This interview is well worth watching for several reasons, but the most important one is that it’s a classic two-dimensional example of opinion engineering. The outer dimension, which is in plain view, is interesting and mildly controversial but of no serious news value or long-term consequence. It serves mostly as bait that covers the hook. The inner dimension is where the action is but it can be seen only through the x-ray lens of analysis and is of great consequence for the survival of freedom in America.

The outer dimension involves whether the opinions of Nick Fuentes, the controversial guest being interviewed, are acceptable or unacceptable for public debate – the deciding factor being whether or not they are anti-Semitic. The hidden dimension involves whether an “America-First” policy in government is virtuous or treasonous.

It may seem that America First is obviously virtuous for Americans because it is the essence of patriotism. But what is the correct definition of patriotism? Some will say that it is an attitude expressed by the saying: “My country, right or wrong,” which means support of one’s government regardless of its actions. By this definition, the German civilians who supported the Nazi regime were virtuous patriots. My personal view is that opposition to corruption in government is the highest obligation of patriotism, so please note carefully that when Fuentes calls for martial law in the name of America first, he is advocating the cancelation of basic freedoms for us as well as the rioters, a condition that possibly could remain indefinitely. Also notice that his first solution to shutting down the mob is military force, not rounding up the leaders and funders of the organizations that deliver the violence. Take away their leaders, their paychecks and their buses, and the big show will cease. That course of action is not considered in this interview.

Nick Fuentes has much to say with which we can agree, but please notice that his call to action is brute force and violence – exactly what our enemies want to happen. Unfortunately, Tucker Carlson never asks him to elaborate on his statement that he was a big fan of Stalin. I guess he just didn’t recognize the inner dimension of this message. ~~ GEG
