Kinda depends how you want to define "sundering" I guess, but large and growing portions of the Republican base and media empire are outright calling for the destruction of democratic elections when they lose them.

Mr. Nice! posted:Now it all depends on how the suit re: him shielding assets unlawfully goes. If that suit isn’t able to clawback money, the sandy hook victims are going to get nothing. They wouldn't even be this far if Jones was hiring and listening to competent lawyers saying "yeah you should probably actually show up to that court hearing." I consider it a low likelihood that will change. He's just going to get angrier and more unhinged, wanting bigger fights and more thoroughly vanquished enemies. Calming down and taking things seriously in the face of loss and escalation isn't exactly his thing.

Cat Puke posted:They should care about damages. Someone has to stick the knife in Got bad news on this front. We're either rounding the bend or already there, hard to tell, where that wouldn't matter anymore on the larger scale. The peddling of fear and hatred has become the core ethos of the right wing. Grifters and charlatans are absolutely using it for profit, this is an entire thread devoted to one of them. Take for granted the assumption it was possible to make it unprofitable in the face of eternal money-spigot billionaires that want to push the ideology dumping money from above and a bottomless well of idiot rubes handing up cash from below for taint-tanning and survival supplements. I'm not convinced of that assumption, but for the sake of conversation go along with it. Then what? It won't stop anyway because that's what politics is today. That's how you get power from a rabidly hateful base with the desire to make their perceived enemies suffer over and above fixing any problems.

Froghammer posted:Just underlying that these people are monsters. Alex started his trump card bankruptcy plan seven years ago and kept it in his back pocket this whole time. Not necessarily a specifically evil Alex thing. Wealthy elites do strategic bankruptcy all the time. It's just one more law they use to make more money. They just do it "right" by not being loud mouthed assholes on their own show telling everyone exactly the dumb poo poo Jones has said.

0konner posted:No Dan would be better at the easiest way to embarrass Alex in some public debate which is to just have remembered anything Alex said before. This would not at all work, in the least, in any way, on Alex Jones. Jones is the living embodiment of the Sartre quote. He knows he's full of poo poo and does not at all care. He'd just vomit more bullshit out of his word hole and keep screaming about how you want to gently caress the devil over a child's sacrificed corpse or something. You can argue facts and try to logic at him all day long it won't mean a drat thing, it's using entirely the wrong tool for the situation. You would make just as much progress trying to use trigonometry to fill a bath tub.

Glenn is also loudly and constantly supportive of multiple hard line authoritarian leaders around the globe that would have him locked up or possibly even executed for the crime of having a homosexual relationship but gets super touchy about the topic and criticises Bolsanaro on it regularly. On a completely unrelated and totally coincidental topic Bolsanaro is the hard line authoritarian leader that has the capability of impacting him, personally, over that relationship. Weird how that works.

MA-Horus posted:I just started reading Sandy Hook, and how The Parents haven't literally torn Alex limb from limb is a bit of a shock to me. It just gets worse the more you learn about it. Having your kid murdered then hounded by illegal private investigations and violent cultists until you move out of state for fear of life and limb. Then that and more keeps happening for years, so some rear end in a top hat can shill boner pills.

Even knowing Jones' schtick it was pretty uncomfortable listening to him jerk himself raw over the different kinds of violence he spends so much time thinking about perpetrating. Even performatively that was some really unhealthy mental space to be inhabiting.

These are right wing grifter poo poo heads though. Six months seems like just enough time to go on Fox and scream "I HAVE BEEN SILENCED". If it's not permanent, or at the very least measured in years, it just doesn't feel like an actual punishment.

I just don't give a lot of credit to people who only get mad about poo poo as heinous as everything Infowars has done when it finally swings around to hurting them. Dude just seems to have an axe to grind now that he was fired. Which, yeah, justified within its own scope so go ahead and be mad about that. Don't expect sympathy from me for it though. The decade plus of this poo poo happening to other people wasn't a problem, him getting harassed and fired seems to have made all the difference.

Tree Dude posted:Hard to say if this is the sort of thing KF would cover. They tend to shy away from things about Alex's personal life and things he isn't directly bringing up on the show but a lot of this directly contradicts things he does talk about on the show so I'm not sure. Conservative hypocrisy is about the most played out topic there is but I still feel like it's important to keep highlighting it. Eh, I'm torn on the conservative hypocrisy thing. Highlighting it doesn't seem to accomplish anything. The root problem is that to a fascist, hypocrisy isn't a problem it's a privilege.

Samovar posted:No, the point is that you rub their faces in it continually, no matter how much they try to change the subject until they suffer a permanent nervous breakdown. That's the problem I'm getting at, I don't think they ever will suffer from pointing out their hypocrisy. Again; to fascists this is a privilege. If they're owning the libs with hypocrisy, great, they'll keep doing it. It's another avenue of attack on their enemies. It's only a problem if you have any kind of, I guess, higher level ideology. If all you do is hate and all you want is to attack then gently caress it, hypocrisy all around, play with language, make your interlocuters sound ridiculous.

Well, that and ambiguity of whether Deckard is a Replicant or not and how that should extend to everyone questioning why others do or do not have rights. rear end in a top hat shithead fuckers like Jones are incapable of comprehending something that starts from a position of empathy though, so welp.

Your Gay Uncle posted:I think Dan made the right call with the SPLC article. I thought they would be funny but it turned out to be just sad. As an avid listener I am well aware of what a piece of poo poo Alex is (billion dollars level rear end in a top hat) and I found myself starting to feel bad for him. Maybe the next few will focus more on Sandy Hook truther stuff but the ones with his wife just make me sad. They make some of the relationships I've been in seem healthy and functional While there's something to be said for the moral high ground or forgiveness as a virtue or whatever, I don't give Alex any of that in his relationships. That kind of redemption is earned through actions. He wouldn't have such lovely relationships if he did not spend his entire life being a toxic, hateful cumstain. Being an emotionally manipulative pile of poo poo like his private security stalking for fears of cheating while cheating himself, then pulling full DARVO and acting like he's the innocent and hurt one is not an accident. That's emotional abuse poo poo. He's doing that to other people and ruining their lives, then complaining that nobody loves him for the paragon of innocence and victimhood he is. gently caress him he deserves it and I hope he hurts in his soul for every day of his life he continues to do so.

Also that "useless eaters" comment from Pim Tool is like a direct Nazi quote/ideology and he also had Kanye on, spouting more Nazi poo poo with probably less pushback than Jones even.

That poo poo was being trumpeted from the bad guys and brain washing a teenager in to suicide in Man In The High Castle but here's home boy just casually saying "Yeah everyone I don't like politically is a useless eater.
