Infowars

Post by Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz »

I really like Infowars. I don't know why, but when ever I feel down, I watch some Infowars and I feel a lot better.

It's great satire of the far right. I think some people even believe it's real.

A lot of the things it says I agree with, but often it will say something that is so absurd and I can have a good laugh.

I'm not sure why he thinks that.
In fact, brimstone cited it once as if it were a legitimate source in our debate about Bernie Sanders.
During the primaries, brimstone wrote:As per point 3, it's still irrelevant.
Sanders let the BLM people speak: he gave them a platform. That's inciting violence too, by giving a potentially violent movement the tools to do so. Sanders supporters may be doing more actual violence than Trump supporters.

I think that's more relevant than the many possible hoaxes around Trump rallies, where protesters have created violence in order to make Trump look bad.
Lots of rumors....

Who knows how much truth is in either side.

There have been people calling for Trump's assassination:

Note: The substance of this is invalid; there is no evidence that Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton have ever incited violence. Trump has actually incited violence by encouraging his supporters to assault protesters.
In addition, as for assassination attempts, Trump himself subtly encouraged his supporters to assassinate Hillary if she were elected. That's on a different level from individual people on one side or the other calling for an assassination attempt.

Infowars is run by Alex Jones, who is a really insane right-wing lunatic. As far as anybody knows, though, he is not satirical. In fact, Trump has said very positive things about him.
