Tim likely has several double standards, I'd believe.

2018-09-15 05:10:52 UTC  

WE KNOW HE TELLS US ONCE A VIDEO

2018-09-15 05:10:54 UTC  

i think thats what he said anyways

2018-09-15 05:11:15 UTC  

well not everyone follows him every day

2018-09-15 05:11:16 UTC  

That's actually one of the things I don't like about Tim. When he claims to be on the left, it's rarely more than "I support X"

2018-09-15 05:11:30 UTC  

He never really backs it up or puts more than a couple limits on it.

2018-09-15 05:11:32 UTC  

But has Tim ever talked about his family's hardship under the Japanese Occupation?

2018-09-15 05:11:33 UTC  

i bet that stuff is mostly to tell single video viewers

2018-09-15 05:11:43 UTC  

^

2018-09-15 05:12:03 UTC  

probably

2018-09-15 05:12:12 UTC  

out of context it woudl be easy to take what he says and misconstrew it

2018-09-15 05:12:23 UTC  

Personally, I think Tim could do some debates with prominent right-wing youtubers. That would let him also defend an explicitly left position while keeping the vid balanced.

2018-09-15 05:12:27 UTC  

i think he toes a good line to keep himself out of trouble

2018-09-15 05:12:30 UTC  

It would also network a bit.

2018-09-15 05:12:32 UTC  

i dont blame him there

2018-09-15 05:12:51 UTC  

i think he has before

2018-09-15 05:12:53 UTC  

@TylerC Yes, and someone as prominent as him is in a position to get in alot of trouble.

2018-09-15 05:12:57 UTC  

maybe im wrong

2018-09-15 05:13:19 UTC  

but like i view tims understanding of race in general as just like weak, which i think he himself admits but like, nobody outside his situation really truely holds that. to me its disappointing because hes not afraid to be controversial or say uncomfortable things but on one of the biggest issues of the day its kinda stale

2018-09-15 05:13:22 UTC  

Subverse has some good interviews. But there's not any real "battle of the minds" kind of debates or anything.

2018-09-15 05:13:23 UTC  

oh well i guess

2018-09-15 05:13:54 UTC  

i just think at this point

2018-09-15 05:14:02 UTC  

I do think Tim also is one of those guys who always tries and play "center" even if it just means yielding ground.

2018-09-15 05:14:08 UTC  

the warriors of the culture war are getting long in the tooth

2018-09-15 05:14:13 UTC  

And not sticking to any consistent belief.

2018-09-15 05:14:15 UTC  

and everyone needs a friggin time out

2018-09-15 05:14:27 UTC  

Won't happen. Can't happen.

2018-09-15 05:14:48 UTC  

That's the point of the culture war. Fight until someone gets so exhausted they all just give up or are removed.

2018-09-15 05:14:51 UTC  

well like ive been fairly consistant

2018-09-15 05:15:01 UTC  

you arent wront there pratel

2018-09-15 05:15:10 UTC  

i used to be left, and now im right because ive stuck to a few core beliefs

2018-09-15 05:15:25 UTC  

mainly freedom of expression and speech which the right used to be opposed to but like... well present day....

2018-09-15 05:15:49 UTC  

Yeah, there were pretty major shifts around 2013 that have crystallized into 2018.

2018-09-15 05:16:05 UTC  

I don't think the shifts are appreciated yet.

2018-09-15 05:16:08 UTC  

My mom just texted me that she was telling her girlfriend (a survivor of the Las Vegas shooting who now owns a gun because of that) that I was telling her how I wanted a pellet gun for recreational shooting, and she said her girlfriend said she'd buy me one once I get my driver's license.

2018-09-15 05:16:23 UTC  

Nice.

2018-09-15 05:16:27 UTC  

How long were you on the left, Uregano?

2018-09-15 05:16:29 UTC  

ya i dont think i can ever remember a time where so much hubbub was going on about a friggin midterm election

2018-09-15 05:16:41 UTC  

since i was a child until 21

2018-09-15 05:16:48 UTC  

this is the first midterm i can remember where it was good vs evil

2018-09-15 05:16:56 UTC  

usually thats just the presidential shit
