    Tbf it was a popular style at the invention of the gas mask (because any more could fuck up the seal and leak through), with WWIII possibly around the corner, the Charlie might make a comeback.

    Alex Jones is more like Julius Streicher who also sported a pathetic moustache to ingratiate himself with Hitler. Streicher was virulently antisemitic and spouted all kinds of bug eye conspiracies but even other Nazis thought he was little more than an annoying clown.

    the only person i’ve ever seen actually look good with that 'stache is charlie chaplin. the only acceptable use of the toothbrush mustache is in a silent comedy film with a wacky guy sporting a tophat and cane.

    Alex Jones: “Nazis? That’s just wrong terminology that the left uses to accuse everyone they don’t like of being a nazi! Because they’re the haters!”

    Grows Hitler mustache.

    Alex Hitler: “It’s a (nationalist) social experiment! If you call me a nazi, then you’re the real nazi!”

    For fuck’s sake. Why do I still meet people that think they could possibly not be nazis? You’re not sure? Really?

    They’re not time travelers from 1940. They’re modern nazis, and this is what they do. He’s just another nazi propagandist like limbaugh and kirk, except he’s got a fucking HITLER mustache!!!

    I imagine it has the same effect as when animals use wild colours to deter predators. Except it’s the reverse and instead an easy sign he’s a predator.

    He’s just trolling, he needs to sustain attention which translates to income, now that it’s waning and he looks like a loser. What else is he supposed to do – get an HVAC license? Work at an Apple store? His options are limited.

      well he could have worn a clown nose, put a shoe on his head or embrace nudism, but he chose the nazi option. i think that says enough about him

      Gotta point out nazis when you see them, and that’s all this is. Alex Jones is a nazi, in a nazi party, as a nazi propagandist, with a hitler mustache to show his nazi allegiance.

      All these guys went to Epstein island, right? Or were they too poor? Bottom tier suckups?

        I guarantee you Alex Jones did not go to Epstein island. That was for presidents and billionaires. They would have laughed at him and told him to get back to his trailer park and get some craigslist hookers or something.

      100% this.

      It’s such a well established business model now.

      Stimulate outrage amongst sane normal people. Free publicity. Engage with assholes who will buy your snake oil.

    ‘It had a wild effect on women’

    They used to be disgusted by me when I talked to them, but now they are disgusted by me the moment they see me.
