Not food related, but I've always wanted to get one of those Exit the game advent calenders. My only worry is I'm busy enough that I'm gonna miss multiple days at a time.

It’s a treat, not an obligation. If we’re sharing nerdy rear end millennial ways to treat yourself : have you tried one of those giant wooden kits that makes a rubber band machinegun or a globe or whatever?

The old episodes where Alex does his Gingrich impersonation are so jarring. Edit: Also lol at listening to FO episodes again and Dan worrying about praising Mark Bankston, citing Beto as a reason. Pennsylvanian fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Dec 20, 2023 |

The thought of Alex Jones as intellectual forebear of the maga movement in a theoretical trump 2 presidency a la karl marx for the russian revolution Is horrifying on a visceral level

The 30 minute stretch where Alex is forced to fill time until they can get Stone on is pretty good by modern Alex standards. Jordan: Have you ever told a story about yourself to yourself?

Lying about being important, probably. The concept of an Infowars presidency isn't too far off truth though. Only thing I would likely argue with about the thought is that in the wider right wing infosphere Jones is just one of many sources all peddling the same bullshit instead of being The Man.

Even if Alex isn’t directly responsible for much if anything personally, trump’s closest advisors are all folks who adore the jonesian mindset, like stephen miller, steve bannon, jason miller, stephen cheung… A 2024 trump presidency will absolutely be the infowars presidency, even if AJ has no real power or influence.

Stephen Miller was an out white nationalist and has been basically his entire career. Yeah they'll have overlap but to call it a infowars presidency feels like you're buying into Alex's myth making to a degree when really this just just the same insane incomprehensible madness of racist reactionaries that has always been. They're part of the same crowd but they're not shaped into Alex. The far right has always been full of conspiracy freaks and losers using it to push and barely mask racist agendas. I mean Alex's entire deal is cribbing from previous insane right wing conspiracy groups and ideologues like the birchers and general anti-communist and satanic panic poo poo. This isn't the right conforming to alex this is them just being what they always were on the far edge. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Dec 30, 2023 |

This interview episode is pretty good. Guest seems knowledgeable and she and Jordan have a good rapport and he's genuinely into their work. Except when they go off on tangents where they just list Kanye albums and song titles to each other. None of that means anything to me.

I really enjoyed it as well, and honestly, listening to those tangents just makes me think they should do a music podcast together

It is so exhausting listening to Alex spew the same Sandy Hook trial talking points again and again. If I've heard it this many times through KF, god know's how many times he's actually done the rant. HE must be getting bored of it by now. Fake Edit / Spoiler: He is a narcissist and will never be bored of it.

You see, if he repeats it enough times, it will become true( enough to his listeners so they can give him more money).

Listening to the current episode and it just occurred to me that Alex’s fictional PR firm that is ruining his reputation is Dan and Jordan. AJ’s conspiracy brain has interpreted Knowledge Fight as some sort of globalist cut-out. I mean, probably not, but I am saying it now, just in case.

On the one hand, it's a line he's picked up from Musk because he's trying to appeal to that audience now that he's back on Twitter. On the other hand, whether or not he believes the things that he says is a question the podcast has been trying to answer for almost a decade and we still don't know, so who fuckin knows if he honestly thinks a PR firm tried to ruin his life.

I have a theory that AJ only has a “scrolled by headline” level of understanding of anything in his life. Everything else is improvised backfill. That’s why I keep saying AJ probably doesn’t know Dan and Jordan’s names: he’d half to be present in the moment long enough to listen to an episode. He’s just had Knowledge Fight half-rear end explained to him by a flunkie or something. I do not underestimate Alex Jones’ capacity for incuriosity and just assuming wild poo poo.

Dan heckled him outside in the Connecticut trial and was in the room for his deposition, Alex definitely knows Dan. Probably not Jordan though as anything but the screechy sidekick.

Jordan was the heckler iirc but your point still stands.

My theory is that AJ knows everything about Jordan, but inexplicably nothing about Dan.

God, I still find it bone-chilling to think back on just how many of my leftist friends took Jimmy Dore seriously as a political thinker well into 2021 and 2022. I have no idea if they are still into him because I eventually just gave up trying to convince them that he seemed like a disingenuous rear end in a top hat, but at least now I know that I wasn't being too paranoid about how uncomfortable he made me.
