It won't, Crowder's numbers are cratering and I'd be legit shocked if Alex's fanbase made the transition to paywalled content.

Maybe this was covered in a KF episode but... How is Alex allowed to work behind a paywall for another garbage platform after losing the lawsuits? Surely Crowder can't pocket profit from hosting him, any and all money should go to the Sandy Hook families.

It's the "LL" in the "LLC" bit. Alex's companies are liable, not Alex himself directly. I'm sure there will be more court time devoted to his weaseling. stringless fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Aug 9, 2023 |

Yes, he and his companies were found to be one and the same in terms of liability. Crowder can make money off of an Alex Jones show, but any share Alex Jones gets of that will be subject to the same garnishment, seizure, etc. as the rest of his assets.

Again, the ball is in the bankruptcy court's... erm, court. The thing is, if Alex was doing this to gain a new source of long-term revenue, the court might actually allow him to go through with it in the hopes they can collect from it. The problem is that assumes Alex to be a good-faith player in the process, and Alex can't not be a sneaky snake. He views the bankruptcy process only as a means to stiff the Sandy Hook families, not as something he would have actual responsibilities to. The possibility that none of this is above board is essentially guaranteed. It's just a question of when we find that put.

Yeah, the other parties must be desperate at this point, if they're willing to group up with Alex. A man who is in the habit of commiting massive and financially disastrous libel. And has an unresolved ongoing bankruptcy that's liable to lead to all sorts of legal shananigans for them to get sucked in.

Yep, I was just assuming from the very moment it was announced that being on Crowder's show/in his studio was just a way for Jones to launder money away from his bankruptcies, and because Crowder is desperate after all the abuse he leveled on all his staff and anyone else in his life.

Morroque posted:Again, the ball is in the bankruptcy court's... erm, court. Yeah, I think Dan even brought it up before that there can be a perverse issue where the court wants Alex to find more work and keep going since he needs to earn money for them to garnish. You can't really get a court judgment for "I want you to gently caress off." If it's just a regular salaried position then there's not much to do other than garnish the wages. But given how things have gone so far, there's a non-zero chance that they didn't actually hire Jones but instead contracted with a brand new Alex Jones media company for a new show in a way that will spectacularly fall apart in 3 to 6 months.

Mercury_Storm posted:On the contrary, the episode covering Alex's supercomputer that develops silicon beings to replace biological life was pretty funny, and made me think that he was referencing the plot to Chrono Cross or something lol. I'd be way more likely to listen to that as opposed to Tucker screaming about Ukraine or whatever. Which ep is this? Didn't see anything like this in a description.

Can’t wait for it to come out in bankruptcy court that Alex asked to be paid in bitcoin. And Dan’s right, the eventual crowder/jones fallout will be incredible.

It's #832: July 26, 2023, but yeah I'd agree that the latest one with the Q-Shaman was insufferable, mainly because Alex just let the guy keep talking and occasionally piped in with some incomprehensible upper-fueled bullshit of his own.

There's simply no excuse to me. You have to be dumber than dogshit and actively looking to make yourself stupider to believe weirdos like the Qanon shaman and their word vomit. Vibrations in reality are feeding us to the evil mark on Saturn? The gently caress?

I've taken hallucinogens a buncha times, esp in the vulnerable years Dan sort of alluded to and read enough poetry and philosophy to basically get what he was saying... Or trying to say. But like. It's still wrong and dumb. I think the whole leyline and rice analogy is interesting. We're all rice grains bouncing and aligning to the fundamental frequencies on the plate that is existence. It kind of eliminates free will though... Causality and coincidence make certain places important. Planets come to be because of some strange cosmic whirlpools. It's all fractals maaaan and our reality is just one version of the formula and changing the exponents and coefficients has chaotic repercussions. The leyline problem is a chicken and egg one... Was Paris founded on the Seine because of cosmic determinism or was it just practical and became seemingly cosmically important after the fact. Maybe fate and frequencies made the earth and Europe and the Seine form in a certain way and we truth channeling humans are uniquely able to tap into that fateful construction. In the end, even we are just part of the resonance pattern. *passes blunt*

For example, Mars is hot and dry, so if you are born under Mars in the zodiac, you will be an aggressive person. You got hit by Mars waves while born. I just did a little TurboNerd jaunt into the history of science and the pre-Socratic natural philosophers, and Alex and his ilk make a little bit more sense to me, now.

I remember last time the Q-Shaman was on and Jones kept putting stuff down for him and he refused to pick it up like: -Tell the audience how Pelosi personally led you into certain hallways -What the gently caress you talking about? We kicked rear end on the 6th and it was all us, not an antifa in sight. Now he fully understands the "Vibe" of conspiracy talk shows, where the host speaks their bullshit, you nod, then you speak your bullshit and they nod. Plug your book/project, shake hands, rinse repeat as necessary.

Hey, at least they could keep a calendar with that poo poo. There’s a whole ‘saving the phenomenon thing’ I won’t bore you with. Newton refused to believe the moon controlled the tides because only astrologers believed the heavenly bodies effected things on earth. So many weird recursive ironies. Anyway, point being, I’m not trying to condone or negate Alex’s dipshittery, I’m saying he has a real Iron Age idea of how the world works, be it from upbringing or mental illness. Everything around him has hidden meaning and intent and it scares the hell out of him.

I like how during the most recent ep they just skipped past dancing around the issue and said he was clearly on coke during his announcement. They never focused on it but I heard so many hard fast sniffs during the middle of his run on bullshit.

Yeah there's a moment where you might think you know everything in the universe, or at least more than anyone else who isnt tripping. The reducing valve has opened. Smart people realize that's ego creeping back in and laugh like an insane person at the absurdity. People who can't recognize or escape their own ego start religions around it and start writing manifestos.

He'll scream and shout and make a spectacle of wanting a drag out fight, but always find some excuse to never actually do anything notable. I don't know enough about Crowder to have any real opinion, but if he's like Alex then he's probably a blowhard with no actual interest in an actual physical confrontation either.

Getting to the end of the most recent episode, yeah, Nigerian scam emails were also commonly known as 419 scams, because that's the section of Nigerian Criminal Code that covered it. There were plenty of other similar scams, but if it was claiming to be from Nigeria or requesting things be sent to Nigeria, yeah, it was from Nigeria.
