I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    I don’t think he’s QAnon. I don’t think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that’s what his listeners want.

    I would agree that the context is entirely different in Asia, his show is mostly harmful to Americans and wouldn’t affect other countries much.

      I don’t think he’s separable from qanon or the alt-right. Enabling them to the extent he does means he’s one of them tacitly, if not officially.

      i meant that the person i know is not qanon, i was responding to “I don’t know but if someone told me they listened to Joe Rogan, I would assume…Worst case is Qanon nut job.”

        Part of this is bad phrasing because you are unaware of the movement but no one knows who Qanon is.

        What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn’t Qanon. That would be absurd.

        But how do you know they aren’t posting on 4chan and following the movement? Is that what you are trying to say, that they don’t follow that sort of thing because you think its a movement that solely rooted in American politics?

          i didn’t mean i thought they were qnon, i meant they are not part of the qanon movement

      I feel like the latter conclusion isn’t entirely true. If this is other countries’ exposure to political discourse, you should be concerned about the generations to follow, if we even make it that long as a species.

        Fair, I think what I’m trying to say is that I wouldn’t expect Joe Rogan’s show to be as immediately offensive to those outside of America, who are missing the context of all the internal conflicts we have here.
