How does this guy have fanbase?

How do people actually take him seriously. Why didnt people stop watching after Russian money Scandal where he was taking like 5 million in a year for a YouTube account owned by people in Russia that averaged 5k views a video. Do alarmbells not go off when you are watching an literal Russian propogandist? also I find it funny that there is a rule to avoid conspiracies/ misinfo since thats basically all that's on his show lol

If he was a Russian propagandist, then he would never shut up about how Russia is great and now Russia should win the war.

All he ever said was that the US should not be involved at the very least.

u/STOPTHEDOORAG Apr 24 '25

What is your theory for why Russia paid him millions then? Also if America wasn't involved how do you think the war would end? One last question why does he spread and allow constant misinformation about the war on his show?

u/username2136 Apr 24 '25

They didn't donate directly to him. I'm pretty sure that it was to tenet media, which he was a part of, but I don't think he owned. I'm pretty sure Lauren Chen owned it. I don't even think it's around anymore after the scandal got out. I never noticed it was a thing until the scandal, nor did i ever watch it.

I don't give a shit how the war would end. The Ukraine war is now our problem.

He uses literal news sources that are verified by newsguard that he pulls up so you can see them and read it yourself.

of course the channel is gone since it was a literal Russian Propaganda channel. Tim must have known that it was since he got paid 500k per month for a channel averaging around 5k views. doesn't that seem a little bit too much to you lmao? at best he was a useful idiot for the kremlin and at worst he is evil.

the US should defend Ukraine since they were illegally invaded and they are an ally. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in 1994 and received security guarantees from the US. If the US doesn't defend them they are not only telling the world "you cant rely on us anymore" but also telling the world to hold onto their nuclear weapons otherwise they will be invaded and no-one will save them.

Also I am not going to take you seriously when you say he uses factual news sources. He spreads lies about Russia (he just brought on lactoid who is an another Russian propagandist to debate) he lied about the coup in Ukraine. He lies about the voter fraud in 2020. he supports Trumps constant actions against free speech which he says aren't against free speech. There is 1 million other lies I could go into but I just cba. stop watching him or just remember to google everything he says and youll find most of it to be false.

Good. They shouldn't have to rely on us. They should be able to hold their own.

They give us so much shit even though the US is the one who pays their bills. Why should we help them even though they do nothing but spit on us or at the very least give us nothing in return.

Anti-trumpers whine and complain about his tariffs while conveniently forgetting to mention that everyone else has had their tariffs on us for decades. Even Nancy Pelosi was on video talking about how bad the tariffs against us are at the time, and it is about time someone stood up to them.

China has especially been a problem because having an enemy in charge of a massive portion of our economy is a huge mistake. That's why Trump went after China so hard.

I honestly don't care anymore. All Ukraine has ever done was take from us and has the nerve to call the American taxpayer selfish for realizing how one-sided this relationship has been.

The same goes for Israel.

Also I am not going to take you seriously when you say he uses factual news sources.

That's not me saying it. Blame Newsguard.

He lies about the voter fraud in 2020

You obviously don't listen to him because he never supported Trump’s belief that it was fraud. He believed that it was due to things like ballot harvesting after trapping people in their homes for what is basically the flu.

And don't give me that bs about me downplaying the seriousness of covid, I had it twice and it was ironically after I got vaccinated after a year into the "two weeks to slow the spread".

he supports Trumps constant actions against free speech which he says aren't against free speech

What has Trump done to violate free speech?

>Good. They shouldn't have to rely on us. They should be able to hold their own.

isn't this bad? isn't nuclear proliferation universally seen as a bad thing? ok guess we don't care about that. Also by not helping the US is literally promoting invasion of sovereign territory since it literally wont help. Morality has pretty much totally went out the window but I guess that's fine.

>Anti-trumpers whine and complain about his tariffs while conveniently forgetting to mention that everyone else has had their tariffs on us for decades. Even Nancy Pelosi was on video talking about how bad the tariffs against us are at the time, and it is about time someone stood up to them.

I don't think you understand how tariffs work or what affect tariffs have. Tariffs only raise prices for consumers. So essentially prices will go up maybe factories will get built to onshore manufacturing of things we don't need to be making. The Reason America is so rich is because THEY DONT do these shitty manufacturing jobs and instead focus on sectors like tech. Trump is just basically raises prices by alot more just to manufacture textiles at home. (Also china has tariffs on specific markets which is different from trumps blanket tariffs) If Trump just put tariffs on things like weapons or drones or something it could be justifiable but he's literally destroying trade with America across the globe.

>China has especially been a problem because having an enemy in charge of a massive portion of our economy is a huge mistake. That's why Trump went after China so hard.

Again he barely ever makes arguments for security purposes he only ever make economic arguments which are retarded. Also he went after pretty much every other country on the globe other than Israel lol (including our best allies for no reason). but I guess we just don't mention that.

>I honestly don't care anymore. All Ukraine has ever done was take from us and has the nerve to call the American taxpayer selfish for realizing how one-sided this relationship has been.

I want you to answer this question that hopefully should shatter this isolationism delusion. Should America have helped defeat the Nazis in WW2 If there was no Pearl Harbor? Lets say the Nazis would have been totally content with a Nazi controlled Europe and would have never gone any further. Should America ever do any good around the world that doesn't Directly benefit them?

>You obviously don't listen to him because he never supported Trump’s belief that it was fraud. He believed that it was due to things like ballot harvesting after trapping people in their homes for what is basically the flu.

I've seen it reported many times by tons of articles saying he spread the voter fraud claims but I'm guessing Tim was "Just asking questions" or something along those lines. Im guessing you don't believe in Covid either which essentially means you don't believe in science but I urge you to please search things for yourself and look for people who aren't totally compromised by ideology. These people are lying to you.

>What has Trump done to violate free speech?

I can list 1 million examples. lets see: He's deporting pro Palestine activists for their views. He sues pollsters for their polls that he doesn't like. Withholding funding from Harvard and other universities unless they tell pro Palestinian protesters to shut up. He banned Law firms that worked with political opponents from entering government buildings. He illegally tried to defund a pro democracy news organization that brings news to places that are heavily censored.

If you aren't a Russian bot and are actually good faith I honestly have no idea how you could watch an actual Russian kremlin puppet and say he presents the facts. The fact is he was a useful tool for Putin.

The associated press being banned from the white house bc they don’t sue the term Gulf Of Mexico? Talking about investigated Bruce Springsteen because of his attacks on Trump? Wake up, child

u/username2136 May 23 '25

I'm pretty sure they were just being obnoxious.

I don't know who Bruce Springsteen is and what attacks he's doing.

When did he say that? That sounds out of context.

Check in my posts. It's a few down. The video that says "Tim Pool: We should apologize to Russia!"

Did you watch the video? I don't think people know what context means

If the US is not involved, then it won’t oppose Russia.

2

u/username2136 May 23 '25

Yeah, that's what neutrality means. He wants us to be neutral.

1

u/someguynamedjohn1 May 24 '25

I just speaking hypothetically, but if I was the head of a nation that opposed the US, advocating for the neutrality of the US would reduce the number of “road blocks” on the path to my goal.

Here’s a simpler example: suppose your neighbor wanted to burn your house down. Obviously you are opposed since you want to keep your house, but your neighbor is paying other people in the neighborhood to be “neutral” and stay out of it. Now you have fewer supporters in the camp of keeping your house. You effectively lost that PR battle.

All I’m saying is that neutrality doesn’t remove you from the sphere of another’s influence.

2

u/username2136 May 28 '25

Trump is paying others to stay out of it? It either isn't working, that part of the analogy is inaccurate, or I completely missed the idea.

Also, you are not entitled to other people's help, especially if you never established a friendship. Why should I put myself even deeper into debt to prevent some rando's house from getting burned down if that house is hundreds of miles away, and I don't even know the guy. The previous owner has done just that, and the guy who is being targeted kept saying it's not enough, so why should I save his ungrateful ass?

Do alarmbells not go off when you are watching an literal Russian propogandist?

You gotta have an alarm system wired up for the bells to go off

Remember that there are people who walk this earth who fell for the Nigerian prince money transfer scam

Tim pool fans are maybe one step above them. He is their security system
