    This is a man desperate for attention. Now many times when I’m shaving off the winter beard … I’ll end it with the Hitler stache to freAk out the wife… However it does not leave the house. Why? Because I’d hate to be judged incorrectly by people as an asshole. This guy though? He is begging people to judge because he needs the acknowledgement and attention. Creep.

    Honestly it looks like an improvement but probably any beard would.

    What would help more is him stopping drinking and having a discernable neck again.

    So much for beauty tips for Alex Jones

    I’ve never supported Hitler

    Guy wearing a Hitler 'stache as a “social experiment.”

            It was called the Chaplin before Hitler grew one. Hitler grew it to help soften his public image. He was known to be a big fan of American movies. And had them imported during WWII for private screenings, even though it was illegal in the rest of Nazi Germany.

              How ironic, then, that Charlie made such a scathing satirical movie about the absurdity of Adolf!

            I have always read that the style was in vogue among men who had to fight in WWI where the use of gas masks discouraged keeping a full beard or moustache as it hindered adherence.

            You can see the shift in the American presidents too.

      A National Socialist Experiment. He wants to find out how long he can survive in public with a hitler mustache.

      Me? Oh, ahah. no. These people need serious mental help, education, and time away from nazi propagandists.

      It’s the right-wingers that are the assassins, apparently. They really know evil, you know? Beats me, they’re cultist lunatics. It’s not going to be hard for them to detect the “Totally normal guy doing a social experiment” from their scope.

      School full of children > Hitlerized Alex Jones. Where would you rather have the christian terrorist shooting people up?

    He’s just trolling, he needs to sustain attention which translates to income, now that it’s waning and he looks like a loser. What else is he supposed to do – get an HVAC license? Work at an Apple store? His options are limited.

      100% this.

      It’s such a well established business model now.

      Stimulate outrage amongst sane normal people. Free publicity. Engage with assholes who will buy your snake oil.

      Gotta point out nazis when you see them, and that’s all this is. Alex Jones is a nazi, in a nazi party, as a nazi propagandist, with a hitler mustache to show his nazi allegiance.

      All these guys went to Epstein island, right? Or were they too poor? Bottom tier suckups?

        I guarantee you Alex Jones did not go to Epstein island. That was for presidents and billionaires. They would have laughed at him and told him to get back to his trailer park and get some craigslist hookers or something.

        “Sir, the problem with your air conditioner is liberals.”

        “Liberals?”

        “See they put this coolant in that will make your daughter gay, we used to have good coolant in this country but I just don’t understand how people in this country don’t GIVE A FUCK and I said Charlie Kirk stood up and said what was right, and what happened to him? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? Where’s your daughter, I need to talk with her.”

      I wouldn’t call it “just trolling”. He’s normalizing supporting Hitler. What he says and does has a tangible impact on the world. It allows bona fide Hitler supporting neo-Nazis to openly support Hitler, then just make the same claim as Jones when challenged

      Once it gets normalized enough, they drop the plausible deniability

        True that. They’re not fully mutually exclusive though. I’m just saying that I think he’s doing it more for the attention than because he’s decided this is the best way to promote Naziism. The Naziism he decides to openly promote is usually more disguised than this, I think most of even his audience would be more likely to be turned off by this (if they took it seriously) than taken in by it.

      Or, they used to recognize him from a distance. The moustache changed his look enough that he was able to get closer before they fled.
