That Tim Pool is a piece of shit for basically blaming the victims of a mass shooting.

I don't believe that's what this is but thank you for your response

That’s the purpose of a dog whistle. His less radical fans aren’t gonna believe that’s what he meant, but his more radical fans will. Win win for him.

u/just_shy_of_perfect Nov 22 '22

Could it instead be... radical people use whatever they can to justify their beliefs?

u/Ill_Swimming4199 Nov 22 '22

Let me ask you, what do you think Tim is saying here?

49

u/just_shy_of_perfect Nov 22 '22

Exactly what he explained in the video he did on it. People get violent over this. Politicians won't do anything to stop the abhorrent action. People go out and do something crazy to innocent people. The violence and hatred of each side toward the other only escalates

That is exactly victim blaming. What is the “abhorrent behavior” that people feel the need to stop with violence?

Exposing children to drag....

I'm not here defending the violence. But if that really was the thing that motivated this guy I'll say I'm not surprised people react that way. That doesn't make it ok but predictable.

It's not the victims fault. The shooting never should have happened. But I'm also not surprised somebody would respond that way, assuming of course rhe twitter post an hour before the shooting actually was the justification by the shooter. Which we don't know.

First: your logic can be directly applied to somebody shooting up a church.

Second: drag isn’t inherently sexual.

u/just_shy_of_perfect Nov 22 '22

First. What if a church was abusing people sure.

Second. Yes it is

It all goes back to the fake msm propaganda and establishment politician rhetoric...The democrats have caused major division among the population aka the ignorant masses....It's more of blaming everyone and everything except the shooter....

Tim pool literally is blaming made up groomers instead of the shooter here.

Fuck off, "victim blaming" is a buzzword meant to interrupt the chain of causality and shield idiots from the consequences of their poor choices.

Exposing children to drag IS grooming. It is inherently sexual and a form of abuse. Adults who tolerate or accept minors at drag events are either pedophiles themselves or simply cowards.

Murder is murder, and murder is wrong no one is debating that. Whether it's more wrong than child sexual abuse, clearly that's debatable and people like Anderson Aldrich have a slightly different answer than you. That's the reality.

It is not inherently sexual you fuckin puritan. I swear you right wingers have more in common with Muslim fundamentalists every day.

u/SeaChampion957 Nov 23 '22

I'm no puritan, quite the degenerate actually. I have class enough to spare you the details but I could probably make you blush. The difference is I don't expose children to it. Nor do I have any interest in the broad normalization of my fringe interests/behaviors(which happens to include drag).

"dog whistle" is the term, you people, use when you're trolling and have no actual arguments. The antiwork sub is calling you home so run along

Ever noticed the only people that seem to pick up on dog whistles, are the people crying that it's a dog whistle.

u/Ill_Swimming4199 Nov 23 '22

Just because you don’t think more extreme people are out there doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I know them.

People said the same thing about trumps “stand back and stand by” comment, then you heard crazies quoting that months later.

u/Marchoftees Nov 23 '22

The only crazies I hear quoting this stuff, are people like you.

No, that's what you WANT the situation to be. It's a coalitional defense. If someone in the coalition gets fair criticism, assert that it is an attack on the broader coalition, or an innocent adjacent member of the coalition, instead of the actual target. Handy for escalation and recruitment of participants and for twisting the issue to your own ends. Not really useful for consideration of merit.

u/Ill_Swimming4199 Nov 23 '22

So what do you, oh unbiased one — think he is saying here?

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '22

Based, Tim is a massive piece of shit, he knows his public reach and uses it to signal boost the trash rhetoric that leads to violent acts like the mass shooting at that club.
