Tim Pool is certainly more of a liberal than someone who thinks it's acceptable to use violence on someone for having the wrong opinion.

Do you have a link to it? That would defo clear up the rumors.
Which examples? There's only one and that is the moron envelope bomber. Every other instance on this site, it turned out to be correct and people like you were wrong.
Zimmerman
Brown
Smirky Boy
Trump getting elected
Jussie case
You don't learn.
Don't be mad because you're falling for demonstrably provably wrong narratives because you're being gaslit by antifa (again?).
The puncher, a member of antifa and someone who assaulted someone else at a previous rally, was arrested already. It made the rounds on the internet, today. Unless you're tryin to gaslight Surt and co. to troll, there's no excuse for this kind of ignorance from you.

Early 20's didn't like someones attitude, called them on it, beat them up then beat a friend of their's up who was going to get me two days later... Enjoyment and well worth it. Both ended up in casually.
To the people who told me as a kid that beating someone up is only a short term solution and you will regret it the rest of your life: they are definitely wrong. There is nothing more satisfying than burying your fist into someone's fast who has wronged you or harmed you until you've had enough. The triumph of knocking them out and they lay on the ground in the "fencing response" is extremely satisfying. This is not from a desire to do violence, this is a desire to get revenge from being wronged. It is a basic human desire for justice.
Note that I have never ever attacked someone, unprovoked. It was only in retaliation and self-defense after being targeted repeatedly. And I've never gotten into a fight since I was 17 (outside of sanctioned events in MMA matches which lasted only 6 months before I quit because I was too cowardly to risk permanent injury after seeing my sparing partner and good friend get his arm snapped in an arm-lock).

You're a "liberal" like Tim Pool am I right.
He is and so am I according to the very well done political compass test that we took. He's a bit more liberal than I am, though.
A liberal is all about freedom and choice. The current leftist movement in the US are not comprised of liberals. They want to limit freedoms, increase regulations (on both the individual and businesses), and restrict rights. That's the opposite of liberalism. It's authoritarian Leftism.

Tim Pool rose to notoriety for live-streaming the Occupy Wall Street protest in 2011 and later investigating the supposed existence of “no-go” zones in Sweden in 2017. But Pool’s reporting has shifted in recent years. He rarely posts street footage now, preferring to offer commentary on various news stories in videos released each afternoon. He describes himself as “centre-left” and, usually in brief asides, notes his dislike for Donald Trump. But Pool’s insistence that he supports liberal policy doesn’t match with the rest of his content. A quick scroll through his last 100 videos shows a preoccupation with criticising the left. For example, there are around ten videos critical of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. There are zero videos vital of Donald Trump.
Isn’t a real liberal allowed to critique the left? Of course! But one would expect some criticism of the Trump administration or Republicans in Congress. I decided to see what Tim Pool thought of the Trump administration’s child separation policy — a story that brought the left together in condemnation. The only video I found on his main channel was a story complaining about media coverage. Not a good sign. Maybe Pool was covering what he thought were more important events? Here are some of the videos he published while the family separation policy was in the headlines:
“Why Affirmative Action is Racist”
“Conservatives Are Winning the Red Hen Battle”
“Why Liberals #WalkAway From The Democratic Party”
“Are You Ready for the Second American Civil War?”
Again, not good. But maybe Pool thinks that child separation is good policy. Perhaps it’s no big deal to him that the government cannot reunite the families of asylum seekers. After all, he could be a liberal with slightly different priorities.
Priorities such as:
Stating without evidence that Seth Rich is “55–67%” likely to be behind the 2016 leak of DNC emails.
Claiming it’s unfair to call British anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson “far-right” because he is a centrist.
Claiming that the left has “become psychotic.”
Accusing media outlets of lying when they claim that people crossing the border are seeking asylum.
Praising the pro-Trump “NPC” meme.
Supporting voter ID measures because “Who doesn’t have an ID?”
Accusing the mainstream press of lying about Trump and Fox.
Claiming that there is no merit to any claims against Bret Kavanaugh.
Claiming that he is “pro-choice,” but only if there are “life-threatening” issues for the mother.
I don’t know how one could consider Tim Pool a liberal after looking through his content and listening to his views. His audience seems to agree. They are almost exclusively people who identify as conservatives. Some of them write interesting comments:
Screenshot of comment on Tim Pool’s YouTube channel.
Now, I don’t blame Tim Pool for the violent fantasies of his viewers. And I will note that there were many responses to that comment that argued strongly against the use of violence. Then again, there were 200+ people who thought the comment was good. And that’s the issue: his content attracts the right and even the far right. It attracts them because that’s what it is designed to do. Tim Pool claims to be an “independent” journalist, but he is dependent on views and donations. Consciously or not, this dependence drives his content.
Let's go through that stuff:
“Why Affirmative Action is Racist”
Affirmative Action is racist and always has been. That's not a controversial opinion. Its very design is racist on purpose. It can't work unless it is specifically and intentionally racist. That's what Affirmative Action is.
“Conservatives Are Winning the Red Hen Battle”
It's true. What's wrong with this title?
“Why Liberals #WalkAway From The Democratic Party”
That's why Trump won the 2016 election, though. And still, more are walking away as time goes on.
“Are You Ready for the Second American Civil War?”
This is not only a serious problem but the DHS is running simulations and table top exercises regarding this because polarization is reaching a boiling point.
"maybe Pool thinks that child separation is good policy"
No mention of the paternity and maternity tests to prove that these children were being trafficked? Why not? Why would you fail to mention this is one of the reasons children are getting separated from their NOT parents? Seems pretty important to point out that children are being trafficked at rates between 1 out of 2 and 2 out of 3 (that's 33%-66%). Why doesn't this make the headlines? Why isn't this what everyone is talking about?
"Claiming that the left has 'become psychotic.'"
The left has become psychotic. Why do you think the US has a plurality of independents, now? Why do you think people are leaving the democratic party so much, these days?
"Praising the pro-Trump “NPC” meme."
It's a great meme because it captures the acolyte-like approach the leftards have towards Trump and the GOP.
"Accusing media outlets of lying when they claim that people crossing the border are seeking asylum."
Yeah, how dare he point out the human trafficking, sex slavery, and drug trafficking being, correctly so, the far more likely reasons people illegally cross. The asylum program is quite fast to go through, legally, and is one of the only things that works well in the immigration system. If they want asylum, they can get in quickly by following the proper process. It's almost 100% not the case every time they claim it was for asylum.
"Supporting voter ID measures because 'Who doesn’t have an ID?'"
And I support this, as well. But I also support free Government ID measures with it.
"Accusing the mainstream press of lying about Trump and Fox."
This is not even slightly controversial: happens all the time. It's rampant.
"Claiming that there is no merit to any claims against Bret Kavanaugh."
There are none. It was partisan character assassination B.S.
"Claiming that he is “pro-choice,” but only if there are 'life-threatening' issues for the mother."
Yeah, that's not pro-choice. That's pro-life with an asterisk.
I can tell you the reason why a person would type all those up: they don't like how Tim Pool consistently destroys the idiocy of the authoritarian left while also espousing liberal positions. That person is likely a Democrat and they are buttmad. I would be too if I was in denial about how crappy the Democratic Party is.
