Honest question: Why is everybody so piqued about the Trump/Kanye/Fuentes/Tim Pool thing?
posted 3 years ago by xleb2 3 years ago by xleb2 +36 / -0

I give no shits about who Trump lets into his house for dinner - his house his business. How did beanie boy insert himself into the drama?

Why is everybody talking about this? Enlighten me.

Most of the outrage is performative, as per usual.

I find it funny that Kanye feels like he got fucked over by a cabal of Jews, and almost immediately sidled up to a Jew who is notorious for liking black dick (Yiannnopoulos). The gay catboi (Fuentes) was, perhaps, a means to an end.

I'm curious if Kanye thinks it's "The Jews" or "Some Specific Jews". Him cozying up to Trump suggests the latter given Trump's support of Israel.

It's a mechanism to slander Trump and erode his support.

Other than that, the entire thing is a full on nothing burger.

Thing is, I seem has engaging in option 2, not 4.

I get really annoyed at the argument that we should stop talking about voting integrity, since the problem isn't stopping. At the very least, we need to publicly make these crimes transparent, and expose them enough to adapt.

We have seen places start to clean up their voting mechanisms, that's good. We've also seen that getting the ballot harverster's meta-data on their cellphones was legal, do-able, and caused a fucking panic. That's going to force them to change strategy. We don't have issues of poll watches being forced out by the police and being removed, that's an indication of a change of strategy.

I'd like to see some implementations of countering-fraud that don't involve the co-operation of criminal counties. For example: refusing to release the results until all counties have finished reporting in that they've finished their counts (that way the fraudulent counties don't know what numbers they have to get to).

But instead, I get a whole shit load of "Stop being a big baby about voting integrity. That's some 2020 nonsense. Move on."

I'm not saying to make it a wedge issue. It shouldn't be a wedge issue, 100% of Republicans should understand it's a problem. What I'm saying is that we can't just say "hur dur Trump dismissed cases, therefore Maricopa perfect" like Heretic is basically saying, which I see all the time. And we also have to be able to implement anti-fraud strategies that don't require the co-operation of our enemies.

It's not about arresting anyone. No one was gonna get arrested. Check that, they did arrest someone. They arrested the people whom D'nesh worked with whom refused to identify their sources.

That is the level of structural resistance we are talking about here. That's what actually documenting the criminality gets you in response. Trump isn't in government, so he can't actually pass anything.

Instead, we have to focus on tearing up the Republican primaries, getting populists nominated, trying to get the populists into positions of power, then changing the voting laws in order to start fixing it. In many states, parts of that have been done, and some laws have been changed.

Turning around and shitting on Trump for that really doesn't make any sense. It's like Ann Coulter's crazy "Trump never built the wall" nonsense, when he had to deal with it being intentionally stalled for months then she rejected the wall was built when it was.

You need to have a reasonable expectation.

I've been noticing this on here recently too There seems to be a concerted effort to undermine him and split the vote between him and Desantis for 2024.

Don't get me wrong, I like Desantis more than Trump, but I don't think it's a good idea for him to leave Florida yet.

I'd rather secure the states than have an unsupported executive again that can be undermined at every turn.

Of course, the real purpose is to destroy both. Not just Trump.

Tim pool had ye on, said "they were against [Ye]." Ye asked rhetorically "who's 'they' though?" Tim says "the corporate press" and avoids getting into da j00z when everyone knows that's what Ye meant. Some back and forth, Nick tried to talk about MLK and Ye & co. walk out 20 minutes into Tim's show starting.

Very underwhelming compared to all the twitter and youtube reactions.

More interesting to me is this happens right when Adam Crigler does a live stream on why he left Timcast (complete with Tim popping up in the chat at the very end); Tim's weekend livestream reacting to Adam's; and Tim's sister dropping a video yesterday about Tim.

What was Tim's sister's video about?

I watched a 10 min YT summary of Adam Crigler's 7 hour tell-all stream yesterday and it seemed like a real nothingburger.

Some fighting over money with Tim trying to cut Adam's royalties. Allegations of Tim screaming at employees. Adam thinking Lydia was incompetent and trying to sleep with Tim.

I don't know what summary youtuber you watched but I'd avoid them if they missed Adam's point by that much. Only the first two hours of the stream were Adam telling his story by the way. The rest was reading chat.

A better summary would be "I no longer consider Tim a friend. He's an egotistical, lying ass who probably doesn't have any real friends, was corrupted by money, uses that money to keep people in his 'cult', and absolutely doesn't want anyone upstaging him. We had an agreement that I would get a straight cut of profits, but then we got too popular and he said it would be difficult to outright give me that much money. I liked Lydia at first and thought she was great. It was my idea to put her on camera and get her to speak more even though Tim always has to be the center of attention. Lydia turned out to be a bitch whore who tried to destroy our friendship and turn Tim against me."

I'm not saying all that is true, I'm saying it's a better summary than your version which sounds like how Tim would describe it. :)

Because who they could replace are so mind numbingly dull, dumb and act like drones that this is more entertaining to watch and discuss.

Is anybody here a fan of Fuentes? I've read parts of his thread on Kiwi Farms and I don't get who the groypers are, or why he is popular.

A seemingly closeted religious incel who talks about catboys? What?

Zero fucks. I unsubscribe from Pool's youtube channels a while ago. PocketCast still downloads his audio stuff but I'll most likely just bahlete them after listening to the first minute or so. He pretty much takes a 30 second story and stretches it out to a very tedious 20 minutes these days.

The only thing good about Trump these days is that he still rattles the progressive's cage. Other than that I could care less. Less than zero fucks for anything involving "Ye".

Kanye is living out his own fantasy world of becoming a political figure/presidential candidate, based on his own half-arsed impressions of how the right-wing media circus/political circuit on the internet works and he's wondering why it isn't working.

He wanted Lex Friedman to come to his aid in the Jewish question, and was obviously expecting more of him, but that didn't pan out because Friedman is just a podcast host/AI researcher with delusions of grandeur. He got rejected by the Daily Wire, because Ben Shapiro is a canny and cynical political operative and didn't want his pulpit tarnished. Tim Pool was a pit stop on the political circuit that he must have realized it would fail as soon as he sat down.

Fuentes and Milo are tagging along, because Kanye is their ride to fame and attention. Kanye is probably scratching his head why using Jewish Milo isn't helping redress the antisemitism thing. "Look he's Jewish!" :')

Kanye is trying to do everything himself, whereas Trump hired the right people.

Okay but why do you point out Milo (who has converted to Catholicism) was born to a jewish mother but you don't explicitly point out Ben Shapiro or Lex Friedman are jewish? Furthermore one of the largest criticisms of Trump right now is that he didn't hire "the right people" while he was president. He seemed to go out of his way to hire the very neocons who did everything they could to sabotage him in 2016 and avoid hiring people who would be loyal to him.

And Ben Shapiro is obvious, lol.

And Trump hired the right people, because they got him into office, in one of the greatest upsets in recent American history. What he did later, while in office, was another question.
