up.
