yo, I used to think that guy was just a caricature of a zany person that's vulnerable to conspiracy theories and publicly charismatic to that population, but noooo ho ho hooo! I saw a documentary on him and Sandy Hook victim-families. the guy is deranged. something is seriously wrong with the dude, and it's not psychosis. i remember seeing him testify in court and thinking that i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen actual footage. it's as if there was no soul behind those eyes. he's a soulless machine...omg, i get that term now!! lol soulless ...scary 😬

Alex jones and right wing fanatics like him always give me hiccups. I don’t know why, it’s probably some innate response from a sphincter. You get em close and they start going off.

Just so I understand: you thought that Alex jones was fake prior to the documentary?

But yeah, I think your analysis is spot on.

I thought he was either (A) truly paranoid and susceptible to right-wing conspiracy theories or (B) a radio host taking advantage of A-people for fame, power, and money. I still think it's B but more extreme. He is much more nefarious and selfish than I had imagined. He enjoys tearing people down. He would rather every single Sandy Hook parent kill themselves as punishment for defending themselves than admit one iota of his grift.
