Lol Hey, I don't even agree with half of Alex Jones' antics when I consider them from a philosophical standpoint, but that doesn't mean that I don't think he's fucking hilarious. Like honestly, despite political leanings, I can't see how people don't find him funny. "Well if it isn't old Bernie Sanders" and just the look on Bernies face. Comedy gold.

Yeah, I don't think he's the enemy. But I did think he was a fucking turncoat when he went on to rally for Hillay Clinton after she essentially stole the nomination from him. That didn't show any integrity.

I mean, personally, I think Alex comes off like a bit of a moron in this instance, but it's still highly comical. This meet-up was totally random, so it's not like he had much time to think of an angle or a tactic.

When Alex goes bat-shit crazy, I'm not often thinking "yes I agree with everything he's saying!" but I do think it's entertaining and funny as hell.

You sure choose some lousy hills to die on, fuzzers.

dead children sure is hiiiiiilarious

[fuzzyroes]

I've been an Alex Jones fan for over 12 years now. I loved the guy even when I sided with the Democrats.

That's just the one hot-button issue that everyone is deciding to pile on. The guy wrongly speculates about a lot of shit. It doesn't mean that it's wrong to pick a story apart and see if it holds up or not. He does opinion pieces. Believe em or don't, but it's no reason to demonize the guy.

you are straight trash

[fuzzyroes]

There was a lot of conflicting media reports about Sandy Hook when it first happened. The initial reporting was really questionable. Of course when that happens, conspiracy nuts are going to jump to conclusions. Doesn't make it right, but why chose to focus on the fuck-ups when the guy does a lot of good?

[fuzzyroes]

Alex has sincerely apologized about it many, many times too.

I don't understand this growing trend of just being done with someone and never wanting to see them again if they fuck up.

[LaBelle]

Yeah he's so hilarious:

Argued that women who are out late at night “deserve” to be assaulted. [Media Matters]

Source: Shit this guy has said

Someone who spouts such prejudiced and damaging views, I can't stop laughing.

[fuzzyroes]

Yikes, that certainly is a disturbing list of offenses.

There's no doubt that he's said a lot of stupid shit over the years.

[redbreegull]

It's really, really funny. Don't you get it?

[fuzzyroes]

Never said any of that was.

Let me be clear, there's a lot of shit Alex says and does that I don't agree with, and there's a lot of stuff that he does that I can't get enough of and think is hilarious.

It's possible to have a critical view of someone. Joe Rogan has it explained it pretty well. He commends Alex Jones for having an amazing encylopedia like knowledge about the government, but also concedes that he's fucking nuts. Not every thing is black and white.

[redbreegull]

But there's millions of regular people who understand "the government" better than he does and don't have a history of insane, provocative, conspiratorial ramblings. So what is actually special about him

[fuzzyroes]

Here's a compilation of Alex Jones clips, I mean, how can you watch this and not laugh?

The guy can be sincerely hilarious

[redbreegull]

he's a piece of shit and I've never seen anyone in my life so hell bent on justifying evil behavior as you

[fuzzyroes]

There's a lot of misinformation out there about the guy.

Watch his appearance on the Joe Rogan show. I think you'll see the man and his work in a different light.

[LaBelle]

Also on a very distantly related note:
Hilarious that on pride month suddenly a ton of LGBTQ+ focused youtubers started reporting that they are getting anti-LGBTQ ads before their videos

https://www.forbes.com/sites/meganhi.../#6e362da74f73

Stay classy, youtube.

[fuzzyroes]

That Doctor that Alex has on that is shown at the 3:15 mark of that clip is hilarious. Guy talks like a total surfer-bro.

No, just stop.
No one is interested in this.

[fuzzyroes]

Fair enough. I can understand why people hate the guy. No surprise about that.

The media really does pick these hot-button issues to zone in on and make a mockery of though. I heard on so many shows mocking the whole "Pizza-Gate" thing, but if you watch Joe Rogan talk about it here, there's actually a lot of truth behind it. Joe Rogan is about as measured as they come.



But the media reports on it like it's just a bunch of whack jobs. Joe Rogan is probably one of the most sensible guys in the media and even he see's the oddity in it all

[Cool As Ice Cream]
