> It's $1.5 billion for like "emotional damage", essentially, right?
Yeah, and defamation. Kind of insane, right? I mean, all of these giant dollar awards, you have to show actual damages, tallied up, and respondent's counsel is going to hassle you for documentation for every line item. Defamation, like, that's easy: you get fired, you have a speaking engagement cancelled, you can quantify it. You can't quantify emotional distress, but there's a federal cap on intentional infliction of emotional distress.
> To me it reeks of repression and censorship/retaliation for system criticism.
Sure seems that way. The thing is, I'm not sure it's because they think he's a serious threat to the system, just that he's pissed off a large number of the Martha's Vineyard/Upper East Side motherfuckers. Two guys from CNN get caught in separate child sex scandals, he harps on that for months, he goes around with a bullhorn at the DNC calling Bill Clinton a rapist, he drops that video of world leaders wailing under a wooden owl while one of them recites a poem to Moloch, he plays and replays the clip of George Soros describing his duties as a literal snitch for the Nazis and handing Jews over to them (which he describes as "a very happy-making time"), he talks about all of Bill Gates's visits to Epstein's island and speculates that this is what caused his divorce, he uploads videos of unaccompanied little girls crossing the border and getting put into unmarked windowless white vans.
Peter Thiel didn't want to be publicly outed, told Gawker they had better not, Gawker responds by putting "GAY VENTURE CAPITALIST IS SUPER HOMOSEXUAL" on the front page, and then when Hulk Hogan sues Gawker, Thiel tosses some money at Hogan's lawyers, Gawker is gone. And that's just a gay guy in San Francisco that wanted to keep some facets of his personal life private: even the most hard-line religious conservative will have less of a problem with a gay guy than with child trafficking, rape, Moloch, etc. I mean, would you want half the people in Epstein's black book to consider you a problem?
> I personally can't stand Alex Jones and think he's a charlatan moron.
I'll just say that I had this opinion and I watched a few episodes of his show and if you give him a little leeway with colorful use of language and what sort of behaviors constitute a "goblin" or an "interdimensional vampire", he's really just an very entertaining guy that yells about Satan-worshipping globalists and occasionally reads a news article.
I think it's completely legitimate to not be entertained by the guy, but there is kind of a broad gap between what's there and how it's characterized; he's more like Jon Stewart than Art Bell.
