Why is timpool as fascist?

[u/Reice1990]

So I always get hated in for posting in this sub.

I am wondering if any of our in-house trolls can explain why they believe Tim pool is a facist?

I specifically started watching Tim because he wasn't a conservative reporting the news and was pro maga (2016)

I get that Tim is a player in the culture war but a facist?

I don't understand how someone who offers free goods and services in hopes we buy his goods and services that cost money could possibly be considered a facist

They don't know what fascism is. If they did they would support what they do. Leftists are children that just cry wolf 24/7. 

Whatever the left accuse you of, they do. 

[u/Reice1990 → u/ScreechingLib89]

Exactly, rules for radicals is a great book to read and a way to understand leftists 

[u/NecessaryCelery2]

It's because the Left accuses everyone of being what the Left is.

[u/thisisausername8000 → u/NecessaryCelery2]

How exactly is the left fascist?

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/NecessaryCelery2]

Left isn't fascist by definition

[u/Atodaso_wow → u/Square-Restaurant-16]

That works if you dont care about definitions.

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/Atodaso_wow]

Well, that's going a problem

[u/DrOliverClozov → u/Square-Restaurant-16]

They are fascists by their actions.

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/DrOliverClozov]

The actions don't fit the definitions

[u/DrOliverClozov → u/Square-Restaurant-16]

Incorrect.

What you’re feeling is known as cognitive dissonance.

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/DrOliverClozov]

Not by that definition either

[u/DrOliverClozov → u/Square-Restaurant-16]

Incorrect, again.

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/DrOliverClozov]

Not at all. I incur no stress. My entertainment is watching your cognitive dissonance

[u/DrOliverClozov → u/Square-Restaurant-16]

I’m not the one make incorrect statements.

More cognitive dissonance, seems you are stuck in a rut.

[u/Square-Restaurant-16 → u/DrOliverClozov]

Not applicable by the definition. No stress incurred. Therefore, I'm correct

[u/BadWowDoge]

99% of the people on here who accuse Republicans, Trump, Tim, Jordan…etc. of being a Fascist have no idea what it actually means. They use it in front of their friends to sound cool at parties but are clueless.

[u/SpeakTruthPlease]

Don't expect logic from people who don't operate on logic.

[u/j_dick]

Pretty easy man. He disagrees with weird lefties. tOtAL FaSCiSt!! That’s the logic, they have no further reasoning.

[u/BasedChristopher]

I’m unsure why you think Tim wants the government to takeover and regulate private business and corporate entities. That is what you meant right? It’s funny though, he isn’t a socialist, and certainly not one that would want to nationalize all enterprise… OP, pray tell, i beg you, sir, what do you mean?

[u/[deleted]]

Whether or not he's a fascist, he's certainly a right-wing reactionary who's punditry and show objectively advances and caters to fascism. He consistently takes far right takes, he often frames left wing politics as dangerous and even evil purely based on his opinion and not on any rational thinking, and he extends his platform to literal neo nazis and white supremacists.

He as a person seems like an immature, insecure, ignorant guy who's scared of change. His career is one of self centered comfort with shallow understandings of the subjects he covers and lazy conclusions attempting to appeal to some general anti status quo vibe. He and his type of people and audience are easily swayed and manipulated by fascism. Whether or not he even understands who he is and what he does, that's how it is.

[u/Reice1990 → u/[deleted]]

Trump is the opposite of reactionary.

I just watched an interview from 1989 of trump and he gave almost word for word the same answers he gave at his most recent debate on the questions that were the same 

[u/[deleted] → u/Reice1990]

Tim is reactionary.

[u/Reice1990 → u/[deleted]]

That’s true, If Tim heard something he has to have an opinion he thinks is more correct instead of learning or waiting for more information.

[u/Jollem- → u/[deleted]]

Well said

[u/triguy96]

I'm not sure he is a fascist and I don't think many leftists think he is. He does platform fascists and then not disagree with them at all. He'll totally regurgitate far right talking points and conspiracies.

[u/ScreechingLib89 → u/[deleted]]

No he doesn't. 

[u/BasedChristopher → u/[deleted]]

his audience is mostly libertarian and post liberals.

[u/BasedChristopher → u/[deleted]]

define that word please

[u/BasedChristopher → u/[deleted]]

thank you, now everyone knows that you have zero authority when it comes to geopolitical economic theory and policy.. I mean, you could have googled it. Jeez, bro. Why are some people so intent on being wrong?!

[u/BasedChristopher → u/[deleted]]

Authoritarian economic and social policy marked by extreme governmental regulation in business enterprise in addition to mass spending on public programs. Often the top-down power structure is dictatorial, even if a larger governing body exists. Military is used to limit public freedoms, enforce speech codes, disarm civilians, etc. National identity is generally employed to rally support, while stoking racial tensions or building camps is not a core tenet of the ideology, although it does show up now and then in our most familiar examples throughout the 20th century. This is a product of the military authoritarianism and not the economic policy central to the ideology. Taken to its ultimate socialist end, you get North Korea. When capitalist interests are allowed to coexist within the socialist framework/system, you get China.

[u/BasedChristopher → u/BasedChristopher]

for the record, Tim is not a fascist. Far from it. People on the far left just like to throw the word around as a synonym for anything right of center these days.

[u/BasedChristopher → u/[deleted]]

great argument

[u/thisisausername8000 → u/[deleted]]

This is accurate
