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.
🤣
I hope they keep Alex Jones’s communism financing operation going.
Counterpoint, it was already stupid.
Is it The Onion? Or Not the Onion?
Yes
Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I’m a bit confused.
It’s not satire, they are purchasing it for real.
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.
So…the onion is now donating money to Alex Jones.
Thats kinda fucked.
That’s not how bankruptcy filings work
nope
Where did they move? Where is Alex Jones on now?
I think he’s getting sued or something
THEY TURNED THE FREAKIN FROG GAY!!!
ITS NOT FUNNY!!!
Wait, is it real?
This is the best thing that’s ever happened
This is so weird, I just read a comment on Lemmy where someone said they should do exactly this.
ben also replied saying he’d hold it for knowledge fight, so there’s an incredible chance we might see knowledge fight use it at some point.
“Tim onion” got an irl lol out of me
im sorry but the owner’s name is tim onion. please publish a correction.
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!
like this?
Memes come and go too fast for that.
I wonder what they paid 🤣
To quote the Onion themselves:
No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.
Their adherence to the technically correct is awe-inspiring.
