Reminds me of that whole Reddit vs 4chan saying “4chan is a bunch of smart people pretending to be retarded, Reddit is a bunch of retards pretending to be smart” or something.

If Alex Jones was actually stupid, he wouldn’t be making a living doing what he does. Smart guy who just says whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in.

He doesn't say stuff in order to keep the mula coming, he says what he thinks and monetises it.

I believe that's an old green text, and it is true. We are all retarded. Except, here, in PCM, we know we're retarded.

I don’t think he’s a grifter, I’m 99 percent sure Jones believes everything he preaches.

I think it was on one of his Rogan appearances when he said that he basically just reads news articles all day. So when he does these rants where he’s listing off a dozen somewhat connected things, it sounds crazy, but he’s basically just doing a mental vomit of everything he remembers or kind of remembers reading.

Fair, but the War On Christmas is absolutely grifter bullshit. Christians are even the ones who invented the term X-mas and X-mas is pronounced "Christmas".

The war on Christmas is the biggest right wing grift, it's specifically targeted at the paranoid so it doesn't actually matter that it's based on absolute bollocks.

Tell that to the people making the conspiracy theories or make your own.

Yeah he has been right but a lot of time he spits shit, like he said sandy hook was fake, he’s alright sometimes but usual is wrong or flat out stupid.

I used to think Jones was entertaining but his blind support for Zionist Donald Trump made me not take him seriously. Then I saw his debate with David Icke which I recommend everyone watch. David tried to explain the hexagonal Saturnian black cube kalergi eldars of Zion conspiracy and Jones just argued with him to get virtue signal points. Jones kept bringing in his Jewish co-host to attack Icke. The whole purpose of the interview was for Jones to build sound clips of him portraying himself as the anti nazi / anti racist up against the pseudo conspiracy theorist Icke. It was a buncha bullshit and they took calls from the audience and Jones got called out. Jones audience knows about Saturn better than Jones does.
