The guy is either a troll, or just a run-of-the-mill nutcase. No need to really acknowledge him except to nod your head and say “uh huh” every once in awhile, hoping he gets off at the next bus stop. ---

Anyone with a lick of common sense and intelligence knows that Infowars is basically at war with reality. It is completely 100% fabricated bullshit and misinformation. It should be used as a sanity/mental competency test in that if you follow it and believe that nonsense, you are not competent to live in the real world and should instead be institutionalized for your own safety. ---

I can see reading Infowars or listening to Alex Jones purely for entertainment, the way one might read _Weekly World News_ or watch pro wrestling, just to see what outlandish claims they come up with, but fully aware that it’s horseshit. I mean, **I** don’t, never have, and will happily live out the rest of my days without ever doing so—but I can see how someone might. If think you’re going to learn some hidden truths concealed by the government and media and exposed only through dogged investigation by amateur underground dot-connectors, or entertain even for one moment the idea that Alex Jones is anything other than a Trumpesque mountebank who’s laughing all the way to the bank while fleecing the socially inept, ignorant dupes who comprise the majority of his fan base, then… respectfully, I must differ. ---

You can add collegephobe to the list – higher education has never been part of **Urbanredneck** ’s life in any way, so what good is it? Bunch of danged commie liberals, that’s all they are! There’s an undercurrent of hostility against higher ed and everyone in it running through many of his posts: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830831](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830831) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819826](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819826) **Urbanredneck** is really a delightfully complete package! One of my early introductions to this specimen was when he described this highly offensive personal affront that made him very, very angry: > [@Are Americans losing it with Muslims?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-americans-losing-it-with-muslims/741553/1): > > The other day while Christmas shopping at WalMart a Muslim couple was there. The husband was dressed fairly normal but the wife had the full length black outfit and had her head covered and her face partially covered. They got more than a few stares and they was many an angry look. > > Americans have been told to be tolerant but I think our tolerance is coming to an end. One can’t blame him, of course. When you’re willing to spend a considerable premium to shop at the very best most prestigious top-tier retail establishment in the world, you have a right to expect a truly high class shopping experience. Needless to say, this means white shoppers only and certainly no oddly dressed foreigners. (Some may wonder how **Urbanredneck** knew that this couple were foreigners. Don’t be silly. Just look at them. Real Americans are sick of this sort of thing.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/urbanredneck-trifecta-of-ignorance/798209.md?page=2)
