    If you’re trying to hurt Tim Pool as much as possible all you need to do is pull off his safety beanie.

      A pathetic excuse for a man who can never be seen without a beanie covering his balding head because he isn’t man enough to accept the fact that he’s aging.

      He was also unwittingly (so he claims) being paid to spread Russian propaganda.

      So, a traitor, and also a pussy.

    Every day that passes where nobody kicks the fucking shit out of Tim Pool is a day where we stray further from God.

    Can someone elaborate on the issues with this guy? My roommates are solidly left, compassionate greybeard punks, but I have occasionally seen Tim on a YouTube ‘podcast’ they watch. I’m vaguely aware of a scandal involving Russian money, but would appreciate more info before mentioning anything to them.

      He’s an alt-right pundit that tries to pretend he isn’t right wing. But who only ever seems to have mild disagreements with right wing figures while he attacks the left. His Wikipedia article has a “Views” section that does a pretty good job illustrating why he is… Not great let’s say.

        Is this the same guy who is apparently so insecure about his hair loss that he’s also trying to pretend he’s not bald?

          You mean Timothy Daniel Pool? The same Timothy Daniel Pool that constantly wears a beanie even if it’s wildly inappropriate to be doing so for wherever he is because he’s insecure about his hair loss and viciously attacks anyone who even remotely insinuates that this is what’s happening? That guy? Yeah pretty sure.

          Yep. Even in the “best case” scenario where none of the “talent” at Tenet was being directly told what to say, the disinfo people being like “Hey big dog, love what you’re doing. Here’s an ungodly amount of money to keep doing it,” isn’t functionally any different. It only means they potentially didn’t directly commit the crime of being an unregistered foreign agent or whatever the wording is.

          They just found somebody prominent that was already saying most of what they wanted to pay someone directly to say and basically got them for a discount because they didn’t need to convince them to say it.

      If he’s showing up on podcasts it’s likely in a “debate” setting where the leftist hosts contend with his screwed up right wing politics and rhetoric. Whether giving him a platform like that is good for anything is up for debate in itself, but that’s probably what’s going on.
