It’s Illegal to say something like, “I want to kill the president.” Like crazy illegal. It’s ok that I just said it because I was just telling you it’s illegal.
I miss when people on TV were having fun
Shame everyone got on a hardcore vindictive streak against every perceived ‘microagression’ a decade or so ago.
There’s thousands upon thousands of famous people. Why waste your time following or supporting someone that you feel is not a good person? Turns out a lot of people feel that same way, hence someone being “cancelled”. No one went on a “hardcore vindictive streak” to get these people cancelled.
Oh please. People were swinging that stick around blindly. Sure there were some legitimately bad actors hurt, but the damage it did to society as a whole has been incalculable, as every random idiot with a grudge felt empowered to wield it as a weapon against everyone around them.
Like who are you even talking about? Can you give an example?
How about the random people harassed/shamed for the great sin of… spreading their legs on the bus? People were absolutely psychotic in their zeal to attack anyone they could for any reason they could conceive.
This guy is a bad example. Can we have this debate when it’s someone worth the effort? This guy is a huge asshole and I’m willing to ‘no contest’ his cancelling.
Fight the next one. I beg you.
I’m responding to the person saying they miss when people had fun on TV. That doesn’t happen anymore because too many vindictive assholes feel empowered to ruin people’s lives without a second thought in our current culture.
Just arrest his ass. Clearly conspiracy as he’s encouraging others to attempt it.
Did he? The full title of the stream was, “Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?” Seems like it was just clickbait because the article says nothing about Alex encouraging it.
Yeah. It doesn’t really get any less ambiguous without adding “I really mean it in a legally actionable way!” or some such nonsense.
I ask because the article says nothing about him encouraging others to do it. I was hoping someone would link or explain more.
Look, fuck Alex Jones, but the title of the Twitter Space was “Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?”
Which is some crazy conspiratorial nonsense, but it is pretty far from a call to assassinate Biden. It does technically have the words “assassinate Biden” in it, so the headline is correct on a literal level, but this is some serious click bait…
You could just as easily say “Rawstory posts article with ‘Assassinate Biden’ in the title”, and be just as correct.
If you’re always giving people who don’t play fair, the benefits of the doubt, you’re going to end up with fascism.
Never help vipers survive, they’ll only end up stinging you.
If I don’t give people the benefit of a doubt, then I am the one playing unfairly.
Alex Jones may be a liar, but I’m not.
