Yea, but considering the whole thing

2019-03-06 22:20:35 UTC  

I thought he did well

2019-03-06 22:21:06 UTC  

Don't forget Tim is a fashionable socialist and a bernie boi

2019-03-06 22:21:15 UTC  

It wasn't his podcast and he was talking to the CEO of twitter. I am sure he didn't want to come across as too argumentative or "crazy"

2019-03-06 22:21:27 UTC  

He just happens to have a few principles he manages to stick to around free speech and journalistic integrity

2019-03-06 22:21:31 UTC  

He's a true believer in those things

2019-03-06 22:21:38 UTC  

@Dick Dastardly™ The dude is left leaning. That is why I was surprised he went as hard as he did

2019-03-06 22:21:54 UTC  

He earned a bit of respect in my book for that

2019-03-06 22:22:30 UTC  

He seems like an OK guy but I can't respect him because he's a socialist

2019-03-06 22:22:55 UTC  

What's more is he's a smart person so he ought to know better

2019-03-06 22:23:04 UTC  

@Dick Dastardly™ I respect him for his unwillingness to back down against free speech

2019-03-06 22:23:17 UTC  

Lots of smart people are socialists

2019-03-06 22:23:46 UTC  

I can praise a dude for a thing he did without condoning him in his entirety. That's was the left can't do

2019-03-06 22:23:49 UTC  

A socialist cannot truly be in support of free speech in the long term because socialist societies cannot long tolerate freedom of speech due to the economic consequences of their implementation

2019-03-06 22:24:06 UTC  

They must necesarily control the flow of information in order to preserve power and preserve belief in the system

2019-03-06 22:24:35 UTC  

An amusing irony considering the fact that the U.S. has become more socialist over time, in a de facto manner in regards to policy

2019-03-06 22:24:52 UTC  

Cuz wahmens vote

2019-03-06 22:25:07 UTC  

So you see this encroachement on freedom of speech and property ownership happening but he doesn't make the connection I think

2019-03-06 22:25:45 UTC  

Bernie bois beleive in a puppies and ice cream socialism that has never and can never exist

2019-03-06 22:26:08 UTC  

@Dick Dastardly™ I'm not sure he is a rabid socialist. I don't actually know his politics nor do I truly care. I just wanted to give him a little praise for standing up to the CEO of twitter for three hours over their shitty policies

2019-03-06 22:26:26 UTC  

He's not rabid, he's fashionable

2019-03-06 22:26:27 UTC  

Name a socialist country that is currently thriving.

2019-03-06 22:26:45 UTC  

I just think he doesn’t know enough to be more right leaning

2019-03-06 22:26:57 UTC  

I was center right before mgtow

2019-03-06 22:27:01 UTC  

I think if he grew up in a genuinely socialist country he wouldn't be socialist

2019-03-06 22:27:15 UTC  

@Dick Dastardly™ That 99% of socialists

2019-03-06 22:27:18 UTC  

Socialism is just communism anyway, it just takes longer to fail

2019-03-06 22:28:11 UTC  

I'm not discrediting his good work, I'm just pointing out the paradoxical nature of his beliefs and his actions I suppose

2019-03-06 22:28:42 UTC  

Communism goes against human nature.

2019-03-06 22:28:46 UTC  
2019-03-06 22:28:58 UTC  

George Orwell had a similar problem to take a historical example

2019-03-06 22:29:08 UTC  

@[chase dreams] idk about all that

2019-03-06 22:29:36 UTC  

Communism is against nature, society is too to an extent, but so long as your society fits within the boundaries of nature it can last endefinitely

2019-03-06 22:29:48 UTC  

Communism goes against evolution and nature nature, not human nature

2019-03-06 22:29:55 UTC  

Does the death of 250 million people help you consider that communism is against human nature?

2019-03-06 22:30:28 UTC  

I say it goes against human nature because humans are, by nature, greedy.

2019-03-06 22:30:45 UTC  

What you say doesn't make sense @Nawalter Jizney because human nature is a product of evolution

2019-03-06 22:31:37 UTC  

I think "self-interested" is a better adjective than greedy

2019-03-06 22:31:40 UTC  

Capitalism motivates people to reach their financial goals by working hard. If you invent something under communism, you get nothing for it.

2019-03-06 22:31:45 UTC  

Greedy is too subjective

2019-03-06 22:32:22 UTC  

Sometimes if you invent something under communism you get killed for it
