    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.

      One thing I’ve stopped being surprised about is how much stupider and meaner MAGA can be today than they were yesterday.

      There’s no skirting the fact that Rogan’s platform directly benefited voter turnout for the pedo nazis. If he’s oblivious to his contribution, he’s an idiot. If he’s aware of his contribution, he’s a pedo nazi/sympathizer.

        Rogan has said that Trump himself told him that he only won because of Joe. He is very much aware of what he’s done.

    the sad thing about Rogan is he was a naive and dumb guy who was upfront and honest about being a dumb and naive guy. it was endearing and genuine for a while.

    now after 10 years of him saying dumb shit, and other dumb people egging him on, he actually thought he was a smart guy for a while.

          I’m actually talking about when he was a Bernie supporter but I guess people either don’t know that he was, or are completely rewriting history inside their own heads so that he was always as bad as he is now so they can virtue signal about how good and moral they are for having never liked the bad person.

          I stopped interacting with him and his show entirely when he started dipping into antivax and covid conspiracy hard. I enjoyed it before that. If you didn’t, good for you.

        In 2019 Rogan was what?

        The funny thing to me is that on Fear Factor he was literally the guy saying “you will eat ze bugs” and now that’s a right wing conspiracy about leftists.

        Back when he was “just asking questions,” right?

        I still didn’t know what the fuck children like you think the word based means, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean “spewing Steve Bannon talking points to hand trump the election”

          Back when he was a Bernie supporter actually, I’m sorry you don’t have a memory. Covid is when he went off the deep end, which would be right around 6 years ago. But sure, change it to being closer to like 8-9 if you like.

          You can still have not liked him when he was saying the good things, but I’m not going to apologize for liking it back when it wasnt hard right maga conspiracy all the time. But sure go off kiddo lol

      Because he has the ear of a lot of young men who disagree with us. He’s a douche and an idiot, I dislike him and I lose respect for someone when they say they’re a fan of his. But, a lot of the young right wing men who can be shown reason love him and trust what he has to say.

        He doesn’t just command the ear of conservative males, he commands the attention of America’s largest and most valuable asset and resource, the very thing Trump’s administration is farming and fleecing right now, and hoping they don’t piss off, Liberal Americans.

        Most people don’t care about politics. Most people don’t care about social issues. If we really internalized this sad fact, we could make a lot better strategies for actually getting better politics and social systems. We keep trying to beat our heads against the same wall thinking “Americans SHOULD care about this!” and lecturing and “educating” people and trying to reinforce our very best politics and values, and ending up losing more and more ground to fascists with dumb, simple messaging and easy-to-digest emotional validation.

      Are you serious?

      You’re wondering why does anyone give a shit about the guy who choked on Trump’s dick for the past 10 years, the guy who believed any anti-left wing conspiracy theory, the guy who had a hand in spreading QAnon bullshit, the guy who really put his considerable weight into getting Trump elected while completely whitewashing him and calling out people criticising him as having the “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, THAT guy, is now criticising Trump and his policies?

      This is what you’re having a difficult time understanding?

      People like him helped Trump win.

      People like him are the only people Trump supporters might listen to.

      If you ever hope to sway a few Trump supporters, this is the only sort of way to do it. Give them an out, give them a way to say “well we didn’t know it would be like this”. To the extent it was always obvious that they should have known it would be like this, just swallow it, smile and nod at their change in support.

        People only change their mind from in-group pressure. (That and, sometimes, horrible personal trauma). It’s sad and stupid, but that’s how humans work.

        If you want to change trumpers’ minds, you need them to see you as in-group. Otherwise emotions prevail and they won’t listen.

      Because he commands America’s most powerful asset and our last remaining check-and-balance system, which is tuned-out American liberals who get their news from AM radio or starlink while driving to work a couple times a week. This demographic is MOST Americans, and I would absolutely love if more leftists and progressives with a few brain cells actually read the 2024 exit polling to understand how bad our problem is.

      We should care DEEPLY about what Rogan is telling his audience, not Rogan himself. He’s a mouthpiece for a capital system that wants stability, and if that’s what it takes to end or even slow down this plunge into North Korean-style geopolitics, we need to fucking support it and stop lecturing and hand-wringing about who’s saying it.

      Seriously, we have to support good things. Good things are good.

        Typically, reference to whiteness is a reference to white privilege, which is the product of a social power structure that benefits white people through the systematic oppression of non-white people, i.e. a racist power structure. So referring to someone as benefiting from a racist power structure is not racist.

        It’s somewhat, though not entirely, like how people born into generational wealth have privileges over people born into poverty. In this situation, it is indeed rather classist to refer to impoverished people as “the poors”, but not classist to refer to the most wealthy as “the 1%”… Because the term calls out the priveleged group in the oppressive system.

            I think we have a misunderstanding. I was trying to deacribe a system/social environment that people are born into, not the character of those people. What did you think I was saying they’re like?
