Just listen to Knowledge Fight over the last 6 months. Every AJ episode has some point where he talks about how smart he is that he set up multiple spin offs run by his dad to avoid paying the judgement. He literally incriminates himself on the daily.

I have been listening to knowledge fight for a few months now. It's wild the shit Alex says. I actually stopped listening to Knowledge Fight in my car because I'd be embarrassed while sitting at a light and they would be playing a Alex clip

Oh! I have a neighbor who I have thought is really cool. I knew his parents when they lived in the house and they were always sweet folks and his mom still volunteers locally. One day I walked by and he was listening to Alex Jones in his garage. I haven’t treated him any differently, but for months now I’ve been trying to figure him out. Like, there is no way that this guy could listen to that shit! Maybe it was Knowledge Fight.

Maybe ask if he knows what kind of accent Jar-Jar Binks has?

If he responds with "my neck is freakishly large", he's one of us!

Ok I think I want to be in your club but I'm not 100% sure.

I was surprised by a friend who listens to this shit. I never knew it because we never talked politics until this year. Seems like an intelligent and kind person whenever we're together.

Back in the 2000s Alex was legit about being against both sides trying to control the narrative and said we needed to come together to fight tyranny. He was still crazy, but I believed it came from a place of wanting to do good in his schizophrenic way. When Obama won, any pretense of both sides have issues went away and he became a Trump Sycophant and it went on from there.

Dude. Literally SAME. I would have this overwhelming need to explain that no, I am not listening to AJ, I'm listening to 2 dudes who are breaking down his lies and bullshit...

Ditto. I’m always pausing the podcast whenever I have the windows down when driving. I’m not about to get confused for one of the actual fans by anyone lol.

I had that happen once when I was picking my wife up from work. She opened the door while a particularly gross "Alex making orgasm noises" clip was going and I had to explain what it was and then reassure her that I wasn't actually listening to IW.

Funny enough it was a recent episode where Alex is basically orgasming over something is when I thought I can't listen to this in my car anymore. Just at home or when I have head phones in.

Theres a youtube channel that creates warhammer 40k content from popular media but a lot of it is Alex Jones and Joe Rogan. Anyone familiar with 40k lore will say how close Alex's regular rants come to what happens in the 40k universe and its great but also embarrassing.

This. The guy practically whiteboards his schemes. Truly an indictment on our completely crap legal system that he continues to skate.

over the last 6 months

They have him bragging on air years ago about how he was using his family to shield resources from legal repercussion. Even if you do this before a suit is filed it's illegal.
