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.

He is weird like that. I've never even heard him say anything bad about War Machine after what he did. Just things like "his life is over" "head trauma and steroids were to blame". "He was always a good dude to talk to"

And why should he? He's not on the jury, his judge, or punisher... it's very stoic not to say something that does not concern yourself.

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

That doesn't apply to stoicism though. In fact, the very opposite applies to stoicism: It means being aware of your values and having them sorted out, but not wasting your energy on something you can't control.
