Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    Its a “fact” that anyone who listen to Rogan is a peasant-minded moron

      pesant-minded

      My comrad in class, unless you are a multi-millionare we are all peasants together. Many of us have excellent minds, as you likely do yourself. Do not tie our mental capability to our economic caste.

        “my comrade in class” needs to be the 21st century replacement for “my brother in Christ” and you just made me make my first Lemmy comment!

        I’m using this!

      I don’t like “talky” podcasts so I never listened but there was a time when hearing about an interesting guest he had made me inclined to look them up.

      Now when I hear someone was on his show I default to assuming they’re a crackpot. And I’ve only been wrong about that like twice.

        Infowars had some reputable people in its earlier days too. Rogan seems to be following the same unhinged path.

          There are only so many kinda-fringe-but-interesting guests in the world. If that’s your whole schtick, at some point the pool runs dry and you start bringing out grifters.

            Yep, and once you platform enough nutcases no one else wants to be associated with or listen to you.

        Agreed. It’s depressing when I am looking into someone I respect and see a clip of them on his show. Minus ten thousand points.

          It’s a pretty good baramoter.

      What does it mean to be peasant-minded and why are you using it as an insult.

          No, its a bizarre thing to say, just like if someone said serf-minded, slave-minded, or using any other economic group minded.

          How is that trolling? imo that was quite a funny point, if the original phrase was meant to be an insult, it was a very weird one.

          You’re being a much bigger troll. You took any kind of criticism of someone else’s wording as an attack on your agenda. Congrats, you’re at least as bad as the people listening to Rogan.

          Edit: someone please explain what am I missing.

            You’re not missing anything, people either think you’re defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don’t care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

            Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn’t.

              Thanks! I thought i might be missing some rogan-specific joke or something. Then I just continue to be surprised and disappointed by people.

                I find it hilarious that you guys are virtue signalling for a class that hasn’t existed since the Middle Ages.

            Pay no mind to these overly censorious bastards; you say what you want to say. Nothing wrong with being a peasant though, I actually agree with that. But you can use it as an insult if you feel like it.

          No. I am criticizing calling someone peasant minded
