Today Alex Jones rests at slightly more ease because somehow he was the voice of (somewhat present) reason and sanity for once in his life and all the attention is on the insanity of his interviewee.

I know Candace Owens tried to go with "Hitler was fine as long as he stayed in his borders" so there is a clue where he is getting it from.

Ye it's in another level. I can't tell if it scares or comforts Alex.

I think it's gonna be really apparent in the next month whether this rhetoric is boosted or rejected. It's the end game of Alex's bad faith free speech arguments so it makes sense that it intersects InfoWars. This aspect of free speech abuse is something we will have to reckon with every decade or two, I think.

Beware the Cow





I have to say I'm surprised Jones tried to say the Holocaust happened or at least implied it. Considering how much he "dogwhistles" (more like outright says it) about the Jews, you'd think he'd be a holocaust denier as well.

He might be, but saying that out loud is bad for his business. The whole point is not saying it out loud, but winking to the audience when you say "globalist".

In essence, yes. TX has a statutory cap on punitive damages as a way to curtail massive awards. In this case, the $44m or so in punitive damages was supposed to be reduced to $750k per plaintiff per cause of action so $3m in this case in total.

The judge said that this case is a perfect example of that law being unconstitutional and declared it as such. It will get appealed, though, and probably go to SCoTX. They may or may not uphold the trial judge’s determination.

Tunicate posted:

Per news reporting on today, it has to go through the appellate court for anything to actually happen about its unconstitutionality.

Weird what-if: what if the case doesn't get appealed? Like, I know Jones will want to appeal... but are his lawyers gonna continue sticking their heads in the woodchipper? If he's on lawyer 17 now, at some point, there might not be any lawyers left that will take his calls.

Would that leave the law in limbo where it's not struck down because this judge doesn't have that authority?

We don't know what he really believes, but this is one of the rare areas where he's smart enough to stick to the dogwhistling and keep the quiet part quiet.

he arranged this interview and also hooked milo and fuentes up with kanye, he knows exactly what's up and has no problems with it

id guess he told kanye something along the lines of "say whatever you want, i might not agree onstage, but I'll let you say whatever"

it gets the messaging out, and he gets to have a thing to point at the next time he's accused of being antisemitic

None of that has anything to do with if he thinks the Holocaust happened or not though. He could think it happened and was a great idea. He could believe it was fake. We don't know because he knows better than to say it on air.

If I had to bet I'd guess he at least thinks it's overstated, if not outright fake.

I assume due to a troubling attention span nobody has gotten around to telling Ye how Hitler ended up.

Ye read that Hitler in his final will and testament blamed his downfall on the Jews and took that at face value no questions asked.
