Even some people "on our side" do it. Its always annoyed me when Tim Pool goes on one of his "5-Gen Warfare" spergs and and says the right would never win because they would all just be banned from the internet and unable to communicate and then the media would say they are all terrorist and so they lose before it even starts.
Nevermind that this assumes the comm situation is entirely static (I can think of plenty of ways it stops, but usually on a "If we cant talk, no one talks" basis). It also assumes that the Right has NO way to communicate with each other beyond the internet.
Now I dont know if Tim has just never met an honest to god militia type (the sort who would actually be doing the heavy lifting in the possible throwdown), but from what I remember, those types barely trust PHONES, never mind the web. Hell, our comms can even be mobile, considering there is a guy near where I live who has an entire radio array built in the bed of his truck.
I think Tim pool has sat on a fence post so long he is now just a wind vane changing direction whenever the wind changes direction. Also he takes a ton of cues from the msm. Say the most extreme thing for a headline and get clicks.
Oh, I have very much moved into the "Tim Pool is a Dim Fool" school over the last few weeks. I was always able to kind of ignore his "I am the smart" attitude, but there were 2 breaking point for me.
First was how he spent the whole summer saying Republicans and Trump supporter were cowards not doing enough, only to then clutch his pearls every time they did something and say that they should only stay in their own area so Antifa doesnt show up. That this was also accompanied by him trying to talk up Antifa and make them out to just be populist lefties did not help.
The second was when he was telling people to stand up for themselves in their jobs, even if they get fired. When people pointed out that they have families to support and cant do that, he insinuated that that is cowardly and they should just leave their job, like he did (ignoring he is alone with no family). Meanwhile, he has rolled over for Youtube at every chance so he can keep making money. It finally hit me when he was talking about money and said something was "only" $1 Million. I dont know about him, but "only" $1 Million leaves me set for life.
For me it was a bit earlier that I started to dislike him. Some of which is no fault of his own since the first one was 10 minute videos for what could be explained in 3. And to be fair that’s YouTubes fault for making anything less than 10 minutes get burried. The other was when Adam left his podcast. It got to the point the only reason I was watching was for Adam’s commentary and him starting his own was enough for me to unsub

Agreed. I am still considering whether or not to go ahead and yeet Tim from my subscriptions, but I have absolutely been moving more toward Adam. There is just something about his boundless optimism that I find endearing, especially right now.
And along those lines, I also like that he doesnt just guzzle down the blackpills all day like Tim does and then makes his videos in such a way as to make sure everyone else is as miserable as he is. Adam actually talking about games or good news is absolutely a plus in my book.
On that note, figuring out how to cut back on Youtube as well. Probably cant entirely as some people I watch are still Youtube exclusive, but a lot of people I do like are on Odysee now so I will be looking into that.

TLDR: Tim Pool is a Dim Fool, and I get it now.
