Americans aren't disturbed by Alex Jones. They're disturbed by the number of Americans who actually believe Alex Jones

I wonder how many that is on any given topic and what our public expectation is.
2% of the population is intellectually disabled (by definition). 7 million Americans fall into this category and will never progress beyond a 3rd grade comprehension.
Jones is no more ridiculous or dangerous than your average holy book though.
Furthermore his vision of the future is coming true by being sympathetic to the idea of an all-powerful tech platform.
He was bragging the other day about eating his neighbors.
Ezekiel 5:10
I don't see the connection. That passage isn't advocating cannibalism, it is portraying it as a divine punishment.
It's portraying it as a consequence - he was too. If there is no food, he will have to feed his kids somehow, etc.
"I will be forced to eat my neighbour" versus "Sky fairy warns that people will eat one another"
The second is more ridiculous, and more people believe it.
