It’s hard to “no big deal” Joe Rogan’s influence like y’all itt have been doing when the man was paid $100million by spotify and has very high profile guests and 10s of millions of listeners.

also, my brother listens and would do so out loud in the kitchen. For the early months of pandemic I would overhear episodes and every time without fail it would be joe’s covid skepticism, anti-lockdown, antimask, anti-homeless, and fearful trans athlete ramblings. every day! for months!

that’s gotta have some effect on people. and i know it does! One of my friends is a big fan and this past year I’ve watched his brain break on antimask and antivax propaganda that he fwds to our big discord channel. which i then have to refute so my friends aren’t fooled. and he was all upset about that trans weightlifter in the olympics, suddenly a crusader for womens sports

it’s anecdotal evidence but surely there are people dumber and more gullible than my friend that listen to the podcast.

and it’s crazy bc i’ve been into podcasts for like 8 years and listened to the early Joe. and it was much less stupid and repetitive than now.

I think he's gotten too confident in the s*** he says while before he kinda knew he didn't know s*** about anything

His podcast has definitely taken a hit in quality since the pandemic started

I feel like Covid has turned reasonable people into nutjobs which is sad cause there was a point in time where I f***ed with Joe a lot

I only watch if he has good guests. Yall must be having long commutes to listen to entire podcasts. Idk I can only listen and watch segments

last one i listened to was Kanye at 2x speed

The fact you called it the “alt right pipeline” is you admitting you’re fear mongering. That’s a conservative slippery slope fallacy if there ever was one. I mean the whole idea of the alt right pipeline was propped up by tech companies to increase their control over the flow of content. It’s like fear mongering about isis recruitment videos. Why is everyone a scared little reactionary masquerading as a progressive now. This is what conservatives used to do in the 80’s and 90’s. They still do it, y’all just have cultural hegemony now and have massive billion dollar corporations behind your vapid cultural concerns. Worry about mass unemployment and lack of healthcare things that actually lead people to adopting reactionary views out of stress and resentment towards those in power rather than the Fear Factor guy talking about monkeys and UFO’s.

I found the awkwardness of it funny

Media content is not worth fear mongering about. People’s material circumstances have actual tangible effects on how they view the world more so than any podcast or movie. I’m tired of wasting time on this conversation, won’t be responding to any more hysterical responses. The rest of the population disagrees with any of these arguments anyway, you lost this debate in the general culture. Joe is a household name. People who like him will listen and those that don’t won’t, that’s it.

I enjoy his podcasts with duncan trussell

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9864811/North-Korean-defector-called-racist-called-cops-mugger.html

Woke America is like N.Korea': Defector Yeonmi Park reveals she was mugged in Chicago by three black women but when she restrained one she was called racist and forced by white bystanders to let her go

This is who you believe

for people who have malaise from rogan's bad politics episodes and want something more genuine to show the podcast is still worthwhile, i really recommend the recent podcast with Jason Wilson. really amazing guy and a more personal and motivational episode

The North Korean women story is incredible. Amazing episode. Mindblowing.

and apparently fake

Explain.

they saying she's the kim k or north korea and just doing this for clout

but shes from there and what happens there is probably true. We dont know because they are super secret. Also, any Americans that were there in prison describe it as degrading.

People just want to discredit her because she questions socialism

that story or stories like it are no doubt true, its just not hers

A lot of North Korean defectors like her say she’s faking for the $$

I mean, obviously people in this country are paying her to tell the truth about NK. Plus i'm sure the CIA and military wanna hear what shes saying. NK is f***ed up.

his subreddit is in an open state of revolt again

I like joe rohan but sometimes I dont

Mike Baker again

Does Joe now just reserve a spot every month for a CIA agent?

Keep your eyes open
