not for Tim but for Joe

Tim is Blacked Pilled. He just can't stop loving Buzzfeed and the Democrat Party

So

I had a long chat with Tim Pool about the progressives

I made a framework for him

build metrics today and try to live them tomorrow

He used to self identify as progressive

then he shifted to called discerning progressives as regressives

and he finally came to terms that his ideology is fundamentally broken

no u

Tim pull is odd. He promotes leftists, denounces rightists. But when leftists go wrong he is suddenly a fence sitter.

I've noticed that.

he wants to believe in the old idea that he still remember of the left, but that left was just illusions and lies

he's a left-centrist

Not sure what Democrat party he is chasing

don't be a mean person

Tim doesn't know where he is

Is it mean though?

he wants to be a progressive

but he sees all the logic flaws and tries to be reasonabled

he's too BIG BRAIN to be a Progressive

he is nothing more than a sane leftist

🤣

I get it. We all want to hold on to something we thought was good in our past. When it turns out it was shit it kinda leaves you in a spot.

of course ... the left today is gone

so he keeps on being borderline Trumpist

not his fault

I think that Dawkings is the greatest guy to break divide

Tim is consumed by leftist ideology

he stumbled into the reality against his will

he is still being a great guy .. while fighting against reality

I think he's experiencing cognitive dissonance in a way that will probably bring him further right/libertarian. What I mean by that is that I think he has an idea about how government *should* work for the people and how it could really work to make things better etc and thinking "why can't it be this way?". Then that ideal gets juxtaposed with the reality of the insurmountable level of corruption in government and that all centralization creates a "honey pot" of power that attracts the worst people in society.

Tim is already really good

I think his heart is in the right place but hasn't had his eyes opened, yet, to just how inexorably corrupt government makes people

as long as he keeps his standards ... he is really good

he needs just to make up his mind on what he wants to believe in

yeah, as a journalist goes he's great

I met him when he was still a progressive

so I followed up his development
