    If you think about the real reaction from the average woman in the street seeing a middle aged angry looking white guy wearing a Hitler moustache unironically is likely to be fear and alarm.

    Now what Jones is saying is he thinks women are “melting” and “going wild” for him.

    Therefore the conclusion that must be drawn is Alex Jones is so broken he thinks fear and disgust from women are signs of horniness.

            It was called the Chaplin before Hitler grew one. Hitler grew it to help soften his public image. He was known to be a big fan of American movies. And had them imported during WWII for private screenings, even though it was illegal in the rest of Nazi Germany.

            I have always read that the style was in vogue among men who had to fight in WWI where the use of gas masks discouraged keeping a full beard or moustache as it hindered adherence.

            You can see the shift in the American presidents too.

      A National Socialist Experiment. He wants to find out how long he can survive in public with a hitler mustache.

      Me? Oh, ahah. no. These people need serious mental help, education, and time away from nazi propagandists.

      It’s the right-wingers that are the assassins, apparently. They really know evil, you know? Beats me, they’re cultist lunatics. It’s not going to be hard for them to detect the “Totally normal guy doing a social experiment” from their scope.

      School full of children > Hitlerized Alex Jones. Where would you rather have the christian terrorist shooting people up?

    This is a man desperate for attention. Now many times when I’m shaving off the winter beard … I’ll end it with the Hitler stache to freAk out the wife… However it does not leave the house. Why? Because I’d hate to be judged incorrectly by people as an asshole. This guy though? He is begging people to judge because he needs the acknowledgement and attention. Creep.

      If Trump is an indicator of anything is that having no shame whatsoever is a major plus to succeed. When Trump talks about winning and success absolutely no mention of how horrifically he failed all his businesses except for the stuff his dad made sure he would not fuck with (because if he loses those then he will truely be destitute) will ever change his perspective.

        I mean, Trump filed for bankruptcy 6 times JUST on his casinos. CASINOS. A literal license to take people’s money and he couldn’t figure it out.

          The failure of his Atlantic City casinos is legendary. People at the time were even commenting on the news on how stupid Trump’s management and planning style was. Basically making his own casinos compete and cannibalize one another instead of working against the competition.

          Also Trump is all gaudy trash and looks over functionality. If Trump was born a generation prior he would have been so thoroughly ostracized by wealthier New Yorkers that he would never have had any business connections to work with. He was extremely lucky he ‘came of age’ in the 80s when showy displays of wealth started becoming more in vogue.

    He’s just trolling, he needs to sustain attention which translates to income, now that it’s waning and he looks like a loser. What else is he supposed to do – get an HVAC license? Work at an Apple store? His options are limited.

      Gotta point out nazis when you see them, and that’s all this is. Alex Jones is a nazi, in a nazi party, as a nazi propagandist, with a hitler mustache to show his nazi allegiance.

      All these guys went to Epstein island, right? Or were they too poor? Bottom tier suckups?

        I guarantee you Alex Jones did not go to Epstein island. That was for presidents and billionaires. They would have laughed at him and told him to get back to his trailer park and get some craigslist hookers or something.

      I wouldn’t call it “just trolling”. He’s normalizing supporting Hitler. What he says and does has a tangible impact on the world. It allows bona fide Hitler supporting neo-Nazis to openly support Hitler, then just make the same claim as Jones when challenged

      Once it gets normalized enough, they drop the plausible deniability

    Lex Luther meets Adolf Hitler looks with blue eyes, and they just didn’t know what to do. They’re like melting.

    Self-confidence is everything folks.
    If you ever look into the mirror and feel a little silly for any reason, take a deep breath.
    At least you’re not the clown who thinks Hitler x Lex Luther is attractive to any person.

      You know he wanted to add “like it’s a bad thing” to the end of that sentence.

      • I mean he literally felt he needed to point out he didn’t think Hitler was the worst, which I’m sure you can have a very academical discussion about but it’s really weird to just bring that up out of the blue.

        “Oh yeah Hitler is totally terrible, horrible. Not the worst though, but horrible I tell ya!”
