Tim Pool always claimed to be leftwing. Its hard to find someone remotely "leftwing" that agrees with him. That and he obviously has zero leftwing impulse and ideology if you are at all familiar with political subjects on a substantive level. So lots of right-leaning people like him I guess.

I tend to think hes a grifter. I was never able to find the funding for him -- or the reason he showed up on anyones youtube list. The dude is kind of boring -- its not really believable he got on the same list playlist with Rogean (celebrity before he started) and Rising (now breaking points, was propped up by "the Hill" corporate media). Who the hell as a boring nobody gets a fucking interview on Rogean with Jack Dorsy?

That is weird. What does he want to talk with Dorsey about? Well censoring conservatives of course. And unlike someone like Glen Greenwald*, he really does broach the subject with him Fox news style. Like there is two ideologies and one is being suppressed.

So he doesn't look good during the interview because he starts to get along with Dorsey. People are always surprised when famous powerful people turn out to be pretty apt socially.

Pool doesn't like it so he starts making evidence free claims about massive death threats repeatedly ignored by twitter. He can't give us the evidence because "then he would be gulty of doing the same thing he's complaining about."

We all know how conservatives are very sensitive to the charge of hypocrisy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. But its mighty convenient that such an outrageous story cant be verified. If you wanted to get Dorsey -- ask him a lot more about why celebrities and other elites are constantly receiving special treatment -- and those that agitate these groups are often thoughtlessly enforced.

This is what happened to Facebook. Someone found out what a lot of us always knew -- Obviously there is a special line for the elites. They don't get stupid blunt instrument bans based on keywords and the algorithm. Its also obvious (not proven in facebook yet) that some of these crazy bans like the hunter biden story, they simply take direction from the mainstream media and ban people they dislike in order to avoid their ire. The MSM also used congress to bully these companies into actively suppressing rival news, while promoting CNN/ABC/MSNBC and making concessions to Fox.

* a very obvious pick if Rogean wanted a serious interview about this.

I just don't buy it. "ahhh yea dude just here with my camera and people started calling me a journalist! as like a 30 year old guy into politics, never occurred to me that's what it was!"

And he was just that damn good. He wansn't even focused on money. Just telling us all how it really is. Damn.

I’ll start by saying Tim Pool has some faults. However, in regards to being moderate, he is pro-police reform, which is a left wing position. He is anti-war which USED to be a left wing position. He is anti-capital punishment, a left wing position. He is very libertarian about drugs and other things, basically taking an approach of adults should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn’t intrude on my rights. That is not a right-wing position, the harder to the right you go, the less “adults should be free to do what they want” attitudes you are going to see, ESPECIALLY in regards to illegal drug use and sexuality. Far right positions go as far as saying all pornography on the internet and anything explicit on tv should be banned, all LGBT behaviors and unions are deviant behaviors, etc. So a libertarian position is a moderate position, definitely not a far right position

Tim Pool makes millions and millions of dollars, employs probably at least a dozen if not more people under him, and doesn’t even have a high school diploma. He dropped out of high school. A (rare) example of how to be successful without a lot of formal education

Now for the faults: he is one of the worst sensationalists on the internet. He catastrophizes everything and he’s getting worse as time goes on. He’s basically on an Alex Jones level now, constantly repeating that things like the collapse of America and civil war are imminent, etc. He rambles on and on in order for his videos to hit the 20 minute mark for the algorithm to put them in a different category, either for monetization or total-views purposes. He has a decent knowledge of politics, and while his movie analogies are cute and sometimes clever, he definitely makes too many movie or video game analogies to be taken too seriously as a political commentator

Overall, for someone without even a high school degree, even with his faults, he has a decent surface level understanding of more total things than the average person it seems

I subscribe to his channel but listen to it less and less as he becomes more of a sensationalist

[JurisDictum]

As you can see -- the conservatives are always the one defensive about him. And the liberals are always the ones calling him a fraud.

That other stuff shows he wants to make money. That's not wrong or anything. But its the kind of thing I look at when determining "is this guy saying this shit for views and fanbase, or does he believe it."

He, at very least, is misleading about being left. But I just want to call it before it turns out hes connected to some billionaire going way back.
