I have to agree this man is the most milquetoast political commentator I have ever seen. At least Razorfist has that whole edgy 80s aestethic going for him.

I don't necessarily hate Tim Pool's commentary. Pathological attachments to headwear and inconsistent opinions aside, he's by no means the worst news broadcaster I've seen. He has a fairly decent capacity to make cogent arguments and his voice (until recently) isn't grating enough for me to avoid consciously listening to.
The only thing I can seriously fault with him is that he's ultimately one person who can only provide information through the lens that he perceives the world through. That's honestly not even that egregious of a fault tbh. The big reason why I fell off from the Timcast is equal parts getting off social media so I no longer have any people who regularly share his videos in my life and the fact that my areas of interest in terms of news coverage aren't what Tim usually covers. These days, I'm more concerned with Central and South Asian geopolitics along with Indochinese affairs in continental Southeast Asia. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I damn sure don't think Tim Pool's ever done a deep-dive on shit like the Pakistani ISI's involvement in Afghanistan after August of 2021, droughts along the Mekong River, or Iranian proxy conflicts potentially being brought over to Afghanistan as the Iranian government looks to curry favour with a new potential ally in the Taliban. If I really wanted news about the stuff Tim covers, odds are that I can find an A&N thread with an archive of the original source so that I can read it and come to my own conclusion or do more research if I feel compelled to.
Honestly, anyone who's sincerely retarded enough to put their trust into a single journalist, news broadcaster, or shitposter posting archives in A&N probably should do us all a favour and self-terminate to save the gene pool from any further harm. Tim's a decent enough guy on his own, but I can't fault others for getting sick of his shit.

Started watching Tim Pool's content when he went to Sweden, now he is in a rural compound with a chicken coop webcam raking in the dough. That is one heck of a career trajectory.
Combine that with lawsuits from lunatics like Rocco, the cat-napping by Emily, the endless CIVIL WAR talk, & it all makes for a good chuckle. Most coming from Tim's incompetence at management, who he hires, refusal to go on-the-ground out of fear his scalp will be exposed, & narrow-minded fixation on what he sees as right.
Also, Ian. I unironically love how Ian can swing from bedrock-level based takes on how Neo-Nazis have a point
or how to make chlorine gas
or go off about graphene, DMT, whatever. Back when I watched the IRL show, it was always a treat to see Ian just start talking about a subject while Tim seethes in the corner, no one paying attention to him. My one regret is that Adam Crigler did not get Ian in the divorce. The two of them had good chemistry, Tim just seems angry with poor Ian.

Tim Pool has some really hot takes, don't worry. You just have to listen long enough for him to let his guard down and say what he actually thinks instead of what he carefully steps around saying.
Here, I've even got it time-stamped for you. 6:25
"But I also met with this guy named Gareth Morgan and his wife. They had taken a motorcycle trip through North Korea and the DMZ and we got to see the footage. And they showed us how pretty the country was - or I-I shouldn't necessarily say the country, because Korea is the country, they're just split, you know, in war as it stands".
Now, Tim has said controversial shit before like "I think everyone should have nuclear weapons", but when he does that, usually he's a pedantic asshole about it saying "Here's why my stupid idea is actually true if you redefine words and take things from this perspective". This was not that. This was Tim correcting himself as if you or I had said, "Oh hey, let's go to the bar, they have Trivia Night on Tuesday - oh shit it's Wednesday, isn't it?" Like that. As if stating that North Korea and South Korea are actually one country is a totally normal stance for people to take. I understand that some geopolitical fuckwit might turn around and adjust his glasses saying "Akshually the armistice has been going on for -" blah blah, we get it. But regular people, real on the ground people like Tim claims to be, we know that Korea is two countries. They have the most real, most physical border separating them in the entire world.
When you hear things like this, you start to understand why Tim says shit like this:
Once again, time-stamped for you. 15:00 in, Tim Pool, who is best known for being an anti-war leftist who takes a hard stance against us being in Ukraine and antagonizing Russia, turns around and says that a war with China to protect Taiwan would actually benefit the US economy. Completely out of nowhere, he has never talked about the war and the economy before at all. This clip is so incredibly out-of-character for Tim it actually sounds like he is controlled opposition here. But really, he is just worried that if China expands and takes Taiwan, it will help North Korea conquer South Korea, and he is willing to sacrifice American lives to stop that from happening despite him never living in South Korea and probably never having even visited it. So he's a Korean supremacist, which is likely only exacerbated by the fact that he is a Half-Asian Piece A' Shit. And he has dual loyalties to his homeland, which might explain why he gets particularly ass-mad every time someone talks shit about Jews on his channel as well.

He also out out that cringy “don’t burn this book” where, like Tim, he pretended anyone actually thought he was dangerous.
The one thing I like about Tim and Ruben is there unlike Crowder, neither of them think they’re funny and don’t spend the entire show going off on “comedic” tangents that just sound like annoying rambling. Crowder with “jokes” is even worse than rekeita’s ADHD.

I can't watch Crowder's show because of the "comedy" but when he does stuff like Change My Mind it's pretty good.

Yeah that's a good point. His character of that Breakfast Club 80's rocker gives him a lot of cover

So here's an interesting question, because of the recent happening in the public sphere you think Tim will cover it as he builds himself up as a tech and anti-censorship type of guy, or will he avoid it all costs because he's afraid he'll lose shekels if he mentions that what must not be named?

Neither. He called us "Kivi Farms". I think he just legitimately doesn't know or care about the site.

Kiev Farms, now hosted in Russia.
But on a more serious note I think this is something Tim should care about given his MO and positions, not because of KF itself, but because of the greater context of what it means for digital freedom, especially for a guy like Tim who has been targeted by the same groups in many cases and created his own site as a backup to deplatforming, though now his site is just as easy to deplatform as his channel due to the precedent set by this.

I would agree and I think Tim probably would care about it if it were on his radar, but Lucas is Canadian and fled to Ireland. I don't think Tim is going to pay any attention to any articles about it.Kiev Farms, now hosted in Russia.

I meant Cloudflare, Lucas himself doesn't matter, and really he's just a tool the journos found convenient. If Tim is a tech guy, he should be aware of major internet services making such decisions even if he doesn't go into any specifics about KF or other parties involved.

Aye, right up his alley, what with Minds.com, his own site to share videos on topics he cannot post on Youtube, opposing internet censorship being one of his big things back when I watched him, etc. We can see in the coming days if Tim says anything on the matter.

Hm. That one is trickier. Cloudflare gave a statement and then immediately turned around and did the opposite. And no one knows why. I guess Tim could report on the facts, but other than that it would just be baseless speculation.
I mean, personally I'm thinking either Visa or MasterCard got involved and threatened CloudFlare, but I don't have any evidence.

As of now Taiwan does serve as an economic interest for the world, since they're the main chip manufacturer and we depend on them. If we can get our own chip factories then Taiwan is a non issue. He's mentioned going to Korea before and how he was taller than everyone else and experienced racism there, which I also did when I went there.
Funny how Crowder is easily more recognizable than Tim yet he goes out and talks to people. And some of those discussions are interesting because I remember seeing some leftist guy try and defend troons and it was obvious he didn't believe it but just repeating the mantra. It's insightful
The article he read misspelled the name so I don't blame him. But his brother, @ItsReactor, knows about this place and if Tim had balls he'd fly Jersh out to the compound and have Lydia eat in front of Jewsh and maybe even brap on him.
