This is good and cool, but I can't help being a little upset that only small fry like Alex Jones can get appropriate, proportional fines for their crimes. When's the last time you saw a corporation outside China get a fine proportioned this high against their profit?
Bernie Madoff was put in jail for life but he was a scapegoat for fucking over rich people. Aside from that, never. Thousands, if not, millions of people have died or gotten injured or sick from defective products and no one cares.
Or people dying from price gouging on functional products. Like Bernie Madoff, you only get locked up as a rich guy for fucking over other rich guys. Martin Shkreli never went to prison for jacking a cancer treatment prescription price by 5000%, he only went to prison for securities fraud. And it's only for a couple years
He scammed a bunch of crypto bros and claimed he got hacked as soon as he got out.
he has recently been streaming fortnite for roughly 50 people max
Martin Shkreli becomes a Fortnite streamer
Never thought I'd hit that square on the 2022 bingo but here we are
He went to prison for being the most honest scumbag.
They all do it.
He just said “I’m going mask off because I can, it’s legal and fine in America. “
In a better world, we would have made it illegal. Instead everyone focused on him. He was punished for being honest.
I don't know how much he's got but it ain't 965 million lmao :miyazaki-laugh:
I'd be all too willing to see the 965 mil dropped in favor of putting this man on a concord to each school shooting and making him be there front and center to witness the horrific tragedies when they happen; have him literally pick up the dead and dying kids and putting them in ambulances. This man is detached from reality cause he doesn't have to see it, doesn't have to listen to the heartbreaking testimony from grieving families. He should be made to be present every time this event occurs and to literally be palms deep in the horror.
I'm down with this just because it would mean bringing back the concorde
I watched a segment of his fundraiser video where he went out of his way to say that none of the money raised would be for the families. This person just insists on being as awful a human being as possible.
Can he make a cool billion off his dick supplements and colloidal silver pills to cover his own ass in court? Let's find out!
buying colloidal silver from alex jones not to own the globalists but to look like smurfette
Don't call yourself a fan unless you read the manga.Don't call yourself a libertarian until you've dyed your skin permanently blue.
Redistributing wealth from gullible chuds to the families of mass shootings.
I just googled it and a news site said he's only worth $130 million, :scared-fash:
His company is bankrupt too which I didn't know. How in the fuck did this guy ever get an audience? The few times I listened to him back in my reactionary chud days I had to turn it off because it was so :jesse-wtf:
I used to get so upset when he'd yell and scream about "I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS!" then show them asshole, prove to me the world is run by psychic lizardmen vampires sucking the souls out of mankind on a colony prison planet! :ooooooooooooooh:
prove to me the world is run by psychic lizardmen vampire sucking the souls out of mankind on a colony prison planet!
:marx-hi: ahem… may I introduce you to a manifesto?
Broken clock moment but there is this clip of him from a movie at least mentioning about corporate slavery and the false dichotomy between liberal and conservatives. I'm not defending Jones but at least when he was young and less well known he was a bit more coherent. Makes me wonder how much of his shit's an act for the piggies versus how much he truly believes. Also worth mentioning he infiltrated Bohemian Grove.
Eh, this clip makes me think he was never coherent (maybe he was.....slightly more coherent? But still incoherent). He cares about freedom, he cares about dignity, forget about the greed, the hate, they're using it to control us, should not submit to dehumanization, blah blah blah
There's nothing of substance in there. Heck, take the labels off: take away liberalism, conservatism, republican, democrat; just tell us what you're actually on about, tell us specifically what you want fixed. This guy was never Parenti, Chomsky or that (South? Central?) American lady (who I'm sorry to say I don't know her name; but she spoke out against American Imperialism and brought up a Times article that found that 70% of Americans at the start of the Iraq war believed Iraq was involved in 9/11).
He's just angry (or is putting on a performance of it) and it sounds to me like he doesn't even really know why he's angry. The sad thing is, a guy who's known for being on the left yelling exactly the same words would be put on the spot to specify exactly what he's talking about, but conservatives not only aren't but don't expect to be.
As a gigalib who's listened to way too much Knowledge Fight, the short answer is Alex Jones is 1000% a grifter cosplaying as part of the militia psychos that produced OKC and Malheur. Basically the only thing he's ever been consistent on is 2A absolutism, otherwise he'll flip on literally anything if it helps make the audience feel besieged and sell them dick pills and dehydrated potatoes.
From some people who knew him back in the Austin access television days, Alex Jones is 100% playing a character.
I wonder how much of the original man is left after being in character for so long. Not to say he wasn't always a shitbag
Heck, take the labels off: take away liberalism, conservatism, republican, democrat; just tell us what you’re actually on about, tell us specifically what you want fixed.
That's what always bugged me about his show, the rants never really had much purpose, but they sure do fire up his audience.
corporate slavery and the false dichotomy between liberal and conservatives
When he says any of that shit, what he means is "the christian militia freaks are the good guys"
He's never been sane or correct
I honestly think he became a :cia: asset to spread limited hangouts but coated in enough shit to discredit anyone talking about anything like that
His company isn't bankrupt. They've filed and are attempting to reorganize but he's being a removed just like he was during discovery of the defamation trials so it isn't going well and he is very likely attempting to hide truckloads of cash
Ahh I used an impolite slur for a particular piece of anatomy and I forgot it autoremoves. Fair enough
Maybe his audience was boomers who're easy to grift and listen to talk radio, idk :shrug-outta-hecks:
I was actually an Alex Jones fan back in high school. To someone with very little political knowledge what he says is awfully convincing. "There's a small group of powerful people pulling the strings" essentially.
Once I started fearing that the black helicopters were going to abduct me - a high school student - for reading InfoWars, and once one-too-many of his "predictions" of when martial law was going to be implemented never materialised, I took a step back and reflected that maybe this fear-mongering dipshit was actually not telling the truth.
I don't know how anyone could listen to him unironically.
He supposedly has a ton stashed away in crypto, which... definitely tracks. How he hopes to convert that into cash right now is anyone's guess. It's going to be fun to watch.
Iirc he got a donation of Bitcoin worth about 8mill recently. This was just before the crash but still he probably has 2 million in Bitcoin from just that stashed away on a usb.
The sad fact is that no matter what happens he will likely be able to afford a life better than most of the victim will know
A lot of those damages are punitive, and from a bunch of separate trials. Unless he put money into an ironclad pension fund, like OJ Simpson did, he's probably fucked for life.
R/pcm is having a shitfit about this, including the apparent "leftists". Fucking dick bags crying about how they might go after Rogan next.
:yes-chad:
So parents who were slandered and harassed for years get some justice and their biggest concern is that Joe Rogan might get sued. Holy shit.
Broke Joe Rogan wearing a barrel on suspenders as clothes with a Tapout logo spray painted on it.
Very excited for the 3 hour long ep of knowledge fight that'll just be them laughing the whole timr
"What's your bright spot?"
*2-4 hours of uninterrupted laughter and that drop of him saying "This could be my last broadcast"*
