How much exactly do you think Joe Rogan knows about the government of Canada? Pretty sure it's around fuck all. He's just a propagandist for the fascist regime at this point.
What's crazy is how outright pro-Trump pilled the Canadian right was until about three months ago when Trump took office. You had the Conservative party outright bragging about being Pro-Trump, Trudeau floundering in the polls because of his criticisms of the Trump leadership team, and big oil-exporting states absolutely glowing at the prospect of a climate denialist government joining hands with them in the next election.
Then Trump took office and started threatening sanctions, he started accusing Canadians of exporting fentanyl, and he started making vague threats aimed at Canadian territory. Public sentiment turned on a dime. The Conservative Party crashed in the polls. Trudeau's liberals surged. Canadian media and politics turned incredibly hostile towards anyone Trump affiliated.
And now guys like Rogan are just catching strays for being Trump adjacent. He doesn't know anything about Canada. He just knows his (increasingly former) Canadian base is suddenly calling him all the slurs they'd historically reserved for his left-wing guests.
I recall shortly back a lot of us Canadians talked about leaving the monarch, but we seem to have gotten over that in a hurry also. 😉
People's opinions change very quick now.
Yeah. It turns out there are much nastier heads of state out there than good ol Charles III.
I think it's just the propaganda machine being efficient. All the major social media platforms are owned by billionaires (except blue sky but not sure there's nearly as many users compared to twit/meta/reddit) and they're manipulated to push the interests of the elites.
I still think we should leave the monarchy, but it's pretty low on my list of priorities.
Funny how their candidate is PP
Joe Rogan became convinced Trudeau was a dictator because of COVID restrictions.
Like they say aboht him, knowledge a mile wide, and only an inch deep. He has been defending women beaters, rapists and anti intellectualism before he became an actual tool of the new regime.
A mile wide my ass, fucker had an empty head even before he started farming concussions.
Whatever Fox News tells him about Canada is what he "knows" about Canada.
How much do you think Rogain actually knows.....full stop...about any subject?
He knows lots about MMA.. and that's about it.
And getting people to eat worms
That might be a more useful skill in the future than you think
He may have forgotten much of it after getting hit in the head too many times
He made his debut in RADIO then fear factor
Has been for a while. Rogan is a piece of shit.
Most of it will come from Jordan Peterson with his twisted, drug addled take. I think it goes back to his News Radio days from Dave Foley's horror stories about his divorce however many decades ago that was. You just know Rogan's wife is locked into an iron clad contract. Don't nobody mess with Joe's roll.
Definitely got it from Peterson. Rogan has called Canada "communist" and claimed that people are being imprisoned here for posting criticism of "wokeness" on the Internet. Both of those claims echo Peterson's idiocy, but the second one in particular is pretty much guaranteed to be straight from his mouth as it's the exact "compelled speech" bullshit that earned him much of his early notoriety and, as far as I know, hasn't really picked up traction with other alt-reich talking heads.
No kidding. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Peterson brain damage was from getting a coma in RUSsia because he wasn't man enough to go through benzo withdrawals the healthy way.
If you asked him who the PM of Canada is , I guarantee you he says Trudeau.
I suspect he'd say Jean Poutine.
this much
Complete and total audience captured.
Who’s that
I think that's his producer/co-host. In a few clips I've seen her asks him to pull up websites or clips or whatever.
Good point. We should help him move. I'll chip in.
He'll probably just use AirForceОдин for free
All the better
Why? Isn’t it cheaper if we piggyback on an existing shipping crate on a ship?
He can go keep Steven seagull company
Rogain is such a pussy. He’d never leave his basement to go to Russia.
Maybe we should help him.
I dont know who needs this information, but:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1701819704#map=19%2F30.204571%2F-97.752992&layers=N
I don't want to know you've doxed someone; but what's with this address?
Sharing information that is publicly available isn't doxing, even if it isn't widely known.
Its a production studio location for a popular podcast. Can't recall which one.
Anyways, heres wonderwall.
You aren't wrong, but it doesn't mean what you are doing is right.
If you want something dirty done don't pussy foot around it and do it yourself.
I think if times were shaping up to be different, I would completely agree with you.
However, it seems like the US is gearing up to start a global conflict the likes of which we haven't seen for almost 100 years. There is slim opportunity, now, to maybe stop it. Or at least buy whom I would consider to be the allies of a free, open, and democratic society time to prepare a bit further.
What this means to me is to not worry so much about how others choose to gate keep or endorse whatever it is you have to offer. To me it means all options are on the table, including flipping the table over. If all you can do is a little, do a little. If what you can do is much more, then do much more. But the gatekeeping, the "Why are you doing X, you should be doing Y" from people who are doing neither..
I know how these things shape up, in my limited and poor experience. It takes a village. It takes many parts.
If you want something dirty done don’t pussy foot around it and do it yourself.
I won't repeat myself again.
Great. Why dont you keep it that way in the future?
I also would never leave my basement, but for different reasons.
Joe Rogan Experience in a nutshell:
Guest: batshit insane shit
Rogan: uh huh, oh wow, that's crazy, never thought of it like that
Rogan: also like, here's my thoughts bro (insert popular opinion here)
Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion
Rogan: I totally agree.
Don't forget
Morons: Rogan is not a right wing propagandist, he has guests from all over the political spectrum.
Seriously man, I hate hearing: But He's had Bernie on!!
yes, a left-winger on a handful of times and basically inundated with right-wing propaganda on the other hand.
That's like saying Fox News isn't right-wing propaganda because they've had Jon Stewart and Michael Moore on.
Also like, when was the last time he had anybody truly left-wing on? Been a few years since he's had Kyle Kulinski on, but Alex Jones? Book that guy a slot for next Friday.
i can hardly call joe rogan a propagandist since all he does is nodding while being higher than the iss
the show is tho
Hes a grifter like many on the right
That was so annoying non reddit Everytime he was brought up. At least the jre sub makes fun of him
I too would prefer he go to Russia than come here.
Yeah. Don’t threaten me with a good time, Joe.
Do it! Go to Russia!
Please please go to russia... maybe they'll send him to the front and he can compost with some sunflower seeds.
Great idea, fuck off to Russia, you piece of shit.
Deep cut. Love news radio. RIP Phil Hartman.
What a perfect meme. I bow down to the master.
We are not worthy meme king
We don't want you here!
This is entirely off topic. But thought because of your username you might enjoy this
https://tworiversmeats.com/
Nature's Fair sells this stuff on the West Coast anyway
That's amazing. Wish they had shops out here in Toronto.
I'm confident he knew he was going to be booed by the crowd if he did come. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't even his decision. UFC probably realized he'd be booed and that would look bad for their broadcast. They could well have informed him that he wasn't coming, but allowed him to pretend it was his decision.
I wonder if Dana is going, he is a trump supporter too
Yeah, and if he went I couldn't imagine him staying out of the spotlight. And, if he grabbed the spotlight, I bet he'd get booed.
I hope Canada realizes how lucky they are. It seems this parasite will never leave.
Please keep telling him we’re worse than Russia.
(Isn’t “I’d rather go to Russia” still an admission that Russia’s not someplace he’d want to be? How will his handlers take this??)
Huge W for Canada.
off topic but I wonder where that radar picture came from that it has the canary islands on them 😅
Probably somewhere near the canary islands.
I don't have an answer for you, but i did a reverse google search and this 18-year-old match was the oldest result i could find. My guess is its from a video game?
Jurassic Park.
I don't know but sounds good.
I'm wondering if his temporary work visa was denied, and he's trying to spin it to look like it's his idea.
Or he's just afraid to leave the bubble.
Rogan is such a little cuck. I bet he dreams about getting tag teamed by Donald and Elon. He wants those orange fat rolls and Donald’s diaper / shit / talcum-powder smelling flaccid cock ramming him in the face while Elon grinds into him from behind with his cybertruck body and broken, malfunctioning penis.
Americans in general are such cowardly little bootlickers. They show off their big trucks and guns and pretend to be baddy “alpha males” then they get on the knees for Israel and Russia or any kind of genocidal regime that shows themselves to be in same league of sadism, decadence, and buffoonery.
That... was some vivid visual imagery you described with your words. I need a shower. Maybe two.
Right? I need mind bleach, now.
Wait, before you do -- feed that guys statement into an image generating AI. May as well get really really dirty before you get clean.
Good. And stay out, you yapping scrotum.
Joe Rogan is a fucking moron, this is a big win for Canada.
And therefore, the world.
I wish a bunch of the population recognized this. Pointing out where he lies, or at least acts like a useful idiot, or misrepresents things through multiple linguistic quirks, will get you digitally raked over the coals.
Sometimes the trash takes itself out
Underrated comment
You can join Steven seagull in russia
They both sit at work and pretend REALLY HARD to be badass. They should hit it off.
Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot who has done irreparable harm to millions of young men in this country, but... his MMA and BJJ credentials are legit. He would destroy Segall.
I used to be a big MMA fan back in the day (way before Rogan's shift right), and it was incredibly impressive how good he was at calling the fights. Specifically on the ground, he would often correctly predict the submission a fighter was going for like sometimes 30s before they did it. He could just tell by the positioning.
Sucks that he's a fucking fascist now.
Pretty sure he stopped competing in any kind of martial arts long ago, and that was only ever Tae Kwon do. I'm sure he trains hard but seagull was a legitimate practitioner too and over a foot taller. Neither one would do much competing in the wild against anybody who wasn't paid to lose to them now. Joe does love sharing that video of him kicking a bag hard though.
Watch some of the stuff Segall has done in the past decade. He gets winded standing up. Or rather don't -he's basically Rogan in 10-20 years, physically and mentally.
I don't want to defend seagull in anyway. But Rogan stopped competing decades ago, as soon as he realized he wasn't very good at anything but commenting on other people. He's a paper tiger with a fragile ego. Any situation he's in has to be totally in his control, including something as dumb as an arm wrestle with a subordinate or a "free speech" comedy club that has more security than the Pentagon. Epitome of a paper tiger.
Joe did a lot of BJJ, not just Tae Kwan Do
Yes he has trained lots. And lots. And lots. And long ago discovered he doesn't like to get hit. And that his biggest fear is losing so he does everything in his power to avoid any situation where he's not in a safe space.
Do it. Don’t come back.
You think Russia has a better government than Canada? What in the living fuck?
He knows where he's getting his bread from. Don't go to Canada. As a matter of fact, stay out of everyone's way and do the world a favour. Cunt.
There's a lot of Russian (and presumably, American) money out there for influencers who say what they are told.
Keeping Joe Rogan out? Probably the best campaign ad the Liberals have right now.
Maybe the Liberals can campaign on electoral reform.... again.
I could give two shits if Joe Rogaine doesn’t want to come here. We don’t want him here. Go gargle Putin’s knob.
#JAMIE PULL UP THAT CHIMP GARGLING PUTINS KNOB!
Joe was gonna get booed so he decided to take his things and go home. Weak men can't handle criticism.
In other news, Joe Rogan wants more undeserved attention.
Go to Russia. All MAGAts should go there for a mandatory visit since they live the country so much.
Somehow, Canada will find a way to go on without him.
Of course he would. He's an asset, functionally if not actually (yet).
Joe Rogan is a scumbag and an idiot but he is useful in that if I find out someone listens to him I know they're a moron.
Centrist Joe centering again.
Centrist? He is full-blown right wing moron pretending to be a liberal. He enabled Melon husk and Donald.
That's OP's point. He's not a centrist.
I would also prefer if he went to Russia.
They both wish you would.
why bother? Russia already came over here.
Why do foreigners hate our government for its domestic policy so much?
I don’t like the monarchy in UK but I don’t constantly spend energy hating on them, nor would it realistically stop me from visiting.
I guess it’s a hate boner thing.
It's not all foreigners. It's right-wing Americans. And if they didn't keep hating it, they'd have to admit that Canada is better governed than the USA in many respects. It's a challenge to their belief that they and their far-right dysfunction are the pinnacle of human existence.
But you have the same monarchy. So I guess you can complain about it after all!
You don't hate the monarchy in Canada?
I don't give a shit about UFC, or Joe Rogan.
thanks for staying home moron.
rogan is a stupid person's idea of a smart guy.
rogan himself used to admit he was a dumb guy with laymans opinions, the problem was other dumb people saw him as a messiah and started taking his shit-take water cooler opinions as smart, and then he started thinking his opinions were correct.
It's actually really handy when right-wing influencers tell Canadians not to listen to them.
Less than a week after he said "Why are we upset at Canada? This is so stupid."
Either he's incredibly dumb (highly likely) or someone paid him to say that (also highly likely)
...bye Felicia
Oh no, how will Canada ever recover from this?
Stop listening to entertainers, actors and performers masquerading as intellectuals, journalists and philosophers
He's no different than Terence Howard that doesn't believe in zero or that 1x1=2. That fake intellectual/actor that Rogan had on apparently.
Uhoh. I also don't believe that 1x1=2 ;)
lol, that's a bad "or" ...
to everyone else reading I meant he:
thanks :)
Kind of weird he fell off the deep end after iron man
Your looking for the word pseudointellectuals, Jordan Peterson, Shapiro, Rogan, musk even.
Dumb old man does dumb old shit and makes millions for it. What a neat world.
I mean I'm sure we can arrange to deport him to his homeland of Russia.
Just don't forget to put some drugs in his suitcase. The Russians love those!
Putin would provide Rogan with a lifetime supply of weed and DMT if he went over to Russia to become a Kremlin mouthpiece and propaganda symbol (more than he already is).
Please go… please go to Russia
I too hope he goes to Russia, specifically a remote part of Siberia with no internet where he never leaves
Remind me how much of your Spotify subscription dollars have directly gone to this guy in the last 10 years?
Exactly none of mine, I have never subscribed to any media service. I highly recommend it!
Wow hes really licked trumps boot. Pathetic.
I wonder if there's anyone into UFC who isnt FUBAR
Hi. I just enjoy watching fights.
What trauma did you experience as a child?
None that affected my choice in spectator sport.
That said, I'm a fan of the sport and some of the fighters, not so much the org or the people running it
Tell me about your mother
Fighters and fans are pretty diverse. Fighting is the purest sport
Joe Fuckface more like it
I wonder if a few Canadian who are fans of this idiot will start to question him now...
I can dream.
Probably they'll just agree with him :/ Not speaking from experience on Canadians, but from what I understand of the cult mentality.
I have a friend who loves him, and Jordan Peterson. She doesn't realize they are shitty people. https://x.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1601994248370679808
Well that was an unexpected pronoun.
Yeah, they are progressive, but naive.
This was only a couple of days ago! He really changes positions as the wind blows
Horse mouth, people alluded him using horse trt
Man it's crazy seeing how envolped in the right wing bubble he is now
This example is transparently silly too. What nonsense.
He sees where the money is, plus Putin is paying a ton too,.
he is already in Russia
Meanwhile, Canadians: "I'm actually terrified to go to the US because of ICE".
Plenty of other reasons not to go. I’m a big fan of not being shot.
Wonder how long he's been a Russian asset. It's been a while
Probably covid. When he moved to Austin, the check cleared I assume. He is safe in Texas
Brain washed dumbass brain washes dumbasses.
And nothing of value was lost.
All American grifters should be barred entry including their President.
I have yet to actually hear a conservative explain specifically what they find so detestable about Canada.
Your sovereignty
Please do.
Yeah, our government is just the worst Joe. I mean, we don't light our money on fire to pick a fight with all our friends. We're not erasing our own history because we're scared of black and brown people. We let people have access to healthcare without having to sell their youngest daughter in sex slavery (sorry, "child marriage"). And we haven't even turned the keys of the kingdom to a mask off fascist doing the fucking seig heil on national television and then pretending to wonder why people want to kill him.
God, it's like we're not even trying to put our boot on the neck of our citizens. You should totally go to Russia. Like, right now. And I hope you fall out a window you drug-addled windbag.
Remember when this guy went nuts and started screaming at a primatologist expert telling her she was wrong? this is the kind of idiot he is he think he's right and for some reason that did stick and made him famous and he got surrounded by more idiots talking about shit they don't understand...
https://youtu.be/__CvmS6uw7E?t=339
For those who for some reason believe that Joe was a cool guy before Spotify, here's an example of the kind of douchebag he's always been. You just weren't paying attention.
Another win for Canada!
He can go there then.
What a cunt. Not that it hasn't been clear for a long time, but just so brazenly a piece of shit. Why anyone gives that waste of oxygen clicks is beyond me.
Okay, let's crowdfund a one-way ticket for him.
I left Spotify because they promoted this turd's podcast on their platform. I joined Deezer since. I'm also uploading my old MP3 collection to FunkWhale and will probably resume dowloading music the old fashion way.
I'm thankful I grew up with 90's-00's internet lol!
They need to bring back WinAmp. Or what was it's Linux alternative? XMMS?
I'd like to apologize for the shit show that is going on in my country, and to reiterate that not having Joe Rogan in Canada is a net positive for Canada.
We know.
Yes please. Go and try and take your Ketamine and shitty industrial supplements in Russia. Our kennels are full we don't need any more stinkin dogs coming here.
musk has supplies of ketamine at his place
Do you just automatically get owned by Russia once you hit a certain level of fame/wealth/influence?
Or is this just like those people wearing ear bandages to emulate their Dear Leader?
What are some good spotify alternatives? I never used it personally, but maybe it can help others cancel.
Mp3s
I know everyone rags on Apple Music but I switched a while ago and have been happy with the experience. Combined with the cider 2 app for music on my computer I haven’t been left lacking
Deezer
White noise is a really good substitute although rogan makes you sleepy quicker.
Just ditch them all. Podcasts are so stupid. Anyone that likes hearing themselves talk that much probably doesn''t have anything worth listening to in the first place... just as lame as social media "influencers"
Been torrenting and burning CDs again like the good ole days. So worth it.
This is how you get started as a conservative, bro, watch the fuck out
… I don’t get it? I’m just trying not to use any streaming services because fuck giving corporations any extra money wherever I can manage. Same reason I switched to Linux and ditched Gmail
Only way to get at these assholes short of violence is to hit them in their pockets
It was the Moore. Nobody has anything important to say on a podcast mentality. The my way of thinking is the superior way in all shapes and formstype that I was talking about.
It sucks because it used be a pretty solid show until he started bringing in all those alt right grifters.
Before he went to Spotify I really loved listening to his show because for the most part it was just casual conversation about things that were interesting. Seems like moving to Spotify turned him into an alt right monster.
He's been leaning that way for well over a decade, long before Spotify. Just have a look at the guest lists. Same with Elon, he's been a tool forever. I don't know why many seem to believe this is a recent development, it's just escalated a couple of notches in the past 4-5 years.
I’d rather him go to Russia too. Get the fuck out of North America.
Joe Rogan simping for Russia.
That was DEFINITELY on my bingo card.
Hell yeah! Shove off to fucking Russia and stay there.
What a crybaby.
If fellow Canadians can rally around this and boycott the event, that would be a shame if Dana White has to look at empty seats
I see joe had a call telling him to align with the colonialist project of his fascist friends. So disappointing, I really thought he was a super smart guy with nuance positions on complex subject but he might be a spineless douche in the end. /s the last sentence.
BTW, fuck the ufc real deep in the ass.
You either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villain
Didn't he just say the bickering and fighting between Canada and USA needs to stop?
That was only a few days ago lol. And now this??
He was clearly given his marching orders.
RIght, US threatening to "absorb" (ie, take over) Canada is just "bickering" and a both-sides thing. Jesus Jumproping Christ these people are lost.
I suspect he's already IN Russia. Joe Trumpanov.
Of course he would.
I think this is called saying the quiet part out loud about the MAGA movements ambition
How absolutely surprising and shocking that Joe Rogan continues to push the MAGA agenda.
I know you would Joe, that's the problem with Far Right monsters like you, you sell out America to Freedom's Greatest Enemies.
So.... Freedom's Second Greatest Enemies...
Showing his true colors more brazenly.
What the fuck does this man see in his isolation tanks
Personally, I'm glad that joe rogan refuses to come to Canada. Just go to russia already.
Canadian here... I have no idea what this slower-than-average gorilla is talking about our Government but I want to find out to boost it as hard as possible if it's going to keep far-right mouths outside of my country
Good we don’t want garbage here nor do we want to receive the least talented cast of News Radio.
What a fucking loser
Sounds like what a Russian asset would say
Another POS that needs to "disappear".
A stupid guy has a stupid opinion? Let's ship him there. I've got five bucks on it. Who's in?
I miss dmt and sensory deprivation tanks era Rogan. New Rogan sucks.
✌️
Dude is so trash and idiotic
Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
yeah, makes sense to pick up the payment in person and get treated like a king.
he is so wise; noble and wise
Excellent, he should stay far away. We don't want him here.
Oh no! Where are we going to get all of our misinformation from an ignoramus that looks like a toe. I really wish I could hear about cold baths and ivermectin from a "comedian" that does seem to get jokes. Fuck yourself Joe. Keep humping stools and I'm sure the cromagnons you insulate yourself with will one day figure out how to drag their knuckles off the floor long enough to clap for you..
He looks more like thumb
I bet he would.
If it wasn't for the fact that we have so many zombies up here, I'd actually be happy for the fact that he could help keep idiots out.
Just another asset
I’m pretty sure he’s just saying to certain people that he’d rather be living in Russia.
Arch-pathetic
Yes, please do. And don't come back.
Careful what you wish for.
Mm ok, respect lost for rogan now.
Only now?
Yeah, I mean with all of Joe's bullshit. He should take the sport over politics. But that doesn't make him money.
The person that would most be disappointed in 2025 Joe Rogan is 2016 Joe Rogan.
The night trump got elected the first time was the night he finally lost touch with any reality and showed his true colours.
The End of the World Podcast was started by Stanhope as a joke, but you could tell as the night went on that people like Doug and Burr realized something bad was coming. Rogan came back to the show, drunk as fuck after doing a set, and started shitting on them for being so dramatic. He knew his bubble of privilege just got more secure so screw everybody else, especially his idiot followers.
Joe Rogan was better when he realised he was a big dumb ape that didn't know anything and was surrounded by people who checked him. When he moved to Texas he was surrounded by yes men, but to be honest I think the ego started shifting before that. He used to do some great interviews, but yeah.
lamf
