    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.

      100% this.

      It’s such a well established business model now.

      Stimulate outrage amongst sane normal people. Free publicity. Engage with assholes who will buy your snake oil.

      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’d like to see him draining septic tanks. With a teaspoon. While wearing that stupid little mustache.

          Wait am I not supposed to want to sell Thundercougarfalcon birds? I mean there is so much eagle those. And malfunctioning Eddie seems like a cool boss.

          Or maybe my life is going worse then I thought…

      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
