Oh, Sweet Zombie Jesus, one of those Alex Jones listening Q-Tips. Kill it, the world will be better off without it wasting the rest of our precious resources.
What, you would persecute the P.T. Barnum of our age? You need a more enlightened sense of humor. My grandfather taught me to laugh with tabloid writers and at their tabloids, not burn them. The best way to blunt their impact is to do exactly what you always should have: LAUGH. Also, the worst thing you can do to a paranoiac is to ACTUALLY persecute him. The “demon” needs to be cast out into the pigs; beating the possessed man will only make it stronger.
Alex Jones is a modern-day snake-oil-salesman, literally. He scares people in order to convince them to buy his survival gear and weight loss / fertility pills.
Just like a guy hawking snake oil at a medicine show, THINK about it.
@Brian The reason Alex Jones sells survival gear and pills is that long before he was deplatformed from all the social media he was demonetized by them. Most of the people labeling him a “snake-oil” salesman understand this, as they are the pro-censorship SJWs who pressed for his demonetization and deplatformng in the first place. So what does that make you? THINK about it.
@ MTGradwell, he was selling his crap long before he was demonotized by anyone. that is his main source of funding, along with begging, asking for donation while pleading poverty. but I have seen his house, its all a sham
You’re defending a man who makes money by lying about grieving parents, and getting people to make death threats against them. If I called him scum, I’d owe scum an apology, and you’re defending him. What does that make you? Think about it. Alex Jones is whatever evolutionary phase exists before amino acids. He is the anti-life equation that Darkseid is looking for.
You know, Alex Jones is lucky he lives here in the US, and not in certain older civilized countries such as Sweden where libeling someone means a prison sentence, not just getting banned from social media for flaming and trolling.
If you purport to be a journalist, i.e. one who informs the public for a living, then you have a professional obligation to actually provide factual information (or should have).
I prefer the way Sweden does it. If you lie and call it journalism, they fine you and send you to jail for libel.
I think by not laughing, you’re actually making the problem worse. I treat Jones like I would have PT Barnum. I don’t know if he believes all or some or none of the things he says, and I suspect a grain of it here or there might be true, but that’s irrelevant. My grandfather taught me that tabloids are for laughs, and the people who take tabloids completely seriously are for laughs. I find people who take those people seriously, however, are not very funny at all. When I find a court jester who took psychedelics has been lynched by humorless Puritans, I’m not amused anymore. I’m miffed even.
If I was GG in that situation, I’d hold a straight face, humor the man until I got away, then burst out laughing. I’d share a funny story with my friends and forget about it.
your attitude is a very dangerous one to have. everyone had the same attitude when fox news started, now they have the ear of the mentally unstable toddler that somehow got elected president. second there is a big difference between what people like Jones, Rush, and the fox news people and tabloid reports. the tabloid reports pedal gossip and ridicules fabrications, the others pedal carefully sculpted propaganda to the easily swayed. and as history has shown, that’s a very dangerous thing.
…to be fair, they live in a world of super heroes and super villains…would a conspiracy group looking to blow them even more out of proportion really be that far fetched? Or even one looking to cast doubt on their existence so as to keep the world at large relatively calm when there is a city loaded with people with the power to flatten cities or countries…or even destroy the planet?
Does the bus pass the ABC hazard area – sorry, the industrial area, of Shitropolis -, and do very few that get on the bus get off as the people they used to be and don’t want to get back in a village where superheroes and supervillains are ridiculed?
I still do not understand what it means. Although I immediately understood was something a neonazi (alt-right) would say: they somehow seem to understand each other in their strange grunting language.
Crisis Actor (according to Urban Dictionary)
A term used by alt-right goons, conspiraloons and online trolls to describe a victim of a mass shooting, thereby casting aspersions on the legitimacy of their accounts of the event. The claim being made is that the ‘victim’ is in fact an actor in some bigger conspiracy.
Its also a legitimate term used to describe the job of actors who play the role of victims/criminals/bystanders/etc. in simulations designed to teain emergency response personnel
Best way to piss people like that off? Require them to prove or disprove their hypothesis. “It’s not my job to provide evidence about what you think, that’s yours. Talk to me when you can start citing your sources.”
“It’s not my job to provide evidence about what you think, that’s yours.”
…
“therefore I may claim my thesis is fact and yours is fiction without citing any source”
What? Ride to the city to find out for himself? Hah! That’s what the global elites wants him to do so they can catch and brainwash him. But he’s too smart for them.
If she wants to convince him people with powers exist, all she has to do is convince herself he’s food. The instant that happens, he’ll burst into flame.
Alternate scripting:
“…The–”
“–That sounds like something a crisis actor would say.”

Yes I would.

He still lies more than he talks. And he talks (or yells, or grunts) A LOT.

Opinions about Super Heroes being based on one particular crew in 3 … 2 … 1 …
This would be funny if it wasn’t something that actually happened

Specially considering THEY ARE ALL HEROES. XD

Classic. Just what you would expect from a conspiracy airhead.
“Crisis actor” is one of those handy code-phrases for telling people you should be locked in an asylum.

Of course no one uses it that way anymore

…
“therefore I may claim my thesis is fact and yours is fiction without citing any source”
Hmm… Providing some references is not a bad idea if you want to be taken seriously.
Anyhow, it’s not like Buckaress is trying to prove anything, she’s just replying to his question with “go and judge yourself”.
What? Ride to the city to find out for himself? Hah! That’s what the global elites wants him to do so they can catch and brainwash him. But he’s too smart for them.
XD
Looking at the facts? C’mon, that’s science… but I’ll call it pseudoscience because reasons.
