Alex Jones, Conservatism, and the Blind Spot of the Technological System
Alex Jones, Conservatism, and the Blind Spot of the Technological System
The Contradictions of Conservatism
Ted Kaczynski, in his work Industrial Society and Its Future, was highly critical of both liberals and conservatives. He argued that conservatives fail to address the root problem of industrial and technological society because they merely attempt to slow down change rather than fundamentally challenging the system. This is evident in how figures like Alex Jones operate—while he fiercely opposes globalists, transhumanists, and the New World Order, he simultaneously places his faith in men like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who are deeply embedded within the very technological and capitalist structures that drive societal transformation.
The Problem with Trusting the System
Kaczynski pointed out that conservatives compromise with the system rather than resisting it entirely. They act as if they can preserve traditional values while still engaging with the mechanisms that erode them—technological advancement, economic globalization, and industrial control. Jones, despite his vehement opposition to deep state corruption, unknowingly plays into this cycle. His trust in Trump and Musk suggests that he still believes the system can be reformed rather than dismantled.
Elon Musk is openly advancing AI, Neuralink brain chips, and space colonization—all hallmarks of the very technocratic elite that Jones claims to oppose. Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, has consistently played within the established political and financial order. The fact that Jones places his hopes in them rather than in a radical rejection of the system itself illustrates Kaczynski’s argument: conservatives ultimately work to sustain the very system they claim to resist.
Is Alex Jones Truly a Saved Man?
While only God knows the heart, biblical teaching urges believers to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), not through fighting the globalists or resisting the deep state. Jones often speaks about moral and spiritual issues, but does he consistently and clearly proclaim the gospel? Does he call for trust in Jesus Christ, or does he place undue hope in political and technological figures?
Jesus warned in Matthew 7:21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. If Jones is compromising with the world, placing his trust in flawed men, and focusing on earthly battles rather than the eternal gospel, then one must question whether he is truly walking in faith.
The Danger of Trusting in Men
The real takeaway is this: trust in Christ, not in Christians, not in political figures, and certainly not in technology. Even well-meaning conservatives can become blind to the reality of the system. They fight against tyranny but still believe in preserving elements of industrial civilization that enable that very tyranny to exist.
Ironically, Kaczynski, though not a Christian, saw the failure of conservatism more clearly than many professing believers. He recognized that if one truly wishes to resist the technocratic system, one must reject it entirely, not just slow it down. This lesson remains relevant today, as many continue to put their faith in men who ultimately serve the interests of the system they claim to fight.
Conclusion
Alex Jones, whether knowingly or unknowingly, is caught in the very cycle that Kaczynski identified. His opposition to globalism is undermined by his trust in technological and capitalist solutions. His stance on faith remains unclear, and any Christian placing their trust in him rather than in Jesus Christ risks being led astray. The message is simple: do not trust in men; trust in Christ alone.
