Alex Jones's deplatforming is going to be an interesting structure test, bc Jones is in a very different place from (say) the Daily Stormer.
The actualfa have gotten pretty badly manhandled by deplatforming, because there are few of them and they are generally incompetent.
Alex Jones is a lunatic conspiracy theorist, but he sells merchandise, makes good money, and has a fan base of several million people.
Alex Jones is not a normie and is not respectable, but he is also not isolated and defenseless.
Let's see how he handles this.

The Rock's kids are going to a panda feeding

1/ I thought it best to sleep on Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' interview as I wasn't quite sure what I thought. Here's my take.
2/ In any emotive political issue there is a Venn diagram. In the middle is the reasonable response, and then around it, outside of the centre, are the responses which for whatever reason are overheated - e.g. emotive overreaction, political overreaction, bad faith overreaction
3/ The problem is that if you have a stake in the debate, it isn't always easy to know exactly where the sweet spot is. And every overreaction carries danger as it can lead to a kind of chain reaction of other overreactions. Sacks' comments have led to that as I'll explain.

Hard out here for Gen X, no one cares about us. We are just that small generation wedged between the Boomers and Millenials. Just the invisible middle aged schlubs in the corner.
The thing is, that prospects for most Gen Xers aren't all that much better than for the Millenials except we bought into the dreams and so here we are with kids, houses, and realizing that when we start retiring, we are going to be screwed.
You wake up in your late 30's-mid 40's and start to see the handwriting on the wall. You might be doing okay now but you are going to be saddled with debt until the day you die. That's hoping your kids actually can afford to leave your house and your parents don't need help.

Canada Today, now I am not speaking as my parody here, is a very different place. I was born and raised here by two loving parents who came here legally. I have their citizen certificates to prove it as well. I have always been proud to be Canadian, laughing at people who asked
about our igloos, or dog sleds, and how we were able to handle the freezing cold. There were so many myths that brought us all together as a country, we laughed at Americans who would travel through Europe wearing Canadian flags so they could get treated better. Laughed when
people made fun of our Military, knowing that we have never been defeated. There was a pride, a Canadian Spirit that couldn't be broken. We were taught in school how multiculturalism made a mosaic that was beautiful, the people coming here were proud to stand up and call

Two days later, everyone is sick of the @michelleisawolf #WHCD takes. So I thought I'd drive right into the abyss, go long, and look at how the routine is structured. I've been a fan for a long time; that will be obvious. This will take 3 days.
I want to highlight 3 things: voice, pacing, contempt. Even this insanely long thread doesn't get at everything going on in the routine—the eye work is great—but if this was the last #WHCD, the even deserves an epic sendoff, S/Z style.
1. The first remark draws attention to the room, and immediately conveys her sense that the event is BAD. It's in what I'll call normal voice—the voice she uses to seemingly step out of the performance. That voice speaks in monosyllables and simple syntax.

As yesterday was Israel’s National holocaust memorial day where six million Jews were sent to their deaths, it seems appropriate to write a thread explaining both the real #FarRight and the #FarLeft in Britain and their obsession with the Jews. 1/17
Why have #Labour under #Corbyn got so much in common with the #BNP under #NickGriffin that both he and the Daily Stormer have endorsed the #Labour Party? They must undoubtedly now be the broadest of broad churches. 2/17
Most of my followers will have heard of the horseshoe theory. The theory is both the #FarLeft and #FarRight at the extremes are so alike they almost touch. Both are totalitarian, authoritarian, anti-Semetic and hate filled. 3/17
