The "Couple Goes to Middle East To Prove Evil Isn't Real" video on the Timcast* channel is entirely fake news. I'm really surprised he didn't look into it more.
They kept a blog here: http://www.simplycycling.org/
They never said any of the quotes about evil not being real, they didn't set out to tour the middle east to prove humans are good.
They quit their jobs to spend a couple of years cycling around the world because they love cycling. They worked for 7 years to be able to afford it.

At no point in their blog do they cream about the goodness of people, in fact they detail problems they had with locals always asking them to stop for photographs and how they had to ask people continually to leave them alone. They just wanted to cycle, and Tim seems to have blindly gone along with the article as-written without putting in literally the two minutes it takes to skim their blog, which you can find by googling their names.

There's no ideological language used, there's no highlighting of the brave, good people they meet along the way. It's just a group of friends cycling, because that's what they loved doing and it's disgusting to see so many people cheering their deaths because of what they 'probably believed'.
100% fake news.

@Timcast I've been a fan for a long time, please consider looking into that cyclist story again, because the version shared is really inaccurate.
The video's comments are a huge circle jerk of self-righteous hatred for dead people who aren't even cold yet, based on opinions they never shared or even demonstrably held.
