You know, there's a big difference between being a devil's advocate and pure idiocy.

Edit: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on whether you've never actually heard of or seen alex jones, here's a quick rundown

Picking 20 seconds out of thousands of hours of your political enemies broadcasts to smear them is the lowest form of propaganda.

How do you know you're not the one being radicalized?

Have you ever tried to listen to Alex in good faith even if you don't agree and try to understand his view at least? Or is your entire perception based off of John Oliver?

Do you think you could pick 20 seconds out of John Olivers footage and make him look like a crazy person?

> impressionable young men have been radicalized to a dangerous degree on the internet. Having the same views on his podcast as conspiracy theory sites, for example, will undoubtedly make it easier for the bad actors running these sites to radicalize JRE listeners

Some would say that claiming the outcome of free speech is radicalization...to be pure idiocy.

And this cancel culture lockdown mentality is possibly why mid terms are going to rough for the left.

I have, he's entertaining. I don't take a single thing seriously. I've spent some time researching on thing he's said, all of it was gross mischaracterizations and exaggerations on any topic. I won't spend any more. I'm not a journalist, that's their job.

That would be fantastic, go ahead. This isn't idolatry.

Well, it is through free speech that radicalization does happen, however, nobody is talking about free speech here. because alex jones can still say whatever he wants. (as long as he can pay for libel/slander fines), you can exercise free speech. deplatforming has nothing to do with free speech.

Probably you should make sure Alex Jones didn't do something horrible like call the sandy hook shooting victims "crises actors" leading to mass harassment campaigns and suicides (that he is currently losing lawsuits over) before you decide to defend a random person for no reason.
