Unfortunately he's probably doing it because he's actually anti-semitic, which will be ammo in lib's guns pointed at us, because "wow you stupid tankies agree with ALEX JONES? That's just MORE PROOF in horseshoe theory! You tankies are just like the right!"

No you dumbass libs we don't agree with Alex Jones. Yes, we want a ceasefire and an end to the genocide, but for entirely different reasons. Context matters. Well, to us anyway. Context doesn't matter to libs, they are incapable of understanding context.

Right wing grifters learned from Trump to occasionally attack from the left, especially on the western war machine.

imaginging a conversation between 2020 me and 2024 me on Bernie Sanders

there would be a lot of yelling

Klandace Owens got fired from Daily Wire for reporting Gaza death figures as well.

I predict we're gonna see alot of the softer leftist-politics-as-personal-branding types start to waffle and water down their rhetoric to the point of uselessness to avoid being associated with these guys.

We do not in fact have to hand it to Alex Jones.

Like, he's the kind of guy who's actually just pushing this because of a slightly different strain of antisemitic brainworms. This isn't an outflank from the 'left'.

robotic

he just couldn't resist could he

I've always had the feeling that Alex Jones was a limited hangout. Call me a conspiracy nut or whatever idc.

I have literally zero proof of him being one either but he seems to swoop in, take a narrative that is inconvenient to the government and either be completely honest about it while sandwiching it between some completely unhinged bullshit or he'll take that narrative, dial it up to 11 and start talking about how it's a plan by the interdimensional Anunnaki to steal our souls, just like what happened to the Aztec empire 5,000 years ago and that's when the Aztec recorded predictions in stone engravings, which have been suppressed by the Mexican government, that there would be a resurgence of Anunnaki activity right now as a herald of the impending apocalypse or some shit.

Does it say something that people like Detestiny are being completely outflanked by Alex Jones? Yes.

Does it trouble me that Alex Jones has suddenly weighed in on this matter? Also yes.

Now double up on the tinfoil for my concluding thoughts...

Given everything that I've said above, does Alex Jones weighing in on this signal that they've completely lost control over the narrative and this is one of their last-ditch attempts at trying to reassert control? Actually yeah, it kinda does.

Woah, that was all like... coherent and stuff. Didn't know he had it in him. Didn't even talk about gay frogs once.

This is starting to align again with all the people who predict Biden will still win. Once the Palestinian cause becomes politicized and turns into the same blue vs red team, once the genocide becomes a question of whether or not you're handing it to Trumpists, it is over.

The neoliberals were definitely correct in pushing the whole Ukraine war as a matter of "western values" and if the Gaza genocide becomes "we can't allow the Axis of Evil/Trump allies to dictate terms" shit then libs will support Biden even harder.

The only reason the Israel propaganda is less effective is the generational issue(gen z doesn't care about Ukraine) and maybe Israel/Zionism went too hard and too fast on the whole "right to defend itself" narrative and it is hard to back off from that.

I'll be interested to see the knowledge fight take on this tbh.

imagine being more on the right than this guy

imma be real, genocide is not right/left question tbh (for purposes of electoralism, where you take politicians as bundled packages of dogshit - it is, but not).

All the libs being like "omg can't you see he's just doing this tonfgrift I can't believe leftists are saying this makes him better than Biden, damn tankies."

Yea we know he's a totally full of shit right wing bigot and genocidal asshole.

That doesn't change the fact he's still better on this topic than Biden even acknowledging this is just completely empty lip service.

That's still better than what Biden has done.

Also Jones hasn't personally authorized the continuation of the genocide, a second way he's better on the topic than Biden.

Social Democracy increasingly losing the title of moderate wing of fascism.
