Devil’s Advocate coming in, Joe Rogan doesn’t identify himself as a conservative and does hold some political beliefs of either side, preferring to remain apolitical in many of his interviews, however he does speak with a lot of conservatives and had an especially anti-vax opinion during the pandemic. IMO, he can fuck off, but as an individual rather than a representative of a larger group.
He’s a “right winger” who endorsed Bernie in the primaries and voted for Jorgenson in the general elections. Seems like you really want to simplify a nuanced issue as much as possible, I understand that feeling, but the truth is not black and white.
“When the JRE sends its fanbase, they’re not sending their best. … They’re sending fans that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing stupidity. They’re bringing both-sidesism. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
There we go, that’s a much more accurate assessment. Although, as another commentator has pointed out, he very recently took a hard right and is supporting De Santis while openly being friends with Alex Jones.
He’s a “right winger” who endorsed Bernie in the primaries and voted for Jorgenson in the general elections.
You say that as if this is some argument against him being a right wing grifter? He routinely pushes right wing bullshit. Thats what makes him a right winger, not wether or not he (claims) votes for the main right wing party, or some useless 3rd party right wing party.
He supports Bernie because weed and Obama was not left wing. He also voted for a right wing party by his own admission and constantly peddles right wing propaganda
The devil’s advocate is needed to bring the sort of individual fairness that even the worst of us deserve, and to assess the situation from all possible angles. Care to explain why it’s a shitty opinion?
Explain why Joe Rogan is a shitty person and a huge red flag if someone listens to them? Pretty sure everyone else in this thread has already explained that, you just don’t care to listen.
downvoted en masse, wow great job guys this is totally how we should respond to people who hold mixed bag opinions (yes sarcasm rofl i wanted sanders to win)
I appreciate an earnest Devil’s advocacy, but Rogan was better years ago, he even had a mix of political voices.
Now his guests skew significantly right. He’s still friends with Alex Jones, he’s told his audience on the record to vote Republican, as he himself has done, and he has endorsed Ron de Santis this election cycle (despite the many policies Rogan would disagree with). He is hard right now, but dishonest about it, and it lures people into the right wing grift.
You’re getting down-voted because, either you know all this and are cherry picking outdated evidence, or you don’t but you should.
