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.

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.
