The full title of the livestream was, “Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?”

<squidword-packing-up.jpg> yup! Funny how the story only reveals that at the very end.

Fuck this badly written article for making me want to defend Alex Jones

Yeah no kidding. He’s an absolute fuckstick but this is a bit ridiculous

GasMeterCrasher ,

This will feed into his narrative that people take his words out of context. It’s playing his game. He constantly claims to be attacked and plays up the victim/martyr card to gain sympathy just so he can sell more supplements.

What a dumb ass

FiniteBanjo ,

Nothing makes me happier than hearing these losers are so threatened and cornered.

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.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I think what happened was that mean dickheads with money started running everything.

I think John Oliver is still having fun. Maybe some sports panel shows, too. Offhand I can’t think of anyone else, although I don’t watch much TV.

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.

Hello, cancel culture? Yeah, this guy right here

corsicanguppy , (edited )

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.

You literally made me laugh out loud. Well done.

No. No. It did not. The problem you are describing isn’t totally imaginary, but for the most part, it’s a good thing that you can’t be an avowed racist or misogynist or general all-around ass and everyone will still love you as long as you are good at your job.

Nobody is going to go on Twitter and said they were triggered because WKUK did this skit, and then George Soros would get the show cancelled. In fact, the lions’s share of the time, the people cancelling shows or freaking out and boycotting products, because someone said the wrong thing, are on your side of the ideological divide.

Ok, that’s hilarious 😂. A few edgy comedians had a rough patch and now Rome is burning!

I think society will survive any misapplications of cancelling. There is no need to worry.

Jiggle_Physics ,

It is just public shaming in an age where it is almost impossible to control information getting, and/or being spread, around at a scale that wasn’t thought possible until my lifetime.

I totally have a great example but the Cancel Police deleted their name from my brain with their flouride lasers or something

ajoebyanyothername ,

You wouldn’t know them, they got cancelled at another school.

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.

Yes. Turning regular people against each other for such tiny perceived sleights has done incredible damage to the cohesion of our society.

Stovetop ,

[email protected] investigated for comment containing “assassinate Biden” in the body.

Viking_Hippie ,

@Stovetop investigated for having a killer body. Also: the moves like Jagger.

Bigoldmustard ,

I investigated your mom. She seems like a person who had a life and then had you and loved you and then had a life with you and I hope you call her soon.
