Tim Pool is a man that preaches standing up yourself and your community, then whines that it causes bad optic for your side when you march and get mad. He is a man who says 'shame on you, Portland men, for making it so that some random old woman has to stand up to a violent mob by herself,' and when the Proud Boys arrive and cause a ruckus, suddenly that's nonconstructive and a waste of time. He demands that the citizens of America's cities stand and fight against the woke mobs rioting in the streets, infiltrating school systems and plundering small businesses and multinational corporations from the inside out, but takes all his youtube money and F's off to the mountains somewhere, fleeing his own city in the process. It only took one year for him to go from 'no guns in my house ever' to 'Shall Not Be Infringed.' Life comes at ya fast, eh?
His fence-sitting has gone from something I shook my head at, to something for which I damn him great suffering and miserable life. Tim strikes me as a conniving snake, eager to take the path of least resistance, uninterested in having his viewpoints truly challenged, whose head grows fatter and fatter with each passing month as Enlightened Centrists continue to throw him $20 and $50 for whatever Based Guest is on his talkshow today, who he interrupts constantly to reassert his worldview.
All the while he shies away from broaching anything truly controversial because he knows the moment youtube decides that he's crossed a line too far, his business will collapse. He takes a 10 minute video, and pumps it up to 20-30 minutes by adding in unnecessary anecdotes about his life and career, and repeats himself at least 3-4 times by the end of it. I really liked Tim a year or two ago, but at this point I just find him grating. I just don't know what he offers me now that I need to watch him to learn or understand.
Seconded. I was already starting to sour on him for his chronic blackpill doomering (more on that in a minute), but I think the moment that really hit me was when we finally saw the much fabled Beanie Compound.
For a guy who talks about how money is meaningless and he would be fine living in a van down by the river, homeboy seems to be living EXTREMELY high on the hog. We are talking, an actual, honest to god mansion. And when I saw where it was located because of the info on the forum for Small Bird Ranchers, I realized that for all of his talk about being "out in the mountains", he is still within spitting distance of DC, which is FAR from isolated. "Leave your homes because they are on fire, and run to the mountains!" he says, from a million dollar mansion.
And of course, there is the blackpilled doomering he engages in, where he just seems bound and determined to be a miserable bastard at any cost. It hit me when he had Michael Malice on last time. Michael was doing his usual Malice-ism about how "if they were winning, the propaganda would not be necessary", how he is extremely whitepilled about the future, that this pain we are in is temporary and people will absolutely revolt against it, that with each passing day more people decide they dont want it, all of that stuff. And yet, the whole time Tim could do nothing but say "your wrong." Never said how, never said how to fix it, never even entertained Malice's point. Just "Your wrong. We're doomed." And then I thought to when Tim was always talking about how Journos want you depressed, angry, scared, or some combination of the three. And I looked at his desperate attempt to remain the Eeyore in the face of positive news, and all I can think is "How are you any different Tim?"
This is why I have started moving toward his old cohost Adam Crigler. At least he is upbeat, offers up positive news in addition to the usual stuff, and seems to truly believe that America (and humanities) best days are ahead of us.
