You can call it whatever you like. No cult would ever trick me out of any money. I would never give my money to infowars or any other organization for that matter if it's not somehow benefiting me. You're calling people "victims" because they're willingly paying money for merch from infowars (assuming Alex Jones is lying of course)? A bit dramatic, don't you think?
So, because you wouldn't give your money to the likes of Alex Jones, those who do, and who maybe don't have the brain capacity you have, their stupidity is their fault?
Quote:Doesn't really matter if Jones believes it. Conspiracy nuts do and if they're willing to pump money out of their bank accounts and into Jones' pockets for t shirts and other bullshit, that's their choice.
Sure, giving money is their choice, but do you really think their ignorance is their fault, and therefore they are to blame for the action? I mean, I'm sure there are the willfully ignorant; the assholes; the nutjobs...
... but do you really think the "dumb" should be held accountable if they really, actually, are dumb? And I said nothing about my opinion on whether AJ believes it or not.
Quote:edit: Also calling it "close-minded" is a bit pathetic on your part. Grow up.
i.e. You're close minded if you don't agree with me.
Agree with me or not, faulting dumb people because they are dumb is kinda closed-minded, dude.
I'm pretty grown up, too. Today was my 40th-and-a-half birthday!
Quote:second edit: If you legitimately think Alex Jones lying makes people who buy his merch a victim, I have a great deal for you on some ocean front property in Arizona.
Holy mother of effingham.
Nuance, dude. Nuance.
I think some people are victims of Alex Jones. Some people who follow him are just assholes.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
