Alex Jones, among many other speakers, riling up the Trump mob to attack the Capitol and install Trump as dictator

I'm on your side with regards to the insufferable blowhard Alex Jones, but could you maybe insult that Putin-worshipping supplement-hawking grifter with delusions of coherence without resorting to body shaming and an ableist slur?

Don't mean to correct you, but crackhead retard.

How do I unread a comment

...vagina looked at you?

In his interview with prosecution videos he’s crying and saying he needs help and doesn’t believe any of it. Then he goes right back to doing more.

Hordes of evil monkeys waging war with each other.

I'm convinced there's got to be some kind of diagnosable mental disorder that makes people go out and try to get the absolute maximum number of people to hate them. Jones has it, that furry with a Confederate / Nazi fursona has it, Marjorie Taylor Greene has it...

Now that's not to say that just because these people are sick, they aren't dangerous.

“If a madman were to come into this room with a stick in his hand, no doubt we should pity the state of his mind; but our primary consideration would be to take care of ourselves. We should knock him down first, and pity him afterwards.”

— Samuel Johnson

He is evil. Watch "The Truth vs. Alex Jones". It's eye opening how aware he is of what he is doing.

They get away with it because they're loud and the rest of us largely are not. Moreover, the majority don't take this seriously, and haven't for years, not until recently. It's not just the courts, it's also on us. I like to use COVID as an example: Anti-Vaccine and no-maskers ran rampant. For the most part we did nothing. There's always going to be danger. It's always gonna suck.

This has been slowly changing. I just fear it's too late.

As they always do. It's always the lippy little bitches that act all tough until the shit gets real, then they're nowhere to be found.

It was never about anything other than whipping up crazy people for money.

It's wild to me that some people are still stuck 40 years in the past.

"Globalism" in right wing speak means "Jews."

That's it. The belief that a cabal of Jews control the world.

You hit the definition above right, but they aren't using it.

So, a lot of the time with nut jobs like this, globalists is just a code word for Jews.

However, there is a legitimate dark side to globalism as it's conventionally defined outside of neonazi talking points. Globalism is often used as cover for neocolonialism, where poor countries are "better" for resource extraction because the salaries are low and nobody cares about the environmental costs. Meanwhile, rich countries are "better" for design, financial work, technical jobs, etc because the wealth of the populace means people are better educated.

This traps poorer countries in poverty as the only investments are in low-skill manual labour in an environmentally degraded landscape, while the bulk of the profits go into corporations headquartered in wealthier countries. In other words, systemic wealth extraction.

Yeah, it really means Jews.

This is from 2021. Don't know why we're giving him attention by posting it again now.

It sure seems that way.

Like, a super cool wrestling move? Or a kinetic gravity experiment to find the tensile strength of an anus?

Also here's the Knowledge Fight podcast's coverage of the events on Jan 5th and 6th.

Fair warning, this episode is about two hours longer than their usual content. There's a lot to go over.

I'd pay to see Biden pile driver Trump. Now, I think about it, Trump has been on WWE before. Maybe we can get him back on WWE in order to fight Biden? Both of them belong in a cell anyways.

Bestie, I use this handle and people still don't leave off about obvious sarcasm around here. Lemmy is serious business.

Just broke for now. Like in Deadpool 2 when he had no direction, he just fell back into what he knew.

Only financially. Put 2 and 2 together again...

bless your heart
