Maybe you can counsel Henry James on shunning, when you get your panties unwadded.

 

The irony is thick, since my comment was directed to your panties being in a wad over this thread about Alex Jones.

This fucker lives in Austin, is batshit crazy, is currently in the middle of a trial that is showing him to be not only batshit crazy but dangerous, and we have the AUDACITY to be commenting on it here on Surly.  Imagine that.

Why don't you assholes shun him then and stop posting to threads about him.  In other words, ignore him you dipshits.  But more important, stop reminding us about him.

How about you go fuck right off. 

We're not amish. 

This mothefucker deserves public shaming and himilation.  And ass and cock and balls cancer.

This week's "This American Life" investigates one father's fight against conspiracy theorists (Part 1) and Alex Jones (Part 2). The segment on  Alex Jones is brutal.

Beware the Jabberwock

 

 

That was a brutal piece. Best part was the interview of one of his old HS classmates, some redneck dude who hated Alex in HS, and helped with a beatdown some football players gave Alex just because he was a complete POS even back then. Redneck (who somehow didn't know about Alex's current "job") says that he wouldn't believe anything Alex said.

Then interviewer informed redneck dude that DOTARD went on Alex's show and praised him.

Redneck became obviously confused, and stammered something about "Well, maybe some of the stuff he says might be true, you never know.".

I really hope this guy gets ass cancer. Or cancer of the cock and balls. 

I root for humans over cancer at all times, but I'll make an exception here. 

Stage 4 Wind cancer would be the most appropriate outcome

I feel like you could knock him the fuck out on camera and then make a killing when someone undoubtedly starts a Go Fund Me campaign for you on behalf of all of us.

If I'd have been there, I'm pretty sure I would've knocked him smooth the fuck out.  I would love to end his bloated ass.

100% essential listening for this thread: the Knowledge Fight breakdown of Alex’s inebriated on-air breakdown during an attempted Reddit AMA this month, featuring the terrific Robert Evans from Behind the Bastards. He is really falling apart, and it really couldn’t be happening to a nicer guy. Eye-popping and brutally hilarious. Must be heard to be believed.

People getting all riled up about wishing an IMAGINARY MADE UP cancer on a shitstain who harasses the parents of murdered children like Alex Jones.

Those same people?

High profile democrats and media members targeted by right wing terrorists? MEH

Kids in cages? MEH

Great to see your sympathy and outrage is reserved for those who really deserve it.

Deplorable indeed.

You guys seriously owe it to yourselves to listen to the blackout drunk AMA. A couple of quick highlights to make you believe (the laughter is the Knowledge Fight hosts). THIS IS AT LIKE 4 IN THE AFTERNOON.

It'd be worth it to just hear the Alex Jones meltdown uninterrupted.  Those guys playing 8 seconds of the Alex Jones content then stopping it to go on with 10 minutes of completely unfunny, totally tangential commentary makes it absolutely brutal and way too tedious.  Maybe they're an acquired taste, but they just aren't funny in a single portion of any of that entire hour.  It's laborious and monotonous.  Just play the meltdown in its entirety.  Those guys suck.

I mean they laugh at him for sure but that’s not really the point of Knowledge Fight, they’re overall examining him from an academic and activist perspective. These are people who have studied him in detail, and while they’re clearly fascinated and entertained by him at times, the whole endeavor is about exposing him and taking him down. This is an atypical episode because it’s a particularly weird moment in the great Alex Jones arc. Plus there’s a substitute host in there (Robert Evans, whose podcast Behind The Bastards is really fantastic). I dunno, I found it highly enjoyable but maybe being familiar with the people involved helps.

Bacon is delicious and can enhance other foods but there's no reason to try to enhance bacon.  Those guys had sizzling hot bacon and poured cold oatmeal over it.

Well also the only source for unadulterated Infowars content is Infowars, and I would prefer not to give them any clicks/ad revenue/etc. Playing short clips and commenting on it is what makes it fair use and prevents them from getting sued for just broadcasting someone else's content.

Well then be glad that I went to the trouble of pulling those short commentary-free clips of Alex Jones first just pretty drunk and then fully blacked out in the mid-afternoon

Wasn't trying to be a dick.  It was just frustrating listening to the first link to the audio where they'd stop it every 6 to 8 seconds and say the same thing over and over again.  "This is really bad, man.  They should be concerned.  Man, this is bad.  Why isn't anyone concerned?  This is so bad, man."  When Alex Jones is squeaking and weeping and drifting into a pharma coma just let that portion roll.  You're not gonna be funnier than that and there's no way to embellish it.  The main guy seems a little too in love with himself and just isn't funny.  There are 15 posters on this forum alone who'd be way funnier than either of those guys, including you.  And devoting an entire podcast to "taking Alex Jones down" is about as weird as Alex Jones.

So he was allowed to ramble on Youtube, on that idiot Paul Logan's channel (the dude that fucked up in Japan).  Sandy Hook was faked, Pizzagate, etc.

It's like he wants to completely fuck himself in his various trials.

Apparently he hasn't lost enough money in his divorce and lawsuits, and needs to lose all of it.

And he's got a new-ish site - NewsWars.com or whatever.

Why? Alex Jones inspires terrorism in the US and abroad. Jones spreads dangerous misinformation and works to convince people that their lives and their families' lives are directly and actively threatened, then calls it a false flag when they believe him and act accordingly. Armed people have showed up at pizza parlors and public libraries to intervene in situations because Alex Jones tells them children are being harmed. He and his organization have been hugely influential in spreading birther shit, Islamophobia, and the white nationalist "great replacement" narrative. He doesn't have the reach he did just months ago, precisely because people got aggressive in calling him out and for what he does and asking various companies not to provide him a platform to keep doing it. 

Playing clips of him and calling out his bullshit for what it is, pointing out the obvious and knowing lies (because he contradicts himself so often), and diving into stuff like his background and ties to legit scary fringe militia movement types all seem like worthwhile stuff to me. I wish he was still just that kooky local eccentric Keep Austin Weird conspiracy guy who was in Waking Life, but he's been an important influential figure in a lot of really horrible shit that has gone down in this country. And it was allowed to happen unchecked in large part because "serious people" didn't take him seriously. Well guess what it's not 2007 anymore and the maliciously propagated viral insanity on the internet is a really big deal with really big real-world repercussions. And part of the problem is it went unanswered for too long.

This.  The guy encouraged other weirdos to torment families of the murdered children of Sandy Hook. He goes to Hell.  No line, no waiting.

Republicans like to pretend Alex is a nobody, and that every black person has 18 Obama phones and THAT is what we should worry about.

He is an angry elf.

I remember shortly after Trump's election, articles were being written by establishment Republican and Democratic "journalists" and commentators (Sam Harris' stupid ass was probably the leading voice of this asinine cause) that blamed "the rise of political correctness by liberals" for it. As in the culture had apparently gotten so PC that people collectively threw a tantrum and voted for the absolute worst political candidate we've ever had (and I say that mindful of the fact that Fred Phelps and David Duke had political campaigns) to this nation's highest office.

No, those people have always existed. It's just that they used to be considered aberrations in a species of social animals where compassion and sympathy are values to be treasured. If the so-called "liberals" did anything to permit this atrocity to happen, it's that they have preached tolerance so much and for so long that too many of us interpret "be more tolerant" to mean "tolerate everything, including intolerance," and that's where the Alex Joneses of the world can come in and scream and yell about "FIRST AMENDMENT!" whenever their Twitter feeds get snuffed out. That behavior you're seeing in the video? That's Alex Jones being Alex Jones. He wasn't forced into that mindset against his will by college professors and community organizers shaming people for not taking Native American rights seriously. He has that mindset because he's an asshole, and he always has been.

Alex Jones has never had anything worth a shit to say, but not nearly enough of us have told him and his ilk that. We've been so supportive of their so-called "right to be wrong" that we've forgotten about our right to be right.

Yep.  They've been this way since before PC culture, before the internet.  I remember seeing some of the (unpublished) letters to the editor that were sent to the paper 30 years ago -- some of them were pages of diagrams and screeds sketching out a massive consipracy involving global fishing fleets, the pope, the illuminati, etc.  I remember doing a complex mock trial 25 years ago, where we had multiple juries.  They would fill out comments after certain phases.  As I went through them, I found a handful that explained their position, and how they couldn't ever support my client because they were part of a global conspiracy with the CIA, the Queen of England, and the illuminati (those guys get around) to control the global drug trade and enslave people.  Pointing these out to my jury consultant, he explained "yeah, about 1 in 12 people is what you and I would call 'batshit crazy.'"  On a national level, that means about 30 million people are fucking nuts like Alex Jones.  And they always have been.

The internet just gave them ways to band together, and a way for nutbars like Jones to monetize their fleecing of the nutbars.

It's gonna be nice seeing those nutbar dollars go from the nutbars, to Jones, to the pockets of good and decent people victimized by their nuttery.

Quote

After Jones offered a million-dollar reward for the arrest and conviction of the person who sent him the illegal images while intimating that it was mighty coincidental that the plaintiffs’ lawyers found the images and reported them to the FBI — “And they get these emails a few weeks ago, and they go right to the FBI and say, ‘We’ve got him with child porn!'” — he went on to explain why he couldn’t possibly have knowingly possessed child pornography.

Quote

I like women with big giant tits and big asses. I don’t like kids like you goddamn rapists. F-heads. In fact, delete this: You f**ks are going to get it. You f**king child molesters. I’ll f**king get you in the end. You f**ks.

 

Quote

Pattis babbled some nonsense about Aristotle’s theories of anger management as his client pounded his fist on a picture of plaintiff’s counsel Chris Mattei, screaming, “We all know who did it,” and threatening, “One million dollars to put your head on a pike.”

 

Quote

And then now magically they want metadata out of hundreds of thousands of emails they got, and they know just where to go. What a nice group of Democrats. How surprising. What nice people. Chris Mattei. Chris Mattei. Let’s zoom in on Chris Mattei. Oh, nice little—[pounds picture of Attorney Mattei’s face with fist]—Chris Mattei. What a good American. What a good boy. You think you’ll put on me, what—[under his breath] I’m gonna kill . . . [growls]. Anyway, I’m done! Total war! You want it, you got it! I’m not into kids like your Democratic party, you cocksuckers! So get ready!

Anyways, you’re my defense lawyer.

 

 

Quote

Anyways, he went on to refer to Chris Mattei as “a white Jewboy that thinks he owns America” and “a little, white Jewboy jerkoff son of a bitch.”
