When Tucker Carlson refers to an “opposition figure” imprisoned during WWII by Winston Churchill, he’s talking about Oswald Mosley and his organization, the British Union of Fascists - which is not just some generic political opposition, but an explicitly Fascist movement operating in alignment with the broader authoritarian currents of that era.
Mosley was aligned with Adolf Hitler and even had Hitler as a guest of honor at his second wedding in 1936, highlighting their close, friendly, and ideological ties during the 1930s.
“The Fascist principle is private freedom and public service. That imposes upon us, in our public life, and in our attitude towards other men, a certain discipline and a certain restraint; but in our public life alone; and I should argue very strongly indeed that the only way to have private freedom was by a public organisation which brought some order out of the economic chaos which exists in the world today, and that such public organisation can only be secured by the methods of authority and of discipline which are inherent in Fascism.”
― Oswald Mosley, Fascist Voices: Essays from the'Fascist Quarterly' 1936-1940 - Vol 1
At the very least, Tucker Carlson is using a fertile fallacy to create an op of reflexivity - a feedback loop of deconstruction and lies meant to denigrate the U.S. & U.K. victory over Nazi Germany.
At the very worst, Tucker Carlson is continuing to promote Fascism as a worthy alternative political ideology in the United States of America.
An alternative political ideology that shatter the United States into pieces.
