The whole phrase is a multilayered meme. It’s generally used by alt-right neo nazis with conflicted emotions who believe Alex Jones works for the Jews but also find his tantrums endearing. “Humble merchant” is a phrase often used by modern antisemites when they parody the speech of an imaginary Jew describing himself in a disarming way. Use of the meme also reveals how long a person has been immersed in alt-right neo nazi internet culture, because it likely originated when Alex Jones’ primary product was water filters rather than supplements, so anyone using the meme has probably been an alt-right neo nazi for 4+ years, or at least reads what such people say fairly often.
That's morbidly interesting but I don't think it's fair to tar scottlocklin with that brush. That's a severe accusation, a smear if untrue, and I've not seen any evidence of it. In fact his comment upthread expresses a contradictory view, just in a 'pox on all your houses' way.
Thanks dang. I'm pretty sure this person is a troll I know IRL.
For the humor deprived, I'll spell it out.
1) I'm pretty sure Alex Jones would be mad if I called him that. That's one of the many things that makes it funny.
2) Alex Jones is a completely harmless kook, and it's shameful how he is demonized by powerful elements in our society with the acquiescence of people who should know better.
3) For example: this is a literal smear done by a UN propaganda agency done against ... Alex Jones, who, by the facts listed in their own accounts, had nothing to do with the problems of their creepy NGO. I'm pretty sure the UN is more powerful than Alex Jones. It's not a good look a literal UN propaganda agency flinging poo at some weirdo in Texas who ultimately hawks water filters for a living.
4) That NGO probably "means well" but is super creepy!
5) Bill Gates is also well meaning (I was once a subcontractor for his foundation), but is acting like a grade-A creep. He has arguably done some fairly evil things both in the past and in the present day. It is terribly ironic that the man who brought us Microsoft Windows is lecturing us about viruses. The reaction against him may be unfair and is probably ill informed, but he should really think about the figure he cuts in the world. Maybe touting a spooky vaccine global-ID regime isn't a good use of his time. Just a suggestion!
Oligarchs like Gates are powerful and involved in some incredibly shady stuff. They should expect no deference from ordinary people, and should work hard for the approval of the masses. The insane insular arrogance of people like this, and their hangers on, well, perhaps they should consider why people trust kooks like Alex Jones more than themselves.
