    Owens told NPR that leaving Infowars wasn’t easy because his sense was that it was “kind of black mark” on his résumé that he worked for Jones. He said Jones himself would boast to his employees: “You cannot exist in the world outside … here because you are connected to me.”

    Justifiably so, willingness to tell what you know as outright bigoted lies for a paycheck makes you categorically untrustworthy. So he stayed on, knowingly causing more harm because we all need to pay rent.

    Remember y’all, capitalism breeds innovation. It would be SO much worse if his material conditions such as food and house were guaranteed. No lazy free loaders here, just innovators innovating propaganda.
