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.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 100 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

We're tired of Democrats calling white men Hitler

says white man intentionally making himself look like Hitler.

You know he wanted to add "like it's a bad thing" to the end of that sentence.

I'm a white dude who has never been called Hitler. But I comport myself with empathy and dignity. Well, empathy anyway.

'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.

2025 .... we are in the 86th year of a war that was started in 1939 against the fascists whom we have yet to defeat.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The year? Oh it's 6363. No. That's not right. It's 1843. No. That's not it.

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!!!

This is all dog with whistle on top.

It's the same thing as the Elon Nazi salute or speech Stephen Miller just gave echoing Goebbels.

It's explicitly showing support for Nazis with a thin veil of "no u" on top for those who will take an excuse.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

If Adolf Hitler himself appeared today and shouted some furious hours-long speech about the superiority of the Aryan race at an assembly of tens of thousands of uniformed goose-stepping thugs, people would be asking, "was that a dogwhistle?"

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm just waiting for them to do some like, DEFINITELY Nazi stuff before I condemn them and take action. You know stuff like shoving minorities in camps, or plainclothed thugs grabbing people from the street, or military deployed domestically, or maybe like a Wessel-esque state funeral, or declaring the opposition terrorists and arresting them. Idk the stuff so far could just be coincidence.

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.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 16 points 1 week ago

The only other person is Hardy from the Laurel and Hardy duo. If he didn't have his stash, he would look like a giant baby.

If you think about the real reaction from the average woman in the street seeing a middle aged angry looking white guy wearing a Hitler moustache unironically is likely to be fear and alarm.

Now what Jones is saying is he thinks women are "melting" and "going wild" for him.

Therefore the conclusion that must be drawn is Alex Jones is so broken he thinks fear and disgust from women are signs of horniness.

Idk why but he gives more lukashenko than Hitler. Must be the whole fat guy without much hair thing. Also isn't he worried about insufficiently strained cocaine?

This is a man desperate for attention. Now many times when I'm shaving off the winter beard ... I'll end it with the Hitler stache to freAk out the wife..... However it does not leave the house. Why? Because I'd hate to be judged incorrectly by people as an asshole. This guy though? He is begging people to judge because he needs the acknowledgement and attention. Creep.

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.

I was having trouble imagining someone less sexually attractive than Alex Jones, but Alex Jones with a Hitler moustache may actually win. Or maybe covering any part of his face makes him look better, and he should just grow all the facial hair and also wear sunglasses.

Lex Luther meets Adolf Hitler looks with blue eyes, and they just didn't know what to do. They're like melting.

Self-confidence is everything folks.
If you ever look into the mirror and feel a little silly for any reason, take a deep breath.
At least you're not the clown who thinks Hitler x Lex Luther is attractive to any person.
