But people haven't been completely "unpersoned" in the way & manner that the powers that be addressed the Alex Jones "problem". That's the crux of my view, like him, don't like him, that's erroneous....hate what he did with Sandy Hook? Erroneous.

Walter Durranty of the New York Times denied The Holodomor, in writing, for the NYT, and won a Pulitzer for his efforts....about 4 Million people/13% of the population of Ukraine at the time were purposely starved to death by Stalin.

Better? Worse? Same? Oh that happened so long ago.


Alex Jones is the canary in the coal mine. If they can unperson him, if they can unperson Milo, if they can unperson Gavin McInnes, if they can unperson Laura Loomer, if they can unperson PRESIDENT TRUMP etc etc then why can't they unperson me or you or anyone else? That's my take.

People should be allowed to say bad shit. People should be able to call out bad shit. Those things should occur in the open for all to see, hear, discuss. But muting someone, shutting their bank account refusing service based solely on political views...that is wrong.




by the way, actual White Supremacist/Nazi, CNN contributor, and Joe Biden voter Richard B. Spencer is still on twitter in case anyone was wondering if there was any kind of limit to what IS or is NOT acceptable to them.


How about just holding people accountable, Kabong?

"Unperson"?? Is this yet another one in what now seems like an avalanche of societal terms I find so hard to keep up with?

You can call it "unperson him." You can call it "cancel him." You can say that those offended were "triggered." Frankly... and with all due respect... I don't give a shit what anyone wants to call it.

Alex Jones should have been held accountable for the pain and suffering he caused on the many parents and families that were destroyed by Sandy Hook.

Again... it wasn't just an emotional outburst, for which he later felt contrition and apologized. NO. He drove the nail home again and again and again.

Had a Sandy Hook parent paid to have him whacked at some point... I would've personally raised money for that person's legal defense.

Why should a person like Jones be allowed a platform to continually spread his brand of hatred, mistrust, misinformation, and just plain social disease?

He can say whatever he feels like in the street, where maybe a precious few will gather round to hang on his every word.

But on social media he's just plain useless and dangerous.

"Canary in the coal mine"?? You mean there are more Alex Joneses out there just waiting to see how much leeway is granted to this jerk so they can establish their own YouTube accounts and gather thousands of followers?

Gee... then I guess in this case it's probably for the better if the "canary suffocates", so the miners know not to go in there.
