Did anyone used to hate Alex Jones...

And then change your mind many years later?

Used to hate his guts when he talked about 9-11 being an inside job. While I still think that's a conspiracy theory, I no longer doubt that it would be something the government would be beneath... even if I believe they did not.

He is, if nothing else, an interesting character and someone I'd legit enjoy sitting down and talking with over a beer. Er... coffee since I stopped drinking.

Anyway, ignore the trolls hope you have fun with the game and I hope some interesting conversations pop up from time to time instead of... whatever these threads are right now.

I was skeptic of him, but never really hated the guy. Epstein's stuff in 2019 though kind of forced me into checking into Infowars and so on because there was almost no good-faith information about Epstein anywhere else beyond alternate media and fringe conspiracy boards. Like you could tell which news sources were pozzed and biased because they'd always downplay Epstein's connections to the Clintons but then would go "BY THE WAY TRUMP CALLED HIM A PRETTY SWELL GUY IN 2002" while ignoring that Trump called out Epstein later on.

Also listening to him on JRE, it was clear that he had a *lot* of information in his head that he was struggling to properly process and communicate. That's why he had viral clips like the gay frogs bit. Sometimes he does make wild guesses and so on, but other times he's trying to get ahead of things to warn folks or make them aware of potential things coming up.

But man I could not listen to the dude around 2020 when he kept creating panic over COVID /WW3 and then in the same tangent would push storable foods/supplements. Getting glued to news like that on a daily basis is just draining and I had to disconnect from it for my own well-being. Listening to stuff like that can get you into a really ugly anxiety/stress loop that's not healthy if you don't know how to take things with a grain of salt and process it all.

Sounds like he's written a couple of books though which Michael Malice praised as being quite good and informative, so might give those a read as it's likely a format that Alex can excel in since he gets to take time to write his thoughts out and lay out the information in a way that a livestream just isn't capable of. Listening to him on other podcasts and such is pretty nice too occasionally. I saw this game though and knew I had to get it because it looked like it'd give a good laugh, and it didn't disappoint.
