I'm really glad to hear them spend so much time and be so thorough about how everything Alex, and those like him, says is just meaningless lies and should be ignored for the contradictory, irrelevant, bullshit conversational camouflage it is. I dearly wish more and more sources would stop chasing their tails trying to decipher the lies and just point out that the cruelty really is the point and gently caress these people they're hateful bigots.

The issue with that sort of reporting is that it only "works" once, its not profitable to keep saying that yeah the cruelty is the point.

Mauser posted:I would prefer that reporting refer to Alex Jones as a dick pill salesman in the headlines I think that kind of monikor would strike the majority as both harmless and somewhat humorous, if not actively endear him to a good few people for becoming successful as a "dick pill salesman" because as much as everyone hates being on the receiving end of a scam, a lot of people can still admire the hustle of a grift so long as it's not something that is actively awful. And framing Alex as just as a "dick pill salesman" doesn't highlight just how awful he is, so most people won't know it. At least framing him as a bigot and/or religious zealot (I originally mispelled that as zealout and think that pun is much more accurate now that I've looked at it; both for matching "lout" to the word zealot, and because it reminds me of the word sellout, which seems appropriate too) will leave even people who only skim the headline with that impression, which is almost universally agreed to be bad.

I was working for a company that tested pharmaceuticals and over the counter stuff up until the end of last year. Hims contracted us to do testing on their boner pills, and i was learning a new instrument. I was really confused for a little bit while dealing with their pills because all i was getting was sildenafil(viagra), sugar, and something else. The something else was a flavoring agent to make it minty, and the pill was like 20 milligrams of sildenafil in a 500 milligram sugar pill They also had a sildenafil(levitra) pill, and a vardenafil(cialis) pill, all of which are only sugar pills with a little mint in it Edit: i would be more interested in a quaid-themed mobile game than actual raid shadow legends

Lemme just say that between the fallout from Wrestlemania, the AEW announcement, friend of the show Tom from CogDis revealing that he once wrestled CM Punk on this week's bonus episode of their show, and today's episode of KF, it has been a tremendous amount of content this week for us KF fans who also are wrestling fans

Kind of wonder if this most recent episode was where Alex just came to accept that his audience were loving morons, just going off on a rant about it kind of like Bill Cooper started doing. Except instead of staying true to his ideals like Bill did he just went into full tilt boogey into scamming people in the most extreme ways possible.

Goldbuggery is itself a form of scam. Goldbuggery requires the scamer consider their targets to be easily-manipulated fools, as it belongs in the "bigger fool" style of financial fraud, much like cryptocurrencies in the modern context. So long as he was in partnership with Midas Resources, he was always scamming his audience. This applies even to Bill Cooper as well, who was also in partnership with minerals sales, and used the same sales-tactics as Alex later did. This means the only time Jones was likely ever not scamming an audience was during the public access days, but we cannot even be certain of that. What you were looking at was only a moment where he broke kayfabe, revealing a likely-already-extant distan of his audience.

The pitch guy on the last show who talked about about being 'Into Gold' for 26 years now leapt out at me. You know for every one of those years he'd have the same pitch about society and the dollar being about to collapse and Gold soar in value 'Any day now, it's coming soon!'. Year after year.

You want its future value in booze, bullets and guzzolene while they're content with planning to die in the initial apocalypse or play chicken with it a little longer  . Or they're just patriots and that's why Alex recommends them  . There actually was a fun take on that in the show Jericho. They send out the new merchant-lord kid of the village who helped the daughter of the supermarket's now-dead owner consolidate power and dragged all of her silverware and expensive poo poo up to the big trading fair that they heard about. Only to get mocked that nobody wanted their useless stuff and that silver would get them thrown out because people were afraid that it had soaked up radiation. People wanted medicine, booze and they really, really wanted salt. Parakeet vs. Phone fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Apr 10, 2023 |

If New Austin uses gold as their only currency then the first man to figure out how to make his own gold-imitation paint is the first billionaire of the post-apocalypse, you need minting facilities to verify the gold's authenticity and stamp the king's face on coins or everyone has every reason to assume it's fake DarklyDreaming fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Apr 10, 2023 |

All the talk of movies being prophetic in that episode makes me think they don't actually believe that "the globalists" are behind some insidious plot in film scripts, and it's more that more that people like Jones and Pool are profoundly uncreative and lazy idiots who need content for their lovely shows, and might as well crib it from Hollywood material and pass it off as intellectual.

Laughed pretty hard after hearing Alex tell this story about someone trying to give him 10,000 bitcoin in the early days when they were worth nothing and waxing about how it could have been worth $600 million had he been able to figure it out knowing that he would have kept none of it and still been $900m in debt.

The 3 possibilities assuming (and that the story is real) he'd kept it. 1) Lost in the Mt Gox rugpull. 2) Hard drive with codes dumped in landfill after he'd forgotten about them. 3) Most likely. A while later he hears "Say people are paying a buck for those bitcoins now!" and is immediately ka-ching! Makes 10k. Which TBF is the reality of what almost everyone would have done, myself included.
