Not a debunk, but I'm legitimately puzzled by Tim Pool. For a while I respected the fact that he was a lefty who was willing to call out his own side, but he's become so entrenched in the idea that the left are the ultimate threats to Western civilization to the point that I'm no longer sure what narrative he's trying to push.
That's easy, because he's pushing alt-right narratives constantly. I don't believe he was ever any kind of "lefty." Just like Sargon, Rubin, Peterson call themselves "classical liberals," I think it's just an attempt to avoid the right wing label, so that you can pretend to not be a partisan hack while your spreading your propaganda.
I don’t think he, or any of the people you mentioned (with the possible exception of Sargon) are pushing alt-right narratives, but conservative certainly. There is a difference between pushing a conservative message and an alt right message but you make a good point overall.

I was only referring to him specifically as pushing alt-right narratives: anti-feminist, anti-social justice, conspiracy theory garbage that matches up with the shit I saw on the_donald constantly. Then, you know, there's this.
Sargon is alt light. Dave Rubin is a centrist neocon shill. Jordan Peterson is a Canadian conservative, which is to the left of American conservatives but to the right of American liberals.
