A big part. A very big part. Like so many LAMF MAGATs these days. It's no consolation because despite the complaints the majority would do it all again in a heartbeat. They have not learned the most important lesson.
But still, I'll take it. Anything to speed up what must come sooner or later.
Supposedly Kamala was in Texas to do Rogan’s podcast right before the election, but at the last minute he turned her down so he could do a podcast with Trump.
He can be right sometimes while still being irrelevant to me.
Rogan is a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. Of course it will be hard for him to say anything against the man right now. Plus, with Rogan, it's always a possibility that he's just so stupid that he doesn't realize how far he's already gone and how much he's been manipulated.
Nah, I don’t think so. I don’t buy the whole “he’s just stupid” rhetoric. I was a fan of Rogan when he was still endorsing Sanders, and the dude is well read and often times asks intelligent questions.
I think he’s aware of what he’s doing. I think that he’s taking/has taken money from these people, and has decided to side with the elites as a result.
Stupid may not be the right word. I used to listen to his podcast occasionally, and he's certainly... What's the right term? "slow witted"?
Like, he seems like he has trouble keeping up. Maybe it's the weed he's smoking.
He also doesn't completely lack introspection, but his introspection seems unbelievably shallow. He's basically just afraid that other people might judge him not to be manly. He's scared of not being seen as manly, which is ironically pathetic and weak. But he's demonstrated it repeatedly.
So, these things together might work to the same end of having him.... and I'm going to use maybe the wrong word again... be so stupid that he doesn't realize how much of a Nazi he's become. He talks with anybody, and the bad actors he talks to lead him around by the nose, and he lacks the tools to analyze how that has affected him.
Yeah I do think it is partly having guys like Ben Shapiro on that are smart enough to plant ideas in his head. I listened to a lot of those ones and was always annoyed when Shapiro or Owens would say something stupid and he’d be like “thats a good point” or whatever. But he also used to tell them off about climate change.
I don’t think Jordan Peterson or Steven Crowder were smart enough to influence him though. You could tell he thought they were idiots.
Fuck you Joe. You give these obvious con men a platform to spew their bullshit then act surprised when it boosts their popularity. He's a complete fucking tool
I just knew him as the side character on News Radio or whatever, later feeding people bugs and then later a guy into MMA or whatever and had a podcast.
Was there a point in time where he was worth listening to?
The episode where he calls steven crowder a bitch for saying weed should be illegal and the one where he shits all over Candice Owens to her face for denying climate change were pretty good.
I do think he's authentically pretty stupid, but I would also believe it's for money. He's had "moments of clarity" before, then changed his tune pretty quick. May be acting up again to get attention or some hush money.
Kamau Bell posted a video about this, and how when you have a kid you teach them something, they say they got it, and a week later they ask about it again; and Joe Rogan is like that except he’s a full adult and he’s doing it with fascism.
I really don’t give a shit what this idiot has to say. His opinions are not well sourced and change every other day anyway. While he might have actually said something that makes sense this week, next week he’ll just be saying the opposite.
As a middle aged white dude in IT, I no longer tell people I listen to podcasts because I’m sick of “ oh yeah, I listen to Rogan too” (I’ve never once listened to one of his shows).

rogan's been paid half a billion dollars by spotify. he deluded his followers. we're all paying the price.

Are you implying that the "right" thing to do was have Trump on and cancel Kamala's appearance? I'm confused by this.
danc4498@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 240d
It felt like Rogan was playing both of them with his preference to give Trump the platform.
Trump worked out, so Kamala was out of luck after having adjusted her schedule to be in Texas when she should have been in PA.
WR5@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 240d
Yeah to me that is shitty to do. I don't think he's right on hardly anything, even if he is irrelevant to the rest of my life.

Yeah, but if a manly man like Joe and his chud listeners would have voted for a lady Democrat they would have all become soy boys or something.
They had no choice, the Democrats made them do this...
