    I wish they would have had more articulate people in that group. Tim Pool’s arguments in general fall apart under logic. The civil war stance especially.

    Everyone was so caught up in pointing out the authoritarian stuff going on under trump that none of them actually addressed his claim. He’s going to go back to his platform to keep doing the same thing he’s always done, but they gave him sound bites to feed his base.

    Any civil war requires resources and logistics on two sides that can equally appose each other. I would have liked to see someone push back on how that happens in an authoritarian surveillance state. I’d even grant him ‘unrest,’ but civil wars are is pretty much impossible. It’s just a matter of logistics. No group can realistically organize to military readiness to challenge current regime. They’re purging the military, setting up a surveillance state, and have been recruiting by way of ICE at least. This says nothing of the military hardware and training that is held at the federal level.

    I get it, he would have just cut in and used half truths but it’s hard to bullshit the obvious. Unless you’re screaming.

    I couldn’t watch this all the way through. Maybe it’s a moderate thing that they couldn’t be more articulate. or maybe the 20 were just awful picks for this.

    They never do though. I’ve seen one try to fake it for over a year before they admit it. Fucking pathetic and women are swearing off men because of them.

      He’s married with a child.

      That specific talking point is because he’s one of those obfuscated friend to nazis.

    No, clearly he’s a “moderate”. I was going to include the screenshot, but initially this video was titled 1 moderate vs 20 liberals or something stupid. Now it says Tim pool. He got fucking owned by the way.

    he coulda got laid 25 years ago when that woulda been the attire of the dude at your local hardcore/emo show.

    nowadays if you’re wearing a skully on a podcast you come off as a bald, conservative loser.

    don’t take this as a criticism of bald men. but he has enough money that he should have been able to mitigate his condition in some way above and beyond the average joe. we live in a time when perfection is expected of public figures.

    if he’s bald he should at least own it to rebel against these dumb social norms. even as a conservative he’d come off as inspirational but instead he’s coming off as an insecure fuckwit. stephen miller is a dickhead but he has some confidence at least. maybe that’s why he gets laid, even if it’s by a self-hating indian.

      So Stephen Miller went on TV with hair that he spray painted on. The reception was merciless. People mocked him for years. That’s the only reason he’s trying to be a proud bald man now. Inside he’s crippled with insecurity, like the rest of them.

      I mean, he is literally ALWAYS wearing it like it’s emotional support attire. You can practically smell the desperation. I went bald early too and went bright pink 2 foot mohawk (which is funny cause I’m super tall, so I was super super tall on special occasions) for a year or two, then just started shaving. I think it’s because I’ve matured, but I’ve had more romantic luck while shaved than when I had a full head of hair.

    There’s some very bizarre phrasing here.

    “It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being x” implies some kind of entitlement, as though women should be shared out equally by some women dispensing system.

    He’s really just saying “women do not find x appealing”.

      Have you seen that website that gives you the % of a population (of your desired gender) that meets the criteria you want ?

      Turns out for someone like me that basically put “everything with a pulse around my age (24-32)” resulted in a stupid low percentage, like sub 2%. Imagine on top of that I added “and conservative”. I would bet that number goes to 0%.

      These conservatives are falling for their own propaganda and think that there are white young blondes in the millions that are willing to be a trad wife.

      I’m not sure that’s true.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being a hermit.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being lost at sea.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend because of my curse of invisibility.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend as a patient with locked in syndrome.

      “Women like having rights and i want them to make me sandwiches.”

      Conservatives and incels loooovvvveee to feel entitled to things personaly, which is kind of crazy because you’d think theyd support socialism in that case. Socialism distributes resources evenly, so in the dystopian end game where women are still treated as objects, every man would get 1 woman. Meanwhile the capitalist equivalent requires you to provide something of value for trade, which many of these men simply do not have

        The older I get, the more clear it has become that the defining distinction between conservatives and progressives is the field of people you care about/consider worthy of concern. The broader you are concerned for the rights, well-being, and advancement of other people, the more progressive you are. The more narrow your concerns for yourself and your immediate connections, family, and friends, the more conservative you are.

        It is why conservatives discover concern for LGBT rights after decades of rejecting them once their kid comes out. It is why “I have a black friend” is such a common refrain among the conservative crowd to avoid accusations of racism (because they probably genuinely do have concerns for their friend’s individual wellbeing, even if they don’t give a shit for black people at large). There is an awesome black dude that has reformed many KKK members just by becoming their friend so they actually care about a black person now. It is also why they think that Capitalism is the ideal form of economy, as the very principle and justification of it relies on the notion that all humans are inherently selfish and will accidently improve others lives just trying to generate profit for themselves. They do not feel true altruism for other people, at least not those who aren’t directly tied to themselves or that they do not see as being like themselves. Everything that they consider normal and typical from their own limited experience should be the default, should be protected, and anything that interferes with that, threatens that, or challenges their perception of that should be vehemently rejected. They literally cannot put themselves in someone else’s shoes, and suggesting they try is an attack on them.

          You’ve kind of blown my mind with this.

          I think there’s a number of different perspectives that can explain conservatism but this model can explain a lot of behavior.

          In particular this part:

          Everything that they consider normal and typical from their own limited experience should be the default

          That’s what I realized after COVID and Trump. The people I had as friends started to show if they cared about others in general, or just their own immediate circle.

          But there is a blindness in their reasoning, that makes otherwise intelligent people fall for propaganda.

          One family member talked about leaving Canada to move to Texas with their daughters. That one blew my mind.

      Some kind of incel Communist where women are supposed to be commonly shared like the famous toothbrush.

      Or maybe something more marxist leninist incelism, where women are distributed by the state.
