'Rogan said it was “very ugly to watch someone shoot a U.S. citizen, especially a woman, in the face.”'

It's very ugly to watch anyone shoot another person in the face.

You think he's starting to worry about his own future?

Every time I ever hear about him he seems to be doing more and more brain dead things. I'm coming to the realisation that he's just really goddamn dumb.

I'm sure he'll be fine again after checking his bank account.

Going to be?

Joe Rogan, you have always been one of them, you fascist fuck. You helped create this and you will pay for your part in it.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 6 points 39 minutes ago

If the last 50 years have taught us anything it's these fucking people never have to pay for their misdeeds. Not in this reality at least.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 18 points 1 hour ago

and you will pay for your part in it.

I mean, here's hoping, but real accountability is a fucking unicorn nowadays.

I don't have high hopes that this will be anything more than a blip for him. Trump's platitudes will be more than enough to reign in most of his base, and only a few that actually wake up.

At the same time, it's not that this doesn't help. The majority will turn against Trump eventually and the sooner the better. The question is whether they'll do anything about it before he's gone, and whether they won't just follow the next king loyally.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 12 minutes ago)

roegan is just doing this to fool "conservatives/independants" that might stray from the party, its to keep them in line , much like j peterson does. and guess who is funding these 2 clowns.

Joe Rogan is 21st century garbage made famous by reality TV. Don’t put that shit on us.

ICE just needs some more supplements, then they will stop committing crimes. Actually when is ICE gonna start sponsoring shit, lucrative business idea here

[–] wakko@lemmy.world 20 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Colloidal Silver packets for every agent. Make ICE ice blue again.

Joe Rogan, an intellectual.

fr though, now's the time where even conservatives will be able to discern fascists, but conservatives will lose their media power hold very quickly once they realise the fascists and their goons will come for them too.

Say what you will about the guy, but I really hope he's sincere. He's an idiot, but an idiot with a huge audience. It would be better to have him on our side on this.

[–] DNS@discuss.online 14 points 2 hours ago

If you ever think Rogan will he on "our side" then you're just as delusional as he is. Rogan knows exactly what he is doing. To call himself an idiot before saying something extreme is not only a shitty attempt at plausible deniability, but harmful to society's social contract.

Fuck Joe Rogan and his HGH gut chugging ass

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 36 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (3 children)

This isn't just Rogan. There's a lot of people feeling like this.

An absolutely fascinating polling number we're seeing now is that - even among Republican voters - people generally see Trump as doing badly on immigration. This is a massive shift from how he was perceived before the election, where immigration was where he polled the strongest IIRC. Actually seeing his immigration policies in action has actually soured right wing voters on them.

And the reason is simple; in their minds, they truly, genuinely did not vote for this. They voted to kick out all the "Bad" immigrants, not the sweet old lady who bakes amazing churros and the nice man who runs the drug store.

It's the Shirley Exception. They just assumed that the people they like would be exempt. Because they do not understand that you cannot build a machine for cruelty and then ask it to be kind.

The bad news is, these people vote. The good news is, these people represent a deep and serious fracture in Trump's support, and there is a very real opportunity here for many of them to finally figure out how fucked up their thinking has been all this time.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

I imagine their crisis of faith will be resolved as soon as there's a Democrat to vote against.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Genuinely, what you're seeing right now is individuals in an entire group go through their own individual chapel perilous moments: confronted with the reality of what their beliefs have brought to the world some will be horrified and reject those beliefs, yet some will double down and be sucked further into them.

For those that reject the beliefs it will be highly traumatic and isolating for them and, as hard as it will be because it feels like a misjustice, those who have always seen the orange cunt for what he is should bring them into our community to support them during this process of genuine repentance as there's now an avenue for these people to be deprogrammed from the cult of personality, gently educated to make them more politically aware, and help them find an active supportive role in the community so they feel some positive empowerment and hope that will act as a stalwart against the fear that MAGA had been poisoning their minds with.

For those who double down and reject what their own eyes and ears tell them are going to become even more dangerous as these ideas, thoughts, and beliefs they'll now guard even more closely as a part of their identity which could swallow things like self-preservation, which coupled with the sheer amount of anger and fear is a violent cocktail that Trump, the Billionaires, and foreign powers seek to put into destructive actions.

There's no way he'll turn on the audience that made him filthy rich. Also, it's not the first time he's had a "revelation" about this shit, and nothing changed.

I hope so, too. But, I'm not holding my breath.

[–] manxu@piefed.social 1 points 31 minutes ago

The audience has long turned: GenZ has repudiated Trump and his regime in almost arithmetically impossible numbers. He is just following them along.

Joe Rogan is the gestapo’s voice. Joe Rogan is a piece is shit plus he is not funny.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

His early comedy was funny in the 1990s bro sort of way. His podcast was hysterical when it was just him smoking weed with redban. The joey diaz fleshlight commercials are still funny to me "they put a little clean shaven monkey in there"

This was before the big money showed up to the podcast.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

I tried listening to his podcast when it got big. It’s was boring as shit. I don’t know how people can listen to him talk for hours at a time.

I can maybe listen to a curated version where they cut out 98% and only leave in the part where they actually say something interesting.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 24 points 4 hours ago (7 children)

I don't think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter... I guess that kind of describes everyone in the "manosphere".

How long until he endorses the republicans again for the midterms?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The instant that one strokes his ego for being a contrarian and tells him that all the conspiracy theories that he believes are true.

and only conservatives are surprised.

He created this. Let’s not forget that propagandist who supported the Nazis and helped bring them to power got more severe punishment during nuremberg than some gestapo.
