And is partly your fault, Joe.
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.
Is that the one where Trump just literally never showed up for a rally and people just sort of left eventually?
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.
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.
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.
Broken clocks are right once a day. He’s a slow running clock.
Yes Joe people voted a NAZI into office so you get the Gestapo.
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...
They don't deserve that disrespect. Potatoes have improved many our lives.
They saved that guy on Mars, too.
For sure, but when he says the right things to disillusion a fraction of the supporter base, let's recognize that even if he is a part of the problem.
Remember when Rogan and all the other podcast bros were standing behind Trump when he won ?
Fuck off Rogan, you voted for this you piece of shit.
he poisoned the minds of millions of idiots.
THANKS SPOTIFY!
Going to be?
As in, start being nazis?
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.
The best take I've heard is so open minded his brain falls out.
Joe Rogan will conveniently forget this ever happened in an hour.
Total piece of shit
Acting like he didn't help these nazis get in charge
Joe needs to get that hotdog costume.
Fuck Joe Rogan
He gives right wingers a platform, he supports their lies, he is part of the problem and he should never be listened to again
Stupid loser.
Legitimately one of the most pathetic losers of our era.
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
Eat shit and die, Rogan.
Joe Goebbels Rogan should know this.
Joebbles.
"we" huh? as in he identifies himself as part of their group? while acknowledging that they're Nazis? interesting.
I thought that was interesting too. That rhetoric is disturbingly different from how he used to speak like ten years ago.
What a fucking disappointment he turned out to be.
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.
He’s also how I learned about Abby Martin. And shes cool as fuck.
Like,… dude’s gotta be acting at this point right?
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.
"I didn't vote for THIS!"
How did the guy that fed people bugs end up being so influential?
Oh right, I guess the idiot loudmouth with a stupid combover was given a game show and then used that to launch himself into the WH, too...
The dumbest fucking timeline. I just don't get the appeal of Joe. He might come off as "authentic", but he also comes off as completely uninformed....
He comes off as stupid as fuck.
If I find out someone listens to Rogan's podcast I immediately start treating them like a special needs individual.
There's definitely some willful ignorance in there too
Helps enable evil,
"are we really going to be evil?"
Joe, you are completely behind current events. There is no "going to be" here. They already are.
Leave this guy in his YouTube trashcan where he belongs. I don't wanna see his face or hear him. nothing. You know what I mean.
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.
He spent the whole segment both siding.
Rogan is a piece of shit
Going to be? They already are. 100%
TL;DR : Yes.
.... and the last horse finally crosses the finish line
No that would be Herman Cain.
Still waiting . .
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.
Who listens to Alex Jones Jr anymore? He's jumped the shark
Do you know anyone that actually listens to Rogan?
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).
He’s listened to by millions of “normal” dudes.
spotify?
compare what they pay rogan to what they pay out for musicians. that dipshit got half a billion fucking dollars.
Maybe he's just worried about getting Kirked.
