I fought the info and the info won

[–] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe one day we’ll learn to stop waging wars on nouns, the nouns keep winning.

It’s nice to see these small victories against disinformation engines such as Alex Jones.

And you're doing your part 🫡

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'll sue.

You didn't even do it right.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You didn't even do it right.

I prefer to think of it as a visual meme collage that shows a before and after shot.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'll allow it.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is wonderful news, can't wait to hear what Dan and Jordan from Knowledge Fight move onto next

[–] nyar@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Alex will make a new platform.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That is highly likely what Jones will do, unfortunately.

As well as hide his income behind all kinds of shell corporations

[–] tyler@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The shell corps don’t protect in this case

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah they do. The fact that the company structure is deliberately set up to hide who owns what is one of the main impediments to carrying out the sentence.

They can't take something that belongs to a shell corp that he's not listed as the sole owner of until they prove that he de facto is, and a lot of it is registered in his parents' name for that exact fraudulent purpose.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 2 points 4 months ago

I'm saying for his next disinformation show

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Have you seen how dumb his shell companies are? Like how he says on air he's shipping his product to his dad's warehouse but that are totally not related companies

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

He'll join Cucker Tarlson and Melon Tusk on Telegram and Xitter.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 33 points 4 months ago

:woot: !! Every step closer to poverty is a victory!

[–] genuineparts@infosec.pub 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

His organs have some value too right? I mean not much I admit. But sell his kidneys and liver.

[–] ZeroCool@vger.social 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

and liver.

Nah his liver's gotta be worthless. If you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast (which does a great job of debunking Alex and Infowars) you'll notice pretty quickly that Alex clearly hasn't been sober for more than 24 hours at a time in years. He's a raging alcoholic.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m sure some research scientist somewhere would offer $0.25 for it.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands of them in that condition....

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Username checks out.

I love this song!
