So, people can't be red pilled and change their minds? That's a pretty myopic stance to take. Personally, I'm all for people waking up and coming over to the good side. We need more of it.

You're implying that OAN, Real America's Voice, NewsMax, etc. are not major? Not to mention all of the conservative right leaning podcasts such as PBD.....these right leaning news and current event streamers are reaching millions of Americans and the Gaslight Media and illegitimate regime are concerned.

Are these types “becoming Trump people” or have they sat back and realized the biggest threat to the world is the path the leftists in power are taking us down?



Neither.

They saw a large group of dumb people that will give them massive amounts of money.

You can’t wrap your mind around how a Tim Pool or Joe Rogan can go from a love and peace/tax the rich Bernie fan to a “holy frick the leftist machine is becoming too scary to ignore” Trump voter?

Neither major nor legitimate.

And how, pray tell, does Google use that on its text-based home page?

Joe Rogan is fine. He has always been left to center left but I respect his takes.

Tim Pool is a total grifting clown. If you listen to him or believe a word that idiot says, you are very dumb.


AT THE VERY LEAST, he should have no say in our primaries or voice even the slightest opinion on them. People like him haven't earned that right.

Talk about policy or whatever you want, stfu about our elections.

Eh

That wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if that’s the case. But I think they see what the left is doing as THE threat facing Americans and they want to be part of the resistance to it.

ETA: I’ve listened to a total of MAYBE 60 minutes of Tim Pool in my entire life, fwiw.

It's kind of all self-fulfilling at this point, isn't it?

If biased information is "interference" then this forum is "interfering" in the 2024 election. That's asinine.


You're right. It is 100% asinine to equate bias on a tiger droppings message board to a huge company like Google controlling, censoring and manipulating biased information hundreds of millions of American voters that use their search engine and other features every day have access too. It's totally the same.

They've certainly shown that they're good salespeople when given the pitch that resonates.

Is their sincerity in your take possible? Of course.

The problem is so many false idols have jumped on the same grift only to fall down, to be overtaken by the next one. Remember Toni Lahren? Milo? Jordan Peterson (who fell hard and has made a little recovery)?

There are people who actually fit into this mold, but to actually articulate and communicate the issues without debasing themselves into grifter hackery means they don't get popular. You want a liberal-leaning person who has raised issues with Progressive ideology? Look at Gad Saad. Nowhere near the reach/notoriety as a guy like Tim Pool.

Just from what I've observed the last few years SFP. what you post on here vs what is going on internally on your side might be 2 different things.

Now I'm not in the group that thinks you should be down voted with every post, but some of the messages and feedback you give do seem to have a slant (which is okay because you're a human on a public board, with your own opinion and views) and there is no problem with that at all.

I'm just saying from the view of a major new outlet, there shouldn't be a slant or bias in reporting, but it seems even you agree, there is one.

We don't need MSM sources when there's a literal army of citizen journalists doing the heavy lifting in the desert of legitimate reporting.

Being anti-idiot talking points doesn't make me a Leftist

That's just echo chamber stuff creating in/out dynamic, as if laughing at Patriot nonsense makes you a Leftist

I spend a lot of time explaining how things are, or legal stuff, but because it doesn't conform with emotional-based expectations of anger and outrage (promoted by the echo chamber and charlatans provoking the emotional response), it's leftism.

I mean I am called a leftist for pointing out Trump's literal Leftism (spending, tariff policy, anti-2A policies, etc.)

His defense has been "these matters have been *speculated* on by folks on the internet, but they never had *proof* like we are providing." What he fails to acknowledge however, is that putting the whole puzzle together based on what was initially an unconfirmed source dropping crumbs *claiming* insider status that's later validated years later by hard proof that's been uncovered eventually only lends more credibility to the anonymous insider source, since they were directing folks over the target right out of the gate.

The problem is that many of them are idiots, repeating talking points they're fed by bad actors, or grifters like Pool.

The only reason some nuggets of truth gets through is volume.
