When the Going Gets Weird!

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

A rather famous quote by Gonzo author and founder H. S. Thompson taken to imply that in times of change and upheaval, every weirdo can make an often very good living from his or her personal ideas and views, no matter how inaccurate and stupid they are.

I suppose that's what Alex Jones, the far-right and alt-right, crazy conspiracy theorist host of the 'The Alex Jones Show' and founder of the Infowars website must have thought when he claimed that the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was orchestrated by the government to eventually introduce gun control.

Oh well, at least a judge apparently disagrees. Alex Jones has just been ordered to pay USD965m in damages to the Sandy Hook victims' families.

What do you think of this verdict? Should conspiracy theorists be held to account for their claims and the ensuing consequences of those claims?

As for myself, I cannae deny that I'm loving it to bits!

I don't know, man. Should the lawful authorities be round up and set on fire because of the energy crisis? Or the kids who can't speak their first word because of lockdown, should they in future rise up and nail us to the wall ??

It could go either way. Do you trust authority more or less when it leaves us in a detritus? Less is the reasonable answer because it's apparent that nobody knows what they're doing, but then emotionally that can be the last thing you want you want something to deliver gospel truth when it's apparent that nobody knows. The worse authority gets the less people question it, the worse times get the less they think for themselves but it's a mistake rationally speaking

In tough times it's scientific scepticism that dies and I expect society to divorce between the madness of Alex Jones and the tyranny of the judiciary. Either way it will default on accepting the absurd for the sake of peace of mind.
