The plan to eradicate the internet with the infinity gauntlet is a very good one but I think a more financially savvy move would be to allow users to pay money not to be erased. Then you erase them.

I'd say that if a corporation not letting someone say something results in elected officials publicly endorsing/condemning the move then yes the government does care about it.

Since Jones is looking for publishers you should offer him a front page writing gig.

dothisdothisdothis.

It can't hurt to ask. Tell him honestly that SA is probably not his demographic, but you support his right to have his writings published.

It'll provide some good comedy material for the forums, his followers will probably spend a couple months of server fees making accounts and getting banned, which provides even more laughs. We can take the influx of stupidity. It will be like a late-summer festival of idiocy. Its a win-win all around.

Either way, keep writing Lowtax. It was your front page articles that brought me to SA years ago, well before my reg date.

I've never heard of this Alex Jones character before, but after reading your article I decided to check him out and he actually has some pretty good points. I smashed that like button, slammed that subscribe, and signed up as a leadership circle member on his patreon page. Thanks for helping spread the truth, op.

I don't think we should encourage people to encase alt-right social media celebrities in concrete. I recommend a transparent epoxy, so you can see them like an alt-right jello fruit salad.

Legit read your article, and laughed my rear end off. I hate twitter too. I had created my first twitter account, noticed a dumb politician saying a dumb thing, told them "OMG just shut up please" and had my account suspsended within a few minutes. I have no idea why I ended up giving it a try again two more times (probably because I'm a moron).

Yeah, first SA article I've read in a while and yes, I will start reading the site a lot more often so you don't end up on some street corner, giving blowjobs for food.
