If he weren't such a malicious cretin then Alex Jones would be genuinely hilarious. His videos are piss funny. Can't believe he had so much real world sway and influence with utter morons
I've always thought it such a shame he didn't become an actor or voice actor.
He really is a character.
I grew up with a second dad(friends dad) who was very similar to this. Just batshit fucking insane and bipolar x10000.
He would come in the room completely at random screaming so angrily spits flying out of his mouth "GOD DAMN DEMOCRATS, FUCKING FIREFIGHTERS, CANT FUCKING BLAH BLAH BLAH".
Just went on like that for probably a minute and then would walk away like nothing happened.
He'd come back an hour later or so randomly and say "I'm sorry for yelling at you guys, I was just angry" and ask us if we wanted a snack. We were 7-8 years old.
He terrified me as a kid, but when I became a young adult something clicked and he was the funniest fucking person in the world to me.
I think it was after I started smoking bud and taking a bunch of psychedelics. The madness spoke to me
Nowadays that's my favorite kind of humor, angry insanity. If someone acts like that around me, for any reason, I just start dying laughing. Ive got close to getting killed or beat up from it too cause sometimes it's serious, but I can't hold it in.
He was destined to just be the next in a long line of central Texas conspiracy kooks. Austin had an anti-authority streak, but it was based largely in being pro-weirdness. So people who believed in conspiracy theories were just part of that. He was meant to have a late night radio show heard predominately by groups of high young people.
But the internet hit, his audience consisted of more people at home alone taking it more seriously, then discussing it all together in serious contexts, etc. They got more serious, he got more serious, he got more angry, they got more angry, etc.
