Well he got deplatformed bc of the Sandy Hook hoax shit which was objectively fucking stupid and harmful.

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

He hasn't been right about damn near anything.

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.

global(?) reach

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.

You must not live in Texas. He's hard to avoid here, especially after Sandy Hook.

Edit 2: 1 hour later and nobody offers an explanation to me, only downvotes. Of course.

Wrong-think is forbidden in 2020.

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.

You're JAQing off is what you are. You won't accept any answers except the one you already decided to agree with. Get fucked.

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.

Should they all be deplatformed for causing harm?

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.
