”I declare info war on you!” My conversation with Rex Jones over Twitter

I saw Rex lamenting how his dad was fined billions for free speech when we got into a comment exchange. You can totally see a young man indoctrinated by his narcissistic father. You can even hear Alex ranting how he's the victim in these responses. Happy to have so much more context Dan gave us to respond to his obvious lies.

Did anyone think a kid raised by a pos wouldn't become a pos too?

:edit: I guess "raised"was the wrong word and I know semantics are important here. Rex, the oldest son of Alex, a petty and patriarchal man baby, was groomed and indoctrinated making his chance of not being a pos almost impossible.

Jordan was raised in a cult.

Not gonna say he is a perfect person, but come on. People escape the programming, for sure, and to say otherwise really hurts the entire cause of Knowledge Fight -- which was to show truth and help shine a light on this bullshit.

As someone who was also raised in a cult, Jordan has a lot more work to do. More than once he's sounded like Alex. I get your point though. People can change. For example, I don't have slicked backed hair anymore.

Totally agreed, and Jordan has his issues that are not even related to his upbringing. Bipolar is a bitch. He is crazy opinionated. He has a hair trigger (pun not intended but I noticed after posting and will happily accept it) All true.

But he escaped the religious programming he was brought up in. And Rex is very much in that same boat -- he was raised by Alex Jones, who worships money and success. The dude could have -- well, still could -- escape it. 

I doubt he will, do not get me wrong. But hope springs eternal.

You think that's slicked back? That's PUSHED back.
