This is what's killing me about these assholes. For years I've heard conservatives complain about how soft-spoken people on NPR are and how bad they are to listen to, and they're going to recommend these people instead? Christ.

I do agree with Dan's assessment that he does need to pay attention to them outside of Alex, and I will listen, but... I'm going to need breaks, especially if he ever does an entire episode on Tucker

If any of you share my specific strain of brainworms (the kind that direct you to seek out commentary on all kinds of far right figures) and want some non-podcast reccs:

Youtube channels TimbahOnToast and @JoseBird do some excellent medium (jose) to long (timbah) form coverage of people like Dave Rubin, Tucker Carlson, Tim Pool, James O Keefe, etc.

Jose (whose vids are generally shorter-ish) covers other conservative detritus like conservative kids books/the original fiction tv series on the Daily Wire along with retrospectives on old tv shows.

I don't think I'd ever heard him talk before and yeah, that was a great example of some serious crazy but not immediately sounding like it, not like screaming or anything. Just none of the thoughts make any sense or connect together.

He did something similar where he wore a mask all the time while creating an album. He even lived in the basement of a stadium while working on it.

edit: ^ yep the mask/full body coverage is a pretty common style theme for him. Kim Kardashian wore a similar full body covering outfit to the Met Gala when they were still together and he had a lot of input in her fashion decisions

I'm glad that he only did infowars AFTER the big judgements came down - at least the additional exposure and probably money will go to helping the families and mostly not into Alex's pockets

I guess I'm exposing my ignorance of Ye, because that makes him sound like a big ol' weirdo but then I think that kind of jives with the general perception of him? I'm a near 40 year old White guy from Ireland and I don't think I've ever consciously heard one of his songs. I almost certainly heard some in passing or something, but yeah, he's well outside my bubble :blush:

That said, even as someone new to the pod I'm looking forward to the episode about this, just because I was already curious after hearing about the dinner how a discussion between a White Supremacist (which is how Fuentes is generally getting described) and any Black person they have to at least pretend civility with would go. Adding Alex to the mix, along with commentary must be gold.

It is consistent though, getting into open Jewish conspiracy is one hot stove Alex doesn't touch. Obviously the globalist thing is wink wink at it but there's a long history of shutting it down when someone straight up starts talking about The Jews on the show.

He somehow managed it with the Pim Tool thing.

Really we need get Jordan to just be like the intermittent control group for the alt right. We keep him isolated just to see his reaction at the reveal.

Yes, he is an unmedicated sufferer of bipolar personality disorder and he refuses to take medication for it or seek any kind of help

Famously he has also gotten mad at people for correctly diagnosing his manic episodes

And that is definitely his voice

Edit: anyone got a link to the knowledge fight discord? I see that they got some concerns when the trial was getting big, and nuked a lot of the links

He's been saying it since at least 2018.

quote:

Van Lathan Jr., a former TMZ employee, who confronted West during his 2018 interview at their offices in which West said slavery “sounds like a choice,” recently claimed on a podcast that West also made antisemitic comments during their conversation that the outlet did not release publicly. That’s why Lathan said his current comments didn’t surprise him.

“I already heard him say that stuff before at TMZ,” Lathan said during an episode of the “Higher Learning” podcast earlier this month. “I mean, I was taken aback because that type of antisemitic talk is disgusting. It’s like, I’m taken aback any time anyone does that, right? But as far as [West], I knew that that was in him because when he came to TMZ, he said that stuff and they took it out of the interview. … He said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis.’ Something to that effect when he was there. And they took it out of the interview for whatever reason. It wasn’t my decision.”

Alex's business model depends on constant struggle against an imaginary enemy that can only be fought by buying crap from Infowars. He's happy with anything to further that goal, but you can't just go and say the quiet part out loud. That just makes the victim narrative harder to maintain, and it doesn't make money.

I want to push back on this. Alex will reflexively mask the antisemitism of his guests and callers. He'll try to pivot away and keep himself clean, but "shutting it down" isn't an accurate description.
