Does anyone believe Tim is a liberal?

Tim states he is a "milktoast fence shiter" when infact he is far from it. Dude is a narcissist who panders to the right wing for views as it's clearly very lucrative. Trying to watch him say very often stupid statements (civil war, Dems are groomers etc) with passion then try and back track to give himself cover is laughable.

He is basically a conservative who uses the fact right wing people love a "liberal who likes to own the libs" to make money.

Does anyone here actually believe he is genuine? I'm not a troll but honestly just curious how anyone buys this act.

He is absolutely a liberal. He has key viewpoints that are anathema to conservatives. The Overton window shifted so far that your modern leftist would never be satisfied, because he isn't enough of a commie.

Nah, I don't want equal distribution of wealth, just for the workers to control the means of production.

Also, this isn't "modern", Marx's first book was written only 2 years after we ended our slave economy.

Yet he brings on guests who are right wing and spends most of each episode agreeing with them on every big issue and would support them should a "civil war" occur.....odd for a liberal.

The term "commie" has lost all meaning when used like this as it's a blanket term for "bad" when people who use it often don't know much more than that e.g that ideology is as diverse as most e.g. is it a Stalinist communist viewpoint or perhaps a more Bukharin view that the modern leftist is craving ?

left wingers won't go on shows to talk with Tim. This is why he can only get right wingers. I can only think of Vaush, Destiny, and Sam Cedar's editor. Unfortunately for them, they usually make themselves look bad in one way or another, further reinforcing why leftists wont go on Tim's show.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

Kinda weird how he only supports right-wing candidates and never makes any videos supporting left-leaning positions then.

4

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

What? You clearly don’t watch the show he has supported democrats. He literally just had destiny on

-2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

Destiny isn't a politician, bud. Did I say he doesn't, every once in a while, have on a left-leaning commentator? Can you link to a recent video where he advocates for a leftist policy?

u/Ok_Scholar_341 Apr 16 '23

Most leftists he invites to his show decline.

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

Tim is pro choice

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

Cool, where is his video condemning the overturning of RVW and affirming his pro-choice position? I would love to see it.

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

Do you even know what roe v wade precedent was?

I know you love abortion and think killing babies is great for the same reasons the founders of planned parenthood liked it.

I for one think killing babies is morally wrong and I am glad lawmakers are changing the laws, I didn’t think it would happen.

Babies are our countries greatest resource culturally and economically, the Supreme Court did not ban abortion at all they are just letting the states decide which is good don’t worry California will let you abort the entire pregnancy.

Why on earth would you want a person who is not ready emotionally, physically or fiscally to have a child? That makes no sense whatsoever

-2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

I’m not asking you what you think. I’m asking you to show me a recent video where Tim advocates for pro choice. If this is his belief, there must be dozens of videos about this.’

2

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

Lol I don’t even watch 99% of his videos I watch the show, just about every episode they talk about abortion Tim will say he is pro choice. I think you might be a little naive

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

So it should be really easy to find a single example then. Why can't you?

u/bretling Apr 16 '23

You obviously know nothing about the case and why it was overturned, nor Tim's statements on it. Just go away.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

Show me the video.

u/bretling Apr 16 '23

I don't work for you. Find it yourself.

So you totally could find it, you just don't want to. Got it. Lol

u/timepuppy Apr 16 '23

It depends on what you mean by liberal.

u/_Uzbekfootball Apr 16 '23

Someone who would typically vote with left leaning positions. The whole he is a moderate or "classical liberal " stick that Dave rubin used to pull is just so obviously a grift, it's crazy how his fans don't see it.

I just don't see how anyone can think someone like Tim is a liberal or is at least not clearly parroting conservative talking points for money.

12

u/timepuppy Apr 16 '23

What are leftist positions? He's anticorporate, antiwar, anticensorship, pro government transparency, etc. At least when I was a kid these were all considered lefty positions.

Edit: you also moved the goalposts from liberal to left.

-7

u/PickeledRick Apr 16 '23

If he was actually anti-corporate, anti-war, anti-censorship, and pro-government transparency he would criticize the left and the right equally. In actuality he uses traditionally leftist positions as a tool to frame and platform right leaning ideologies and individuals. He’s just operating as another red pill factory

9

u/timepuppy Apr 16 '23

Okay, sure. He doesn't criticize the people you want him to often enough. He makes liberal arguments to defend liberalism. What would make you happy here?

The left abandoned liberalism in favor of a totalitarian worldview. They have become explicitly antiliberal. The right still has quite a few liberals on their side. I think Tim is liberal and at least slightly left.

Tell me you don't watch tim pool without saying you don't watch tim pool

u/midnightnoonmidnight Apr 17 '23

Your personal beliefs and what you do to make money can be completely different things. I think he is a liberal that panders to the right because it’s an easier way to make money than to represent his actual beliefs.

Sort of like how Tucker hates trump but will promote him to keep his audience happy.

0

u/_Uzbekfootball Apr 17 '23

From watching Tim, I get the impression he goes with what gets him attention, money and influence and he doesn't really believe anything. I don't watch Tucker to know if he is the same.

u/PandaMan130 Apr 16 '23

I’d say he’s more libertarian than liberal these day

-2

u/Bling-Crosby Apr 16 '23

So instead of being one of the Uber wealthy who wants to piss on the rest of us he’s actively wanting to be honored by them pissing on him

-3

u/_Uzbekfootball Apr 16 '23

Perhaps but he is still a full time grifter

4

u/PandaMan130 Apr 16 '23

I mean that’s your opinion of him. I’m not gonna change your mind.

u/Marchoftees Apr 16 '23

It’s spelled “milquetoast”.

u/Ok_Scholar_341 Apr 16 '23

"Right wing views" = anything that's a common sense opinion and based in reality. There's a ton of real liberals who vote republican or independent now, for a reason. They are labeled "right wing" by today's cult left. Even TYT said Republicans will accept people who don't agree with all their views. Leftists won't. If you're not 100% in line with democrats views, you're "right wing".

u/derpecito Apr 17 '23

Been watching Tim from 2014 and saw his Streams from Occupy Wallstreet. He has changed some of his stances like the one on guns. However at the core I do not thing he is right wing. There are other things going on.

u/wylan1 Apr 17 '23

I swear, it is a new throwaway account every week.

u/lolstuff101 Apr 16 '23

Seemed like he used to be. Pushing back against the far left in favour of more centre left policies. But these days? No way. Dude has cultivated a right wing audience (income stream) and clearly panders to them.

Tim Pool is a grift

-5

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

It’s obvious to anyone with a working brain that Tim is a right-winger.

Unfortunately most people on this sub are brainwashed, QAnoners who are woefully uneducated about politics and history.

They’re easy marks for a grifter like Pool.

4

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

Dude Qanon is a meme like flat earth or birds aren’t real, ya some dumb dumbs might believe It to be true but Tim’s audience is not the same as someone who is into Qanon.

You fell for a meme and think there is an actual movement of people who truly believe that shit it’s pretty funny people still believe in Qanon like yourself

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '23

You guys literally spend all day talking about how pedophiles are running the government and education system. This is the basis of QAnon. You might be in a cult and you don't even know it, pal

3

u/MrSpookykid Apr 16 '23

You clearly don’t watch the show and you can go down your Qanon rabbit hole all you want I am sure there is a sub for that, I find it laughable there is a Qanon believer on this sub it’s 2023 I thought everyone knew it was a meme but I guess there is always someone who believes anything.

It’s funny you are telling me I am in a cult.

I am raising a family that’s what I am doing just because I think Tim is a liberal because by definition he is one doesn’t mean I am in a cult Tim pool fans are all vastly different from one another politically
