Hey, on all accounts agreed. I do like to poke a little fun at him - actually the term "milquetoast fence sitter" is one he has used to refer to himself before! So my guess is that Tim is a pretty smart, self aware type of guy and knows his own flaws as well as we do.
I hold no grudges or ill will. I do find him a bit annoying at times but hey, comes with the territory. We all have stuff we do or say or think that isn't gonna jive with everyone else all the time.
Funny enough, I was replying to a post earlier and making a similar point about Glenn Greenwald.
I personally really enjoy Glenn and I've been following him a long time. I'm one of those who got here via a long road of being semi-conservative normie in my early youth, then turning libtarded for a while particularly out of a hatred of the Patriot Act and neoconservatism (which sent me and my friends to bad places and some of us never came back) before going to college afterward and discovering Ron Paul between Economics lectures.
Glenn has always had a really authentic principled stance against Establishment infringing on civil liberties - he published Snowden after all, and I have NO DOUBT if he hadn't gotten out of the country that Obama would have crucified him or he would have "had an accident" (R.I.P. Michael Hastings)
It really impressed me that he left HIS OWN NEWS COMPANY HE FOUNDED because they wouldn't let him publish his story on the Hunter Biden laptop too. That takes some guts, to walk away from your own thing that you started but now has gotten beyond your control... he had courage to stand up for what was right and not cowtow or be embarrassed about anything.
I have been watching his show since it started airing about a month ago on Rumble, its called SYSTEM UPDATE. I like the alternative message it offers and the range of guests - Glenn is a left wing populist mostly but I think more than others he steers away from engaging in things that will be off-putting to right wing populist folks.
For example Jimmy Dore loves to criticize Trump and overplay his actions as though Trump is just another neocon. Krystal and Saagar and also Kulinski used to kiss AOC and the Squad's asses for the smallest little stances and protests and turn a blind eye to their complicity and weakness falling in line with Pelosi and the establishment.
The same with Bernie, I mean what an AWFUL FUCKING SELLOUT he has become, its sickening actually. So many people believed in Sanders for reasons that were similar to Trump - the authenticity and principles. It's hard to imagine Bernie gave in to their bullshit, it was a horrible betrayal actually.
Anyhow Greenwald has said he likes to emphasize what right and left wing populism has in common rather than focus on divisions, and indeed many people here could watch his show and enjoy it. They would see eye to eye on a great many topics he covers - that explains why he is on Tucker Carlson so often among other things.
I think Greenwald can be similar to what Ron Paul was for me at a younger age and help to influence some Millenials and younger ones still in college who ascribe to being Dems but feel off about some things or don't entirely believe what they are being told is true. People like Glenn Greenwald can access those folks that our movement cannot, until they stop being lost and find their way. He's helpful to our goals is what I'm saying. We ALL need to wake up, regardless of where we are now or where we started.

In that spirit I'm going to link to this episode of SYSTEM UPDATE last night. Greenwald makes some absolutely fucking hilarious jokes about Biden and his Corvette. Hope anyone reading will give a listen and enjoy!
