Alex Jones seemingly hasnt been doing so well lately. Things are so tough that he has pivoted to talking about his imminent cannibalism, and how he will kill and eat his neighbors.
You think I like sizing up my neighbor, how Im gonna haul him up by a chain? Chop his ass up? Ill do it. My children arent going hungry, Jones said on a recent episode of his live streamed radio show. He reiterated how hes ready to resort to cannibalism several times. Ill admit it. I will eat my neighbors
Im just gonna be honest
Im literally looking at my neighbors now going Am I ready to hang them up and gut them and skin them and chop them up?' and you know what, Im ready
Ill eat my neighbors ... Ill eat your ass, I will, he added, nodding.
The cannibalism clip is a stark reminder of how far Jones has fallen and what Jones always wasa doomsday carnival barker selling outrage to the gullible who, briefly, amassed an outsized amount of cultural cache.
After being deplatformed by Twitter and Facebook after a series of videos in which he questioned whether mass shootings actually happened, Jones faded into irrelevancy. Now, people only pay attention to Jones when hes arrested for drunk driving or screams about eating his neighbors. Hes a sideshow, a clown. Which is as it should be.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,320 posts)I have no articles or testimony or facts to back up that assertion, but I just kind of have a feeling that anyone that lives near that asshole, knows by now what they are dealing with.
If the shit were to ever hit the fan, the block he lives on would be having a party, and Jones would be the guest of honor, ...ahem...so to speak.
Most people just don't tolerate assholes for too long, it's that simple.
He reminds me of a rather prominent car dealer I had an unfortunate interaction with back in the late 80's, who was widely known in the community for being a fucking crook and just generally an asshole.
When I went back through that town several years later, I stopped at a fire station next door to one of his former dealerships that had changed hands, and asked about the former owner.
"Oh yeah...he committed suicide a few years back"
"Really?", I asked.
"Yup. Shot himself 6 times" Was the answer. It was easy to bury him, apparently.
"His grave is only 2' X 2'. They just screwed him into the ground". (all of this being a bit tongue in cheek, of course)
In other words, he was so crooked and hated by the community, that when he died (or was killed, as the case may be) , the local law enforcement was pretty much glad he was gone, and the fact that he was so crooked meant he could be "screwed into the ground".
It was a modern case of "Western Justice" - the old "He Needed Killin'" defense.
No one was ever charged, and the community was glad he was finally out of their hair.
I suspect the same will happen to Alex Jones, sooner or later.

0rganism
(23,855 posts)i guess people could get desperate as the meat-packing industry fades, but there are a lot of less human game animals floating around that should be much easier for dedicated carnivores to explain to their children than, "hey kids, we're having the Smiths for dinner tonight."
but the fact that the haters think it's fertile ground even to explore how far the Overton Window (tm) stretches in this direction is itself depressing. maybe we don't get all the way to cannibalism but a purge system is deemed acceptable? or maybe ritualized public torture of heretics? not like there isn't historical precedent for this kind of thing, but what sort of gruesome shit actually counts as going too far anymore?
