Why do so many people like Tim Pool? His content is insufferable.

@mewmew
He might be bad, but insufferable? Nah, he's still 10 times better then TV news, so you have to consider that.

He also tries to tell the news in the most centrist way he can. The fact that he throws one unsupported assumption after another is not the best way of doing it, but as I said, He's still much better then almost any news comentator.

(btw, I don't like him too much either, but if I were to rank him from all commentators I know of, he still is in top 5)

In other words, I need news and I want to understand what do these news really mean. Since I have the condition, that I must never catch them in an obvious malicious lies or intellectual lazyness, that leaves only a few youtubers left. If I were then to rank them, I cannot think of even five people to beat Tim. (BTW, his enlightened centrism is both his greatest weakness and strength. While I disagree with him, he is a rare combination of an enlightened centrist (TM) and not a totally ignorant idiot.)

@LukeAlmighty sure, but how do you even put him in the top five!

@mewmew Because I have a seriously strict condition for a "total disqualification" from my watch list. While sargon might be arrogant, he still covers the news and tries to go into the details without something I would consider to be intellectually dishonest behavior.

On the other hand, I do not care at all about your manners or socially acceptable standards. I don't mind listening to the most offensive of people as long as they have some point.

I might be missing something. What is your problem with Sargon?

@LukeAlmighty He lies all the time, he can't read, he spreads misinformation and his goal is to get people outraged about non-issues.

@mewmew
"his goal is to get people outraged about non-issues"
Could you give me an exaple of this behavior? I seriously doubt this point.

Btw, just so you know, I really want to know. This was the exact reason I completelly disqualified Computing Forever.

@LukeAlmighty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9E2iEi6vMY is a good example (though you may not like the way the video's presented, you can see how Sargon is clearly looking to be outraged about something that really... isn't a problem)

@mewmew
I am looking at the video right now, but I am 9 minutes in and I can say, that this is the EXACT reason I am watching him.

He reads an article and says HIS opinion. The fact that his opinion might come from a wider context and does not accept the leftist assertions the article was build on is a REQUIREMENT instead of a mistake.

And now, let's be honest. People are not reading articles. Normies ARE forming opinions based on the title, so it is important to see what people will see instead of what were the scientists actually researching.

Still, thanks for sharing your opinion.

@LukeAlmighty His opinion is uninformed and pretty inaccurate though. And if people only read the title of an article instead of the contents, that's their problem. Wanting your news source to be uninformed is shooting yourself in the foot.

@mewmew
I wanted to finish the video before writing another comment, but again, I disagree with you here.

The video you posted was full of racism, hot takes and misrepresentations of such a magnitude, I have no idea how could you have chosen it as an exampe, but I can only argue against the things you've posted.

And about the content, he was reading it, but you can clearly understand from this, that the intended message was so deluted in (I hate to use this word) triggering material, that that material became more important then the message the shaun saw in the article.

"Wanting your news source to be uninformed is shooting yourself in the foot."
Come on... You know this was a dumb hot-take don't you?

@LukeAlmighty what are you even saying here?

> Come on... You know this was a dumb hot-take don't you?

That seems to be exactly what you want.

Look, you can stay inside your right-wing echo chamber if you choose to, but pretending it's unbiased is ridiculous. You're not intellectually curious because you watch someone whose best argumentative tactics are talking over people, being unable to read a full paragraph, and sending gay porn to people on Twitter.

@mewmew Since what started as a civilized conversation ended up in a usual name-calling, I think it's safe to end it here.

What a shame, I really thought you will say something important.

@LukeAlmighty @mewmew What are you talking about. All these people ignore facts constantly and misrepresent the other side. If you get any of these guys to talk about Leftism, Socialism or Fascism it's nothing but lies and misrepresentations.
