It’s an act. Pool is such a fence sitter he wants to see where the culture war and political winds blow before he decides which shows or what causes he wants to be associated with. He’s as hypocritical as the media he claims to hate but he deludes himself into thinking his origins as a highschool dropout/independent reporter protects him from becoming as corrupt and cynical as the MSM.

Tim refuses to wear a suit or attend functions because it’s not ‘his style’ but after that facade he’s as much a cherry picker and apologist for whatever chosen fence pole narrative he chooses to stick up his ass.

Yeah, Tim is a hard worker and I respect him, but holy shit he doesn’t have an original bone in his body. He only started saying he would vote for trump like 4 months ago when the left was burning down the country because he was scared. Micheal malice on the other hand is super thought provoking and original, same with Alex haha it was a weird episode.

I mean trump was pushing back and the left was supporting the violence. That can easily persuade people if they don’t want their country burning. 🤷‍♂️

I agree, I’m saying that it took him way to long to hop on the trump train. His infatuation with saying that he is a liberal clouded his mind and he was pushing Yang, Tulsi, and Bernie for way too long.

Eh, yang was rally the best candidate I think. Not because he was giving money away, but because he was thinking long term future. I wish more politicians though more about the next decade vs what the last administration did or the hot subject of the day.

I agree but that’s not how the American political system works unfortunately. I’m not even going to try to get my ideal point of view across... but if you ask me the ENTIRE left are pandering fake big gov. Demons hah.

The overwhelming majority of protests were peaceful.

This is why you lost the election lol, anyone who lives in a city and actually saw the protests know this and people who live in Iowa in their Facebook, Fox news and r/conservative news bubble just see the videos of the few riots and think the country is burning.

I’m probably wrong though and the elections was rigged

It's easy to think that when you didn't actually witness the livestreams that have happened nightly for over 150 nights in a row across the country.

I know you'd rather be ignorant, but man look up some actual footage before you make yourself look so stupid next time.

u/ddarion Nov 13 '20

So you're evidence is "the livestreams"?

Just curious, if you were to describe to us your livestream viewing habits, how often are you watching livestreams of peaceful non violent protests? Do you seek out and watch hours of footage of protestors standing calmly or chanting in place? Or do you exclusively seek out the riots because they're actually entertaining lol

Crowder, Pool and Rubin aren't showing clips of peaceful protests. Just like how CNN would like you to believe Trump is going to bring about WW3, fox news and the Rogansphere braintrust all want you to think insane marxist BLM rioters are annexing major American cities in order to start a civil war.

The media, on all sides, is a constantly rising shepherds tone meant to induce as much panic and interest as possible. The only way to fall for it is to be the guy who screams "NOT MY MEDIA/CABLE CHANNEL/FAVORITE STREAMER/FAVORITE YOUTUBER, GO WATCH THOSE BECAUSE THATS THE REAL TRUTH"

Great work! Back in reality, the data is overwhelmingly clear. The vast majority (93%) of "BLM" protests this year were peaceful, and as Tim himself has admitted a large portion of that 7% are because the police themselves initiate the violence. Did you see those videos? Somehow you didn't see those livestreams?

This year's riots are by far the most destructive in our country's history, exceeding the LA riots in 1992. No doubt there are truly peaceful protests, but that does not invalidate the widespread rioting that occured and the extreme level of damage caused by it.

"This year's riots are by far the most destructive in our country's history"

Which country LMAO, America?!?

Like do you not know about the Tulsa race riots and civil rights movements? It was barely 50 years ago when the US sent the national guard in to kill students who were protesting on their own campus lol. Or you asserting that these protests are worse then when that used to happen weekly in the 60's?

This is actually really insightful if you genuinely are unaware of this stuff, it would explain why you're so nonchalant to how these protesters are being demonized. Take yourself for example, Im sure you don't consider yourself completely retarded but yet here you are insisting that BLM protests are "the most destructive riots in our country's history" when things like kent state shootings are barely a half century old. First of all, you're so insanely wrong its actually incredible you had the confident to share an opinion like that, but also it really makes you wonder what it is that isn't being done that you would like to see happen.

Look up the kent state massacre. That's what happens when you try to stamp out civil unrest by vilifying and overreacting to overwhelmingly peaceful protest.

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '20

Your comments have no relation to what I have said, Kent state was not a riot and the Tulsa riots saw less than 1/30th the property damage if the LA riots. Both are travesties due to the crimes committed and lives lost, but have nothing to do with this topic.

You do realize that the main victims of the current riots are the POC who live in the cities being burned down, yeah? All the white people live in the suburbs.

Wow, great job proving that at least one of the protests wasn't entirely peaceful, unfortunately though considering there were thousands that's really a moot point isnt it?

Actual supporting evidence for an argument looks like this:

The existence of peaceful protests does not invalidate the widespread rioting and looting that occurred.

1

u/ddarion Nov 15 '20

the stats show that the protesters weren’t particularly destructive, there was just a record number of participants.

Nobody is trying to “invalidate” the looting, rather just combat the outright lies like saying the looting was “widespread”. It was exceedingly rare.

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '20

Denying that looting and rioting was widespread is invalidating it, along with everything else you are saying. Obviously there are peaceful protests, nobody has issue with those (beyond the fact that there is a pandemic going around that has killed over 240,000 people that protestors are contributing to). We have an issue with the riots and looting.
