Lazyfire posted:CT is probably going to go a bit better because 1) CT remembers this poo poo; everyone I know can tell you where they were when they heard the shooting happened. It would be difficult to get a jury with enough chuds on it who won't have an emotional reaction to hearing Jones call it fake and a hoax. 2) Leonard Pozner spent YEARS fighting misinformation about his son's death online and got endlessly harassed both on the internet and real life by the weirdos who believe Alex. He was instrumental in getting a bunch of InfoWars stuff taken off YouTube because Alex posted his personal details including home address online. His ex wife, Veronique De La Rosa, experienced a ton of harassment as well and is part of the suit. This is direct-can-tie-to-Infowars stuff. Alex was always more worried about the CT case, he did less loving around with representation here (even if Norm Pattis is not an ideal choice in any scenario) and launched this most recent bankruptcy sham to avoid this trial specifically. I only want to say that while it may be difficult to get a jury that is chuddy enough, if you live here too, you know that there are plenty of shitbird right wingers in this state who adore trump and alex jones It’s not impossible for the jury to be p. Chuddy, is all I’m saying

I.e knowledge fight, articles about him etc. Always ends up making me feel mad and negative in the long run and life's too short for that sort of poo poo. This is why i waffle very strongly on listening to knowledge fight It is funny and they do a good job of skewering alex’s bullshit, but it still means i have to listen to his bullshit

Or are all these verdicts just running up the score on something that'll never pay out?

Alkydere posted:Please, please, please don't tempt me with a future where Alex Jones' hole in the media stays empty. That sounds too much like a good time! I suspect it’s this There just isn’t a form of media one to one exactly the same as the basically dead radio industry. Radio died a hard death and now only reaches boomers and up, really, and the practice of having radio djs be small-time celebrities within a market due to lack of options bred people with the ability to do this rambling for hours. Iheartradio, formerly clear channel communication, is trying to corner the podcast game the way it sucked the radio market dry, by the by. Maybe the corporate structure has gotten better since it murdered radio creativity. Maybe. I think alex is one of the last holdouts of the radio djs made famous, and that particular angle to fame has basically become an impossible task. But we will see someone become alt right famous off of tiktok, if we havent already done so, for example.

Cowman posted: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. The fun angle that i have seen coming up the most about the holocaust lately with nazis and holocaust deniers(ie: nazis) is nitpicking over the amount killed, and how this concentration camp only had this many ovens so how could they possibly have burned that many bodies And of course the only source cited was “i went to auschwitz and counted the ovens”. So i think the holocaust denial folks have at least temporarily given up on saying it didn’t happen at all, but are nowadays trying to muddy the waters with bullshit about lying about the total Its just that old quote about how antisemites will say anything that is politically advantageous to win the argument, and dont believe anything specific other than their racism

Xiahou Dun posted:Holocaust denial/"questioning"(ughhh) has always been multi-level and complex, going right back to George Lincoln Rockwell, the Ur Holocaust Denier. They have their position (anti-Semitism) and will argue for it as strongly as they think they can get away with as the situation allows. And if those weaker arguments are incompatible with their larger claim that the HoloHoax was actually a conspiracy to destroy the Sacred Whites, well, it's not like personal consistency was ever part of the brand. Yep, this. There’s a meme that regularly gets posted when someone(like me, yesterday) stupidly gets into a twitter argument with a nazi. I will only say that both i and the guy i was arguing with turned on the full fledged nazi who joined the argument and we told him to gently caress himself Unforch the other guy was arguing mostly that nazi is a label applied too easily these days and i said “lol do you not know who nick fuentes is”, and he said “no i do not, is that relevant” All that to say:

ashpanash posted:Remember, it's Alex Jones. If he manages to get a bigger salary (and he probably will, but probably not what he's asking for,) he'll just spend it on stupid poo poo or put it into some ponzi grift like his "whiskey" company. He's not going to be smart and put it all in some well-protected estate that can't be touched by the impending judgments, he's far too dumb and impulsive for that. One of the judges also has had an independent third party put in charge of running infowars’ finances because alex hosed around so much during discovery I don’t believe he is allowed to do stuff like that at the mo’, and they are working on untangling his finances

Isn’t jon ronson the guy who realized he may be a psychopath while working on a book on psychopaths, and realized he had just used his psychopathy for good? Maybe he has that unfuckwithable aura that some people have, that alex absolutely doesn’t Remember when alex chased down some 20 year old who flipped him off and got in the kid’s face, lol

Would alex pivot to saying that al capone was actually a hero fighting the unjust government if he went to jail for tax evasion Seeing as he would get out and go right back to the radio podcast grift Whatever happened to the good old days like kevin mitnick being court ordered to never use a computer again? Make alex never be able to broadcast again. Or never be allowed to drink again.

I'm not sure what his audience is now at this point and what they're looking for. What in god’s name are you talking about, jones doesn’t need sandy hook under any circumstances. He can talk about biden and the covid vaccine, he can talk about the war in ukraine, he can go back to the old hits of the new world order trying to decrease the population and control people, he can talk about the world economic forum and the world bank and the world trade organization We are heading into an election and he will undoubtedly spin up bullshit about anyone involved in it other than trump It’s honestly about time for alex to get super into cryptocurrencies and start really pushing his audience to invest in some dumb loving scamcoin

How about this for a framing Who was the last comedian to do a full comedy set, be it a half hour or full hour, that is straight up conservative comedy and not just normal comedy from a conservative And did it do any numbers? A lot of that will be unanswerable because netflix doesn’t publish their viewership numbers, but for people talking about a comedy special, the only ones in the past few years that I have any awareness of is dave chappelle’s stuff, and it was all universally seen as demented anti-trans ranting and very few laughs I just don’t think trying to come up with a full comedy set and the conservative worldview mesh
