Tim redpilled so many people during election. And still continues to push out info about lawsuits and fraud allegation to centrists on youtube. He is practically the only voice out there right now that is still reaching the centrists with MAGA info.

And mods jump on the hate train cause he didn't kiss enough MAGA ass for them?

What the fuck is this? These people are mimicking lefty behavior pretty hard.

He stabbed us in the back for nearly a week after the election, blackpilling, encouraging us to give up, and pretending it was all conspiracy theories. He's only covering stuff now because he lost a fuckton of viewers.

Is this new to you? because posts like these, are exactly how it goes.

Today its Tim Pool because he doubted victory. Tomorrow its Tucker Carlson because he didn't dump Fox fast enough. Than it will be other minor centrist voices like Arch and Sargon and Styx.

It will just keep going, until there is no one left but the most rabid and extreme voices.

We will bleed supporters every step of the way. That is literally what happened to the left movement over the last decade. Except they actually had a chance to start - MAGA is barely past infancy and we already seeing the purity spiral.

This.

These butthurt Pedes sound literally exactly like liberals when they start eating their own for not being woke enough.

Bingo. Stop with the purity tests. IDGAF about Tim anyway.

I get what you're saying, but it is not a purity spiral to expect a journalist to have facts before he reports.

There's a difference between not being woke enough and being okay with the destruction of the country. You're either with us or against us.

Sometimes I check in on liberal boards and it's startling how we say the same things about eachother. The donald might be a good echo chamber, but it is an echo chamber nonetheless

That's not what's going on. Our favorite president is currently locked in legal battles to win a fraudulent election. We need to support him. We don't need doubting Thomas's coming along and demoralizing everybody. Hence the backlash we're seeing here.

Tim Pool got off at his last stop and is no longer on the Trump Train. He can always get back on. It's never too late to buy a ticket for the Trump Train. There's no brakes on the Trump Train.

Whoa, voice and reason in an emotional setting? God speed, patriot.

thanks, but going to be seeing less of that now.

I contacted mods about why they chose to sticky it, they doubled down on supporting it. 'Fuck Tim Pool' is apparently official thedonald position.

I've already learned my lesson on Reddit about how much use it is to try and push against platform admins on their own site. Going back to lurker mode.

True. I don't like this development either.

But I think this is an issue of demoralization tactics of the left and fighting against it. Indeed things can spiral out of hand, especially when it reaches censorship (=deport).

So it's a dilemma. Both sides can be argued for and have their valid points.

Seriously, this.

Tim Pool played a big part in my red pilling.

You can red pill all the normies you want but it doesn't make this guy any less of a bitch.

I think they're jumping on him because this is exactly how fake news is made. It's more of a limited hangout sort of set-up, but you don't gain trust just to tell a big lie.
