Big Tech’s “canceling” of Alex Jones made him a martyr for free speech and only resulted in him becoming mainstream, which could bode well for others in the future, influencer and entrepreneur Tristan Tate recently told Tucker Carlson.
Asked whether freedom of speech could be better or worse in five years, the brother of male empowerment guru Andrew Tate told Tucker on Twitter he’s optimistic with figures like Tucker, Elon Musk and Alex Jones fighting the good fight, but noted Jones sustained the brunt of the attack.
“It all depends on what shifts happen, who wins the next elections, how effective cancellations are,” Tate responded, going on to describe how HBO host Bill Maher came to Jones’ defense after the Infowars host was the first casualty in Big Tech’s war on free speech.
“So let’s take Alex Jones. You don’t have to agree with everything Alex Jones says. I like Alex Jones. I don’t agree with everything Alex Jones says. And you don’t have to. But Bill Maher famously, and credit to him, said when Alex Jones got banned, he said, ‘we shouldn’t be banning people.’ He said, ‘I hate Alex Jones, but Alex Jones should be allowed to talk. Everyone should be allowed to talk in the Town Square,’” Tate recalled.
“I feel like when they got Alex Jones, there was no safety net,” Tate continued, adding, “He is a warrior, and he continued fighting, and now he’s back in the mainstream. Good for him. But he was relegated to his own site with his own servers, streaming every day to small audiences after they axed him off YouTube. Cancellation, no one defended him, no one.”
Carlson went on to reveal how his former employer Fox News also failed to defend Jones despite themselves being a target for cancellation.
“I was on vacation that day, I was fishing out of the country, and the company that I worked for, which is supposedly in favor of free speech, said not one word in his defense,” Carlson noted.
“And it’s like, first they came for Alex Jones, yeah, it’s the old, it’s the old adage,” Tate said, adding that cancellation of his brother Andrew only served to make him more popular than ever.
“So now there is a, I don’t want to call it a Counter Culture, but if you cancel people… Look, they canceled Andrew. How successful was that? He’s sitting here with you today, yeah. He’s bigger than ever, his voice is louder than ever now, thanks to people like Alex Jones who took the initial brunt of the weapon, the cancellation weapon.”
The two-time European kickboxing champion went on to explain while there are positive developments in the arena of free speech, such as Musk’s purchase and overhaul of Twitter, his own months-long incarceration makes him cautiously optimistic about the future.
So the optimist in me would like to look at the trend line and say things are getting better, as compared to when they canceled Alex six, seven years ago. It does feel that way, yeah. It does feel that way, so I’m going to be hopeful for the future, but also, I don’t know what these people are capable of. I don’t know what they’re capable of. Look, look what’s happened in my life. This is unthinkable two years ago of you to say, “Hey, Tristan, and you’ll be in jail for human trafficking.” I’d be like, “What? Human trafficking? Prison?”
