    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.

      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.

      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.

            It was called the Chaplin before Hitler grew one. Hitler grew it to help soften his public image. He was known to be a big fan of American movies. And had them imported during WWII for private screenings, even though it was illegal in the rest of Nazi Germany.

            I have always read that the style was in vogue among men who had to fight in WWI where the use of gas masks discouraged keeping a full beard or moustache as it hindered adherence.

            You can see the shift in the American presidents too.

      A National Socialist Experiment. He wants to find out how long he can survive in public with a hitler mustache.

      Me? Oh, ahah. no. These people need serious mental help, education, and time away from nazi propagandists.

      It’s the right-wingers that are the assassins, apparently. They really know evil, you know? Beats me, they’re cultist lunatics. It’s not going to be hard for them to detect the “Totally normal guy doing a social experiment” from their scope.

      School full of children > Hitlerized Alex Jones. Where would you rather have the christian terrorist shooting people up?

    Alex Jones: “Nazis? That’s just wrong terminology that the left uses to accuse everyone they don’t like of being a nazi! Because they’re the haters!”

    Grows Hitler mustache.

    Alex Hitler: “It’s a (nationalist) social experiment! If you call me a nazi, then you’re the real nazi!”

    For fuck’s sake. Why do I still meet people that think they could possibly not be nazis? You’re not sure? Really?

    They’re not time travelers from 1940. They’re modern nazis, and this is what they do. He’s just another nazi propagandist like limbaugh and kirk, except he’s got a fucking HITLER mustache!!!

    This is all dog with whistle on top.

    It’s the same thing as the Elon Nazi salute or speech Stephen Miller just gave echoing Goebbels.

    It’s explicitly showing support for Nazis with a thin veil of “no u” on top for those who will take an excuse.

      If Adolf Hitler himself appeared today and shouted some furious hours-long speech about the superiority of the Aryan race at an assembly of tens of thousands of uniformed goose-stepping thugs, people would be asking, “was that a dogwhistle?”

        I’m just waiting for them to do some like, DEFINITELY Nazi stuff before I condemn them and take action. You know stuff like shoving minorities in camps, or plainclothed thugs grabbing people from the street, or military deployed domestically, or maybe like a Wessel-esque state funeral, or declaring the opposition terrorists and arresting them. Idk the stuff so far could just be coincidence.

    the only person i’ve ever seen actually look good with that 'stache is charlie chaplin. the only acceptable use of the toothbrush mustache is in a silent comedy film with a wacky guy sporting a tophat and cane.

    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.
