That was an allegory 
No, actually it was a lame
analogy, and a non sequitir, to boot. Nonetheless, I will entertain the hypothesis that Alex Jones has chem-trailed your dwelling (or was that a roaming tom-cat?). He even speaks to you on the radio, I'll bet, when he's not speaking inside your head.
You have complained that people don't take what you post seriously, even issuing comical threats in response, but you don't seem to grasp that - sorry - Alex Jones is a source of hilarity (like the recent time-traveller of yore - it
had to be yore) to many of us. I understand that you believe he has a lock on the truth, and it appears to anger you that so, so many don't see it. You call us morons or some other name, just like the believing Christians who come to my door, only to leave threatening me with hell-fire. The same psychological mechanism operates in both cases. It appears to frighten you that, if so many doubt, perhaps there
is something to question?
I neither like, nor accept, easy answers in most cases. The world is chaotic, covered in shades of gray, and I accept that. Alex Jones went to a couple of La Rouch-y meetings, and came away convinced that
THEY run the world and are plotting our demise. He can fly this notion because, of course, no one lives a life of absolute freedom. I must obey my superior officers; I am obligated to support my wife and numerous children. I must do things I find distasteful to survive. As a character in one of my favorite movies (
Parenthood - an excellent antidote to Jones, btw) remarked, "My whole life is 'have to'." Even so, I suspect that many of Jones followers do not have obligations or commitments, and rather narcissistically, are seeking a "grand scheme" behind it all. No one likes to contemplate the notion that, in the true grand scheme of things, we only matter to the people for whom we care.
In Jones's ideology, I see the same dangerous, ideological "purity-drive" that he accuses
THEM of having. Some of his purity blather is centered on the free market, as though it were some sort of transcendent god, enabling all of us to attain absolute, fair economic freedom. No, sorry. That doesn't jibe with human nature. Indeed, it sounds very like what other, totalitarian systems have proclaimed down through the ages. Yet, I already know what your response will be. As all followers of "purity (of any kind)" proclaim, critics just don't
understand what Alex (or Pol Pot) is saying. Basically, you cannot know the Truth until you
believe. Oh, puh-lease.
Anyway, you should also know that I wrote this for your delectation because of your "pointy-head, ivory-tower" remarks.
