Chapter 155: Uncancellable
It was the next day, after his second fight, that Alex was invited onto the Jack Logan Experience podcast. Jack Logan was a monumental figure in the podcasting world, but he was also one of the main commentators during UFC events, and was also a huge fan of the sport.
After Alex had shocked the world with two stunning displays of brutality, and two viral post-fight interviews. His name was worth its weight in gold in pop culture. Not only had Alex been receiving numerous requests from streamers and podcasters to come onto their shows and talk with them. But oddly enough, he had even been offered a few gigs at male modelling.
Until now, Alex had wholly ignored these offers, but since Jack Logan had asked him to come onto his show, Alex didn’t have a reason to refuse. And thus, a few days later, Alex had flown out to Texas where he met up with the man in question at his studio.
The interview started with some friendly banter, before ultimately Jack began to ask Alex questions about his life. Which he was quick to answer.
“So, how long have you been fighting now? You know, like training? Did you start as a child, or did you start later in life as an adult?”
Alex was leaning back in his seat, and smoking a joint with Jack, as he spoke about his past and what got him into fighting.
“I started at a very young age. I was bullied a lot as a kid, specifically by this one asshole. So my mother got me involved in MMA, believing it would help me defend myself. Of course, after being traumatized by this prick, I never had the balls to actually fight back... At least not until I grew up. Now... Now the shoe is on the other foot. You could say that over the last few months, I have made that douchebag pay severely for what he did to me as a kid...”
Jack looked at Alex with a curious expression, before questioning the man further about what he meant by this.
“What do you mean? Do you still know him?”
Alex leaned back in his chair with a wicked grin on his face as he nodded his head and confirmed that he indeed still knew his childhood bully.
“When I came back to Vegas after being away for a few years, we were almost immediately reacquainted. We go to the same university, so it was only a matter of time before we ran into each other. Let’s just say I have been given several opportunities to get revenge since then and leave it at that.”
It appeared that Jack wanted to talk more about this aspect of Alex’s character, but he could tell by the look in the man’s eyes that he would not be answering any more questions about this subject. Thus, he was quick to talk about the viral videos.
“Alright, that’s fine. There was something else I wanted to ask you about, anyway. I’m sure you know that by now the internet is flooded with curiosity about you, and those many women who follow you to your fights. If I’m not mistaken, more than a few of them were in a viral video that showed you proposing to the lot of them. Do you have anything to say about that?”
Jack was left speechless for a while, before ultimately voiced his disagreement with Alex and his perspective on life.
“Well, I would have to disagree with you there. It sounds like you are spouting some pretty antiquated ideas, man. I mean the world we live in today, anybody can succeed, as long as they are willing to put in the work and do what is necessary to achieve their goals. Isn’t that what equality is all about?”
Alex scoffed and rolled his eyes when he heard the word equality escape from Jack’s mouth before lecturing the man on his naivety.
“You want to talk about equality? Seriously Jack? Equality? Equality is a myth. It’s a lie. It’s a shadow on the wall designed to keep the masses complacent with their miserable and worthless fucking lives. Think about it, Jack! Look around and tell me what you see!
There are men who are born with the strength, intellect, and will to lead! While at the same time there are others who are born solely so they can be just another cog in the machine. There is no such thing as equality, Jack, and we are not all born equal.
If that were the case, there would be no men like Alexander in history because to be exceptional is to be above everyone else. You can not be an exceptional man, while at the same time being equal to everyone else. It’s a contradiction in logic!
The sooner you and everybody else learn that this is the reality that we live in, the sooner we can get back on track as a civilization. Because where our civilization is now? It’s doomed to collapse! And very soon, I might add.”
Alex did not know it, when he made this speech about his role as a man in his relationships with women, or when he denied the existence of equality. But he had caused a shitstorm on the internet. Where everybody and their mother who disagreed with him took to the internet to get Alex fired from the UFC for his choice of words.
Of course, Alex’s response, when the internet tried to cancel him for speaking the truth, was actually even more offensive than what he had said while on the Jack Logan Experience.
“I would like to take a moment to apologize.... For absolutely fucking nothing! Oh boo hoo, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings! Except I’m not! You sniveling pussies need to realize that your pathetic little feelings don’t fucking matter in the slightest. The truth is what matters! Not your truth! Not my truth! Or any of that subjective bullshit!
No, what matters in this life is the objective truth of this world and the reality that we live in! So for those of you saying ‘waaagh waaagh cancel Alex! He’s a bad man because he said things that I disagree with!’ Suck my big white cock, you contemptible little faggots!”
Naturally... There was an even bigger backlash to Alex’s so called “apology”. One that he did not give a single fuck about. Because at the end of the day, he was uncancellable. Why was this? Because Alex was worth 12 billion dollars after murdering Richard.
Even if the Ultimate Fighting Challenge cut Alex from its roster. Asia did not give a single shit about America’s politically correct woke culture. And because of this, he could easily find a spot in one of the UFC’s rival promotions. Because at the end of the day, Alex’s mixed martial arts career wasn’t about building a legacy as the greatest to ever do it. It was about entertaining himself with violence.
