Tim Pool - 'journalist' who claims to be a sensible centrist & sucks Sargon of Akkad's wiener; Afraid of the Milkshake ANTIFAs

Kinda off topic but does this TF2 Red vs Blue style of politics work to americas benefit?
Does it just look silly but actually work, or is it genuinely as dumb as it sounds? Asking for a friend.

I think Tim is interesting right now because he's covering some of the crazy crap that's happening that the MSM is ignoring. I wasn't aware of him prior to me trying to find coverage of these riots and shit without the "mostly peaceful" crap. I genuinely don't know how cowish he is because most criticism I've heard were just tumblr/twitter tier HE'S A NAZI !!!!!!!!1

Does he really always wear a beanie?

Two incidents. Once was a photo of himself and the second was when someone took the beanie off his head.

So there's one photo of him without a beanie. It hardly suggests a level of confidence within himself.

He should just go full Joe Rogan and get jacked, shave his head and, ditch the beanie.

Wait does this absolute spectacle really think, if I knew who he was because he's as impressive as he thinks with his super cool beanie, that if he removed said beanie he'd poof and become incognito?

Tim is a hat prisoner like Steve Shives. He's insecure about his premature baldness, but lacks the competence or the humility to do anything about it. His excuse that the beanie is to protect his anonymity is just that: an excuse. If anything, it makes him even more noticeable in a crowd, since it's practically his signature look.

His point is, by removing the beanie, no one would recognize him, hence giving him some anonymity.
Kinda makes sense to be honest, would make more sense if he was still doing on-the-ground journalism.

That's Tim's stated reasoning, but I don't buy it. He shows his face in every video, and his face is still easily recognizable without his hat.

It's also not like he suddenly started wearing the beanie when he decided to become a journalist. These skating videos are from 15 years ago, and he's still wedded to it:

Ah you think the beanie is your ally? You merely adopted the beanie. Tim was born in it, molded by it. Tim didn't see his head until he was already a man, by then it was nothing to him but blinding!

IMO, yes and no. Pro: We get to use the ideas of both sides when the pendulum inevitably swings to the other side, and the ones that work are (theoretically) kept when it swings back.

What we’re witnessing now is the con. If the pendulum swings too far one way, it can swing so far that it loops back around (for example, California seriously considering allowing the state to discriminate based on race, the terrorism we’re now seeing in Democrat controlled cities). That causes polarization.

It’ll settle down eventually, just like a pendulum. Then something will push on it and make it swing all over again.

Pendulum theory is the "right side of history" appeal for centrists.
