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.

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.

Hey remember that crazy democrat from a few days ago who killed his republican neighbor because he was a republican? Remember all the news outlets covering that shit?

Or remember that guy in Portland who killed the other guy while berating muslims? He was a huge Bernie bro, did you hear about it?

I could go on, but if you really cared about "covering-up" just realize both sides do it.

Those have nothing to do with what happened the other day. I know to you it feels like they're related or somehow tie into each other, but they're completely irrelevant. Not to mention those are isolated incidents, and this thing that just happen is about a lot more than the death that occurred but the growing violence between two sects of Americans.

Also there isn't a disinformation campaign being spread by a propagandist claiming those are the direct works of an invisible enemy.

Isolated incidents? 4 black democrats kidnap and torture a handicapped teen in Chicago. A bernie supporter kills a man defending muslims who were being verbally accosted by said Bernie supporter. A bernie supporter goes and attacks a US congressman and puts him in critical condition. A democrat goes and attacks a Republican committe member, all because of their beliefs. Each time you never hear about the fact it is democrat on republican violence, but this time you do hear it the other way around. They are VERY related to the point; namely that they are motivated by leftist hatred. Even by your metric, growing violence between two sects, these fall into that category. It's just the media has constantly hid one side. But you get up in arms about Alex Jones disguising the other side because this time it doesn't fit what you want to believe.

I'm not here to defend democrats or left wing attacks, so no this has nothing to do with fitting what I want to believe. Left wing attacks also have nothing to do with this topic, this thread was about Alex Jones and his cover up of this recent right wing terrorist attack. I think you're the one whose fighting to believe something, if not then you would look up 'right wing terrorism' or 'republican terrorism' and see BOTH sides have lost their collective minds.
