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.

    The connotation is that Rogan is an idiot who might be a decent guy, but he will say and do anything to prevent his guests from being pissed at him. This includes, but is not limited to, agreeing with some of the most toxic, misogynist, people you probably know.

      He has never struck me as idiotic. Quite the opposite actually, he seems like he is probably pretty intelligent. But he’s not a decent guy. Basically I think you got both of those backwards. He’s a smart guy who has decided to sell whatever is most profitable, and what is most profitable for him is right-wing fascist bullshit.

        I think you’re giving him far too much credit. Hanlon’s razor and all that

        I really dont think hes as intelligent as youre giving him credit for. This clip where he rudely dismisses an expert showed me that he doesnt value anything more highly than his own overinflated ego.
