American conservative pundit Tucker Carlson on Tuesday
released an interview with Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin,
who criticized "Anglo-Saxon" individualism and warned that Western
liberal ideas would bring about the loss of "human identity."
In the 20-minute conversation with Carlson, who is known for
spreading far-right conspiracy theories, Dugin argued that
liberalism frees people from "any kind of collective identity."
"That has led to transgender [people], to
LGBT and new form[s] of sexual individualism.
So, sex is something optional," he said,
calling LGBTQ+ lifestyles "not a deviation, but a necessary
element of implementation and the victory of this liberal
ideology."
Sometimes referred to in Western media as
"Putin's brain" or "Putin's Rasputin," the 62-year-old Dugin is an
outspoken supporter of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as
well as President Vladimir Putin's domestic policies that aim
to promote "traditional" values.
However, the philosopher has no official ties to
the Kremlin and his influence over the Russian leader is subject to
debate.
According to Dugin, the final step,
"in this process of liberalism will mean
precisely the human optional: so you can choose your individual
identity to be human [or] not be human."
"That has a name:
transhumanism, post-humanism,
singularity, artificial intelligence," he said.
At the same time, Dugin described Putin as a,
"traditional leader" who "contradicts the
global progressivist agenda" and defends traditional values.
"Observers from the progressive camp in the
West have understood that from the beginning of his rule
correctly, so this hatred [toward Putin] is not just something
casual," he said.
"Someone with nuclear weapons to stand strong
defending traditional values you're going to abolish, I think
they have some basis for this Russophobia and the hatred for
Putin."
During the interview, which was said to have been
filmed earlier this year in Moscow, Carlson claimed that the
Biden Administration banned Dugin's books inside the United
States because his "ideas are too dangerous."
While Washington did sanction the Russian
philosopher in 2015 over his involvement in the Ukraine conflict,
these restrictions do not ban the publication and sale of his books.
Dugin is the third Russian figure to be interviewed by Carlson in
recent episodes of his online news show following Putin and tech
entrepreneur Pavel Durov.
In August 2022, Dugin's daughter was killed in a car bomb attack
that the Russian authorities blamed on Kyiv (Kiev).
