Opinion Is Tim Pool a troll?

[HereticBD]

I think Sargon of Akkad does this. They should just say "Yeah, I'm conservative!"

I don't think Sargon attempts to hide his political affiliation, like Pool does. At this point, Pool calling himself a Liberal or Democrat is downright comical. Damn near all of his vids are right wing click bait.

I hate his phony victim complex more than anything. On the vids I watch for about two minutes before I get drowsy, he's usually got some point in there about Youtube potentially deplatforming him for being such a truth telling rebel. He's almost like those stereotypical conspiracy nuts saying "The powers that be don't want you to know what I'm about to tell you!", only he's just talking about readily available news.

Dude is a clown.

I don’t know much about him. Is there a chance he started making 4 anti-left videos a day when he realized there was actually an audience willing to watch 4 anti-left videos from him per day?

I know that if I had a Youtube with the sole purpose of making money, my target audience would be the right-wing commenter industry. There seems to be an endless demand for it.

As opposed to the left wing talking head market, like say an entire news network like TYT?

This ain't a one side is worse than the other deal. There are just as many left wing Youtubers grifting along, as there are right wing ones.

He did vote for Obama and openly admitted it. Someone not agreeing with every liberal viewpoint does not make him or her a conservative.

No. It makes them...










A Nazi.

 

[MicroBrew]

Never heard of this guy.
I don't put much stock in YouTube political pundits, barring a few exceptions.

Far too many YouTubers are just like Instagrammers, i.e. they are all about self-promotion , clicks and subscriptions.

Love all the leftists wearing tinfoil in this thread. "He's a secret agent!" Follow them into some other thread and watch them hypocritically whine about conspiracy theories from right-wing sources. It's sport you don't have to pay for, and that you couldn't buy if you wanted to. Delicious.

After all, Democrats have their own Presidential candidates tripping over themselves to prove how anti-Obama they are in the debates, and yet they act surprised that a guy who voted for Obama might find today's left distasteful?? Those are some Demi Rose thick bifocals.

In truth, guess what? Tim Poole is the norm, not you. The moronic far-left that infects Sherdog deludes themselves into believing they represent the liberal majority. All they represent is the perpetual tantrum that imploded the 2016 Convention, and resulted in a schism from which Trump was able to summit the White House. This far-left fringe is emboldened because it has taken hold of the MSM, thanks to TDS, largely, and so they swallow all the crap about Joe Biden being a racist old white man who has no real support blah blah blah.

Of course, anyone who can read a poll realizes that Biden is more popular with African-Americans than any candidate in the field, and also by far the most popular Democrat. But this infantile wing of ideologues subsists on the "my way or the highway" mentality. Thankfully, they're a serial minority.

The whole "I'm a lefty that doesn't like the left" thing is the most obvious self promotion gimmick going around right now.

But imagine you were a traditional liberal in the mold of Clinton and Ted Kennedy and witnessing the craziness going on with the squad and Bernie and Pocahontas and the identity politics and pushing open borders and 35 year old pedos into girls change rooms and the whole thing?

How could anyone be all on board with that?

 

[trident]

I get the feeling this guy eats Adderall like tic tacs

 

[Happy Man]

He is a “classical liberal”.

The funniest thing said about time pool is that he’s is “concern troll”. His videos sre full of concern about things going to hell. Which they are.

I like Tim pool. Very well spoken.

 

[deadshot138]

I think at this point he’s just mentally ill. Literally makes a video about everything and anything.

That's just the nature of the beast on Youtube though. He can pump out videos constantly because of how basic his format is, and if you're getting 300,000+ views per vid, that's what you do if you're able. His format requires very little editing, which allows him to just keep pumping them out. Every Youtuber would love to be able to draw in viewers with no effort like that. He's literally just clicking around filming himself talking about headlines and tweets.

Dude is a clown, but more power to him for maximizing his content with such a lazy format.

 

[leto1776]

Only on Sherdog (and twitter) does disagreeing with far left policy and behavior make someone a conservative. Tim was a Bernie bro.

 

[Teppodama]

No true liberal Scotsman...

Very similar to TheQuartering. If people click, why not keep making content I guess.

 

[Cirris]

Honestly, IT could be a bit of both, Tim pool catering to a conservative viewership, but also pointing out the ridiculousness of the left.

I honestly think Tim Poole is a half and half, Libertarian in some regards, and socialist in others.

And lets be honest, It's not like you don't have outlets you can go to if you're a full-bloom progressive.

-------------------------------------------

But lately, the only person i think is STILL a full leftist, while constantly criticizing leftists is Jimmy Dore.

As for the rest, i think their political compass is changing, they just aren't self-aware enough to notice it.

 

[Mcountry]

This guy’s videos are sometimes in my YouTube feed. He is always posting videos slamming Democrats, Antifa and looney leftists, He posts these videos multiple times a day, just for example ...



Yet, despite all of these videos, he still says that he is going to vote for democrats.

I’ve noticed a lot of the comments on his videos call him out on that and accuse him of cognitive dissonance.

I don’t know what to make of this guy. He spends all day, every day slamming leftists, yet is still voting left ... lol

He, like everyone else...wants the left to get their shit back in order. Peirs Morgan had a great interview on Ben Shapiro the other day and I found myself wanting to high five Peirs for actually tell it like it is.

Give it a listen, Morgan does a great job summing up the problem with left wing politics today. Which should help explain Tim Pool to you.

Reminds me of this old Chris D'Elia bit.

 

[lilelvis]

He's a grifter.. just like Dave Rubin, Steven Crowder, Tomi Lahren and the rest. They are cashing in on this brief period of conservative outrage..

Once endlessly whinging about sjws and feminists gets stale (it already is) and Trump is no longer president, their relevance and popularity will quickly evaporate

It's a survival tactic in a world where being labelled conservative can end your career.

Yea there really is no other logical explanation. They'll just find a reason to de-platform him if he says he's a Trump supporter.

@MAD Mick has talked about this before. Even a lot of the leftie posters here aren't as far left as they pretend in the War Room. You see them post in other forums and they're just regular dudes making the same jokes and comments as everyone else.

But for some reason, when it comes to politics, they project an image of being further left.

It's about fitting in.
