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.

        You’re free to leave. Unlike what America is becoming… you’ve got that freedom here.

        Bye.

          You’re right, I can leave. Although I have that freedom in America too, so I’m not sure why you think that statement made any sense.

          And just like with America I can stay and try to make it better. But I just regularly get reminded how low the common denominator is here. Keep defending it. Really proving what an intellectual independent thinker you are.

        Explaining the many reasons why America is broken could take quite a while. Some sentiments are best summed up in a few words.

          The post isn’t about America, they could have easily explained why this particular system is broken. But, hey, empty shitting on America is simple and sure to get some upvotes. Definitely what we should all be aiming for.

            You’ve somehow missed that Alex Jones is a US citizen, and part of the reason he can earn money from this game is because the US is so broken.

            None of that is hard to understand.

              Lol I love how I missed something that wasn’t even said. Why not just admit you really don’t know what’s wrong? Or that, for all you know this could be progressing normally and reasonably?
