The "virtual realities" people construct to deny actual reality is incredible. Like Alex Jones spouting stuff that those grieving parents are paid actors. Anything rather than accept the cold truth. At least I partially hope he believes his own stories, because if he knew he was just screaming lies about dead children into people's ears to earn money, then he's a psycopath (obviously that's also a possibility).

I think people invent those realities so they can say their actions are moral and good, and in their reality, for example the Sandy Hook parents are the bad guys because they are part of a conspiracy to take Americans' guns.

If anyone has 2h30m of free time, a good example of a man creating his own reality (and having it crumble bit by bit) is the subject of the documentary The Act of Killing, someone who murdered thousands of people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJZb2Q1NmE

The director convinced him and his friends to make a movie about their actions (which they proudly boast about anyway), and one scene in the movie has the song "Born Free", "angels" dancing, and the killer being thanked by his "victims", for saving their souls from Communism and sending them to heaven by killing them...
