The scary thing about Rogan is he could possibly be trump 2.0 for the GOP.
Also, fuck him, fuck that sub., and especially fuck reddit.

That'll never happen. Kim Kardashian is going to win.

How did that lady get famous again?
wuffah@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 285d
She has rich parents, her fake ass is huge, and she somehow managed to put up with Kanye West.
In America, that’s a triple threat!

No I'm sorry, we were looking for her mother produced her sex tape. That's the answer. Her mother produced her sex tape is the answer we were after.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 8 pts · 285d
Didn’t her mother watch multiple sex tapes to approve which one ultimately got released?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 8 pts · 285d
She's with Kanye?

Whoops, changed that to past tense.

Kim's dad defended OJ Simpson, which gave their name international recognizability. In 2007 Kim had a sextape with singer Ray J and was Paris Hilton's personal assistant. Those boosted her profile enough to launch their TV show which they used as a vehicle to start multiple businesses and perpetuate their brand.

Thanks for a legit answer. She essentially piggybacked on other people and her show got massive traction.

Isn’t politics like 50% of what Rogan talks about? That’s gotta take some weird ass mental gymnastics to ban politics in a Rogan sub.
tuff_wizard@aussie.zone · 47 pts · 285d
Ahh my uneducated friend, you have make a common mistake.joe Rogan never talks about anything. He is only asking questions. Sure the question was “why are minorities ruining America” but he never said they were, he was just asking questions.

2 years ago. The last time I visited that subreddit. It was actually full of people that were critiquing Joe’s right wing shift. The sub wasn’t even like focusing on new episodes it was just shitting on the shill Rogan has become.
I imagine what’s happened is the sub has been takeovered and they’ll be mass bans and it’ll turn back into “pro-Rogan”.

You can tell what someone’s politics are by what they consider to be a political topic.

Everything is political, that's why you shouldn't shy away from discussing it or ignore it. Or not pay attention to power structures or the inherent bias in the status quo
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 284d
Saying everything is political dilutes the meaning of the word. Things are political or not depending on if they're in the current realm of politics, not dependant on if they could, potentially, maybe, be affected by politics.
Obviously pay attention to power structures, Dynamics, but not all power is about politics.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 284d
so when i buttered my toast this morning that was a political act?
what about when i took a big dump afterwards? is the consistency of my shit somehow a statement about my political beliefs?
Little8Lost@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 284d
Technically yes, like the price of the bread and butter could control how much you are eating and it would be shit if a gov removes the poop pipe system for cost reasons
So i think your political belive could be that at least you should be allowed to have a stress free breakfast and be able to poop in a secluded secure space
But i think the more interesting question is: Would the french protest for it?
(i guess currently not as they have those rights)

If you are a vegan and consider laws to support your views yes. If you are not a vegan and do not care, also yes.
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 274d
This is being pedantic about the point being made and taking it unreasonably literal.
The meaning is that the effect of politics reach everywhere in life, and shying away from making the connections does a net harm to you and the world.

"Free speech"

Is it back to being pro rogan again? I swear it switches every few months. BTW if you hate rogan and want a laugh I strongly recommend elephant graveyard's videos.
logicbomb@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 285d
My problem with Rogan is that he gave bad uninformed advice during the pandemic, all because he's too insecure about how other people perceive him. His insecurities almost certainly caused many people to die.
And I don't think his show is even worth one person's life, so he can't really ever redeem himself.
Empricorn@feddit.nl · 11 pts · 285d
Don't worry, he's right-wing. Zero introspection, so you don't have to wonder if he'll even try!
andros_rex@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 214d
He’s polluted a lot of topics by platforming stupid and bad people. He’s pushed a lot of ancient alien/Atlantis shit, and if you look too deep into a lot of alien stuff, the root is white supremacy. Or flat-earthers.
It may seem harmless that someone believes the world is flat, but it’s something that exists to pull someone further and further in the extreme right wing conspiracy vortex. Platforming these people normalizes these views.

The subredditdrama post about this has been fun to follow.

Free speech: conservatives get to use slurs or buy politicians.
Politics : when minorities and women get treated fairly.
WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 284d
It’s 2025, if you are still listening to Joe Rogan for his “free speech” and “political views” here’s the door…🚪
Raiderkev@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 285d
What's wild is /r/JoeRogan was mostly people shitting on him. They made another bot filled subreddit /r/powerfuljre that felated Joe and espoused his talking points and the people in /r/JoeRogan would always shit on that sub. I find it odd that the mods of /r/JoeRogan would do this. Probably got paid off by Thiel or Musk or whatever entity made that shill sub to turn /r/JoeRogan into another shill sub full of bots.
drmoose@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 285d
r/joerogan was full of OG fans before he flipped to being a conservative tool. So people were rightfully calling him out for the longest time until people just started to move on. I say that as someone who listened in early days and had great fun with the stoner community just being curious about life.
Raiderkev@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 285d
Exactly, and it was clear the powerfuljre subreddit was all bots and shills. I think no one is actually listening anymore. Spotify always tries to auto play it when I leave a podcast on and fall asleep I think those numbers are being padded because they paid him all that money. I think a good chunk of his OG audience hates the chud heel turn, and I legit don't think he's actually as popular now as he's made out to be. He tried to boost some chud comedian's special recently and it got like 20,000 views.
Ledivin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 285d
Man, I genuinely miss the first few years. There were just so many interesting people on, great conversations, and without any nazis, it was wonderful 😭
drmoose@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 285d
Yeah so many of people I followed since early 00s are turning into spiteful, senile idiots. Makes me worry about my own aging - do we all degrade into these mindless zombies eventually? Just put me down if I ever show symptoms like that.
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 284d
Anyone here remember /r/roejogan ?
The shitpost trolling was fun.

wtf is not political? In America, it always starts from the top.

Looks like Joe Rogan is not the only one who is retarded here.

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 285d
When I first discovered that sub, I was a JR fan, and assumed everyone else there would be fans too but all I saw were trolls mocking him with every post & every comment 🤷🏼♀️ So I left.

As long as they ban all political speech from both sides who cares? There is plenty of that on reddit anyway. If they only ban the stuff that they don't like then f 'em.
Empricorn@feddit.nl · 6 pts · 285d
It's... Reddit. Do you think they'll ban pro-corporate speech that appeals to the Republican base? Of course not.
kameecoding@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 285d
How do you ban all political speech, without banning almost all speech?
Ledivin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 285d
Only classify points that disagree with your worldview as "political"
