Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said he was conducting a "social experiment" by sporting a mustache in the style of Adolf Hitler — and claimed that it made him more attractive to women.Jones opened his Thursday broadcast by playing clips of the German dictator before revealing his new mustache."Now, ...
He believed a lot of crazy things, that’s why I included schizo, but also he was extremely well read and had a very good working knowledge of what the powerful were up to. Lots of noise though. I don’t think he was into marketing as much in the 90s and 2000s. Yes he was trying to make a living out of it, but until Trump he was actually very cool and one of the only places to actually get really good uncensored news. The schizo stuff did sort of create this natural filter however. You could only really find usefulness in it if you had a lot of intelligence yourself to know where he was messing up.

He grabbed headline news and mashed it up with popular conspiracy theories of the moment.
Jones didn’t know anything you couldn’t find in the pages of The New Republic or The Austin American Statesman or PBS. He just made an art of cobbling it together with The Drudge Report and Townhall.com, so that people who didn’t follow both strains of news figured he was saying something novel or insightful.
There’s a pretty good series of episodes on the podcast Behind The Bastards. Including how he sold high in lead content supplements for years. That actually might be brilliant though, as lead increases violent tendencies and reduces cognitive function, which will prevent his customer base from realizing he’s just making shit up and trying to make them mad.
I don’t believe that is true. Not intentionally anyways. I just don’t believe anything I see on the internet anymore tbh. I witnessed it all with my own eyes. How the culture changed. How they went after journalists. It started with Assange and Alex jones and now it’s everyone. The left did fuck up many times. I say this as a pretty far left person idealogically. I vote Democrat. I’m trans. I’m a progressive and a social Democrat. The Democrats were the first to support censorship. I actually don’t know if it was actual Democrats or just giant bot farms on reddit trying to brainwash the masses. Likely bot farms let’s be honest because I don’t think most normal people would ever support censorship. Either way, now the right is doing it too and we ended up in a situation where we all lose.
If you are wondering how this is resolved it simple. If someone is selling lead supplements, you take them to court and prove it. You don’t from a mob and go after a journalist because they don’t agree with your politics exactly. That was a huge mistake. In doing so you normalized mob censorship. This is why we try people in courts of justice with evidence and cross examination, not the court of public opinion. Not only did it backfire massively and paint trump as some pro American hero fighting for freedom but you also normalized it so that the Christian fascists, who used to get laughed out of any mildly serious forum for being antifreedom, now get to claim they are censoring to save America of some bullshit. I as a trans person am going to die because of it. You should have had some principles and not turned on your fellow citizens to support the state. Never once in history not even once has a state not been pure evil. This is common sensem everything the state does is wrong. Everything. If they do anything right it’s because some actual leftists managed to get a little power for a few years and it’s just a fluke. Never give yourself any power you don’t feel comfortable with your absolute most hated enemy having in a democracy even if we were a democracy, which we aren’t. Everything you did to the right, they can easily do to you, and we are going to do everything to them that they do to us. Such is the nature of war. When all reason and sensible restraint breaks down, because even speaking is portrayed as violence.
I don’t think he did it on purpose either, but the lead part is true. The Center for Environment Health did test it.
Don’t worry, I’m going to die to this fascism too.
You’re barking up the wrong tree. Most people in the state are incompetent, not evil. The problem is incompetence allows evil to thrive. I’ve never supported censorship, but I do support people getting consequences to their actions. Alex Jones has actively supported violence through lies, and actively sold poison with no recompense. If you think what he’s going through now is recompense… I’m sorry? But you’re wrong. He’s doing fine through his crocodile tears.
Please. Take care of yourself. And whomever in your community you have the power to take care of. We only get through this together.
I stopped watching him before that. I do believe many school shootings are purposely allowed to happen to push gun control on the people. I don’t believe in crisis actors doing it. That is pretty dumb. I do believe crisis actors disrupt protests and stuff. The reason I believe that is because if you say threaten a government official online you will have cops at your door the next morning. Yet many of these schools shootings had in some cases months of a deranged schizo posting all over social media and stuff about how they want to shoot some place up. I think you still believe people in the state aren’t that evil, but I assure you they absolutely are.

He was outright scamming people.
“He was outright scamming people”
The older I get the more I tend to believe this.

All the good uncensored news like “the dead kids at Sandy Hook are just made up?”
What is this apologist nonsense for a gigantic piece of shit, did you have some bad chili too?
