Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.

    oh no. let his idiot followers think it was a conspiracy. the more riled up they get, the more likely they’ll do something stupid that ends with them in prison or dead. no, let’s stir the pot.

        i think the next time they grab up torches and pitchforks, the military will intervene. that’s probably our best hope since most of the good citizens of the left are cowards. the sooner we get it over with, the sooner this country can go forward.

      That would quite possibly also entail them killing random innocent people or indoctrinating more. No thanks.

      That’s not how things work, though. Sure, some of them would wind up in prison. So? A negligible impact.

      Do you think January 6 was organic? If so, you haven’t been following the investigations. It was an attempted coup, and the more people the extremist right can get riled up and ready to commit violence where directed, the more likely the next attempt is to succeed.
