I remember watching it as a teenager and I was blown away. I don't know if I'll get the same feeling if I watch it again as an adult though.
Ps: my first time on lemmy, good stuff on here folks.

I was fascinated by it when I was young. Now I think it was one of the points where internet conspiracy theories started. How the "documentation" was told is very much manipulating.
It was definitely an early catalyst for directing conspiracy minded people into deeper and deeper rabbit holes. I'd bet for most of us, this is how we discovered Alex Jones and as teenagers he seemed interesting. As an adult it was clear he was just another bullshitter.
But now, knowing what we know about geo politics, it's clear that it was all part of Russia's plan to brainwash the right wing into becoming domestic enemies of their nations in favour of Russia's interests.
I used to love watching Alex Jones while stoned. Just imagine hes right and youre being clued in on some super top secret knowledge.
Was a lot of fun as long as you remembered to sober up and realise its all bollocks.
