'It had a wild effect on women'

I suppose "revulsion" counts as a wild effect.

How is he even allowed to have a show when he owes that much money?

He should cosplay Hitler in the bunker.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

Nah, he's got the talent to become a full blown method actor.

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 2 points 46 minutes ago

Make it an Alec Baldwin production.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 minutes ago

I couldn’t read the article on mobile because it keeps jumping around as ads load and change

Thanks raw story for making so much money off a Hitler stunt. Surely the there’s no lib hypocrisy in that

"Look at me! Look at me! LOVE ME!!!"

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 hours ago

Oh look, he's not dogwhistling anymore, he's straight up saying "Here Nazis".

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Meh, I don't think a mustache is going to help with a drone swarm...

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 34 minutes ago

Well neither is a gas mask, so that's hardly relevant to fitting a mustache under a gas mask lol. Unless it's a gas drone swarm I guess.

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.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 32 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

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 11 points 2 hours 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.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

It didn't look terrible on Michael Jordan with the matching soul patch. It didn't look good but it wasn't terrible.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 10 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Hitler hated being compared to chaplain too. It was verboetan after they took power.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

The Great Dictator is an outstanding film btw

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah, great speech and great ending to a film, but I recommend that everyone watch the entire movie.

Not only is it a great satire (that was made in 1939-40), it's fucking hysterical.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Agreed. That's exactly the clip that got me to watch the whole movie.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 22 minutes ago)

We're upside down

I know it.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 5 points 2 hours ago

Hitler was confirmed to have watched Chaplin's film The Great Dictator. , but he did not comment on it. Chaplin said that he would give anything to know what he thought of it.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago

Same with Turd, he hates being compared to cheetos.

"Stop it. Get some help."

-another guy who sported the 'stache

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)
[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

He was talking about Michael Jordan I think lol

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

He means himself. Everybody has a past and gets infinite tries at redemption.

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!!!

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 69 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

EVERYBODY LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!

[–] PostaL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

And, sadly, here we are... looking...

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Not me. I’m here for other reasons.

Ok I’m shit too.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 71 points 10 hours ago

Don't feed the trolls.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 228 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (16 children)

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.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, HVAC license... You might as well ask my dog to become a rocket scientist.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

and... all the hvac techs I know work. they fuckin work their asses off. often in sweltering attics or cramped industrial spaces. jones wouldn't last a damned moment.

'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.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

Tbh there are some absolutely derangenged people out there so I don't doubt this making some women go nuts.
