    There’s literally thousands of hours of audio of him talking. If he’s full MAGA then it shouldn’t be hard to find dozens of clips that directly demonstrate this. And I mean directly - not ones that you need to perform mental acrobatics first to squeeze out the meaning from that one wants. Repeating some of the talking points only shows that he’s actually thinking about things instead of simply adopting the views of his side. If one agrees with none of the talking points of the opposing side then that’s frankly just a demonstration of their bias towards their own group. Any real independent thinker would have some views that align with the right and some with the left.

    It’s always amusing when people who don’t even listen to his podcast act as if they knew him better than the ones who do despite the fact that they’re getting their info from biased online articles when the other group gets it directly from the source. Once you actually listen the full episode and then compare it to the articles written about it it’s hilarious how disingenuously he’s being represented on the news. This applies to so many other podcasters as well. Joe’s been quite consistent in his views over the past 6 years or so. He definitely flirts with the right especially when accompanied with such quest but the claim about him having gone full MAGA is blatantly false.

      God Damn. You’re REALLY hung up on a lot of shit I didn’t say. I’m sorry man, I never said ‘‘full MAGA’’ if you really want to have a Harvard debate about very specific words, then you don’t get to put words in my mouth. I’m sorry you can’t grasp what I did say, because it’s not what you’re losing your shit about.

      Lets try again.

      if you want to understand who Joe Rogan is and what he does with his platform. -->YOU <–need to look at what he signal boosts. That’s content he chooses to talk about or people he books and how he treats the content, with questioning, or passively presenting. -->YOU<-- need to look at the talking points he uses. -->YOU<-- need to understand what the alt right pipeline is, and consider if Rogan is a part of it or not, willingly or not, by your own understanding.

      You responded to this by saying I can’t prove Rogen is ‘‘full MAGA’’, which is SHIT I NEVER SAID, because I can’t comb through thousands of hours of his show and find EXACTLY the definition you personally have decided ‘‘full MAGA’’ means.

      I’m not your teacher, I’m not holding your hand and presenting information you will arbitrarily reject or not.

      Like I said before. YOU need to look into it. Or, you can be ignorant. The choice is yours.

        Dude, it’s not my fault you got blinded by anger and lost sight of what we’ve been talking about here this whole time.

        A person implied Joe has gone full MAGA. I asked for examples. You started linking articles. Yes, you didn’t say that but you started defending the guy who did. If you don’t agree with the original claim then why the heck are you sending me those articles? If it wasn’t such an ridiculously easy claim to shoot down I wouldn’t even have bothered replying.

        Joe has not gone full MAGA. If you think he has then the burden of proof is on you - the person making the claim. If you don’t hold that belief then you’ve simply been wasting your time with this debate since the very beginning.

          Oh. Your literary talking to the wrong person. I never linked anything. You replied to the wrong comment. Unless your just wildly making up wierd shit for no reason, either way, not responding to anything from you again, cheers.

            Apparently so, though it’s you who joined the discussion mid-way without paying attention to what it was about.
