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.

    Counterpoint - you’re cherry picking. He also invites left wing guests and gives them the same opportunity to speak.

    He has a vast audience because a more centrist view of things appeals to a huge # of people. Your description of his audience is reductive and close minded. Yep, there are people who fit that description. And there are going to be others who fit every other description you can write down, too. Why? Because hundreds of millions of people listen.

      That’s not true. You want to imagine he’s centrist because it gratifies your ego, but he is simply right-wing.

      As are the people who he appeals to.

          In what sense would their numbers make Rogan’s any better?

          You didn’t really think about this whataboutism moment too hard, did you.
