Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

yo, I used to think that guy was just a caricature of a zany person that's vulnerable to conspiracy theories and publicly charismatic to that population, but noooo ho ho hooo! I saw a documentary on him and Sandy Hook victim-families. the guy is deranged. something is seriously wrong with the dude, and it's not psychosis. i remember seeing him testify in court and thinking that i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen actual footage. it's as if there was no soul behind those eyes. he's a soulless machine...omg, i get that term now!! lol soulless ...scary π¬
Alex jones and right wing fanatics like him always give me hiccups. I donβt know why, itβs probably some innate response from a sphincter. You get em close and they start going off.
Just so I understand: you thought that Alex jones was fake prior to the documentary?
But yeah, I think your analysis is spot on.
I thought he was either (A) truly paranoid and susceptible to right-wing conspiracy theories or (B) a radio host taking advantage of A-people for fame, power, and money. I still think it's B but more extreme. He is much more nefarious and selfish than I had imagined. He enjoys tearing people down. He would rather every single Sandy Hook parent kill themselves as punishment for defending themselves than admit one iota of his grift.
Thatsyhow conservatives operate.
