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
π€£
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
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
that's exactly why I am trying to get in touch with him somehow
he should just try to make Joe aware about how to have standards
if Joe gets some balls and decides to challenge the big guys
I think Joe was afraid of Jack Dorsey
he could be pretty awesome
I would be
if I were in his position
Joe was not afraid of Jack
Joe is just Jack's bitch
he looks up to Jack
if he had standards
same difference, it all entails some level of driving emotion
