As far as comparisons to TotalBiscuit go I think fatal ass cancer is a worse outcome than loosing that massive Patreon. On the other hand, though TotalBiscuit knowing that he was going to fucking die made him a bit better with money for the sake of his family, even if monetary costs of trying to treat late stage cancer eliminated most of that effort at least he fucking tried.

Sargon on the other hand didn't realize he his income would die and took his wife on a vacation to Greece simply to apologize for flirting with and possibly fucking trannies.

Uh, no it didn't. His wife revealed how they could never afford the house they had and when no work plus cancer treatments caused them to re-evaluate their situation, John flat out refused to give up the house because he liked it. He knowingly left her with a bunch of debts because he didn't want to move to somewhere a bit less nice

Well that is immensely depressing.

In her defense, it's probably pretty hard to tell your dying husband to smarten up or fuck off

 

[Solzhenitsyn]

Well that is immensely depressing.

It's a lot worse than that. She lost her father earlier in the year, and was treated for endometrial cancer (seriously). Most of TotalBiscuit's associates deserted her after his death and many of his fans despise her. She feels obligated to carry on his podcasts but takes no enjoyment in doing so.
I don't feel sorry for many lolcow spouses, but she's had a fucking shit year.

 

[AnOminous]

It was foolhardy for Sargon to rely completely on one singular platform, a lot of the internet e-celebs harp on about having a secure free speech payment platform, but those with the largest reach who could effectively form a business partnership or some sort of funding system to make their own platform have failed to do so, so far.

All those require access to the banking system in some way or another. If the pressure is coming from that sector, any competitor is fucked and is going to have to kick off the same blacklisted people. Hey, maybe if it works on even these big guys, they can just start going after minor individuals and just any groups of people they don't like. Donated to the wrong political party? No checking account for you!

Maybe his next move will involve a heavy duty rope, a chair, and a sturdy beam.

Best be a really sturdy beam.

Spoiler

Because he's fat.

As for the fuck Sargon crowd, you need seperate the principle from the man. You may think he's an idiot brainlet with an overly large platform. You may even disagree with him. That is fine. What is not fine however is for someone to be driven out of the political debate by the actions of colluding corporate powers controlled by an opposing political ideology. This is a dangerous precedent to allow to stand. You may hate that Carl will be the face of this, and the idea of Benjamin v. Patreon in the Supreme Court of the United States challenging the constitutionality of Section 230 of the communications decency act and the legality of online payment processors deplatforming "hateful political speech", but the truth is you don't often get to choose the time and place of the battle.

Just wanted to repeat this:

Laughing at karma biting Carl in the ass, and being concerned/troubled at the precedent this is setting, are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Also Carl's not going to be the "face" of much of anything. As soon as the clips of him that have been made with him saying every single slur he could think of, "depends on the child", and other more ridiculous gaffes hit the mainstream - and I mean they start showing the clips instead of just quoting them in articles, because they will - any and all associates of his in this will drop him like they dropped the alt-right label.

From what I understand, your only options for payment processing online are Paypal, Amazon, or else some really niche porn website payment processors like OrbitalPay. Unfortunately, even the Porn processors seem to be on the take as they blacklisted Gab along with everyone else. You would think there would be more of them, but there just aren't. Fun story, almost all of them are also located in California. Its almost like they are all able to meet each other in a smoke filled room or something.

Carl should probably give his pal Steve Banon a call and see if he can get a meeting with the Justice Department. I know Sessions was threatening Anti-Trust actions earlier in the year. I have no reason to think that particular ball has not stopped rolling just because there is a new Attorney General. Incidentally, Facebook has recently hired the head of the California branch of the US DOJ's anti-trust division to be one of its litigation directors

 

[Sheryl Nome]

I'm actually not sure if what he said meets the legal definition of obscenity, which is what is needed for them to have legal justification to ban him.

They can ban anyone for any reason at any time for TOS violations, and if you try to sue them the case gets dismissed because of the arbitration clause.

He literally can't do shit

 

[BeanBidan]

Sounds like Kevin sure is suggesting it.

 

[John Carmack]

And about as cancerous.

To think that he could've avoided this entirely, if only he hadn't been such a white nigger about things...

That's all he had to do. Just make normie-friendly videos about history and warfare and he could have carved out a nice niche for himself as a fatter version of Lindy Beige.

This is the same shit Josh tried to bring up yesterday, no one (or at least the vast majority) here thinks this is genuinely a good thing and laughing at Carl has never been mutually exclusive with the principle you're appealing to.

Ever since they deplatformed Alex Jones its been one "problematic" online pundit after another. This time though Silicon Valley may have really stepped in it, because unlike the other online pundits he is actually considered a major figure in recognized political party. We could argue whether or not UKIP is a meme or if Carl is actually important to it, but the fact stands that his membership and the use of his platforms to advance UKIP as a political party gives an extra layer of official status to Carl that even Alex Jones lacked. The fact that this is a US based company targeting an individual in another nation also lands this in Federal Court by default. And the only way this can be resolved is if Carl takes it all the way to the Supreme Court and gets them to strike down section 230 for being unconstitutionally vague, as well as to apply a smack down on Silicon Valleys manifest illegal collusion.

Being a member of UKIP does not give legitimacy, its too small a party and even in that party Carl is basically a bit player. Like if I join the republican party and get my membership and my patreon gets nuked does that I mean I'm more legit than Alex Jones now? Hell what would legitimacy even mean in a fucking legal context? Maybe in a political context legitimacy could be used to apply more pressure or encourage more fundraising. But really ask yourself this, who would fund a legal contest against a massive tech company in favor of a UKIP member who is at best an advisor to Batten while having a history of using numerous racial epithets and has expressed arguably misogynistic views?
Your heart might be in the right place but you are not thinking this out man.

He didn't even need to limit it to that. If he'd have just not developed the habit of liberal(ist)ally using vocabulary he'd picked up on the chans, there'd have never been an issue. Acting like an anon with your name and address out there is just daring people to teach you a lesson

or, if he just stuck to "This week in stupid" he would have been fine as long as he kept his sperging to himself...right? I'm assuming () there isn't anything there that would have gotten his patreon killed.

 

[Goku 1000000 O]

I think the important question here is, has he seen white nibbas?
Didn't he refuse to go stage with Faith Goldy because she went a little alt-right, how is he gonna square that in his head with Carl?

If Peterson had 2 brain cells to rub together, he would stay as far away as possible from Carl and his reverse Midas Touch.

Yeah and this leaves out the fact that Allsup is literally an (extremely extremely minor) elected official in the GOP and doesn't scream racial epithets at every opportunity. None of these people are good rallying points, but Carl is probably the worst of them.

Nothing happend when Alex Jones got unpersoned, and that guy has a much higher profile. He would be a pretty good rallying point, but nothing happened there aside from (((Nonprofits))) awarding Apple for convincing Silicon Valley to delete him.

He just posted this, I think he's a little exceptional himself. Remember how he threatened to sick his 4chan trolls on a news station?
