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.

    There is a gay person in my life that I love, and they live a meaningful, fulfilling life. I love gays. Great fun.

    What I don’t like seeing them being irrelevantly dragged into arguments in an attempt to distract and score cheap points.

    This has nothing to do with showing that the claims made by pizzagate are impossible.

      Cool. There are gay people I love too. Wouldn’t change a thing about them.

      Dude, you’re the one obsessed with this particular photo.

      Sure am. You see someone showed it to me in a document they linked. They called the dossier the best evidence of pizzagate. That dossier has this particular photo. It even said “We might as well start with this picture of a girl taped to a table, which is probably the most widely referenced one.” Of course, that " girl taped to a table" was standing on the floor with her arms affixed to a table with masking tape, and not even a lot of tape.

      That photo sure stirred up a frenzy. My claim was that anytime anything that is purported to be concrete evidence is investigated, it sure looks like nothing upon inspection. The pizzagater always plays the Homonym Game. “I was talking about a different photo?” Well, I’m talking about this photo.

      So if you argue that frenzies show there must be something happening, I will point to THIS picture. Because it is THIS that picture that by itself caused a frenzy. Read the words around the picture. Then read my proposal of the only definition of pizzagate i can agree with

      Pizzagate: The believe that real world damage can be caused simply by never admitting any harmless explanations regardless of plausibility.

      So 4chan decides to use Pizzagate as a weapon to sick on this shop owner and his friends and family. It fits just fine.

      You act like I’m cherry-picking, because you know most people aren’t going to check, and the kinds of people that do check don’t fall for this shit.

      Well, that piece of “evidence” is clearly trash. Anyone trying to sell it to me thinks I’m stupid. Why would I bother?

      Do you have a dossier that does NOT include wastes of time?
