Firebrand host Alex Jones has long sounded the alarm about privacy erosion, corporate-government collusion, and the steady creep of authoritarianism. While branded as a fringe "conspiracy theorist," many of his boldest predictions have become reality. There are compelling reasons why gamers in particular should closely heed his latest dire forecasts.
Alex Jones‘ Track Record of Correct Predictions
Despite mockery from mainstream sources, Alex Jones has demonstrated remarkable prescience over the years:
-
Warned about mass surveillance and privacy erosion in the 90s before programs like PRISM emerged.
-
Predicted the rapid expansion of drone warfare under Bush and Obama administrations.
-
Warned in January 2020 that supply chains were in danger of collapse due to global interdependence.
The list goes on. And while not 100% perfect in forecasts, he‘s been right far more often than any talking head on cable news.
When Jones appears on shows like Tucker Carlson‘s, it pays to listen. He highlighted deeply troubling plots like false flag attacks that could accelerate the police state. He pointed to signs of authoritarian shifts like Big Tech/government teams labeling dissenters as "extremists."
For those familiar with Orwellian dystopias depicted in games, these trends should raise alarm bells.
Why Gamers Resonate with "Fringe" Voices Like Alex Jones
The gamer psychology primed many to lend credibility to voices like Jones that mainstream outlets dismiss:
-
Underdogs Taking on Rigged Systems: Gamers rooted for underdog victories against seemingly impossible odds. Likewise, Jones rails against corrupt hierarchies of power.
-
Seeing Through "Constructed" Rules: Gamers recognize how systems can be strategically rigged to favor some groups. This breeds distrust of institutional narratives.
-
Familiarity with Dystopian Themes: Gamers have battled authoritarian regimes in digital worlds. Jones‘ forecasts about police states don‘t seem as alien.
This breeds sympathy for fringe populist voices calling out elite corruption. A 2022 Pew study found 71% of gamers believe major events result from hidden conspiracies rather than chance. They are primed to take Jones‘ warnings seriously as observers predicts he could someday host the nation‘s leading conservative talk show.
Sinister Implications of Jones‘ Predictions for Gamers
Gamers have especially much to lose if Alex Jones‘ most nightmarish scenarios unfold. He warns of a future where:
- Digital freedoms are severely restricted
- Participation in virtual worlds requires government-issued digital IDs
- Private communications are banned via abolished encryption
- Virtual currencies are outlawed to promote state-run digital coins
- AI and surveillance makes dissent nearly impossible without detection
This would cripple the gaming world that provides intellectual challenge and emotional release from oppressive reality. Government entities could labeled gamers as "extremists" for questioning authoritarian measures.
We already see corporations like PayPal restricting users for political opinions under guidance from advocacy groups like the ADL. This suggests social credit scoring systems that Jones warns about could easily become reality.
Americans Who Believe Conspiracy Theories
| Theory | % Who Believe |
| ------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Hidden future techs exist | 61% |
| JFK assassinated in conspiracy | 59% |
| Secret societies control events | 33% |Source: 2022 Pew Research Conspiracy Survey
Without vigilance now, these freedoms could be stripped. Alex Jones‘ calls to hold power accountable should not be easily dismissed by gamers.
