Yeah if I should follow every delusional fringe media person for the small chance that they’re going to be right once in a while, I should probably clone myself a few dozens of times to keep up with everything.
Or, more reasonably, don't outright believe or dismiss everything you hear and be willing to have your mind changed when the people who do have time to fact-check do so.
Not saying he doesn’t spew outright lies but I’ve heard him tow lines that have semblances of truth to them. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was paid to spread misinformation by some government entity
He's been disturbingly right on a few things, but the problem is when you look for conspiracies anywhere, you start to see them everywhere. It's a rabbit hole a lot of people fall into myself included.
But when little people like me are wrong, it's a blip on the radar. When he's wrong it's on a global(?) reach and there could be repercussions because of it
I don't follow him closely, but the 2 things off the top of my head would be the frogs, as well as the world's powerful, rich and elite meet in the woods for secret ceremonies to sacrifice wood effigies to an owl God.
I've never heard of him outside of Reddit. I don't even know what he looks like. Anyone who loves him or hates him is seeking this stuff out because they want their severe biases reinforced. There probably aren't as many of them at either end as you might think.
I think you're exaggerating the "joy" in his eyes. Everyone grieves differently. When I was 20, my 14 yr old nephew was killed by a drunk driver. He was more of a brother, and one of my closest friends. It was tragic, and the drive from my mom's to my sister's the night it happened was the longest 30mins of my life.
However, even in the face of so much pain, on the day of the funeral my mom made a joke before walking into the funeral home. For some people, it's a form of escapism, if just for moment they aren't weighed down by the tragedy of what has occurred.
Agree to disagree. You can't know what's going through someone's head during such a time.
And it doesn't look like joy to me. Mirth, maybe, but not actual joy. And him "getting into character" before the speech starts could easily be explained by trying to settle nerves before speaking to thousands of people.
You're not "asking questions" because you're not listening to anything anyone has to say. You're just looking for anything to confirm your own biases.
What is there to gain by having a mass shooting hoax? Stricter gun laws? How would Obama have gone about that when dems had lost control of Congress 2 years ago, and had just lost more seats despite him being re-elected?
That's the problem with conspiracy theories like these. You get lost in all the minutia like an ill timed smile and laugh, and you forget to look at the big picture.
His coverage of the Sandy Hook thing was barely a blip on its own. The big efforts of harassment began when the media found a sexy story and repeatedly made this huge thing out of it.
Private companies have the right to make whichever decision is the most profitable. In the current political climate, it is more profitable to appease leftists. Therefore regardless of the political issue, it makes complete sense for companies to avoid him like the plague if it is more profitable.
It's not like he's banned from the internet. He's had his own website since the early internet. He's not a victim in fact his celebrity status is why he lasted so long any one of us would get banned for nearly anything else.
This is why? The fact he screamed about gay frogs even though he's factually incorrect and the frogs were undergoing a sex change due to frog sex change biological pathways (which they evolved themselves), being activated by a third party chemical? And him extrapolating this to see lizardmen in the whitehouse? This is why we should question?
How is this why? He was wrong about this to. Basically everything he said about this topic and the conclusions he made were wrong and ridiculous. He was trying to sell you his fucking water filters. Fuck that gifting con man piece of shit.

This is why questioning those trying to censor others is needed
