The Truth vs. Alex Jones

[TitoFan]

So just happened to channel surf into this new documentary. Didn't watch all of it, as it was late and I went to bed about halfway through. But...

I just can't get my head around people like Alex Jones and the following they collect. Over 10 years later, and it's still hard to believe. The capacity some people have of turning any damn thing into a conspiracy theory is astounding. Nothing is true... nothing is real... nothing can be believed... everything needs to be doubted. What a sad, fucking existence. Kinda makes you shake your head at some of the deep running sickness in today's society. So basically to believe anything in the news today is to be a sheep. Damn... Personally, I find it amazing that one of those fathers never beat Jones into a pulp, probably earning a jail sentence himself. To profit off another one's grief is just sick. But Alex Jones is hardly alone. He's just one of the loudest. Apparently he's been doing this type of shit for awhile, and earning quite a following. It's not even these guys themselves. It's all the followers who are willingly led by the nose on whatever wild fantasy these fuckers dream up.

Sick world out there...

We do not know much about him over here but he does seem a despicable man who would go anywhere to make noise and therefore money.

Very sick person and the people they attract are equally as crazy sheep which is ironic since they claim people that follow the mainstream media are.

Reminds me a lot of Trump supporters.

You're better off not knowing much about him. He's the type of person who loves to profit off other people's misery... the worst type of person. Yes, despicable is a pretty good description.

Also, yes... his blind fans accuse others of being sheep, which is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Over the last decade or so there has been a big uptick in people becoming and acting as tail tucked followers. Cult(s) of personality, politicians and gonzo tin foil hat wearing kooks generating fevered followings that were once reserved for music and sports stars. And once again as with other shouting figures, it's the over exposure and 24-7 availability that nurtures their brand. At least with a rock show you actually had to buy a ticket and become a groupie. Now it's as easy as sitting on the toilet...appropriately enough...to nod along with ol Alex and feel as though you are keen on something, aware of the real story that others just don't "get". We really have collectively thrown out the independence and satisfaction of thinking for ourselves.
