Thats what you get for being a stupid POS joe.
In March was when we started seeing news of tourists, grandmas, ice cream men, and small business owners getting thrown into ICE Internment camps. In May, we started seeing kids being rounded up.
And only now is he going, "Hey this is weird?" I can't believe I used to listen to this dude.
They have treated people worse than most people treat animals.
They are: to them, anyone brown is a criminal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i’m having doubts Joe Rogan can even read and even if he knows, I’m having doubts he understands whatever he’s reading.
"But, but, you see, once authoritarianism starts creeping in, and it makes some inroads, which it's definitely making right now man."
The irony of Duncan Trussel saying this while wearing a Palantir hat feels like a top tier psyop. I'm not even conspiratorial but there is no conceivable world where you could be that dense.
no conceivable world where you could be that dense.
Peter Thiel believing to prevent the Antichrist with Palantir could be more dense.
The thing they were doing under Biden?
When a republican says "criminals" they mean "brown people who aren't filthy rich". Which, just to be clear, does not include drug cartels or any other people typically included by the word "criminal".
Fuck Joe Rogan's dumb ass and his willingness to take every republican propaganda statement at face value.
He really needs de-platformed like Alex Jones. Same human sewage machine.
I don't think you can deplatform people who are being injected with cash by the richest people in the world. Best folks can do is expose where their money's coming from.
The outfits. All the conversations he has had. This man is faking surprise.
Ignorance of the law isn't a defense, ignorance of obvious reality shouldn't be either. He's complicit and he knows it.
Poor, poor, Joe Rogan. Reality has eluded him.
Fell For It Again award
I just don't understand how so many people can say with a plain face "I just didn't think he would do again exactly what he did the first time he was president."
I call it this as "The Voter's Wager", essentially they believe less bad things will happen than promised, and more good things, because people are too confident in the "politicians just say things sometimes they don't mean".
But that’s such a backwards way of looking at it. Can they really be that naive? I think similarly: politicians say things they don’t mean all the time.
However I assume many of them mean the bad things but don’t mean a lot of good things. Politicians can be narcissistic, corrupt, power hungry individuals: of course they’ll promise the moon but deliver what benefits them personally or do the minimum to get themselves reelected. How can you be foolish enough to think the opposite?
Can they really be that naive?
Yes. Source: I was like that, and my mother is still like that.
I was a little shocked that they used Project 2025 so thoroughly, I though they'd just pull a few key things and try them out at first. Instead they do like half of it in 6 months. It's astonishing for people on both sides, it's definitely not what we're used to. Obama had 8 years and tons of political capital and only got a couple signature initiatives done, nothing like Trump's dozens and dozens.
Drumpy's not doing those things, he's incapable, and besides, he's got an interior decorating thing going on with his golden office and golden ballroom..... He does however, allow his dick riders and owners to do those things.
Maybe part of it is that, as a Queer person, I've been keenly aware of the Heritage Foundation (and similar org.s like Focus on the Family) and following their moves since the 2000s.
They've been angling for these types of societal changes for decades and, like those who were intent on overturning Roe and were willing to work for it for a near century – slowly peeling off wins until they got it –, I knew they knew this was their moment and they were going to go for all of it, whatever it took to do it.
I thought we'd nearly buried them and all the homophobic attempts and moves I'd watched them make throughout the previous 2 decades with Obergefell v. Hodges (the Overton window had finally moved in a way that was downright surreal compared to the for-granted and implicit apathy (at best) and disdain of the 2000s and early 2010s) which made the 2024 election particularly existential.
The wealthy are in favor of Project 2025, so there is no real opposition to it. The wealthy did not want healthcare reform, so it had to be fought for tooth and nail only to end up with a compromise of handing tax money directly to insurance companies.
If you don't like Project 2025 then vote DNC. If you don't like money in politics then vote DNC. If you want the rich taxed then vote DNC.
Let me be really really clear: DNC are the "real opposition" you're searching for.
I mean, I do believe that Joe Rogan is both ignorant and stupid, so…
Lot's of YouTubers play stupid, so that they get better engagement with their public, like saying some wrong things like it was a mishap gives you comments, being a bit dumbish makes people think they can outsmart you etc etc. it's a monetary strategy. IMO.
A monetary strategy that promulgates mass delusions. Whoopsy.
Rule: If you vote for a politician, the bad things they say could happen regardless of how much you don't like the bad things.
He's just mirroring what his user base is thinking. We might be giving him too much credit with changing people's minds: he just says what his listeners want to hear.
In 2024, it was all about how Trump was going to restore American men to greatness and power against the encroaching evil of criminal immigrants, feminists, and trans drag queens (???)
Now the same American men have realized that's a bad look and he's just providing the excuse for why it was okay to support this stuff.
We might be giving him too much credit with changing people’s minds: he just says what his listeners want to hear.
That's from 2016 btw
he just says what his listeners want to hear.
This has literally always been his schtick. He also constantly agrees with everything his guest say even when they completely contradict each other.
He's got no actual opinions on anything and never has.
I don't like Rogan much, but i listened to him pretty regularly long before he moved to Spotify, when he was slightly less of a grifting bullshiter...
He absolutely does not just agree with his guests. He regularly used to tear into them over bullshit they spouted. Now is he still as principled after all this time? I wouldn't be surprised to find out no he isn't. But he USED to challenge guests pretty often at least.
stupid fucking housefly.
The really fucking stupid thing about his reasoning quoted there is that there’s already a fuckton of legislation like RICO to take down gangs. You don’t need ICE for that, just get the police to their job.
I always thought he was a dumb media whore, but it turns out that he's stupid for free.

Rogan is a fucking tooool who enabled Trump 1 & 2.
