Yeah! Just because a racist, fascist douchebag does a seig heil doesn’t mean you should tell obvious big mean old lies about him being a Nazi!
You tell those woke mind virus victims, Joe!
He’s not hitler. He’s just a nazi.
I feel dumber just having read that. Apparently pointing out that someone made a Nazi salute is covering for the fact that … checks notes … you’re an asshole. The fact that this village idiot is popular is truly a damning indictment of America.
Joe Rogan is a meathead.
Close your eyes and imagine a meathead.
That’s Joe Rogan.
Only a fool would listen to what Joe Rogan has to say because only fools listen to meatheads.
Unfortunately, we live in an age where meatheads are idolized by millions of people. Because our educational systems have failed. Because many, if not most, humans were simply not ready for the internet.
The guy from News Radio?
The sad thing is that when someone says that, they could also be talking about Andy Dick.
No one talks about Andy Dick
I still can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone gives a shit about what Joe Rogan says. We need to stop giving monumentally stupid people such large platforms.
He’s popular because of long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda. It’s not that hard to understand why he has a large audience. The amount of push back from people complaining about him “platforming” people they disagree with further adds to the appeal. People want free expression and exchange of ideas, not censorial hall monitors with holier-than-thou attitudes who think they know better than you.
The problem is meathead Joe Rogan lets his guests tell cool stories about their experiences to gain an audience, then proceeds to express the stupidest fucking thoughts imaginable to all those people from the gaping anus that serves as his mouth.
He’s the first person to say not to listen to him. I don’t have an issue with people expressing their opinions even if they’re as mean as this; usually folks are nicer about it when it’s in person and not online.
long-format, uncensored interviews with interesting people in en era of heavy media manipulation and short form propaganda.
There seem to be lots of options for that these days. He’s not so unique anymore.
But he built up such a large audience.
I use to casually watch select episodes where the guest was someone cool or interesting. And the fringe topics could be fun.
But now… bleh. It’s all too self aware and shot with bullshit now.
Sure that’s fair. There is a lot of bullshit from a lot of places these days. You’ve gotta be able to filter it for yourself. You don’t have to agree with every position someone has on every single political issue.
I can’t either, but he helped swing the election.
Whether or not you or I care what he has to say doesn’t change that he has a huge audience of people who do care and if we just tune him out instead of rebutting his crazy shit he’ll go completely unchecked.
There’s an argument to be made that just engaging his bullshit gives it weight. Something about arguing with a pig just gets you pulled into the mud and the pig likes it or somesuch. (I know, I butchered that saying).
I honestly prefer the angle of “Oh, you listen to Joe Rogan. Then clearly your opinion is of no consequence and I want nothing with you”.
And people wonder how the Democrats lost in 2024.
“Oh this person did one thing that isn’t permanent and they could possibly have their viewpoints changed if they were around people like me who disagree with them? Nah I’m going to tell them that because they listen to a podcast of a guy I hate that I think everything about them is wrong and then I will never speak to them again.”
The only way to stop the young men and women from getting sucked down there pipeline into the alt right dude bro bullshit is to fucking talk to them like they are humans that can make mistakes. When you write them off entirely instantly without even a second thought you are robbing everyone involved of the potential for personal growth and understanding.
Ironically, Marc Andreessen was on the JRE podcast and brought up that the new “woke” stuff essentially functions as a cult or neo-religion without a concept of forgiveness.
I’m noticing that being a “man’s man” seems to correlate with being a bootlicker.
Anti intellectualism and submitting to fascist authority both align with machismo culture.
Moat of them have been trained from a very young age by their religious leaders to beleive anything without proof and that malice is the most effective and moral way to obtain dopamine.
And extreme toxicity to the point that it drives everyone away from them so they just start with some Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why it’s not their fault people hate them.
an entire ideology totally deaf to irony.
Nazi sympathizer = Nazi
Dont trust our lying eyes, eh?
When your podcast accepts Nazis on your show … your show is Nazi propaganda
More accurately, when your podcast accepts nazi’s on your show… and you let them go off on rants and you don’t push back on them… your show is nazi propoganda.
It’s perfectly reasonable for a show to have horrific people on… so long as they loudly are showing “No that is bullshit, here’s why that is bullshit!”.
if you still have spotify, please cancel it.
Which music streaming service do you recommend? (honest question)
I’ve tried a few of them, all with family plans:
-
Amazon Music: good track selection, awful apps. Horrid integration with Sonos.
-
YouTube Music: I was using this for quite a while, my kids hated it because of the way the miniplayer worked. I found it frustrating because it would often play a YouTube rip of a song instead of the album track.
-
Tidal: great choice, but I couldn’t get it to use gapless playback when casting to my receiver.
-
Apple Music: we’re currently all using this one. Everyone is happy (Android, Chromecast, Sonos, iPhones, iPads, Car Play, and Android Auto). Finally.
-
YouTube premium has YouTube music, and it works well enough for me and my extended family
I use Tidal but their servers kind of suck sometimes.
Yes, I guess at this point Spotify is a pro-Nazi business.
What large corporation isn’t at this point?
Does Joe Rogan own Spotify?
No, but they’re donating money to the inauguration and hosting Rogan, Shapiro, and others podcasters to, by Spotify’s own word, “tout the power of podcasts in the election”. It seems awfully cozy behavior.
Oh shit, thanks for the jnfo!
So, this whole dynamic is very simple: If you’re defending a Nazi, you’re a Nazi.
If you’re at a dinner and there are 4 nazis sitting at the table with you, there are 5 nazis at the table.
Can always count on Joe Rogan to be the smartest man in the room when he’s alone.
I don’t know, I think he may be the first person to ever be stupider than himself.
Mans got 2 braincells fighting for 3rd place and they’re both losing.
Dude’s about as clever as frozen scallop.
Come on can we not use that type of word. Can’t we make fun of him for his terrible beliefs and not his IQ, I know plenty of lower intelligent people who are not Nazi sympathizers.
No one ever said he’s a Nazi sympathizer because he’s stupid. He’s a Nazi sympathizer and he’s stupid.
Come on just because because people are of lower intelligence doesn’t mean you should blanket grenade them with slurs, your hurting innocent people with your speech.
Who exactly am I hurting by saying Joe Rogan is stupid? His asshole fans?
And am I hurting assholes by saying his fans are assholes?
Marginalized groups of people who are of lower intellect and education.
Can you show any evidence that people in any significant number find the word ‘stupid’ to be hurtful to a whole group of people?
Because in my 47 years, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone anywhere claim that ‘stupid’ is a generally offensive word that hurts people as a group.
Keep doubling down, you fucking jackasses. Rest of the world is watching.
Key word is “watching”. They’re more than happy to have an audience as long as they get what they want. And they do and they are.
What’s another word for a guy who defends nazis?
Hmm i have the feeling it’s start with a N
He funds AfD, Joe.
And does Nazi salutes in public. And supports “Tommy Robinson”, leader of the UK’s stupidest far-right thugs. And was praised by his own father for returning to his Nazi roots.
