Alex Jones has made very bizarre claims since day one...
That politicians are actual demons
That there are inter-dimensional child-molesters sent here from other planets
That Barack Obama "smells like sulfur"
Very strange stuff.
Indeed yours is far more deluded..
I'm probably being unfair; our Alan is actually quite rational most of the time. He appeals to the working class tories. In Oz, it is they who keep the conservatives in power. I lot like Prez Trump's base. So it's as much of an ideological difference as anything.
Your Alex seems to be a 24 carat loon in the vein of David Icke.
I've never quite understood how people can deliberately vote against their own best interests. How on earth do rednecks from the bible belt & c convince themselves that an amoral billionaire* gives as shit about them? Not just rednecks I guess.
* I read somewhere that Donald has lied about the extent of his wealth.Yes, I was shocked too.

OT Seriously: I really can't tell; is our new Muslim brother simply as mentally unwell as he seems, (my guess is schizophrenia) or just a troll?
The mentality has been around forever. We had a guy a few years ago who was dubbed 'Joe the Plumber'. Joe the Plumber was a right winger who defended to wealthy against tax increases, arguing that he might be one of the wealthy someday. (It turned out that he didn't actually have a plumber's license).
Flash back to the late 19th century, and we find Mark Twain writing about Joe the Plumber in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The protagonist of the story meets a feudal blacksmith who is a staunch defender of the feudal order of things. The blacksmith goes on at great length about how the feudal order of things has made it possible for him to lift himself up marginally above many of his fellows (he gets to eat meat once a week, sometimes twice a week).
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
