    I have a friend that started saying some weird stuff. I asked if he listened to rogan and they said that he’s great and got defensive right away. I wonder if they ever figured out how I knew they listened to rogan or thought about it at all.

      Getting defensive means they know it’s bad, but somehow still pretend to themselves it’s not?

        Nah, getting defensive means they ran out of talking points they’ve been fed and don’t know how to think for themselves.

        It’s like someone who plays EA sports game by themselves on easy and then throw the controller when they get smoked playing against another person

    When you realize that you actually just feel bad for most people, and then it turns back to hate for the billionaires who have been pulling the strings for thousands of years…

    Joe Rogan is also responsible for why the stand up comic scene is so garbage now. It’s nothing but Joe Rogan style right wing bros, doing the same stupid style of comedy.

      Imbeciles have bought their way into the presidency, and bottom-tier comedians have bought themselves into gatekeepers of comedy. Next they’re going to tell me absolute fucking morons have bought their way into the top of Big Tech…

      Never shame people for getting better… It’s counterproductive and honestly weirdly spitefull, why are you not just happy they saw the light?

      I used to listen to Rogan a lot. Because IMO he is a great interviewer and he was great at creating a casual environment.

      His interviews with Burr and Chapelle were great, and I love the one with Tarantino.

      I did not follow on his UWF fights nor the conspiration videos, since I am not into that.

      I never had him as a valid political interlocutor so I did not disengage until he overtly supported Trump. Then the mask was completely off and it was obvious that he is a grifter.

      Rogan is a very skilled influencer, he is very smart and he has his guests doing the talking.

      When I disengaged, I notice how often he is recommended innsuggestions, exactly like the “WOKES OWNED” kind of wideos.

      He is another part of this machinery that the Elites have created to divide and conquer the plebes.

      there’s nothing wrong with character growth

      but, yes, you couldn’t be a decent person and subscribe to it because you thought it was valuable content

      Old rogan was fine. It was just silly stoners getting high and bsing about aliens and which animal would win in a fight. It was stupid but entertaining. He wasn’t always a right wing dingus.

    There’s no need for emphasis on gender they simply become a decent human being.

    I still can’t believe the lunkhead electrician from News Radio became so influential.

    Andy Dick ended up being the better person, after all.

    I’ve watched a few of his podcasts. But they’re the ones with aliens, history, conspiracy stuff. His political stuff is crap.
