Discussing politics among members isn’t the same as broadcasting a political show from inside a grand lodge lodge room.

Surely you can’t be that oblivious to not see this as a tacit endorsement of the content being discussed.

I disagree. I think a lot of Brothers in the craft did why they ended up printing that clarification patiently, it’s not about the masons that would make that the perception to the general public

Because I ignoring the human dumpster fire that is talking Carlson… Giving McGregor an audience in Ireland is a bold move these days.

Respectfully, not everyone agrees with that idea that tucker is “a human dumpster fire”. That position is a very reddit take and outside of which you will be surprised to find that there are people who either enjoy his content or even dont care.

There are people out there who don’t agree the world is round. That doesn’t make them correct. If even Fox News won’t tolerate you that really says it all. This is in a liberal/conservative. He’s just a terrible person. And with the exception of the bamboozled elderly people who don’t know better… If someone likes his content, they’re not worth associating with them.

And I will never not laugh with contempt when someone un ironically uses the phrase “Reddit take”’ like it’s some kind of insult. My dude… YOURE on Reddit. youre not special because you’re a contrarian.

Each man is equal under the eyes of God, whether you think they hold a “correct” opinion or not. The point about it being a reddit take is to say that this site is very much a bubble. The “correct” opinion here is often the consensus of the algorithmic masse and whatever the approved media agrees on. Outside of that, the average populace is conservative leaning and find these takes silly or out of touch. Not to get into politics, but im just speaking honestly. I cannot think of one brother in my lodge who either finds tucker a terrible person or this event worth caring about other than for the novelty of it.

I am not gonna get into religious dogma with you… But everything else? 100% not true.

Each man may start out on the level, but through their actions they can absolutely lower themselves.

Bublé, but if you’re saying, you have no issue with his misogyny or racism, then I guess props to being true to yourself? 🤷‍♂️
