guess I didn't really mean outraged, but he's often waffled on stuff and people constantly say "oh, maybe now he'll <change X belief>", but he never really does
He has become a bit more nihilist "We live in hell!"
yeah, definitely
I mean, he constantly says that he thinks that a civil war is inevitable now
He's been black pilled, not really red pilled.
not sure how much of that is him drumming up viewers and how much is real
I like that Tim doesn't change his opinion on some topic, people (even who watch him) want far to much conformity (no matter the side). Tho i do also agree Tim has some points i'd like him to learn more about to understand better.
I agree with you, actually
I like having him as my lefty source of news, and then Styx is my libertarian paganist source.
I just find it funny that there IS something that he changed his mind on (and honestly, of every view that he holds, this is the one that I actually would have hoped he'd change his mind on, because he was way too forgiving of extremely blatantly malicious journalists)
Yep.
If all journalists lost their jobs tomorrow, I think Tim would see it as a social good, and I would be in agreement. It needs to build up from the ashes to adapt to the new medium.
I'm never one to push for that. So many people think they can just rebuild things better, like its so easy......
But we do indeed have a problem that needs some corrections (maybe more).
Yeah I am not for "burn it all down" broadly, but certain aspects of society, if they did have a collapse it would be for the better of everyone.
CNN layoffs had me giddy.
Sucks for the folks working there, but I know a lot of them are morally bankrupt, so layoffs could not happen to more deserving folks. I feel bad for their kids though.
The market is enacting its justice.
I don't see that as justice. Its not like the bosses go anywhere, CCN could easily hire more staff back down the road to do the same thing. That CNN stuff while maybe nice to see, it still doesn't change how these companies will keep pushing a narrative.
I wouldn't mind if some of those's places went under, but i'm not sure how much of that would fix anything.
There is no magic bullet, but money lost, bad actors discouraged, and the occasional individual opening their eyes to reality, it's all iterative. It's just like how we got out of the Satanic panic.
Future dystopias will come, that's guaranteed, humans do not learn, but we can get short breaks inbetween.
I wouldn't say anything is guaranteed. But that's the point i guess, no one knows.
Tim needs to catch up; Gettysburg was a year and a half ago, and only now realized Sumpter got shelled.
@grant that Jesse Phillips lady basically told that guy that he doesn’t get to pick and choose which equality is enforced. She effectively told that guy he has no choice and that she’s in charge

^the full podcast is worth a listen
Poofter pedro here is complaining that fox news is basically a propaganda machine for the right and that the left doesn't have one.
Even in their made up gatekeeping metaphor the journalist take the talking points from the democrats
Right. They want to be the gatekeepers.
They want to control what we see.
The piece basically straight up says they want to be able to ignore republicans and have bias against them
Pretty much.
Also on his benghazi thing I like to know who went to jail or got punished for it. oh that's right no one
They are basically saying that all the concerns over Benghazi are just conspiracy theories
Which is ridiculous.
they also say in the piece they shouldn't have covered the email server
It’s literally the job of the media to scrutinize everything the government does. Not sweep it under the rug.
she literally got away with a crime other people went to jail for
Yeah. Let’s not forget the blatant omission of how Hilary basically rigged the primaries.
