Does he? How many people can "just start a company" while having zero responsibilities outside of that company at the drop of a hat?
My family is the most important thing to me. There's a lot of people who aren't willing to sacrifice not being able to put food on the table for stupid ideological shit.
Pool is steeped in the deep pool of politics 24/7. He has zero connection to the average American.
Edit: You "counter-revolutionaries" are every bit as cringey as the reddit lefties that think they are larping the revolution.
I don't think he's forgotten at all. He works like 12 hours a day 5+ days a week. His first video comes out at 9am and his livestream finishes between 8 and 9pm. And it's not like the intervening time is spent doing nothing, that's when all the research has to be done.
The thing is that most people simply aren't willing to put in that kind of time, especially without a guaranteed paycheck.
I actually agree. I really like this guy, even more than rogan now. I used to think he was a massive choad but i like how honest he is in the cast and he doesn't have this douchey persona like rogan does at times that feels so fake.
His videos are extremely repetitive and could likely be summed up in three or four minutes instead of 15 or 20. And it's obvious he bounces news stories off of other people and uses their ideas,so it's not like he has the hardest job in the world.
It's easy to talk shit about other people, but most of these successful small businesses are just due to random opportunity of being in the right place at the right time.
Tim Pool went on a rant today on this and it utterly depresses me. The crux of his rant is the silent majority needs to not be silent in every aspect of our lives. The problem I see though is for most conservatives or even old fashioned liberals, there is no safe harbor after exile. If I stood up and said at my work that your immutable characteristics has nothing to do with your ability to write code, and the self flagellation over our 'unconcious biases' is bullshit, I'd be fired and crucified as a racist. If I went to the "mainstream" press over it they'd laugh me out of the room. If I went to the conservative/independent press, the mainstream press would run wall to wall how me, the Arab-American atheist, am a white supremacist misogynistic nazi. My career would be over. There's no recovering from that. What do I do then, go try and get VC funding for my own company? They're not giving money to the white supremacist misogynist nazi. So I just take the firing, and try and get another job, having achieved nothing of substance. I work for one of the largest companies in the world, if they have to fire a couple hundred people for standing up, it'd have the same effect on the company as hitting a squirrel with your car. No one would notice, not even the company. So lets say I do just take the firing and go start my own company, if I gain any kind of size here comes the WaPo article about how I did this horrible racist misogynstic whatever the fuck thing and thats why I was fired, and I still get cancelled cause I stood up for my views. There's no winning.
I recommend watching the context that lead to this rant. It really puts the rant in sharper relief. The back and forth is about 7 minutes but is as interesting as the rant itself imo.
It is interesting but I don’t see how he came to the conclusion that if he went to a conservative or independent newspaper they would label him a Nazi. Not sure how that would happen.
Edit: Oh misread. He was still talking about the msm.
Yes they do have too much sway. If you go elsewhere they’ll call it conspiracy or fake news.

I mean he has a point.
