If it's an act...it's kinda fucked up and sick.

It's one thing if you're a wrestling manager or wrestler, trying to sell the good or bad vibes, in an extreme display of over the top theatrics (ultra paranoia, ultra patriotism, talking to a tennis racket, or a sock puppet), to the fans that think that shit is real.  They boo and hiss and grandma yells crazy crap at the TV and you stand in the background laughing your ass off that she's bought the scene as plausible, real.  And the wrestlers pay the price sometimes for that devotion of the fans to the fake reality.  Fans send them hate mail, spit on them, throw chairs at them, take swings, try to jump them outside of the venues, at the bars, hell...even in the grocery store. Real bodily harm. It comes with the territory and wrestlers know it, accept it.

Now that's a small percentage of the fan base.  The rest who yell know it's fake, they're just go'in along with the act...because it's silly and fun and they laugh after they yell absurd shit at the bad guy or throw that over the top salute to Captain Freedom.

So if some people can buy into the wrestling bullshit...why isn't it plausible that Alex Jones *selling fake* over the top dramatics, paranoia, fear and revolution can't illicit a much more beefed up negative reaction from his fans who don't get it's all showman ship? We're not talking about Jack Hammer sneaking a chair into the ring when the Refs not looking...we're talking about a man, telling believers, not only are their freedoms on the verge of oblivion, but that all the unenlightened Americans around them, the Government, hell the world...can only get back on track to the REAL reality, the one he's created for them/envisions, by stepping up their vigilance from defensive...to offensive.  He's giving them the green light to protect themselves in a Pre capacity.

"It's all around us, it's here, it's real...and it's now!"

To me...that's pretty fuck'in dangerous.  And, if his real motivator (or a large part) is for some extra dinero, stage time, and popularity...his sense of ethics and morals, as it relates to the methods he'd employ to acquire fortune/fame is comparable (to me) to the parent who'd let their underage daughter suck cock because mommy/daddy can make 40 bucks a pop from the sick fuck who digs having a 10 year old put his dick in their mouth.

I'd never stifle his speech.  I'd never insist his speech be curbed.  But I can damn sure call out the match striker and his irresponsible use of such.  And if one of his fans acts as a result of his absurdity...I really hope no one tries to sell it down the river that Mr. Jones had nothing to do with the crazy persons actions.  If you facilitate the fear.  If you facilitate the paranoia. If you tell those who buy your shit that you speak the unmitigated gospel truth...you're culpable.
