But instead of selling junk, he does a lot of junk begging.

But instead of selling junk, he does a lot of junk begging.

I just checked infowarsstore.com; Alex Jones is currently selling
consumables like testosterone enhancers, nootropics, fluoride-free
toothpaste, and other various supplements, paranoiac/prepper gear like
MREs and solar powered lanterns, Faraday enclosures, and various
filters, and books he's written or promotes. Seems like you actually
would get what you intended to pay for, even if it's a tablet filled
with snake oil.

John Henry doesn't give you anything in exchange for your cash. He tried selling stickers here on RSP-W once, and the feedback was that they were poorly-made with jagged edges and bad formatting. He also tried selling
copies of the RSPWCon footage which he didn't film and had no copy
rights to or subject release authorizations for, and was rightfully shut
down.

The people who mocked John Henry mercilessly with the sendmoneytobeefy
fan site actually managed to produce merchandise, but John himself gives
you nothing in exchange for your money except for lectures.

Alex Jones in his early years would go out with a cameraman and confront politicians and law enforcement on the streets, and interview people to
get opinions about local topics. He got footage in Bohemian Grove,
interviews outside of the Davidian compound in Waco, etc. John Henry
presents himself an activist but does not seem to do anything besides
make social media posts, and not even interesting ones out in the world
from a phone, but from his room at his computer. All of his videos
involve him talking to a camera, alone. He doesn't confront people, or
attend protests, or invite or engage in debate. He won't even debate in
text! Alex Jones may be wrong about a great many things, but he is
fearless and will confront head-on people he disagrees with.

Here's something funny: John Henry's reddit account. https://reddit.com/user/johnhenryus/
See how he posted "ANTIFA STATEMENT ON THE RITTENHOUSE VERDICT"? https://old.reddit.com/r/AntifascistsofReddit/comments/qxsr9d/antifa_stat ement_on_the_rittenhouse_verdict/ It was promptly deleted by the mods,
who informed him that: "Anti-fascism isn't an organization and there is
no entity that releases statements for "antifa"."

John Henry considers himself AntiFa, and maintains social media pages
for AntiFa: https://www.facebook.com/WeAntiFascists/ https://twitter.com/WeAntiFascists
...which only consist of recycling his own content. John isn't out in
the field with bike locks and Molotovs. He doesn't seem to go outside
for anything except when Arby's and evictions necessitate it.

Alex Jones also doesn't take himself too seriously. He mocks himself and
the general impression that most people have of him. John Henry has
dedicated mockers but never leans into that at all because his ego is
too fragile. It's funny; if John Henry had any sense whatsoever, he
would capitalize (shock horror) on his infamy and use it as leverage to
promote the ideas and writings he claims are so precious. Instead he
hides, covers up, and ignores the most interesting and compelling
aspects of his life. This guy was in showbiz?

Finally, Alex Jones didn't start off rich and successful. He started off
with homemade rants just like John Henry, but actually went out and made videos, honed his craft, got a public access show, got on small radio
stations, got syndicated, made websites that were about things other
than self-promotion, made waves, and accrued a following. John Henry
isn't fit to have Jones' boot step on his face, forever.

There's a difference, Jones is shilling these items.

Do tell! Last I checked he was flogging the right to get producer
credits for his Beg-A-Thons for a month if you send him money. I also
seem to have heard he was trying to get people to buy shirts and other
crap through some store that he didn't set up. I'm sure a "Chadweasel
Rules RSPW" would get the Mong Brothers stampeding but it seems it's
just another missed marketing opportunity. Bad choices abound in the
World of John Henry.

Damn, another missed memoribilia opportunity!

Does it indicate anywhere that the moderator was Matt Desmond, the Evil
Alex Cain or Beth Aultman? Seems like John could have made a show about
that.

He's too lazy to beg at exit ramps. Must be beneath him.

I'm guessing it's too much like scutwork for John.

Excellent work. When John compares badly to Alex Jones, it might be time
to call a Boyardee Intervention.
