Hannity is extremely stupid. That cannot be overstated. He is also disconnected from reality. All these rich boomers are basically disconnected from reality. The left wing rich boomer set is still going on about "It's the corporations man" while they slavishly fall in line to what the corporate media tells them what their opinion in, though, they have nagging suspicions that they're being played. The left wing boomer won't admit that publicly though, but he/she will say to their significant other some of their concerns. Maybe it's "The tranny thing is going a little far" or "I think these blacks burning buildings may not be the best idea".

The "Conservative" rich disconnected boomer basically just regurgitates Con Inc talking points from the Reagan Era and whatever Rush said that day. They like Tucker, but prefer Hannity, because Hannity makes them happier. His dumb unrelenting attack on their enemies packaged in the ideological Conservative mantra they're comfortable with soothes them in the same way an old man watching the Andy Griffith show with his grandchildren soothes him. They don't have to worry about the complicated intricacies of things like, "What should they personally do to fight the unbelievably powerful technocratic medical tyranny that's being foisted on a country they thought would basically stay the same as they aged, but has turned into a ruined nightmare.

At their homes, with Hannity on the big screen, life can feel like 1999 again when everything was normal.

The reason everyone likes likes Tucker is because Tucker is dealing with reality. Reality has nothing to do with Margarat Sanger or how idiotic and pathetic Cory Booker and Nancy Pelosi are. Reality is economic ruin likely within 5 years. Reality is a feral and murderous black population being allowed and encouraged to wreak mayhem. Reality is we are still wearing these stupid masks. Reality is Bill Gates wants to inject you with a mystery juice that could destroy the entire species. Reality is the rollout of "Contact Tracers" with government power to take your kids. Reality is weapons being shipped to communist revolutionaries in the Cities. Reality is Dem governors ruining their state finances on purpose even worse than they already were seemingly in the know that an imminent happening will occur soon that will make their petty tyranny pale in comparison.

Reality is netflix and take home…but for those with eyes to see, extreme problems to deal with soon.

Tucker is stepping up to address these issues. Hannity is regurgitating bullshit from the last 30 years.

The thing that is happening here is that Sean Hannity is ideological, so he has an agenda to always defend businesspeople no matter how destructive and evil they are.

The difference between Tucker and Sean is notable in that it is the pure difference between ideological and not ideological. Tucker is concerned about the practical and real world effects of behaviors and actions, whereas Sean believes that we can create a utopia by following specific rules.

We could of course break down why it is stupid to believe that Amazon should be treated the same as a small business, but that is something that I think the reader understands, and it is more interesting to talk about the concept of ideology itself, which leads to the idiot belief that there is no real difference between Amazon and a mom and pop book store.

What we can all notice is that Tucker is much smarter than Sean. That is consistent with this difference in orientation. Ideology is always something promoted by relatively stupid people, because they do not like to think about complexity. They do not like to imagine that because things change, and because different people have different agendas, that different actions have different outcomes, that we must consider a complex array of factors in deciding what is best for the people, what is best for the country.

Sean Hannity would no doubt say that if we regulated massive monopoly businesses like Amazon, that would mean that we would also have to regulate small businesses, because we have to have extreme rules that can be applied to every situation in exactly the same way. A lack of regulation benefits small businesses, so that means we must not regulate massive monopoly corporations. Of course, if the massive monopolies destroy all the small businesses, that’s unfortunate, but if we just keep following the ideology, eventually it will all work itself out somehow. Anyone who thinks it’s more complicated than this must be a socialist.

Of course, the right didn’t always think this way. The reason that the right didn’t always think this way is that the people who were in charge of the right were more intelligent. They could say: “yes, of course small businesses are good, but a multi-billion dollar monopoly that crushes all small businesses is not the same thing as a small business and the government has to treat it differently in terms of regulation.”

On the other side of the ideological spectrum, you have people who recognize that monopolies need to be regulated, but then say that also, small businesses should be forced to pay huge taxes, engage in carbon-trading and provide free abortions to employees.

The only people who are going to be able to actually manage a system are people who reject the concept of ideology completely, and say that decisions must be made based on what is best for the people and the society. These people are rare, because ideology has largely taken over our society. Even fringe groups talk about, “oh no – it is our ideology that will save the day.”

Probably, the reason that ideology is now king of discourse is that the society has become so complex that people feel they need to retreat from dealing with reality into a realm of absolute ideas. There is a safety there in the ideas, where they can believe that they are able to manage the complexity of modern society simply through ensuring that everything fits into a neat box.

The modern concept of ideology was invented by Karl Marx, and that any form of ideology, being necessarily utopian, is a variation of Marxism. Marxism was the first utopian political philosophy, and all of these things that have come after, including modern American conservatism, have followed Marxism in that followers are on a quest for utopia through the perfect application of a perfect system of ideas.

What is incredible is that Sean Hannity would no doubt say, “my ideology is freedom,” even though this is such an obvious oxymoron. Freedom cannot be an ideology, as an ideology is necessarily opposed to freedom, in that it requires slavish service to a system of ideas.

Aside from the nature of the disagreement between Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, and the fact that this must have been a long-running frustration for Sean as he watched Tucker present violations of the agreed-upon ideology of the conservative movement over the years, is the rudeness of what he did. If Sean wanted to present an argument against Tucker, he should have asked Tucker to leave time at the end of the show for a back and forth. What he did was shove it in when Tucker was going off air, so Tucker had no chance to respond. This was incredibly inappropriate.

Apparently, Sean quickly heard about how inappropriate people believed it was, because within 20 minutes of going off air on Tuesday night, he had posted a tweet saying he didn’t do what you thought he did.

Sean played it off like he was actually agreeing, though I don’t think anyone who watched that clip could get that impression. Sean was defending Amazon and Jeff Bezos, because he is an ideological believer in a totally unregulated market, and believes that monopoly corporations abusing the population is something that can be fixed through more deregulation.

It is also notable that Tucker has been beating Sean’s ratings since April. Tucker is now the most popular cable news show on television, and in fact, the most popular cable news show in all of history. So that could potentially factor into what is going on here. Sean not only disagrees with Tucker, but now, even though Sean has the better time spot, the people are making it clear that they agree with Tucker over him.
