Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
🤣
Great idea. Who didn’t like the Colbert Report? Could turn out like a right-wing populist Repor!
But he’s got a serious side. You know what those globalists are doing…
LoL, AJ lost the Info War. 🤣👍
This should be good…
Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?
They own his IP rights so can just clone him into an AI bot
Makes sense. They keep him contained somewhere to ramble, while appropriately inducted and vetted comedians interpret, neutralize and transmit his bullshit and make it funny.
An oracle of comedy situation.
Aside from the official licensing, you essentially just described Knowledge Fight.
This is what I call a master class on starting a soft revolution: you take over a symbol of the opposite ideology, in the most outrageous and ridiculous way, make it known to all, and completely subvert it and deconstruct it, piece by piece, until it stops making any sense to its former self.
Like the right keeps doing with memes!
And CNN
Memes come and go too fast for that.
And yet a meme from a decade ago is about to become a government office
Which one?
Doge. Much old. Very beaten into ground
Oh. That one.
like this?
and words too. Even words get to mean exactly their antonyms :/
This was not on my bingo card.
Gaetz?
i’ve just read that quote
Counterpoint, it was already stupid.
Yes, but this time it will be on purpose.
Alien diarrhea is the real cause of global warning!
i didn’t know that 🤯
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
For me, the cherry on top is how the “InfoWars” name is still completely apt, for completely different reasons.
Reformatting InfoWars as a serious, unironic branch of the Onion that deals with misinformation would just be great.
That would be hilarious. I’d love for it to wind up just doing serious journalism
Every so often, I see a car with an InfoWars bumper sticker.
I wonder what those people will do?
No idea. Maybe they’ll keep it like the Gadsden Flag holdout libertarians? “We were here first” and all that.
Honestly, I was thinking about the people out there with tattoos. There has to be at least one.
I gotta find out what the Knowledge Fight folks have to say about this.
I am waiting for the next episode to drop. Biggest episode ever.
Is Dan the loud one? I’ve never learned their names, but I’m waiting for him to scream something about them horning in on their territory.
Dan is the guy that knows stuff. Jordan is the loud sidekick comic relief.
Where is Alex Jones on now?
Hasn’t Trump appointed him head of media relations, or something equally as stupid?
If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I’ll be convinced that this is all a simulation.
I would love that. The only person on earth less coherent than Trump. Imagine the memes we would get out of that.
That pushed me over the edge to subscribe to the print edition
Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.
This is beyond mear irony.
How could you tell the difference?
Fucking awesome. Onion has been hitting it hard lately, and this is just the cherry on top. I am hopeful this makes some chuds question their minds.
This is so weird, I just read a comment on Lemmy where someone said they should do exactly this.
It was a good idea. Makes sense multiple people thought of it, including the onion
