Off with his head: the preeminent responsibility of Alex Jones in forging the present, fascistic state of affairs in what were once the United States of America

The springing up of our present societal rot in the former United States can be traced to the 2000s, wherein the figure of Alex Jones emerged as a pivotal architect of mass delusion. Through personal introspection, I must confess a season of susceptibility to his rhetorical wiles, specially from 2006 through approximately 2010. His discourse did ever boil down to reductionist notions positing that the government is out to poison your bloody cornflakes, and all of our leaders are Satan worshipping child molesters holding Black Mass in every town hall basement from coast-to-coast.

The subsequent vicennial period witnessed the spread of such intellectual toxicity throughout the American consciousness, ensnaring not merely those predisposed to violent proclivities and superstitious predilections, but furthermore corrupting previously rational actors within the societal framework. We may now see why we live in a post-truth age, and we deny not the truth that the majority of the American people are primal and wicked in their ways. 

Resolving this societal schism shall require catastrophic bloodletting and the ultimate dissolution of the current political system. The sole worthy idea ever to come from the execrable Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene is her proposition regarding ‘national divorce’—allowing the bifurcation of the republic into separate sociopolitical entities. One such entity, likely to predominantly encompass the South and Midwest, shall pursue its backward and deranged vision, whilst the other shall preserve higher learning, clean water, first-world medical facilities, and other hallmarks of actual civilisation.

As for the aforementioned Jones, it is no hyperbole when I say he ought to be swinging from the gallows for having poisoned the collective well as he has. Few have wrought more harm upon this former constitutional republic in all its history, and I would not care to be in his place on the day of judgment for all the riches in the world. I’d rather face the Spanish Inquisition with a hangover. - Arthur Newhook, 24 January 2025.
