There's something so special about Alex Jones. Maybe it's the insanity, maybe it's the voice straight out of Wrestlemania, maybe it's the exuberance, maybe it's the whole package together.

He's a parody of himself, an escapee from a fictional world, and these memes banish him back from whence he came.

as an entertainer he is remarkable, it's just that he uses his considerable talents for evil. i'd sentence him to be executed, but i'd do it with a tear rolling down my face. it didn't have to be this way, Alex.

It's sad that the gay frogs thing was a real case of the truth being suppressed by a conspiracy, but he had to go off on it as being gay agent stuff instead of chemical company just willfully harming people and animals for profit.

The two Danish racists who lured a black man out into the woods to beat, stomp, strangle, stab him with red-hot fire irons, crush his testicles with clogs, fracture his skull, break his tibia, fibula and hyoid, and sever sinnew and bone in his hands, resulting in 39 distinct injuries and death, did not commit a hate crime, according to the prosecution. One of the perpetrators has a swastika and the words "WHITE POWER" tattooed on his leg, but they knew the victim socially before torturing him to death, so it can't be racist. They face a minimum of five years in prison.

Same country that considers black people marching at the front of a BLM protest a form of white genocide.

Sure, kill all whiteys, whatevs. But pretending that loving prison abolition is bad because one White dude you hate didn't go to jail for long enough, while millions of Black people (the majority of prisoners) suffer and die and are beaten and shot and used as slave labor for the glory of the prison-industrial complex is a real galaxy-brained nuclear shovelbum take.

i'm a big fan of capital punishment in some situations but here's the thing. i would rather a hundred murderers and rapists go free or receive "lenient" punishments than one innocent person be executed for a crime they did not commit. so as much as i would like to see certain bastards get what they deserve, you have to recognize that such a system would inevitably end up destroying many people who committed no crime, especially in a racist shithole like the united states.

Those bad actors are inevitably the people who benefit from the prison system. It is not possible to use it as a tool against them, because they are the reason it's so bad. Where do you think they get prison guards from?

Prison abolition doesn't necessarily mean the end of all prisons just like "defund the police" doesn't necessarily mean the end of all cops (though it should). It primarily means the end to discriminatory or oppressive prison pipelines and systems, as well as defending the rights of both accused and convicted. Incorrigible monsters can still go to prison. Turning a blind eye to obvious hate crimes is not prison abolition, or the rehabilitation model. It's a miscarriage of justice.

The fact that you're even asking this question means that you're either bad faith making GBS threads on prison abolition because you really really fear inner city youths coming to your town or you think that prison abolition means that there's no laws and everyone can do whatever they want without consequence.

If it's the former, no one should engage with you in good faith, if the latter, a quick Google search will reveal a half dozen intensive policy documents describing what that would look like, which I would encourage you to read over.

Simple point: what you're asking is the literal JUST ASKING QUESTIONS cop lover response to prison abolition, so I sincerely hope that you're just not familiar with what prison abolition actually is. If you want to have a good faith discussion, don't jump to the first GOTCHA question in the Thin Blue Line toolbox.

I would argue that sometimes he’s a good entertainer but what you are seeing are moments cherry-picked from thousands of hours of brain-meltingly boring horseshit. He’s actually really bad at his job only punctuated by moments of manic stream of consciousness tirades that approach art in terms of pacing and psychedelic ludicrousness.
