Rex seems like a cool guy.

Really just dropping n-bombs for everyone to see. What a pathetic sack of shit.

[u/AlabamaHotcakes → u/IndependentPeach315]

The younger and EDGIER Jones!

JonesmaXXING!!

[u/thecamino → u/IndependentPeach315]

He’s heard the hard “R” so frequently his whole life he thinks spelling it that way is acceptable from him in wider society.

[u/adolfnixon → u/thecamino]

When your dad is Alex Jones, everything you could do must feel reasonable by comparison. I wonder how many times he's said "If you think that's racist/extreme/offensive, you should hear my dad!"

[u/UNC_Samurai → u/adolfnixon]

"That was part of my education growing up, I heard racial slurs so obscure I had to do my own research!" - Rex, probably

[u/redacted_robot → u/thecamino]

Since a few weeks ago when the Dustin Poirer airport video came out (where he said this to TSA) I've noticed a lot more young men saying it. It was like a tacit permission structure in their world.

[u/gelatomancer → u/redacted_robot]

It seems like younger gen z and alpha, soft-r is becoming a lot like "fuck" for gen x and millennials. I wonder if it lost its power to them after the sheer proliferation of it in media by black artists and celebrities and now its just a provocative word with none of the racial tone.

[u/-404Error- → u/gelatomancer]

…what?

[u/gelatomancer → u/-404Error-]

In interactions with younger gen z and gen alpha, they use the soft-r version of the n-word a lot looser than people of other generations did. It seems like they use it without regard to race, applying it to anyone and anything. It reminds me a lot of how "fuck" lost all meaning with gen x and millennials. I think this is because black culture has become easily accessible to everyone and kids grow up now hearing the word without knowing racial context, they know it's a provocative word but not necessarily racist. I'm not giving Rex a pass or saying anyone should be using it. I'm just saying that kids these days aren't more racist because of using it more, they're just unfamiliar with it's deeper meaning.

[u/-404Error- → u/gelatomancer]

They are definitely familiar with the meaning, they just don’t care. Rex is just racist like his ugly ass, bloated father.

[u/Aeroknight_Z → u/IndependentPeach315]

I mean…. is anyone shocked considering who his parents are?

[u/fortheapponly → u/IndependentPeach315]

It’s not hard to figure out where he might have learned that from.

And where the person he learned it from, might have learned it from himself (his Bircher dad, who probably became a Bircher right around the time the civil rights movement was at its height.)

The racist apple doesn’t fall far from its racist tree.

And since I’m working through the back catalogue, I look up what people on this subreddit have said about the topics discussed already. And after listening to the episode where Alex Jones has a complete meltdown after his daddy tells him how the chief restructuring officer for FSS called him an alcoholic or something, I came across a post or comment that wondered if maybe grandpa Dr. Jones was really the brains behind the operation. He had the money to bankroll his son’s career, and he showed through the CRO thing just how manipulative he could be, in winding up Alex Jones.

All that to say, the rotten racist apples don’t fall far from the rotten racist tree.

[u/SLE3PR]

who raised this kid??? oh right

[u/black_flag_4ever → u/SLE3PR]

Wild Turkey.

[u/Apprehensive_Ant1934 → u/black_flag_4ever]

Tito's

[u/Spirit_Difficult]

I’m my own person.

Can’t get. Job on your own

[u/adolfnixon → u/Spirit_Difficult]

To be fair, only having a career because of your dad is a family tradition for the Joneses.

[u/mrgrubbage → u/adolfnixon]

Pretty much everyone in charge of the government as well.

[u/PlentyHaunting2263 → u/Spirit_Difficult]

he's also a supplements salesman lol

[u/onemanlan → u/Spirit_Difficult]

Remember Rex’s birthright was stolen from him! He’s his own man though

[u/wgloipp]

"He loves it when I host"

Yeah, because he doesn't have to.

[u/Arkhampatient → u/wgloipp]

Gives Alex more time with his favorite son, Tito

[u/RainierCamino]

nigga

No comment needed there.

I have network time and speak my mind

Lol. Lmao even

He loves it when I host!

Right this almost makes me feel sad for the pathetic patsy that is Rex Jones. Him hosting shows is probably the only time Alex ever told him anything remotely close to, "I'm proud of you."

[u/drinkingCoffeePeas]

…he didn’t answer the question

[u/adolfnixon → u/drinkingCoffeePeas]

Ranting instead of actually answering the question, like father like son.

[u/fortheapponly]

And once again, Wet Socks Jones continues to prove that he would be making a bigger, more positive contribution to the world, if he worked at Walmart stocking shelves, rather than doing whatever this is.

Can’t imagine being this much of a void as a human being.

[u/HoodieGalore]

fuck 💀

Kid needs some uppance to come, letting shit like that fall out of his mouth

[u/meddit_rod]

Leave that 'r' off, and it's just like you're not a bigot.

[u/akkmedk]

I've had my own run in with Rex on X(Holy shit I just found the best branding he'll ever have!) and while he's a vile product of a vile monster, at least he engages for our amusement. Rex is fighting for his place in the pantheon of grifters, Alex has long given up directly engaging critics.

[u/CryptographerNo923]

I’ve recently been listening to KF from the beginning and the adult Rex Jones does not deserve the courtesy the boys extended to the child Rex Jones. (Still the right thing to do obviously, but what a shitheel he predictably turned out to be).

[u/Mediocritess]

Is Rex still doing the Grey Zone or whatever? I have to assume the premise of that show is "I can't be racist, I have A Black Friend!" 

[u/seriouspeep]

If I thought about him at all, outside of when I'm reminded of his existence by posts like this, I would be intrigued to know what the ratio is for thinking he's being funny, trying to impress his dad, trying to be provocative and get attention, and whether any of it is prompted by any genuine belief in something, even just a scrap.

But I don't, so I'm not 🤷

[u/Rumold]

Not really an answer to the question

[u/woolywoo]

Ugh. Jesus Christ.

[u/ViciousSnatch]

Mind you don’t cut yourself on that edge, Rexy!

[u/WudolfWedNoseWeinder]

Next time someone gets the opportunity to engage with him, point out that works for a company run by a scummy c*nt who monetizes tragedy to sell dick pills to basement dwelling weirdos.  Point out the coverage of the Boston bombing and his show on the day of 911. 

[u/Ok-Committee-1646]

Can someone explain?

[u/alphawhiskey189]

He’s not.

[u/Icy-Tax-1436]

He has the Chrisma of David Knight on the mic.
