I don’t like the woke movement either, but I like the “Race war now!” movement far, FAR, FAR LESS…
He’s single because he never takes that beanie off.
Dude has some serious self esteem issues. I’ve seen fat chicks with better rizz than him.
Fuck him don’t bring his bullshit here
Always has been a moron.
He’s an uneducated, far right, internet “celeb” Essentially he’s s nobody with zero education and uses big words to sound smart for his under 20 y/o audience
He’s mediocre and honestly basic af. Get new material little Timmy, ya boring 😴
Guys (et all), please don’t make fun of the dim fool’s name. It’s rude and frankly immature.
FYI, it’s “et al”
Like he wasn’t voting libertarian before.
What’s really sad is that I see plenty of this among my community. They get mad at stuff that they’re willing to flip over other side just to get back at them or something.
Tim Poole is so inconsistent with his own opinions that he regularly contradicts himself within the same thought. It’s incredibly cringe inducing and wildly frustrating to even hate listen to his show. He also does some really blaringly racist cherry picking for topics and constantly pushes the “crime is out of control” narrative with only anecdotal evidence. I utterly hate his show and wish he would actually face some repercussions for his Russian payoff (he won’t but I wish he would).
Theres more than one clip (I think by Some More News) of him stopping mid-sentence while reading as he realizes the article completely debunks the point he’s trying to make and passing it off like it still made his point.
That’s exactly it, and this tweet image was none other than Cody Showdy himself.
Tim Pool got his start being a shill against the Occupy Wall Street protestors in 2010 and 2011, like many of the fascists we all know and hate, such as Stephen Crowder. The idea that he has voted democrat until now is such a joke it is practically an anti-joke.
He never actually says he voted Democrat before. Just that this is his first time voting republican. So he either didn’t vote or voted libertarian.
He kinda implied it though.
Of course he did.
Russia’s government pays better to spread FUD and bigoted propaganda than maintaining principled values like truth, liberty, or justice. The catalyst he’s obviously lying about is actually a big fat bootlicker demagogue payday.
Ya know, I think a lot of people miss the point on this. There are some real biggots that hate trans and yadda yadda, but the majority of joe everyman voter is really saying “im struggling to pay my bills and all you care about is peoples genders, and people who arent even american”. Is it true? No. But politics for most people is about feeling and emotion. There is no logic talk that will change that. You have to meet simple people at their level; you cant force them to reach your level and understand all the nuance. They are not capable.
Its imperitive that the left stop falling back on this rhetoric, over the economic issues that the majority of voters care about. And dont say “well this policy and that policy and…” They dont understand any of that. They need to hear that they come first.
This is 100% true and people here won’t want to hear it.
We lost and we lost BAD. I want to be reasonable and learn WHY we lost.
Just sitting here screaming how everyone is racists and sexist, is juvenile and will cause us to learn NOTHING.
However fucked up a vote for Trump was, it’s more damming that people chose HIM over our candidate.
Trump GAINED black and Hispanic voters, so just screaming racism ain’t it.
Fairly or unfairly, the Democrats are burdened with the baggage that they care more about identity politics and policing language than actually fixing anything. That’s what I’ve learned.
We’ve got a big echo chamber here, and most of the shit we discuss here doesn’t resonate with the majority of people.
We’re more concerned about people saying “unhoused” than actual homelessness and how to solve it.
I just disagree with most of this. We should never stop talking about the social issues. A lot of really outspoken Trump etc folks are out to distort and transform our country in oppressive ways, with no regard to economics. We must fight that.
The thing is, the left ain’t doing shit for trans people. Kamala never said she’d do shit for our rights.
Conservatives are the ones who make this about trans people. I transitioned more than ten years ago - no one gave a rats ass in 2014.
“I put a fascist in power because mcdonals tripled the price on a quarter pounder combo”
-Typical 3x trump voter-
I bet dim tool the Russian fool says that every four years
There’s been a real shift in Silicon Valley, from Squish Neoliberal International Markets And Raytheon Branded Pride Flags to Based Trad Horny Catholic Gymrat Nationalism.
A lot of it follows the Zuck/Bezos/Musk arc. Tim Poole is getting dragged along on the undertow.
But the Russia shit is mostly because Russia has followed along with American Conservativism while Ukraine has been painted as Neoliberal. So much of this isn’t Trump following Putin but Putin following the Kochs and the Mellons and Murdochs.
Well, White Supremacy is also the politics of identy, i.e. Identity Politics.
The Racism is the seeing of other human beings as defined above all by the genetics they were born with (i.e. race, gender, sexual orientation), the religious affiliation they got from their parents or the geographical location they were born in and then presuming things about them based on that (which is quite literally Prejudice), it’s not in which specific race/gender/sexual-orientation/religion/nationality you see as good/victims or bad/oppressors.
One is not any less Racist when, for example, the race whose people one presumes are “good people” is not White - the Racism is the making presumptions about people based on their race, so the specific races such a prejudiced person thinks are “good” or “bad” are entirelly relevant in determining if the one making presumptions is a Racist or not.
Ultimatelly, all such “identity” groups have good people and bad people, and when they’re in a situation with power and no accountability, bad people do bad things independently of their “identity”.
This Racism of the modern self-identified Identity Politics practicioners was made painfully obvious by how the Liberals in places like the US and Germany reacted to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza - for years they’ve been prejudiced about people based on their ethnicity whilst passing that shit as anti-racism because their list of “good ethnicities” and “bad ethnicities” was different from that of the traditional racists, and one of the “good ethnicities” in their worldview was Jews and when it turned out that the self-proclaimed representatives of all Jews - Israel - was led by some trully horrible people who were mass murdering people based on their ethnicity, out came the Liberals in its defense because of the ethnicity it claimed to represent (and often being very overt about how it was all due to ethnicity, such as how Scholz in Germany and Biden in the US very overtly stating their “unwavering support for the Jewish Nation”), and further making their prejudices and racism obvious with the ultra-racist claim that Israel represented the Jewish Religion even when many Jews said it did not, and the even more extreme racist accusations of anti-semitism against those demonstrating against the Israeli Genocide (imagine how extremelly racist you have to be to claim that being against Genocide is being against the Jewish Religion, which logically is the same as saying Genocide is a Jewish thing). These self-proclaimed anti-racists didn’t drop their support for Israel as anybody driven by principles would have done based on their actions, they doubled down on it and did it very overtly based solely on the ethnicity that country claims to represent, exactly like all the other Racists act.
This shit is no less Racists than supporting the government of Appartheid South Africa because of them being though of as White.
Anyways, the fairest and real Leftie take on unfairness and suffering is to correct the unfairness and suffering and go at it by descending order of intensity (i.e. start by going after the biggest ones), quite independently of the genetics the victims and perpetrators were born with or the “reasons” why some assholes - the tradition racists - go around inflicting pain on others: the action is that is wrong and must be punished and the hurt and harm to the victimed corrected and grabing the “logic” of the aggressor and twisting it around keeps the agressor’s way of thinking alive and hence the unfairness of treatment, and just moves the unfairness around rather than stop it.
There was a lot to unpack in what you said. A shit ton of you being upset over the situation in Israel and a lot of you trying to shift the blame.
I find it strange you attack the only people who would agree with you stances. Everyone I know who claims to be liberal is bewildered at what Israel has done. The conservatives I know approve of Isreal’s right to defend themselves at any cost.
Also that last bit about the oppressed becoming the oppressor is interesting especially when you see what happened in South Africa and Israel. The answer is of course to recognize and stop the cycle but it does often feel like a pendulum.
True, good point on Israel.
Liberal politicians are the ones who are “Relaxed about Genocidal ethno-Fascism”, whilst it makes sense that genuine Liberals (so, Liberal out of principle, not merely political followers), would also be against what’s going on in Israel if only because killing people is the ultimate reduction of their freedom.
I should have been more clear about meaning Liberal Politicians when I used the word “Liberal”.
I don’t actually think Identity Politics is Liberal, I think it’s something build on top of Liberalism by politicians, in the best cases out of convenience - it’s far easier to address certain things by reducing people to identity groups and then fighting for entire groups and/or passing measures that affect all of a group equally and it actually works up to a point - and in the worst cases just as pure hypocrisy and even greed - it makes for simple slogans that politically work well and are easy to sell, brings them votes and if a politician happens to be a member of an identity that person can advance their own personal upsides by claiming measures that benefit them are for the identity group (this by the way, is also how the Far-Right tends to use identity politics, only they use different identities).
That said you’re at the very least misreading my words on the whole “oppressed becoming the oppressor” - what I wrote is that all groups contain people who will do bad things when they have the power and no accountability. At no point did I claimed they were oppressed, oppressors or one of them who had become the other, much less part of “THE oppressed” or “THE oppressor”.
Sure, sometimes the tables turn and people who are themselves oppressed and members of a group containing mainly oppressed get power and then become themselves oppressors, but that’s not related to any identity and it’s not even needed that the whole group stops being oppressed, just that individual: it’s simply that assholes who are powerless usually risk a lot by acting as assholes, whilst people in positions of power can often act as assholes if they so wish and get away with it, so assholes will do it.
Further, there is no need for those people to be in a grand category called “THE oppressed” or “THE oppressors” - often assholes who behave meekly when faced with somebody with more power will behave as assholes towards those with less power: such double-face is a pretty common dynamic in schoolyard bullies or even company bullies (look to middle and lower level management to find those). Such people are both oppressed and oppressors - in other words, even at this level the trying to tag people as something isn’t helpful: both the oppression done to that person in the middle and the oppression that person themself does are wrong and should be stopped, and an “oppressor” tag here just muddles a situation were there are two wrong actions going on and the victim of one happens to be the perpetrator of the other.
Dude has no idea what he’s saying and is just throwing labels around to sound smart. Hilariously, he might be outing himself as a racist too.
Go back to your abandoned skatepark, Toolie.
