Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson etc are symptoms of the problem

Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and their orbit are a problem — but don’t mistake them for the cause. They rose because a sizable slice of the far Right is primed for conspiracy thinking and Jew-hatred. These are the people flooding my comments since 2020: the “Plandemic” crowd convinced of decades-long Great Reset plots and depopulation schemes, the no-such-thing-as-viruses crowd, the Darwin-was-a-psyop geniuses — and in every yarn-board theory the arrows somehow land on Israel or the Jews. Then 10/7 became a Jewish psyop. Now the Iranian freedom movement is, too. Candace and Tucker didn’t create this; they monetize it. They are symptoms of an existing sickness. And for the record, I’ve received more naked hate from the Woke Right than from the Woke Left I regularly eviscerate, or from Islamists I openly oppose.
