Alex Jones

Definitely in both Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly

he's in waking life and a scanner darkly, not in slacker

Ugh, he's in A Scanner Darkly, too? His presence is the number one reason I haven't rewatched Waking Life in over a decade.

I've watched A Scanner Darkly at least five or six times and don't remember him, think he might just be a maniac ranting on tv or in the street as they pass by, which would be the ideal casting.

he's ranting in a parking lot with a megaphone and gets tased lol

can't be a real dystopia if they're tasering him

when I got my bathroom redone the the tile guy was an old school Austin guy, amiable and free with insane anecdotes about 70s Austin and how the elite had interbred with the Nephilim and added fluoride to the water to keep their local illegitimate children depowered

wild conspiracy theories are the lingua franca of the true Austinite

every smoke break he took was like an entire Slacker sequel

Jones is by far the best and most entertaining right wing media fuckhead

Violent diarrhea is by far the best and most entertaining means by which the human body eliminates waste

Alex Jones destroys Drone to protect humanity

I will keep posting this until the world recognizes the only good thing I ever did in my life

lol

Man, I'm so glad this sack of shit has been so thoroughly marginalized.

We would have literally been in high school at the same time and he looks uncannily like my dad did in 1997

(Who would’ve been like 48)

He was featured in Jon Ronson's Adventures With Extremists in 2001. By then he was an established nutjob, but was unattached to right wing politics per se, and more focused on the ruling class at large. When I started seeing more of his antics surface the last few years, I kept thinking "This dude is now mainstreamish? And a right wing shill to boot? Whoa didn't see that coming"

Also recently watched his bit in Waking Life not knowing it was him for certain but it certainly reminded me of him... and made me feel uncomfortable

yeah its weird to see that public access clip or that bit in waking life and remember a time when 'black helicopter conspiracy theorist' types seemed apolitical. Like obviously its a right wing ideology at its core, but seeing Jones in Waking Life back whenever that was I'd never expect that guy would someday be a passionate supporter of a sitting president

yeah it was more fun when he wasn't a shill, just a weirdo. I used to find him quite funny but I can't watch him anymore without being annoyed

i know i'm only the about 10 millionth person to observe this but yeah its just wild to imagine a time when you would encounter a guy like that and your reaction would be "what an amusing kook LOL, i bet he's got a million books about JFK and UFOs" as opposed to "theres a racist maniac who might shoot us all"

For me it's also the difference where 20 years ago, he would just be the guy propping up the counter at his local watering hole that the other regulars wish would shut the fuck up, instead he's got a rabid following of thousands of morons.

The Texas Supreme Court has denied Alex Jones all forms of relief: Sandy Hook families and others can now sue Jones and InfoWars into the ground. https://t.co/aNTYRYIakb

Oh noes.

This is one of those guys (like Rush, like Beck, like Bannon) that is always being sued, always being blocked, always on the verge of prison or death (both literal and metaphoric), yet never seems to go away.

You missed Trump from that list.

Yeah, fair enough. Trump's been an asshole as long as I can remember.

still one form of relief left for this guy

Hand?

 (like Rush, like Beck, like BannonHanson) 

hopefully this is like a reverse-Gawker, with every victim suing Jones/Infowars until he's ass the fuck out

Default judgment, will be liable to pay lots of $$$ to sandy hook families: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/01/alex-jones-infowars-sandy-hook-liable-lawsuits-damages

it is a trip to read the early years of this thread

You know whenever he puts out a new "documentary" the Alamo Drafthouse hosts a big screening with a Q&A and shit and I went last year assuming it'd be all catcalls and lolz and I wanted to fuck with the dude but it was 90% dead serious Ron Paul motherfuckers who took dude as gospel with shirts that said shit like BURN DOWN BOHEMIAN GROVE

hoos had an opportunity to change history for the better :(

this feel good. like, something good happened here. I’d like to think it might give pause to some of the worst actors

but I’d suspect the top tier guys who are heavily lawyered (thanks to deep-pocket funders like Mercers, et al) will be able to put it all on ice in the court system if it becomes A Thing

i just came up with a conspiracy theory and it kind of makes sense, so i hope everyone will just start saying this and make it true:

what if alex jones lost this case on purpose, in this manner, to avoid setting a legal precedent that would negatively affect other crazy rightwing media people?

i remember being interested in this case back when it started, millions of years ago, because of that possibility. but he isn't being held liable for damages because of that, technically, it's because he didn't cooperate with the Discovery process:

A Texas judge ruled the far-right conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones is liable for damages to families of children killed in the 2012 Newtown massacre in two lawsuits, after he repeatedly refused to produce documents for the court cases.

The rulings are “default judgments”, or rare de facto losses, because of Jones’s repeated failure to comply with discovery, or the process of producing documents for a court case. The court will convene a jury to consider damages.

“The court finds that defendants’ failure to comply … is greatly aggravated by [their] consistent pattern of discovery abuse throughout similar cases pending before this court,” wrote the Texas judge, Maya Guerra Gamble, in a judgment reported by CNN.

“The court finds that defendants’ discovery conduct in this case is the result of flagrant bad faith and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rule,” she wrote.

what i heard and what many people are saying is that he did this on purpose to help his lying friends

oof. need some real ass lawyers in the chat

Tobacco was the last capital venture to lose* in the courts. probably will retain that distinction for my remaining life looool

(*and they’re doing fine I mean)

until a lawyer arrives i think it's better to just go with my conspiracy which explains it all

Tobacky also the last time legislative branch (and media) did… anything at to make ppl’s lives appreciably better. Bipartisan!!!
