Trump does it

2020-12-04 22:38:08 UTC  

"Clear as day."

2020-12-04 22:38:30 UTC  

K bud

2020-12-04 22:38:40 UTC  

He clickbaits his videos for sure.

2020-12-04 22:38:50 UTC  

But that's like, something everyone does.

2020-12-04 22:39:11 UTC  

The idea that he's portraying to be something he's not though is kinda amusing, not going to lie.

2020-12-04 22:39:35 UTC  

That’s not the only kind of grifting.

2020-12-04 22:40:05 UTC  

You could have no real personal stake but still thrown in your own personality every now and again

2020-12-04 22:40:07 UTC  

Barr is gonna get canned next 😅

2020-12-04 22:40:14 UTC  

But if you don’t see it you don’t see it

2020-12-04 22:40:21 UTC  

Oh, so we're diluting the term 'grifter' now as well.

2020-12-04 22:40:26 UTC  

No

2020-12-04 22:40:57 UTC  

There is no diluting of the term

2020-12-04 22:41:02 UTC  

You are.

2020-12-04 22:41:08 UTC  

No

2020-12-04 22:41:17 UTC  

The idea of being a grifter came from being a swindler.

2020-12-04 22:41:21 UTC  

A con-man.

2020-12-04 22:41:37 UTC  

You can have different gradients of personal beliefs and still play to a crowd

2020-12-04 22:41:57 UTC  

So are you claiming that you know what Tim Pool is thinking?

2020-12-04 22:42:09 UTC  
2020-12-04 22:42:38 UTC  

I am claiming he is inconsistent in his outrage and only slants right and makes excuses for them. He markets to them because he knows that base well

2020-12-04 22:42:55 UTC  

And that pays well so why change

2020-12-04 22:43:00 UTC  

... sounds like you're describing being a partisan.

2020-12-04 22:43:07 UTC  

Where is the grifting coming into the picture?

2020-12-04 22:43:17 UTC  

Like I said if you want to live in a fantasy that you just take people at their word fine

2020-12-04 22:43:18 UTC  

Because you **think** he doesn't hold these views?

2020-12-04 22:43:33 UTC  

By that same measure, Pakman and Destiny are grifters as well.

2020-12-04 22:43:43 UTC  

it’s because he is inconsistent with his stated views

2020-12-04 22:43:50 UTC  

How so?

2020-12-04 22:45:10 UTC  

What he believes is irrelevant, for example he will take a particular action on the left and give reasons for not liking it but then never addressing it if it happens on the right. He knows if he ever takes a critical angle of the right he would lose support

2020-12-04 22:45:23 UTC  

It’s not a hard business model to follow

2020-12-04 22:45:24 UTC  

That's literally being a partisan.

2020-12-04 22:45:27 UTC  

How do you know what he believes?

2020-12-04 22:45:28 UTC  

Not a grifter.

2020-12-04 22:45:38 UTC  

While claiming not to be @Maw

2020-12-04 22:45:49 UTC  

What he believes and presents are completely relative.

2020-12-04 22:45:58 UTC  

If you're going to call someone a grifter.

2020-12-04 22:46:12 UTC  

He reads the daily mail articles and just supports everything it says without being critical of it

2020-12-04 22:46:15 UTC  

He doesn't care about catering to his base, his base comes to him. He's invited dozens of people who disagree with him on his podcast.

2020-12-04 22:46:22 UTC  

... aka, he's partisan.

2020-12-04 22:46:26 UTC  

He knows his audience just agree with them and they will give you money
