Aye, but funnily enough the dick pills are the only way to guarantee he can still stay in business. Maybe paypal will have a moral duty to cancel his account.

Not just staying in business though, but it seems he's gotten pretty damn rich off it. That John Oliver guy (who is of course biased but still) showed a clip of him explaining why he needed to wear a 6000 dollar watch, something to do with him needing to wear the skin of the globalist demons or something

People can make serious money from Youtube alone, add in selling crap or pateron and its money printing time.

I think it's funny. The way some of his supporters bitch and moan, if it was the other way round, there would be several million posts about butthurt libtards crying for their safe spaces.
Seems like the other side has some very tender rectums indeed.

Yea just not sure of your point. I think people are being manipulated into thinking they should play the lottery 'it could be you' but I'd prefer people can do what they want then start protecting the great unwashed. I'm sure his supplements are pretty much the same as any others in their market. If he's doing stuff that breaks the law it'll have no problem catching up with him.

Ok maybe he's breaking policies of the sites that banned him, should he have the ability to earn a living or get rich by legal means? If one site bans you should all others? What about normal businesses?

It's going to be interesting to see how starkly opinions change when this flips on someone who decent people agree with, or who the other side have mobbed out of town.

So what rules did he break on LinkedIn?

Violated terms of service apparently. Their statement below.

"We have removed the InfoWars company page for violating our terms of service. We value the professional community on LinkedIn and strive to create a platform where the exchange of ideas by professionals can happen without harmful misinformation, bullying, harassment or hate.

We encourage our members to report any inappropriate content or behavior. We investigate and if it is in violation take action, which could include removing the content or suspending the account."

Of course but I'd be interested to see what he did there.

I don't know that you can compare FB to Linkedin etc but after Martin McGuinness passed away I called John Major a "f***ing hypocritical ***" and was reported and banned for 24 hours.

A few weeks ago I was called a "stupid white English (sic) bi*tch who should f***ing die".

Apparently that did not violate FBs community standards. :rolleyes:

Brendan O'Neill from spiked online spoke very well about the banning of Alex Jones only makes his ideas go underground where they can,t be challenged as much.

I didnt realise there was anybody actually challenging his ideas, except in a court of law. There is nothing to challenge. You cant challenge bat**** crazy and Jones has no interest in a dialogue. And he still has his website so hardly underground. Leave him to his crazy supporters.

It might be an issue if the people who listened to Jones were the type of person to pay any heed of common sense.

Possibly because his company, Infowars, was on the Linkedin platform, therefore you can take your pick from the below

"harmful misinformation, bullying, harassment or hate"

His views weren't challenged - I can't listen to it in work but I wonder if Brendan O'Neill went to any comment section for Jones' content, nothing but validation of insane theories and burying of rational skepticism

Echo chambers validated by being hosted on major platforms

Piers Morgan had Alex Jones on his show a few years ago where he was challenged, by having Jones on the show Morgan left Jones expose himself as nut in front of an audience, far better approach then banning Alex Jones driving him underground.

And while I agree with his point on the first 30 seconds of that video, I really can't listen to much more or Morgan than that, and as soon as Jones starts with "We did it as a way..." click.

Look, Trump's election is a symptom of a problem across the developed world - we're moving past manufacturing and other low skilled jobs that a large body of people have relied on, to now. Trump and other snake oil salesmen promised to return that, which is of course bull****. Nothing to do with no-platforming or whatever leftist boogeyman is your favourite.

As far as Alex Jones being removed from Youtube et al. I can't say I'll shed any tears. His ****e caused innocent families to be harassed and threatened. **** him and anyone like him who perpetuates that dangerous claptrap.

The problem with Jones and other conspiracy nuts is that their beliefs preclude them ever accepting evidence to the contrary. They believe the world is against them so of course, anything you say is just lies. And the same applies to the people that believe it. There's no point in debate because you'll never shake the faith of the true believers. All you can do is stop these harmful ideas being perpetuated in the first place.

Which I do find quite amusing, given the number of people here who will argue the same about Islam but fall over themselves defending Jones et al.. One rule for thee, and all that.

But yet Jones is more popular now than he was back then

Because a large percentage of people are racist, hatefull, batsh*t insane, mentally ill arseholes with room temperature IQs and a crushing inferiority complex. And tiny dicks. Genetic garbage. Halfwits. Inbred Hicks.
And there seems to be more and more of them.
I think humanity is devolving. To these people the Renaissance is just something that happened to other people.
People who strike a match in the dark to check if the light is really gone out.
People who, if they were any stupider, would have to be planted and watered twice weekly.
With a bit of luck they'll forget to breathe and suffocate.

He's a ****ing **** of the highest order. Fair play for removing him, I wouldn't want my business to be seen hosting his sort of ****.

The Sandy Hook thing is particularly galling and shows him for what he really is.

And for some reason, a bunch of Irish people fell for the American partisan nonsense that this was some kind of partisan issue in which this was only happening because Jones is popular with the idiots who happen to think they're conservatives.

I see no other explanation for the fact that someone like Alex Jones has millions of followers.
There is nothing positive, informative, ironic, satirical or tongue in check about it.
It is pure hate and people lap it up.
Of course it's also pure cynical on his part, as it's simply his paycheck.
The man is garbage. And so is anyone supporting or defending him.

I said your standard, not your opinions. It's just such an odd societal blindspot recently. "It's OK to say I hope people die because I think they're bad people."

You're the one thinking people should die. No offense but I think I'll hang out with the loons who don't share abhorrent views.

That was more a comment on the level of intelligence of his supporters. I bet they wear headphones with a voice that says "breathe in...breathe out...breathe in...breathe out".
If they take them out, they die. Their knuckles bleed from being dragged on the ground. There are bacteria that can outsmart them. Their only good fortune is when the Zombie Apocalypse comes. They will be safe. I could go on.
While I don't care about the physical well-being of Mr Jones, I don't wish him any particular harm. My views are not abhorrent, they are the views any normal thinking person should have about that slimeball and his fans. And it is a sad indictment of humanity that a lot of people don't.
Alex Jones is a symptom of the deep ugliness and mental illness of the human race.
