While wikipedia cites only 2 sources here, because you cannot spam sourcing infinitely, there is an overwhelming consensus that Tim Pool as an person is right-wing. His online presence also skews right-wing to far-right.
He is self-described as center left and a moderate, Congressman Ro Khanna said that Pool isnt a conservative (ie right wing). He has been affiliated with a menagerie of political organizations and events from libertarians to occupy to conservatives. Bgrus22 (talk) 07:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Views section begin with: "Like several other 'alt-right gateway' or 'alt-lite' figures, Pool presents himself as a disaffected liberal to convey authenticity"? Shouldn't views first be described, including a history of changes with self-identifications first, before interpretations by commentators and scholars? Isn't this first sentence too far removed from a neutral point of view? Marcin Rychlewicz (talk) 23:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing how the content is "opinionated" or not neutral. It appears to be taken directly from a well-written, peer-reviewed article, published by an academic journal of the American Sociological Association, which also cites four other studies regarding "alt-right gateway figures". – notwally (talk) 19:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ivermectin - "known to be ineffective" with no citation?
I want to discuss this statement:
When Pool contracted COVID-19 in November of that year, he told his audience that he was prescribed and had taken Ivermectin, known to be ineffective against the virus, along with monoclonal antibodies, an effective treatment.
This statement is a bit broad without citation. When was it "known" and to whom? Isn't it still the official standing of the FDA that there is a lack of evidence to recommend for or against using it as a treatment for Covid-19?
One could certainly cite a number of studies that show it is ineffective, but it seems like an unnecessary detail beyond that Tim Poole was using an experimental treatment (in line with many conservatives). I think the relevance is how the treatment aligns him with others in the conservative movement, conspiratorial thinking, and using experimental treatments over and above medical professional recommendations.
It seems more appropriate to say either that it was not approved as a treatment for Covid-19 by the FDA or EMA. Or just say that it was largely determined as ineffective by leading medical researchers. Or some combination thereof. I cannot do any edits myself as I have only ever done 1 edit.
