He should also Hitler himself.

Being stared at in public is not the same as attraction.

I am a man of entirely average to below average sexiness but I wonder how hard I would have to try to be less sexy than Alex Jones to women.

I would absolutely first need to grow a hitler moustache but like, damn that would just be the beginning. I would need to spend months and months at airports and stuff harassing people who tragically lost their kids to gun violence because they obviously lied on the news about their kids being dead and that would just be the baseline.

Idk, I kind of doubt it is possible? I couldn't keep up the volume of chunky throwup bubbling out of my mouth at a high enough rate in order to be posting the kind of numbers where I could seriously threaten the lack of sex appeal to the ladies that Alex Jones has.

It is like trying to cool something to absolute zero kelvin. It isn't just about trying to take everything warm away until the only thing that is left is pure cold emptiness, it is about ensuring not even a tiny bit of warmth accidentally creeps in from the sides and improves things, you have to create a perfect hermetically sealed turd to place your mind into to keep it pure.

Because that’s what normal people do, say and think.

"I don't support Hitler but man did he have a great look." -Alex Jones

So, I take it he's tanking and desperate for views and relevancy?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Think so? I'd imagine if you were still listening to him after sandy hook you're in the cult for life

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

How small must that cult be, how determined to hang in there? If they're slipping away, and he has to pull this shit, how desperate must he be? I think we agree.

The moustache makes him look more like the Alex Jonesian version of J. Jonah Jameson from the MCU Spider-Man movies, played by J.K. Simmons. So, the man made himself more presentable by looking more like a parody version of himself.

Benny Hill, but less charming.

And then the finale.

I really hate Hitler for ruining the Charlie Chaplain mustache since that's the only place my mustache grows in fully. I'd love to grow a beard, but I just look Amish without a mustache.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I think it's kind of like a selection bias thing. Most women are going to be absolutely grossed out by Jones and everything he stands for. The only ones who would be in his "Potentially attracted to" group are going to be those who don't find his views appalling, and a good hunk of those are probably okay with Hitler.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

He hasn't even hit final form yet!

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

He needs medication and round the clock monitoring, not a platform. He's so mentally unwell. Not that this is new, but jesus fuck

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Your bait determines what you catch.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Just more and more evidence that these people are deranged. They have no real understanding of the lessons of history. The way they create media and style themselves always gives it away.
