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

[UY 690]

Sounds like a lot of hoopla to me!

Also what the fuck is with this lame ass shit of suing everyone to get what you want.

Sounds like it's a breach of contract. Suing somebody for breach of contract isn't "suing them to get what you want"; it's holding them to their agreement. I don't give a shit about Tim Pool but this isn't crybully behaviour (although it might be a grift).

 

[Ivan Shatov]

I'd appreciate if someone wrote a summary. Not sure if everyone would like to listen to Tim squeezing that ad revenue for 15-20 minutes straight.

Updated the original post with summary.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

It's most likely a grift. Tim Pool would have to pay me money for me to donate and that money would've been used for something else.

This time they will really own and trigger the libs.

Well then I guess its better situation than I was thinking, but a lot of these types still like to always wanna sue like a fat soccer mom in a mid life crisis

yes

He probably doesn't get very much of an active workout now that he is spending his days vlogging from a webcam instead of actually walking around protests and demos to get raw footage

Tim Pool is raising money to sue a theater in New Jersey
Summary:
Tim's group was able to find another venue but lost 500 seats of capacity.

Could Tim even get a big enough audience to need those 500 extra seats? Honestly curious cause I can’t imagine dozens upon dozens of people flocking to hear Tim’s lukewarm take

More power to him though I expect this to go as well as his legal recourse with his Subverse brand

 

[Ivan Shatov]

yes

It's more polite to say aging skaters are "riding the longboard."

He sits in a chair 7 days a week and makes 3 or 4 videos of himself reading news. Is that supposed to make you slim?

My understanding is they had to turn people away. So perhaps.

Tim Pool is raising money to sue a theater in New Jersey.

Summary:

• Tim Pool organized an event at the Broadway Theater of Pitman.
• Antifa threatened the business for allowing the event to take place.
• In response to threats, the theater cancelled the event.
• Tim's group was able to find another venue but lost 500 seats of capacity.
• Tim is raising money to sue the theater. The goal is $250k, anything in excess of legal fees will be used to hold "bigger events."

Personally, sounds like a grift. They want to raise $250k and use the money for a lawsuit and whatever's left will be used to hold "bigger events."

That doesn't really seem fair if they refunded his fee and gave him enough advance notice to find a new location. The theater didn't want to get burned to the ground or bombed. Surely it's Antifa's fault for sending threats, not the theater owners for being concerned about safety? I hate this bullshit too, but it seems like he's going after the wrong people. Maybe he's frustrated that this stuff gets reported to the police and the Antifatards either get away with it or get off with a slap on the wrist, so he's lashing out at someone he can actually attack.

Or maybe it's a grift like people are saying.

 

[MadPreacher1AD]

Well this seems like a gigantic grift.

Also what the fuck is with this lame ass shit of suing everyone to get what you want. How about you stop being such a little pussy who tries to go after everyone's money and physically go there to protest. You know get some people together and set up a demonstration.

"Bake the anti-racist event cake, racist"

In this case, it's a breach of contract lawsuit. It's something that I would agree with since the theater backed out of a contract due to Pantifa's hostility.

He only had 12 days to find a new venue, that's not a lot of time.

It's odd for him to ask for $250k without specifying how it will be used. I get that he wants to put on more events, and I get the spirit of the original one. I'd be more confident if there was a plan, maybe to do events every 6 months, maybe a list of people they want to invite, maybe specific topics for the next round of events, etc.

But he's trying to build an events business and hyping it as a reaction to social justice. The grift is that he's asking people to invest in his business without an expectation of a financial return justified by this encounter with ANTIFA.

There is something called social entrepreneurship, where the return on investment is achieving a public good. Which is a form of investor activism and perfectly fine. Tim's asking for social entrepreneurs without clearly stating it, he's appealing to people's emotions without letting them in on the broader picture.

Events are expensive. To invest in a project like this, I would want to know what happens with the money, the corporate structure, if anyone is taking profits from the business, who the organizers are and what they are compensated, etc.

Two things.

1. Your waifu Tulsi isn't watching your videos you annoying fence sitting fanboy. What kind of ego do you have that you even think that.

2. He has been asking for an editor for his videos on his griftermobile channel and suspiciously isn't mentioning if it's a paid gig or not. He says you have to be okay with traveling and "going on adventures" which means he is basically saying hanging out with him is the payment. Somehow that is even worse than paying in exposure. If he has to panhandle for a lawsuit and beg for money every video I doubt he can afford paying an editor.

And being a breach of contract suit its very easy to come up with a figure of how much the theater's breach cost Tim. 500 people times the ticket price, lost merchandise sales, additional fees prepping the new venue, increased rental fee of new venue, etc. This is not a $250k lawsuit. This is, at best, a 10k retainer for a quick settlement with the theater.

I have nothing to say about the damages asked. I just pointed out that this is a breach of contract suit.

I agree. I don't know if Tim is trying to grift or not, because I haven't been following him too closely lately, but if Tim is going to sue anyone over anything then shouldn't he sue Antifa members for tortious interference like what's going on with Weeb Wars and Meyer v Waid?

The grift is demanding $250k to fund what should be a fairly routine lawsuit. The value of the suit is probably around $25k, so he should be spending substantially less than that on legal fees. I don't know where he got the $250k figure from, but its fucking insane.

As for whether the theater is the "correct" target: of course it is. Tim and the theater entered into the contract. The theater breached the contract. The theater's breach cost Tim [X] amount of dollars in lost revenue and higher and additional costs. Tim is legally able to seek recovery of what the breach cost him. This is all routine business stuff.
