Alex Jones is a complete lunatic. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably should go back to posting in some reddit CONSPIRACY forum about FEMA death camps and CIA controlled theatre shootings. He is a clockwork elf lunatic that has got bank off idiots, and hes just getting crazier as his moronic audience gets dumber.

So no, there is no hyper-inflation.

Chlorine posted:^ We're getting old. We remember fond days of enjoying his show as teenagers and now a whole new generation are being exposed to him. Gazpacho posted:He's a loser who consistently places in the top 5 for tune-ins on Shoutcast, just one of his media channels. There's also been a steady drip in D&D of posters whose dads have become frothing AJ junkies. And Fox News is the top viewed news station. Need I say more? People rather have the news hand fed to them no matter how inaccurate or over the top. All you need is a loud mouth (Jones, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reily, etc) screaming bloody murder and preying on someone's paranoia or ignorance and wham ratings galore. What's worse is that person then spreads the disinformation like a virus that infects people like the plague and now you have a situation like here in the USA where people are ready to kill each other over stupidity. People ask why is this country so divided and it's because of clowns like Jones who spew out half-truths and then mix this it with their viewers, most of whom do no research at all on what they hear and you get what you have now. A time bomb. Tick tock tick tock.

If he was Alex Jones level, he'd be off the air - probably not for being a loon, just for being "stupid crap". Alex Jones would be the 1PM - 5PM session on a local radio station, and he wouldnt be paid. Also he would be removed fast because a guy with a proper record collection would take his spot.

As a conservative, I humbly ask that the word conservative be removed from the thread title as he is not a conservative. He doesn't identify as such and has as much hate for republicans as he does for democrats. Also, folks should be glad we have personalities like this providing us with such great entertainment. Otherwise the world would be a boring place.

The other day one of those wife swap shows was on, and one of the families was a big conspiracy 2012er type (according to the channel info the show aired in '08'). These nut bags were scaring the poo poo out of their kids with world ending poo poo and were bragging about buying poo poo on credit with no payments due 'till 2013. This makes me wonder how many people are currently in bunkers thinking the world ended a couple of weeks ago?

I picked one up at Threadgills one time. I think I still have it lying around. The cover story, as I recall, was about how the government was trying to turn us all into "zombies" through television. As an example of how this was possible, Alex cited that episode of Pokemon that gave a bunch of kids seizures. I will say one thing about it though: the graphic design work looked pretty drat slick. I guess you can get some quality work done in Austin on the cheap. The issue also had one of my favorite quotes ever: "Anecdotal evidence clearly suggests that Americans are getting dumber and are more easily led to believe lies as a result of their low intelligence." Ahh yes, anecdotal evidence CLEARLY SUGGESTS. This is truly where journalism goes to die. Edit: Corrected the quote. Turns out it was written even more ridiculously than I remember.

Guys like Alex Jones get in the way of having honest, rational public conversation about deep rooted problems in the American system. Mental health IS a bigger issue than gun control, but good luck getting anyone to talk about that when a hot headed buffoon like him goes on CNN. He would hate to be characterized this way, but he's playing into the hand of the exact conspiracy he talks about.

VikingSkull posted:I think the greatest conspiracy theory is that Bill Hicks faked his own death and created Alex Jones as an alter ego to troll America with. That's the one I'm going with. I'd love to take some credit for spreading this rumor around Austin for years now. I think of discovering Alex Jones as a rite of passage for all University of Texas freshman. My first exposure was in 1995 when he was still on public access and a little cult of watchers sprung up in the dorms. Since then, each fall, like the changing of the leaves, you start to see new Inforwars.com bumper stickers show up on cars all around Austin. The guy has an infectious appeal to the naivete of college students experiencing the huge, incomprehensible, and terrifying world they have been thrust into. Seeking answers and purpose, some wander into the Scientology center on Guadalupe, some are seduced by the activist groups on the West Mall, and some turn on the radio and discover the passionate jeremiads of Alex Jones. I get so happy when Alex gets a moment of national exposure like this one. It's like every couple of years Austin gets to throw open our trenchcoat and flash our floppy, insane little cock at the rest of America. edit: Also, please don't try to use Alex as a caricature of any political party or ideology. The man is not liberal or conservative. He literally believe that anyone in power in the world is controlled by Satan. Yes, that Satan. You have to get him really riled up to admit it, but in the end that is where all his conspiracies end up. It goes right to the top, and at the pinnacle of that Illuminati pyramid is Underwood Deviled Ham guy. Videodrome fucked around with this message at Jan 8, 2013 around 15:23 |
