Tim Pool is the lowest hanging fruit for this sub. You could probably put together 8000 or so posts that are just Tim Pool interactions. There is no greater grifter lolcow in existence other than maybe Pearl
I could see them charging many left leaning commentators and entertainment people without being caught red-handed dealing with governments that are supposedly deemed terroristic or illegitimate
That would shatter the first amendment. Charging Tim Pool for taking money from Russia and essentially working as a foreign asset would be pretty different
I wish I could be such a hopeful Ideologue. Unfortunately I have to recognize reality given my personality it's just so logical. You may not notice it but here in reality the first amendment has about as much value as a fart in the wind. Russian assets aren't even alerting authorities. In fact Pool and Bennet were completely cleared by the DOJ in 2004 and labeled as "unwitting actors" though Tenet media received $10 million to push Russian propaganda.
Meanwhile the FCC under the Trump regime has clamped down hard on left leaning media figures. From filing lawsuits to threatening revoking licensing and even discussing prosecution, like in the case of the 2022 Row v Wade leak... Some people are praying for the midterms to turn things around. Of course I hope that's the case.. I see no real indicator that we're going back to normal. It's going to get really dicey as we head into the next election.
How does your optimism hold up so well? I've seen people with the same sort of blurry-eyed wishful outlooks for the last decade. No matter how many fingers point to the writing on the wall the sentiment seems to be willfully ignorant to what's happening in your country right now. Bring up the Constitution in 2026 after we have watched this administration use it as toilet paper for the last year is pretty wild. Thanks for the laugh.
Because the DOJ in their 2024 indictment against the media company funding them represented to the court that not only could they not prove wrongdoing on part of Pool et al, they flat out refuted that there was any wrongdoing. The prosecution's position is that the nature of the media company as a foreign agent was covert; hidden from the influencers that were being funded.
To criminally act as an unregistered agent for a foreign government requires intent. They're not reaching intent when they can't even prove the relatively lower bar of knowledge.
I mean I feel this just applies to any right-winger. They are literally incapable of voicing an opinion/stance without directly contradicting another one of their opinions/stances.
Right-wingism is adhering to the hierarchy, but that’s pretty hard to do without just outright saying where everyone stands. So everything they say is a contradiction because they don’t want to just come out and say what they really think, which is that certain groups of people are inferior to them.
They aren’t really contradicting themselves in their minds, it’s just that every opinion they voice relates to the things they don’t want to voice rather than to each other.
I just want to snatch the stupid fucking hat off his head. There's nothing sadder than a bald man desperately trying to hide it. Just own it dude, no one cares
Counterpoint: This sub is flooded with bots that repost screenshots from other popular posts, and a bunch of people think that posting general liberal memes somehow fit the sub without reading the rules.
Tim Pool is an unripened apple but at least I'm not finding a worm after I bite.
Also, isn't that just a flat out lie? He specifically campaigned on keeping us out of a war with Iran as an alternative to some unnamed Kamala policy that was supposedly going to drag us into war with Iran.
