    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.

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

      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.

        “Sir, the problem with your air conditioner is liberals.”

        “Liberals?”

        “See they put this coolant in that will make your daughter gay, we used to have good coolant in this country but I just don’t understand how people in this country don’t GIVE A FUCK and I said Charlie Kirk stood up and said what was right, and what happened to him? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? Where’s your daughter, I need to talk with her.”

      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

        True that. They’re not fully mutually exclusive though. I’m just saying that I think he’s doing it more for the attention than because he’s decided this is the best way to promote Naziism. The Naziism he decides to openly promote is usually more disguised than this, I think most of even his audience would be more likely to be turned off by this (if they took it seriously) than taken in by it.

    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.

    Honestly it looks like an improvement but probably any beard would.

    What would help more is him stopping drinking and having a discernable neck again.

    So much for beauty tips for Alex Jones

      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.

    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.
