This makes Jones' form of comedy (making the rather friendly assumption it was meant as such) irresponsible at best as it causes real-world harm and I doubt you'd disagree with me that comedy that negatively impacts people that did not make the decision to participate in it is not very good comedy at all.
But Alex Jones is also basing his claims on factual citations.
"He's just joking! But he's also telling the truth." Got it.
> It's ironic that they don't get that "if you don't get Alex Jones, you are the joke" but it's not mean, we're just laughing
But this is the point where I have to suggest to you that perhaps The Onion is In on The Joke with Jones and this is when this whole thing becomes a meta-ironic performance.
