Originally posted by Bashar TegExactly, I think the thing is as others around the internet have said. Tim presents himself as one thing, whilst clearly being something else. He sits at home presenting right-wing views in a favourable light to his core audience Millenials and gen Y, white young me, many of whom cannot get laid (perhaps like Tim).

What are his right wing views?
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 actually 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 still have my tinfoil hat on for this one. Not buying the narrative put out there. His death is obviously too coincidental.
Claiming it’s unfair to call British anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson “far-right” because he is actually a centrist.
Depends on the context. If by centrist, he means that Tommy is in the middle of Brits, a centrist, he could be right (ha! pun!). From what I know of Tommy, he's a bit too xenophobic and conservative to get a centrist label. He's a right-winger, in my nigh useless political-science-degree-holding opinion.
Claiming that the left has “become psychotic.”
This is 100% true. Not all leftists, though. But so many that it's becoming a problem.
Accusing media outlets of lying when they claim that people crossing the border are seeking asylum.
Why would anyone state that? People seek asylum in the US on nearly a daily basis. However, an extreme majority of them are NOT seeking asylum. So if that's your point to counter-Tim, you're wrong because almost no one is seeking asylum that tries to cross.
Praising the pro-Trump “NPC” meme.
I don't remember this. But The NPC meme is very good at characterizing the leftards and their Trump Derangement Syndrome. That one guy who makes the Campus Reform videos where he interviews moronic young adults with TDS is a great example of this NPC behavior.
Supporting voter ID measures because “Who doesn’t have an ID?”
Along with many Democrats and liberals, I also support a national ID that can be used for many different things such as voting. It's part of my Anti-Corruption Act package. It should be issued for free to everyone. But conservatives and some idiotic leftists keep blocking this national ID thing.
Accusing the mainstream press of lying about Trump and Fox.
Minus the Fox part, that has been proven thousands of times, now. This is not debatable. Most Democrats wouldn't debate this point, either. Even a majority of Democrats doesn't trust the Mainstream Media anymore.
Claiming that there is no merit to any claims against Bret Kavanaugh.
Some claims had no merit, yes. Not sure about all claims.
Claiming that he is “pro-choice,” but only if there are “life-threatening” issues for the mother.
I was reading that this was a pro-choice position. That there is no third-kind of position. If you allow abortion to be legal, at all, you're automatically in the pro-choice camp. That makes Mormons (LDS) pro-choice, as well.

Yes. And by the way the video where he talks about the "when I come home from work" thing, what were your specific critiques about his views expressed in there?
