    I am really curious if anyone’s mind is ever changed by a video like this.

    It’s not exactly hard to see Pim Tool is one of the dumbest people alive today and that he doesn’t deserve your time of day. I really don’t think there’s very many people that fail that check.

    You either care that he is an immoral sack of shit, or you overlook it because he is on your side of the aisle and is spouting more or less the right catch phrases so that I can overlook the clear garbage.

    That’s how I feel people must be thinking. I can’t have so little faith in humanity to think that a large portion of us is so guileless and clueless to think he is smart or genuine.

      My guess is no. And I suspect the Showdy isn’t trying to change minds, I think their intended audience is left-ish leaning people who have some awareness that Tim Pool is a dipshit but don’t know all the details. It’s a deep dive on a deeply unserious internet personality for the purpose of comedy and entertainment, aimed at people who already broadly agree with the conclusion.
