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

Is Pim Tool controlling the beanie, or is the beanie controlling him?
 
Tim's song sucks. He is running around telling everyone it is all of the haters who are saying it sucks. And I wouldn't care much about this song, but he keeps pushing it.

This is what turns milquetoast mediocrity into dog shit. Don't tell me that this bland porridge is crème brulee.

By all means I support Tim & his crew trying, failing, learning and eventually hopefully succeeding. But I won't pretend success in the mean time.

The song would have been way better if Tim had added his usual 12 minute preamble about how amazing he is, how you should be ashamed of yourself for not doing anything, how reading news articles other people wrote with no insight is somehow doing something, and how you shouldn't do anything because it doesn't matter anyway.

To be fair, very few people in the news business do original reporting, and most borrow outrageously from the officiousness of their outlet to try to sound like an authority on something despite reading off of cue cards.

So regurgitation is what everyone who isn’t a wire service does, and the individual opinions people insert and assert without disclaiming aren’t really a good thing.

Tim is an absolute dweeb and painfully self important, but you kinda can’t do what he’s doing without self promoting. And he does sort of add some level of value by walking his audience through the stories and hitting on what the sources are.

Tim has enough subscribers & followers to have already ranked his song on some charts at 69 cents a pop. Yes, he is gunning for #1. But he will be able to declare success with what he has already done.

Tim currently dedicates himself to producing a newsish product and is fairly decent at the job as measured by his regular following and viewership.

When it comes to "culture," music and TV shows... well you can't be a god of everything. He already has a cadre of banned artists. If he can find the right mix of them to create music and tv shows that would be great. But let's face it. Odds are extremely low he will be multitalented at everything. He would be better off focusing on providing those who dedicate their lives to their artistry a platform to build on.

Did ben shapiro's yamika approve of his sister's appearance in this video?
 
Pool keeps his beanie on 24/7 because he knows that if he took it off 1 minute later everyone would say "For God's sake put that back on".

Fucking hell, I hate defending Tim.

I don't mind the song and I think it was competently produced. Creatively, its message is as simple as sharpening a stick and calling it a spear, but that's the vast majority of listenable music and I found it pleasant to listen to.

Yes, he made a generic song and has gained a measure of success for it. I haven't listened to it but I'm sure it's fine.

It's just that he turns around and shills it for a week talking about how we have to buy his song to fight the power and change the world.

Imagine that this guy, who was at Occupy Wall Street is saying we must challenge the corporate establishment by voting with our wallets.

It's just bizarre, watching professional activists turn into sell outs in real time.

I don't know what his end game is. If it's just money, he could go full pundit, full corporate shill, or full cult leader. Instead he's trying to do them all.
He starts off as this milquetoast pundit playing both sides, talking about skateboarding like all the cool kids half his age do,
to being a wannabe cult leader with a fucking compound complete with minions, yes-men, a cult hierarchy, livestock, and guns,
to trying to go BACK to being the milquetoast pundit, by adding a tiki bar and skate bowl to his compound,
and now he just won't shut up about his scuffed streaming platform and... this. It's like the worlds biggest midlife crisis.

Edit: Not to mention he was at Occupy Wallstreet when it was in full force. His values change at the mildest of whims.

Not to nitpick, but Occupy was a fucking decade ago. It feels like all of Tim's changes in opinion have been slow over long periods of time, but that might be the only one that comes to mind now is his stance on guns which went from "reasonable restrictions" to "I want my own gun range" over the course of years.
