he's already diverted his income stream from supplements to a company owned by his father and he openly advertises on Infowars for that. The mainstream right is still inviting him to their events, he was at the TP USA thing in Detroit last week..
I think InfoWars is cooked but Mr. Jones is going to find a way to weasel himself back into some gig that allows him to keep spewing his nonsense. I mean, I really hope you're right but he has a lot more influence and friends than Milo and won't disappear like he did
Yeah, Jones has a big problem, namely that almost no one wants to go to the mat for someone as old as him who got cooked for saying dead kids was a hoax. The right isn't that far gone (yet) and without Infowars, he's more of a liability than an asset.
Like Carlson, he was valuable for his reach. Once his reach is gone, he may be personally fine because he can still get paid by other kooks, but no one is going to want his loser stink associated with them.
I of course hope you’re right. But I can’t help think that another sad, old demented guy tagged for huge court judgments is the GOP nominee for president, and has no trouble separating rubes from their money.
I think the thing is I don't think he has the juice to rebuild and there is a zero percent chance anyone will keep him around as an employee for any amount of time.
Yeah, pretending we can’t actually beat our enemies and refusing to celebrate when one of them has his face ground in the dirt isn’t wisdom, it’s defeatism.
Not deafeatism as much as realism. These clowns just find new ways to monetize and re-up their grift one way or another. Look at all those Q clowns who still have rallys and conferences and monetize their different platforms (X, YouTube, etc.) and just keep rolling along. Q hasn't posted in 4 years
See, this is an extremely common move, getting called on defeatism and then saying it’s just realism and everybody else is being Pollyannas. Look at Tucker Carlson. A giant on the right until he just…wasn’t. Take a night off from telling everyone nothing matters.
even though he could have just gone gently into retirement he is still around and posting and making money from other RW media outlets
plus, I think you're missing the point- as long as there is a market for this nonsense these clowns will lurk about. I don't think he'll ever get back to his past
If you’re telling me Tucker Carlson’s influence is anything but a bare fraction of what it used to me, I’ll only note that whether you’re lying or mistaken, it’s simply not true.
Yeah and there's like only a few dozen of them left, they've all killed each other off. They're harmful but they're nowhere near numerous nor influential as they once were. But that's a "movement," not just a single person. Jones is cooked. He was propped up by really bad people who are now gone
let's hope, like I said earlier in this thread, I wish they would go away but as long as there are people who want this sort of garbage these creeps will keep on keeping on...
I also think that yes, people who are into InfoWars will find other places to get right-wing news and conspiracy content.
BUT this dismantles a machine that was actively (and sometimes quite successfully) getting more people into that world in the first place.
But, but nothing gold can stay! Grief is the price of love! Sadness and death are inevitable! We have already lost! Only the cynic, who risks nothing, can survive!
