I'm glad to help. That's an interesting take though, that his stance is noble. I don't think his stance is noble but perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
That is true, but he also lost my respect after all that investment. He transformed into, or perhaps always was, a person who would not see the truth, and such a person can, through a long but definite chain of causality, lead to the total corruption of their society.
I wrote this in a separate comment here already but I'll repeat it here.
The fact that he chose to not see or speak the truth is what turned me off. It's that sort of behaviour that erodes your character, your society and your soul, so that by the time you realise what you've done you're in the cell of a gulag, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, with other well-meaning people, trying to figure out just what it is that you did to deserve this fate. He went over his life with a fine toothed comb and discovered that what led him there was his choosing not to speak up about it when he should have. (I learned about this from Clinical Psychologist Jordan Peterson, who speaks at length about Solzhenitsyn and the Gulag Archipelago, the social mechanisms for the rise of totalitarianism, and other topics of that caliber.)
For Tim Pool, he has all the means necessary and the opportunities to make the right choices, and yet like the RINOs of the GOP he chose not to make that choice. He places too much value on what he has already built and is not willing to risk it all for something much more important, the truth. I pity those people who will be led down a false path because of this choice, but they too might share that same flaw.
