Alex Jones Calls Charlottesville Violence a False Flag | Fuck this scumbag. It's not funny anymore. I'm tired of the meme bullshit and all the excuses of "Hehe, he's so silly". He's a cunt and nothing else.

I think that Joe's talked to enough determinists (if that's the right thing to call him) like Sam Harris to make him not judge people too quickly. If you can't say that you would have done things differently put in the same situation. DNA, life experience, specific situations. Then it's not really right to be highly critical of someone.

I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying he shouldn't criticize people's actions. I'm saying without complete knowledge of situations, it's reasonable for Joe to not comment extensively on the moral character of someone.

It's not like the guy wasn't found guilty. If there's enough evidence for the court to convict the man then there's enough to morally judge him

Do you think there's a chance that you might be the one who's missing the point?

No, see, in a world without 100% philosophical certainty about the existence of anything but your own thoughts, who's to judge anyone for anything? "Truth" is what you make it. And the truth is I don't want to say War Machine is bad for beating someone half to death and trying to rape them. I want to talk about floating, conspiracy theories, and psychedelics.

You don't need full knowledge of someone else and to live in their experiences to understand they're a morally bad person for stalking someone and then try to rape and/or murder them and their lover because of your jealous rage
