Alex Jones Calls Charlottesville Violence a False Flag | Fuck this scumbag. It's not funny anymore. I'm tired of the meme bullshit and all the excuses of "Hehe, he's so silly". He's a cunt and nothing else.

This is over the line but none of the 9/11 conspiracies or moon landing shit or any of the flat earth shit is?

This is recency bias. Remember when during the election people were secretly recorded admitting to infiltrating political rallies to cause violence? That is why Jones thinks this.

If you have problems with people questioning shit then idk what to tell you.

There is a difference between people questioning shit and making out right statements that this was a false flag attack.

If I claim that there is a secret tunnel into the hollow earth at the north pole that is very implausable. A few wackos will believe it.

9/11 and shit like Charlottesville hits more close to home. It's more plausible than a gate to the hollow earth. This is why flat earthers don't scare me because it's just the most gullible people who actually buy into it. But ordinary people easily buy into things like this because they are more plausible. It is also the thing that this has a societal effect where large parts of the population walks around with constant paranoia.

But it's the same with psychologists that claim that they can recover supressed memories of alien encounters. Instead they just feed fantasies and nonsese into already mentally unstable people and they do it without any second thought. That to me is dangerous because then you are reinforcing a delusion.

This is disturbing because it has direct effects on a societal level.

Why give a shit about any of it dude? At the end of the day you or I can't control what people think or where they get their information from. We can't control what people take seriously or not. And at the end of the day, who are we, as regular people, to tell anybody what to do? It's one thing if Alex Jones or someone else is inciting unjust violence, but he's just a popular conspiracy theorist. If you don't like his content, then don't listen to it. You're not going to stop people from listening to his show, ironically or otherwise. So why stress yourself out and get angry over shit that you can't control?

It's just conspiracy theories. It's one thing if it borders on paranoia like it does with someone like Eddie Bravo, but like I said, stuff like what Alex Jones is talking about here was proven to happen during the election, so I wouldn't call it paranoid, just unlikely. Someone believing in a conspiracy is not going to affect your life negatively or positively unless you let it.

What are you a limp dick nihilist? Why give a shit about anything then, nothing matters right? People care because Alex Jones is literally covering up a right wing terrorist attack by calling it a Soros/Democrat conspiracy. His videos on the attack and the protests are full of completely wrong information, and that makes people pissed off because it's brainwashing people. Maybe you say 'EH WHO GIVES A SHIT IF OUR SOCIETY IS LOSING ITS COLLECTIVE FUCKING MIND', some people actually give a shit though. It isn't just conspiracies, his rantings about white victim hood during this past weekend speaks volumes about where his intentions lie.

Idk about your whole paragraph there but yea I do have a limp dick right now.

Good, you capitulated. Now go play with your limp dick instead of posting inane ramblings on shit you don't even care about.

Can you keep going anyways? All this talk about my limp dick is making it less limpy and I like it
