This. Jones knows his viewers are dangerous and armed and insane and frequently sics them on people while claiming plausible deniability i.e. "I only said Sandy Hook parents were actors and no kids died. I didn't tell anyone to attack them." Yet that's what he hopes happens. He wants his fans to do the dirty work of attacking and even hurting the people he chooses.
They figured out that it's the one "line that must not be crossed" and are attempting to weaponize it, like Cernovich. Pedophilia is so bad that it even causes well intentioned liberals to lose their minds and lash out at the first thing they see.
Some of his audience does. He's playing to their supernatural paranoia.
It's illegal but I think it has to be directed towards the person in question, like a phone call or e-mail, or there to be justifiable reason to believe it true.
Exactly.
I just want to point out here that Cernovitch and the alt-right are not true pioneers in the absolute sense of the word when it comes to this. I've followed a variety of online far-right communities for several years now, and pedophilia has been a pervasive subject hovering around these places for a long time.
Americans don't think about the long run. This is actually true of liberals and conservatives (and humans in general) it's one of our big problems and why we have the pendulum effect.
Him having an audience is proof something is seriously wrong with America and not necessary that Alex Jones is out of date.
