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.

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. :)

Thanks for the synopsis.

It was some random Asian guy whom the algorithm suggested whom I'm not subscribed to.

it seems to me that probability is high Tim is a intelligence agency asset

actually, anyone still on youtube is at the very least a tacit collaborator. probably receiving anonymous donations from establishment money streams
