This article argues that Alex Jones’ Infowars, despite appearing to push back against masks and vaccines, is actually serving the interests of the rich by advocating for the abolition of Capital Gains Tax. The author, Miles Mathis, contends that this tax is beneficial for the majority of people and that calls for its repeal are driven by wealthy individuals seeking to maintain their advantages. Mathis criticizes the modern definition of “conservative” as being detached from economic policy and instead based on social stances, which he believes has been strategically cultivated to align social conservatives with the Republican Party, the party of the rich. He asserts that both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are owned by the rich and that their economic policies are fascist. Mathis rejects communism and socialism, suggesting that the American Revolution was Republican, not Socialist, and that communism was invented by the rich to undermine true Republicanism. He calls for a return to the original principles of the Constitution and a rejection of the current corrupt system, urging people to “rise up and start over” by waking up from complacency and actively participating in their own governance.
