I’m inclined to agree with this. Jones doesn’t seem like someone trying to sell a bunch of crazy conspiracy theories which he doesn’t believe himself. He seems like he’s just genuinely batshit crazy.

Fair point, albeit a different one from the one I was making.
Oh, I’m not blaming you at all, I’m just commenting on the article
Misleading title. Not incorrect, but it is based on what the source of income is, it is not about how rich you are relative to the rest of the population. The title makes it sound like if you make a certain amount of money, your tax rate is lowered. Alternatively, it sounds like the richest Dutch are evading 12% worth of taxes. But neither of these are true statements AFAIK, and either way they aren’t made in the article, so the title is misleading.
Edit: Changed “the top 1%” to “the richest Dutch”.
I agree with that, it’s important to consider what’s being advertised and in what way.
I’ve seen their ads in Sweden before IIRC. They don’t seem to be very common though. Why don’t you like that they’re advertising?
Since when is Joe Rogan bad enough to warrant getting shot in the first place? I feel like the guy has said some bad (and far more dumb) things but it’s not like he poses any kind of danger to anyone does he? I know this is besides the point, but murder is far from proportional to anything (that I am aware of) that Joe has been known to do. With that said I don’t really know much about what he’s been up to for the past 5 years or so.
So even if Biden is a bad candidate we should pretend like he’s not because the alternative is worse? Trump is absolutely much worse, but that doesn’t make Biden good. Why do we have to sell him as an above average candidate when he’s not? Honestly I don’t really see your point here. Claiming that Biden is bad doesn’t make Trump any better. I’d also like to clarify that I never said that anyone should not vote for Biden. And I definitely don’t endorse voting for Trump as an alternative.
Above average Democrat? Please, the guy has dementia. And no, I’m not a right winger, and I obviously think Trump is a worse option. But Biden isn’t above average anything at this point. He’s barely awake.
Unless, you know, they got unlucky and got sick anyways.
