Some said Alex Jones is Bill Hicks.
Ha.
I don’t even think Alex Jones is Alex Jones any more.
Weirdly, the first time I heard of Jones was in a Bill Hicks story about the Waco massacre in the nineties. I didn’t look into him much, but I think he started out being fairly genuine, but realised there was more money in grifting idiots. Nowadays he’s just a fucking looney.
And/or transitioned from his trust-buying phase.
pulled a major 67
The most Boomer trying to use kid slang thing I’ve heard in a while.
GenX. Boomers were our parents and the oldest are hitting 80 right now.
Any gen can have Boomer energy.
Now Boomer just identifies anyone over 40, not the actual generation.
genX was the Big Chill but also hiphop and punk and goth and rage and sarcasm
The boomers never caught on.
Right before they sold out and followed in the worthless generation’s footsteps
Well yeah, it’s always like that I think, someone probably complained about it in cuneiform or hieroglyphs.
A large percentage of any generation is going to put the mortgage and horse/camel/SUV first. There’s no character there. Generations are characterized by the noisy flashy people and stereotypes, not the ‘normies’, and there are a lot of genX sarcastic half motivated folks floating around still. The ones without mortgages in particular.
Sell the labubu and pay the sandy hook survivors, fucking worm.
How does he still have any assets at all? He would only be allowed enough to eat gruel for the rest of his life.
Texas law allows him to keep certain assets like his home and car.
I’m pretty sure labubu aren’t covered by that
Still grifting supplemenmts and gold.
Beyond that: He tries to contest (correct verb?) every lawsuit and every conviction, drawing out the process, meanwhile he moves his assets to where they are out of reach of the law, probably still hoping that Trump will pardon him one day. Poor guy, it’s not going to happen.
Can’t pardon someone who hasn’t been convicted of a crime. He was sued not prosecuted
Sure you can, Ford pardoned Nixon for all crimes related to Watergate even though Nixon was never actually convicted of anything.
he was hiding his assets through his friends, families, shell companies.
The conspiracy reason is he’s owned by biggly now so he can’t go agaisnt trump
Why would he go against Trump? He has no reason to want to lose his core audience of Trump cultists.
It’s more that he couldn’t if he wanted to but it’s also a conspiracy about alex jones so it doesn’t need to make any sense
If he was smart he would see trump isn’t going to be around forever and once he’s gone he has a whole slew of obviously fake principles he betrayed. I mean, he is currently pretending trump being a pedophile isn’t obviously true and he’s making every excuse for trump no matter what happens. That’s a short sighted strategy imo
He saw the real deal coming and wasn’t up for the risks.
Obligatory Knowledge Fight. “It’s time to pray.”
I’ve been keeping up to date wrt AJ only because of those 2 guys. The analyses are always precise yet entertaining.
They also make the point made by OOP in every episode. It was never about freedom or speaking truth to power. It was always about hating on others.
The is latest episode is a hoot. I’ve always appreciated the way the Dan brings it back over and over again to how AJ has turned his back on everything that made him who he was.
Listening over time has really showed me how mutable the beliefs of his ilk can be. How utterly self-serving every claim.
Labubu is making our Obamas gay. 7/11 was an inside job.
I hate it when Labubu makes all my Obama’s gay!
Meanwhile Asked Jones now debunks Candice Owen’s conspiracies…
Oh darn. And she was onto such important issues too… /s
Just goes to show, in a sea of misinformation, everybody’s a shill.
this just in, digit at lemmy dot wtf shills for less misinformed misinformations and more dyspeptic disinformation. also i hear they have not been sharing their cheese.
Got a counter argument or refutation to my characterisation, or curiosity to clarify to what I refer? Or just a whimsical character assassination (so bizarre I’m not sure if meant to be taken seriously, or a mockery of those who would attempt to besmirch anyone critical of suspected managed opposition who attempt to distract with divisive trivialities like a magikian)?
No it’s just whimsy go about your business
Unfuckingbelievable
Why is he not living in a refrigerator box at this point?
Because there is no justice in this country
Because he’s their boy.
You’re welcome for this accursed continuation
Between 2012 and 2014, me and my skeptic friends made a joke conspiracy theory, that claims conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones are paid agents by an actual conspiracy to make conspiracy theories look bad, so they won’t be found out, or at least the wrong target will be hated by the masses. I’m more and more sure, that it might been something real.
There are a few pentagon-employed UFO disinfo agents who were either identified or simply admitted it. The drama definitely wouldn’t have ended there.
I’m pretty sure corporate conglomerates and intelligence agencies fund or otherwise aid conspiracy nuts in order to construct cover for real conspiracies.
That’s pretty much what AJ & Co. say every time someone on their side behaves so ridiculously that even they cannot rally behind them.
made
Made?
Easily derived. So easy, isn’t it self evident?
joke
Joke?
It’s not funny… We are in a lot of trouble.
But I guess it’s true what they say… the difference between comedy and tragedy is distance. Maybe I’ve just been too close to world issues too long.
Hi, I don’t feel like I know what’s going on. Can someone explain the post? Why is Alex Jones doing this? Everything feels like a fever dream.
Honestly no idea why he is doing this other than severe lack of funds. Just found it funny tbh
probably trying to get the alpha gen audience to spew his bs.
I was shocked when I discovered it was him in the car in Waking Life
He was just a normal somewhat amusing crazy person before the right wing audience capture turned him into a monster. Waking Life was made at a very different time in Austin.
I disagree. He’s been honing this for over 3 decades. He started in the 90s. Only his targets have changed somewhat, his hatemongering remained the same (if somewhat invalidated now that his guy is in power).
AFAIR his father was also a bad person? the KnowledgeFight guys bring that up sometimes.
Completely agree, It was always a grift to him. Even if he said stuff that resonated with a leftist audience one time doesn’t actually mean it is the true him. The true him is whatever political drivel makes him the most money and that is always the right wing.
I would say it was more that Alex Jones helped further enmonsterify the right wing than it was they changed him.
I’m a policy wonk.
What’s your bright spot today, buddy?
Someone, someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
I don’t wanna hate black people, I renounce Jesus Christ!
Just gonna take a little breakie now. A liiiiiiiittle breakie for me. And then… we’re going to… come back… and I’m gonna… start the show over.
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent! He’s a loser little, little titty baby!
I don’t give a fuck about rules when it comes to this fucked up piece of shit.
I hope he gets shot like Kirk did, for all to see. Bye and Rosh ha Shana.
The American empire had that man killed because he was worth way more as an idea than as his sorry, pathetic self (either that or his death was extremely convenient, which is possible TBF), and I wouldn’t want the American Western supremacists to get any more reasons to be who they are…
Lol this grotesque muppet is one unhinged conspiracy theorist
