Delusions of grandeur? Scare tactic marketing? Getting trolled by youtube comments?

Because I'm QUESTIONING whether infowars / Alex Jones have delusions of grandeur.
But I'm guessing what you really meant to ask is why there is a question mark AFTER scare tactic marketing? Same reason, I'm questioning whether infowars / Alex Jones are employing scare tactics.
Well of course he is, he is an excellent marketer and his entire foundation is built on scaring people into subscribing to his views. Everything he says can be found out from other more reliable sources without the needless sensationalism that he uses to create a phony emotional connection with his audience which in turn ups conversions. So he has to scare people, so he can save them and tell them what to do, the tactics he hates the government for are the ones he himself employs.
Richard Hoagland, a big science conspiracy guy, does this kind of crap too. He was posting on Facebook every three seconds and finally got a flood ban for like 10 minutes or something. He then went on this huge "Facebook is suppressing this info!" campaign. People would post to tell him what really was going on and he'd delete the posts, becoming the actual suppressor.
I love this infotainment. I think it's the playground of the intellectuals, but unfortunately it's also the playgrounds of the severely gullible and stupid. There isn't really a middleground. Either you have a great imagination and love to wonder and be curious, or you believe it fully idiot-style.

I know 1 guy who listens (who admits it) to alex jones. This is the same guy that dresses like a white supremicist and and spouts off about all these conspiracies and my personal favorite is how he goes on about how evil porn is (he stopped after I saw his desktop with 3 chicks daisy chained to each others snatch's)
LOL I heard that guy trying to claim that a comet was really an ET mothership.
It's big business though; they all have shitty sites and link to each other, and have shitty shared hosting. So when the site is slow, they just say someone is trying to shut it down, better hurry up and buy my DVD.
Gotta respect the hustle. Nothing sells more than fear and greed (with the former outperforming the latter by a long shot).
