Interested in owning Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory empire, Infowars? Its parent company, Free Speech Systems, is now officially up for sale following the approval of a Texas bankruptcy judge on Tuesday.
It would be a lot more work, but keeping the same design and covertly moving to factual content, and rewriting/debunking the existing garbage would be an interesting experiment.
It might be useful to convert some of the conspiracy nuts that follow it already.
I think Dan and Jordan should get all the emails addresses from Infowars’ mailing list and send out stackies full of carefully laid out dissections of Alex Jones’s show. Might actually get through to a few people.
Right wing grifters would. Insane alt right freaks have a positive association with the website. As long as the new owners don’t run their mouth about murdered children, they’ll be free to spread as much trash to the feeble minded as they please.
Jones should get a court-ordered ankle bracelet, and every time someone loads that website, it sends out a shock. Each shock should act as a reminder to all the misery he’s inflicted on so many people.
Could do all sorts of things with it!
Accept donations for all the groups Inforwars insulted or hurt in any way.
For yucks, put up a poll for how terrible a person Alex Jones is.
Add a form for recommendations on other fun things to with the site.
The assets will be sold at auction but do they hold any value after all this? Does anyone really WANT infowars.com at this point?
I think whoever buys infowars(dot)com should donate it to Dan and Jordan of the Knowledge Fight Podcast. That would be the perfect way to end things.
It should redirect to https://www.knowledgefight.com
Yep, that’s what I said.
Sorry, I read it as they should be given the domain to do with as they please. I was suggesting what they should do with the domain.
Adding URLs for context in a discussion is always good. The average reader is extremely lazy.
Edit: the deleted reply said “I don’t care that you’re lazy.”
So, username checks out, and way to prove that you’re definitely an effective communicator lmao.

Set up an alex jones AI impersonator to keep posting but slowly morph into A liberal over a few months
Dan would never do that. He already stated they would be deleted.
Stackies?
This guy doesn’t know about stackies

I’m all but assuming the domain name will be pointing to a Russian IP address soon after it’s sold at auction.
I mentioned it in another post, but I think TheOnion should buy the domain.
Well…!
I called it!
I’d love to see George Soros pursue it and dedicate the site as a memorial to the Sandy Hook kids as well as show the dangers of extremism.

I Do! I’d spend hundreds for it.

His sycophantic crypto bro asshole friends will try to bail him out. They’ve already been sending money his way.
i agree. without being the bullshit machine it was designed to be, it loses all its value
I think it would be hilarious if someone bought it, kept the same design, and told the truth.
If I had fewer scruples, I could probably run a pretty good scam for a while.
How much do you think it’ll be to buy an Infowar?
I’m sure that that’s plenty of physical equipment and maybe a few buildings owned by Infowars that someone will be interested in.
