Well, once all aid and scientific research is cut to zero maybe Trump will give his loyal Maga's universal healthcare as long as there are no vaccines, no support for trans or neurodiverse people.
Maybe he will provide free milk in school, as long as it's raw of course.
“What they’re trying to do is put massive pressure on me, and Tesla I guess, to you know, I don’t know, stop doing this,” Musk said. “My Tesla stock and the stock of everyone who holds Tesla has gone, went roughly in half. I mean it’s a big deal.” Bloomberg
Mr I take no responsibility for ammassing the most money of any man ever, whilst whining about a bit of stock, that means nothing to him. As long as MAGA win him Government contracts, so he can take his X-rated kids to MARS, along with some other billionaires, he could not give a fuck.
What’s a big deal is Americans, Vets, hard working ppl. who lost their jobs, benefits, and security by wielding a chain saw in our faces and not even understanding the processes. Frightening Americans at the whim of Trump. What about them?
George, I agree with you 100% of the time, but this time I cringed a bit at your word selection “tomfoolery”. Part of the reason Democrats lost the last election was because of so-called wokeness. To me “tomfoolery”falls in this category. Lies would have been more accurate and to the point.
He targets young men and they feel “seen” and “heard”, especially when it comes to demeaning women and sharing alpha male rhetoric. Therefore, if you have sons, it’s time to have a serious talk about Joe Rogan.
Because they like UFC, Dana White, and sport fighting. That's my guess as my partner used to watch that stuff AND Joe Rogan until my rants and criticisms of him finally broke through, and he stopped watching him.
He tries to come off as "I don't have any opinions, I'm just a guy asking questions" when he clearly has an agenda & often states "facts" with no proof. His guests say whatever they want with no push back.
But he also said Elon had an app that gave him election results 4 hrs before the media. WTF?
The thought that anyone would revere a former host of Fear Factor as any sort of a scholar or historical expert tells me he is the poster child for anti-intellectualism.
I think we’ve confused masculinity with mean,intolerant,boorish behavior. Being able to beat someone up doesn’t make you a man, being able to lift someone up might. The things that make a good human, kindness, empathy, willing to do hard things that’s what a man is, basically the things Rogan isn’t.
The same reason my parents voted for Trump. These people tell them what they want to hear. When we counter with facts, it doesn't compute because they are allowing emotion to drive their decision making. They don't want to admit their complicity in harm to others.
Then they always will project that emotion back onto us and say we’re the emotional ones who aren’t using common sense whatever tf they think that means.
Anger & fear are driven by our lizard brain; disengaging the our frontal cortex (thinking/reasoning). Cults, high demand religions, advertisers, politics, etc. take advantage of this.
We are more easily influenced/controlled when they tap into those emotions.
People who let emotion control their lives are at the mercy of their latest feelings.
And those feelings can build all in the same direction, taking them down a dark path.
There are, imo, two countering forces to this that can help people regain self-control and self love.
This is the same reason many people have been drawn into cults.
The cult provides an illusion of love for those who are, essentially, lost or self haters.
And I think those people need love to help them reject the cult, and only then can education help them regain self confidence and options.
He thinks he is clever and funny, of which neither is true. He is a fools fool, filling time with bombastic garbage, just like his listeners with nothing better to do. That's how MAGA works. Aim low and you're never disappointed, because you never fail or succeed, which is the biggest fail of all.
You are factually incorrect. Gen X are the biggest Trump supporters - factually in 2024, most Gen X went for Trump Boomers were second place - and most Tesla owners are white male Gen Xers making six figures. Gen X men also loved convincing their sons and nephews that feminists were the enemy.
I think they relate to him because he feels like one of them, a dumb guy with a lot of questions but little ability to vet the answers they get. They don't like women and "elites" talking DOWN to them, it makes them feel small and emasculated. But they don't question their own arrogance.
they "want" it to be correct, so listen to it and repeat it as fact....and in the end most likely believe it's all true
There can be no other explanation as to why 70m voted for Trump, a serial liar
He permits them to be assholes. He confirms their bias and perpetuates their misunderstanding of complex issues. Most issues are complex and require thinking and empathy to understand. He alleviates them of thinking. A munchkin that forced people to eat cockroaches on TV is their guiding light. 🙄
I think the main reason why men, and many women, follow this bs is because of ignorance, diversion and deceit. I believe in free speech, but we should never let lying be allowed protection under the first amendment.
I agree with this. The problem is, who decides what’s a lie? I had an argument with somebody the other day over something very small that I happened to know was factual, but he refused to believe. He even cited an LA times article in his defense. But the LA Times writer had it wrong too!
Lying is protected free speech. Full stop. The path you're pointing to is the path Trump wants us on. Then whoever holds the power to say what constitutes a lie has the power to prosecute people for challenging it. That's not what you want.
There are verifiable facts however. Different than opinions. For example, when lies about people cause them to be killed or threatened, or when lies threaten the safety of a group of people like during Covid.
Free speech (FS) was meant to be free to speak against the government. I agree that lying is not FS - it’s harmful & a form of abuse. FS comes with responsibility to speak truth to power. Propagandists are thieves. They steel our right to hear truth. Russia has harmed us at our core.
'Cause he's a manly man right?
Guffawing, cigar smoking, nuts to the ceiling fan kind of guy.
Heck yeah.
Sheesh. He's a Mimbo of testosterone, a volcano of conspiracy theories, a story teller and man cave dweller.
He's a pal, a bud, a regular Joe.
Oont he's Schtupid AF.
🚬😎
Many of us are at a loss, George.
Despite their own percieved macho masculinity, they are too cowardly to face real problems. Easier to let vile founts of deception like Rogan spew out simplistic solutions that only require donning their toxic macho-man facades. No risk to fragile egos.
It's not that hard. The people who lap up Rogan's lies are the same people who used to beat up third graders on the playground when they were fifth graders, pull wings off of flies, blow up ant hills with firecrackers. They are playground bullies who never grew up.
He has a lot of big names on his podcast. Actors, musicians, comedians, and authors. Neil degrasse Tyson was on. They legitimize and normalize him. Make these guys think he’s cool and smart. Just how the media did the orange blob.
WE MAY SOME DAY LEARN that, like many other YouTube "influencers"- Tim Poole, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson etc.- that Rogan is receiving Russian money, if only via their puppet traitor Trump & MAGA. Fascists Putin/Trump know that "knowledge is power", thus spread BS propaganda via mindless LIE PARROTS🦜
Very likely. Do note that Russia turned such propaganda techniques into an artform under Vladislav Surkov to create a new form of 'open' authoritarianism.
The EXCELLENT reporting in The Atlantic is why the Putin/Trump/Musk/GOP anti-truth/post-truth Corporate Fascists now attack The Atlantic & slander their editor Goldberg ( and because he has a "Jewish name" ), AND because Fascists ALWAYS "Accuse the opponent of one's own crimes". Standard Fascism 101

Rise up my fellow Americans!
No one is coming to save the Republic.
No one is going to save you.
It is our job, our responsibility, and our obligation to save it and ourselves. Start up the militias, let's not wait until we can't afford food, fuel, & bullets.
Revolution is the solution.
The point is: who has the funding, organization, numbers, equipment, strategy and tactical ability to do so? Very few, and "failure is not an option". So, whomever tries best be damn proficient, and smart enough to avoid SS detection, etc. It's a more daunting task than most realize.
To your point, the problem is that few of us do have a local organization / militia like the RW "Proud boys"/3%, etc. That is why I think it would be a good idea for us to at least start to all identify our general region, so that we can identify those like minded who are nearby. I'm in W. CO, You?
My issue, though able bodied, is time / money, and I'm in the middle of nowhere with no close acquaintances.. It would take a small village to succeed, depending on the goal. Cause removing Trump from the equation wouldn't stop the Putin/GOP/Vance/Musk Fascists all @ Mar-a-lardo new year bash.
I would suggest not making yourself so much a target; because you know Putin/Trump have trolls all over reporting our activity here one bsky. Anyway, you are correct that we should begin to prepare for that eventuality, which seems more certain by day that the Putin/Trump/Musk Fascists are perpetual
Fear has no place in America. Someone has to walk point in the valley of death. I don't see anyone else volunteering. Thank you for your concern. I encourage you to encourage others and help spread the word that a revolution is on the rise in America.
It may no be inevitable, and perhaps last resort finally arrived; but you'd think that many more skilled than I, such as the hundreds of FBI, CIA, and thousands of Vets who just got canned without due process, like how Trump's jailing us already w/ no process...You'd think that some would be keen.
"Duped", is more like they merely took precautions to have deniability. Wouldn't you know who's sending you MILLION$ monthly, at least suspect the Russians??
THE SAME ONES WHO LAUGHED at me for focusing on Humanities & Philosophy, while they studied accounting, Law, etc., are the ones who're stupid, ignorant, naive enough to actually follow & believe Russian owned, Putin ass-kissing anti-American traitor Trump/Musk & destruction of our own sovereignty.
Rogan's "toxic masculinity" and "sea lioning" gives many young men in the US whose entire adolescent social experience derived from social media and in-groups, a sense of identity and agency they've failed to develop or find elsewhere.
So basically it is when a person gives silly responses during a discussion. Eventually the other person gets mad and reacts, then being seen as irrational
You grow up in a certain kind of community being told certain things. You get to a point where you either admit you were lied to and adjust your beliefs, or you stick to what you were taught and get laughed at. Someone tells you you were right actually and they were wrong. You listen to that person.
We got this “twat” from its namesake “Twitter and the tons and tons of lies and made up total bs! Elonia put both his fat white ass and TFG’s fat white right where they are.I-still have hope
though.I’m hoping the orange turd buster will slip on a bar of soap. But you gotta bathe to do that.
JOE ROGAINE is one of the PROBLEMS with America at the moment. HE IS the Kool-Aid being drunk by the MAGA MONSTERS to the point where they no longer have a brain, conscience or morals. America is better off without the entire lot of them and their “red hats.”
Meanwhile we have rampant spread of measles in many states already. Parents of a little girl that died, said they didn’t regret their choice of not vaccinating. WTF?
I saw an old interview with Candace Owens, I think, where he was quite eloquent in his defense of the climate change issue. He does not sound the same today.
THIS. I've read a few bios on Rogan. He really doesn't bring anything special or great to the table. He's no intellectual. But he's VERY ambitous & this interviewing opportunity came his way after many, many failed attempts at other stuff. It doesn't require much, just a microphone & a camera.
It’s because America has a crapload of DUMB people! My brother always said, 90% of the people you come across in an average day is clueless. I’ve learned my brother is a wise man.
We are missing something here. There are many educated men following him including my married successful son. I don’t get the attraction but we have to take it seriously. He has the #1 podcast.
Partially true, but Rogan and the "manosphere" misogynists' reach doesn't end in the US. The new Netflix limited series Adolescence highlights this problem across the pond.
Someone on FB once told me to listen to joe’s interview with elon and I’d learn something. I learned that there were ‘good people on both sides’ and the russian thing was a Hillary orchestrated hoax. Also when you leave two guys like that alone with mics they verbally jerk each other off for 2 hrs
Not to mention Joe Rogan in that podcast and the one with Ian Carroll had the big self-owns. ‘But I waaaant to believe in aliens” and “why do we love conspiracy theories so much?”
In my mind, there are no circumstances under which I would label Joe Rogan & his followers intelligent.
When I think of all the poets, scientists, great leaders, writers and noble prize winners, there are a lot of people who I'd deem intelligent. Unfortunately, I don't see "Joe Rogan" on that list.
The men that do listen to him is because Joe Rogan projects their toxic masculinity and misogynistic thoughts. Anyone that listens to him is a red flag 🚩
They feel disenfranchised. It’s easy to persuade disillusioned young men that they can have a purpose, identity and community within the radical right.
It happened in Germany Post World War l where young men turned to Adolf Hitler for purpose. We have failed our young men.
Young white men want to be able to live like their fathers or grandfathers - never needing to compete with women or people of color for jobs, being able to be sexist pigs, and having all of the levers of power in their hands.
They are angry because they need to work harder and be better people.
This is the exact reason that young men (& some women) join gangs. With 54% of Americans being functionally illiterate, it's not a real mystery why things are the way they are. It's by design. 👇🏼
Look at who is attending colleges, law schools….nobody is freezing these guys out. It’s hard work to finish college or get a trade. Maybe it’s lack of work ethic. Or smoking dope all day.
I love your sarcasm😂 but it was easier for them when POC rode in the back of the bus and women got married and took care of them. They know we are never going back, and that terrifies them.
We've failed men & women in the 2 generations born since 1980, when investment in the middle class and communities flowed upward into the pockets of today's billionaires. They can't afford college or home ownership, which are the primary wealth builders, and are bombarded by right-wing propaganda.
But women seem be adjusting better. 65% of women seek higher education. They no long seek to be married and have children. Only 45% of women want that.
I have the impression that's because the social image of women evolved, but men didn't. Women received freedom and selfdetermination, but men were never assigned new values to grow with. Women head the rates because they got the right tools, but men got stuck in the past.
It’s not just a new social image. Women supported each other in a more systematic way to produce change, like women’s health, greater awareness of domestic abuse, etc. The fascists have done the same for young men, except for malevolent purposes.
I'd say they exploit men's isolation to craft an arbitrary merit-based peer pressure system where men are constantly pushed in a direction in order to belong but as it is not a real community they never feel fullfiled so they can more easily pushed to go farther and farther; it's master manipulation
I think this is a lot of the issue. As a Gen X female, I know I got lots of encouragement my entire life to be bold, that I could be ANYTHING that I wanted to be. Gen X males could either be a reactionary, joining the Reagan Revolution, or be a tofu eating/"sensitive" male.
heh, I guess so 😅. Like, thinking twice, their obsession with their sense of masculinity is a quite anachronical posture in the technologically sofisticated society we live in. Their agressive reinforcement of manhood is an effort to keep the old values relevant in a world that no longer needs them
But we tried assigning them new values, like picking up some of the familial duties that previously only women took responsibility for. Some men understood, but many rejected their new value system.
I feel it wasn't enough. Ome of the things I find core in the feminist revolution is that women interacted with the idea that they could exist outside of the perceived roles.
I fail to identify a moment where the average man was subjected to a new reality that could benefit him as well.
Before the greatest Leader of all time, they had access to student loans. Nobody is born wearing a suit. President Carter and Congress created the DOE. Would any left wing professor have said, “nope can come here to school?” They would find a way.
Well it's funny after weeks and months of being told the University Professor is the enemy when they need their position bolstered they send out a University Professor to lecture on how black is white, up is down and left is right..
Darned good question. I know a lot of conservative men and they always try and radiate a persona of toughness and bravado. More often than not, it's hiding a lack of both and they tend to flock to their perceived leaders of those traits.
Seems anything even slightly left-leaning has been made to look weak and effeminate. Rogan has underscored and capitalized on this with his tough guy, don’t-be-a-pussy veneer that sadly seems to resonate with a segment of the male population…..
Just asking questions, bro. I mean I’m curious, and wanna ask questions Bro. Some people find this academic, others find it a waste of time.
Also got a question Bro? Who would I believe a damn word you said, Joe my bro?
Confirmation bias. That’s it. Every time I talk to someone (always a white male) they claim Rogan is “just asking questions”. They create an excuse. I don’t talk to anyone who listens to him anymore.
And he claims to be an “independent” so the listeners say the same thing, which makes them feel smarter and like they’re not following anyone, and forming their own opinions… which Rogan is literally leading them to. 🤯
I reckon it’s because a lot of men are followers, despite their best to inform us that they’re not. Many don’t know how to lead, so they are often lead but the…unwisest among us.
There’s a certain avoidance-of-thinking trait amongst men (and boys) that expresses itself in attraction to anti-intellectual podcasters like Rogan and decreased enrollment in college. See also: Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Grain of truth in there.
Sadly I have just recently accepted the fact that there are many who no matter the absurdity or obviously conspiratorial content without facts or receipts they are permanently entrenched in conservative dogma being shared in Rogan-esque podcasts and stations like Fox Entertainment.
I think the MeToo movement freaked out a ton of men, made them feel called out for how they behave towards women. Instead of examining their behavior and wanting to do better, they doubled down and decided to act like even bigger dicks. Then, acted like they were the victims and bonded over that.
Then mention fathers I. The same sentence. We carry too much weight bc people assume. Thank you for acknowledging it though. We can all be better, and you made up for it.
The beating heart of masculine conservatism is when hold accountable for your actions you become an ever more shitty human rather than learn from it and grow.
I honestly didn’t know he was on the side of predatory men. I thought he advocated for women, at least in his earlier days. I guess it makes sense though. It’s so weird to me that they act like they’d do ANYTHING to stop the “wokeness” except give EVERYONE equal rights and mind their own business.
They liked it when good people laughed off their abuse and isolated victums to fend for themselves. Flipped them out when good people started to stand up for victums.
You’re onto something there. Men who’ve mistreated women are still using their primal brain- they have failed to evolve hence why so many are being denied access to women now. “De-Centering Men” is a new theme. They need to do the work.. or be alone & mad.
That too, but those were very conservative women that already subscribed to the “women shall submit to their husbands” and “boys will be boys” beliefs.
Ahhh there it is. That actually makes a lot of sense, if you behaved poorly previously you definitely would double down if put into a corner just like the crazy magats still for Donald Dump despite ::gestures vaguely at everything::
This pattern has existed for centuries, not just since the MeToo movement. It is embedded in toxic masculinity. It's a manipulation tactic to deflect responsibility. The acronym is DARVO (J. Freyd): Deny, Attack the victim, Reverse Victim & Offender.
No doubt, but he provided a big platform for it and appealed to a lot of Gen X-Gen Z males. He knows he carries this demographic and has chosen to provide more right wing content on that platform over the last 8 years.
100%! I don't think it's a new pattern--it's that there is easier access to platforms that exist to amplify & stoke their grievances. At heart they are such a group of underdeveloped, narcissistic baby-men.
This! All of this! 💯 This! As a woman who came into puberty early, and in the mid 90's, let me tell you, men used to feel free to just say & do whatever they wanted to young girls and women. The minute they were called out on a mass level they started flocking to people like Rogan!
Excellent analysis. He’s just a guy anyway. Who’s to say he wasn’t like this before he got a show. Or he changed because he saw his listeners/customers changing. Why worry over why someone is an asshole? They’re just assholes.
There's a very large problem with that thought. If someone says they hate murderers and people get angry? Odds are extremely good either they are murderers themselves. Want to be. Or support murderers. No one who is against murderers would be against others who are against murderers.
I think you’re right. Young men especially long for the “boys will be boys” days when they could get away with horrid behavior towards women. My college daughter says many of them feel entitled to any woman they want. They don’t like women telling them no. Too many “boy moms” raising entitled sons.
It's called the backlash and it happens anytime society openly wonders why white men are getting most of the benefits. There's a great book called The Backlash
Great points….also he seemed to have been radicalized over time. I don’t think he started out being such a right wing nazi. I could be wrong but that was my impression.
I first heard about him around 2014, my male friends into BJJ were into him. Even back then, there was a certain type of guy that liked listening to him. It might have started out as an open discussion forum on any topic, but then he started hosting Nazis on his show just to “ask questions”.
He was a self-proclaimed “liberal guy” for years. He would often comment about how people assumed he was conservative/republican because of the way he looks. He also loved Obama and Bernie. Then he went and had a lobotomy.
That was my impression too. It’s so seductive to get into the right wing mindset. Seeing everything as black and white (no pun intended) and hateful is a dopamine rush like no other….but it’s just a way to be lazy and let your mind rot actually.
I find it funny that he's now railing against people calling him a right-winger and he's saying that he only supported trump because he didn't think Dem primaries were fair.
He's been friends with Alex Jones back to the Fear Factor days...he learned how to market lies, fear, and unwarranted victimhood to susceptible young men from the master... remember an interview with him where he said Jones knew he was peddling nonsense, but just leaned into it because it sold well.
Joe Rogan's victimhood is unwarranted. He's doing fine under capitalism. Many others are not, but he's doing fine.
-
If your local farm community needs scarecrows, go help them with your amazing straw-man-creation skills!
Men were never entitled to women’s attention or labor so men complaining that they no longer have those aren’t critiquing capitalism, they’re complaining about the loss of privilege they had no right to. They won’t work together to make equality work for all, they *want* inequality.
Object to how capitalism exploits you, and you'll probably find a receptive community here. The unwarranted victimhood part is the suggestion that efforts to correct inequity are victimizing its historical beneficiaries.
Ur fn dumb. Geezus fn Christ. George is a dumb actor complaining about another dumb actor. And y'all are debating this BS from two dumb actors who don't know shit about anything. -dumb person
His show was not overtly political in the beginning. Right before the 2016 election Rogan became more vocal about politics. A useful idiot, he went from a Bernie supporter to Gabbard and eventually Trump. I stopped listening after he had Alex Jones on the show in 2016 I think.
Yes, I believe he was more middle-of-the-road and his turn is somewhat recent (and by recent that might mean "the last two years." I don't follow his show but this is what I've heard.).
☝️💯 Abusers get away with it when victims are threatened into silence. Once women feel safe and free enough to speak up in such numbers, men like them are more likely held accountable. This is an organized push to make women afraid and submissive again, pushing them back into hiding the truth.
hard truth: it made men fear lack of due process. Reflexive "I believe her" meant their innocence wouldn't be believed, they wouldn't receive due process, unfounded accusations needn't be proven. If you don't think innocent men are ever unfairly accused, there's no hope to address the divide.
And DO men (not receive due process)? Are women “believed”, and are their accusations proven? Are rape kits processed efficiently everywhere? If you don’t think assaulted/harassed women are rarely afforded this due process, sorry but you’re uninformed.
Sure. Some men are falsely accused for a variety of reasons. Countless of women are threatened, hunted down and killed, disbelieved, mocked, alienated, forced to give up their anonymity, and ruined for life. Others receive justice, but it’s a a paltry fraction of crime victims.
For the same reason the dumbasses vote trump, they didn’t pay attention in school.. they think because someone has money that they’re automatically smart.. as far as Rogan, 🤷♂️🤷♂️ he’s been proven a bafoon plenty of times.
Sadly, many men have lives that are personally disappointing....and people like Rogan (and, of course, Trump) offer up all kinds of excuses as to why that's someone else's fault.
People are notoriously bad at knowing what’s good for them. Look at Elon the richest man in the world with a massive void in his soul trying to fix it with what ever crazy things he’s doing. These rich people realize that the money and fame doesn’t fix them and then they go off the rails.
I sincerely can't understand why anyone listens to him. He's unqualified in any subject but fighting, never challenges his guests and invites the stupidest of people on, who believe in the least real, least plausible, least intelligent things ever.
When you see how much money can be made in fear and commerce of the weak. Any marketing is about selling a product and not because he believes in it, but because there is a market for it. So of course you switch to gain the largest market share.
I wish there were actual consequences for this kind of stuff. Fox “News”, Rogan, Jones, Watters, Carlson they all spew so much 💩 and they never pay a price for it. They just end up with bigger & bigger contracts. It’s disgusting.
For at least thirty or forty years there’s been a concerted effort to stop teaching people how to analyze and think critically. As such they just listen to the loudest talking head barking at them, and the left has completely blown it re: controlling the narrative. Women are less susceptible /1
to the BS as they’re naturally more intelligent and more likely to see through it. For some of these young men it’s double trouble as they were raised by men that were never taught to think critically themselves. /2
Bc our civilization is being destroyed ignorant, entitled, bigoted pawns that lack the ability to think critically, tell truth from obvious lies or remember anything for more than three or four seconds.
The rich have succeeded in breeding a class of ultimate consumers. We are finished.
Because they lack free will and they listen to fox propoganda. Its sad they can’t think on their own. I guess they are just lazy. Because if they REALLY digested what they heard; they would realize its the stupidest shit anyone has ever heard of
He is a gateway. The manosphere Rogan, Friedman, Peterson etc all lead down a slope of radicalisation. But his successful feint is that he's just asking questions
What you're trying to say George, he's dumb. He agrees with every guest on his show, if another guest comes on the next day with completely different views as the previous guest Rogan always says, "Oh, I didn't know that." As I said, he's dumb.
The moron had one on his show who purported to have seen alien stuff.. he was an ex government guy...
Absolutely no evidence whatsoever, but Joe really seemed to believe him..
He's an idiot..
Liberalism largely accomplished what it wanted last century. For the past 40-60 years there's been a vacuous political taboo of addressing it. When there's no good way to talk about the future, and the future is what is now or just kire now, then this is what takes root: stupid.
He a Short White Male version of “the kardashians” for the “Bro Culture” dudes. Many of which are blue collar, less educated, gun hugging guys that believe they are the Alpha Males and are Anti Woke, Anti Everything that makes them feel threatened or uncomfortable. They live on his every word.
Thank you. We have a blended family of 5 adult kids. Unfortunately one that worships at the altar of Joe Rogan.
We know all to well how that cult works. Frustrating and just plain dumb.
That's gotta be tough, and assume he is also a MAGAt. I have Zero-tolerance for them, and have lost some family as a result. Fortunately...or perhaps unfortunately, I don't have kids, so don't have to deal with that possibility.
Having worked in customer service for years before I became a transportation engineer, I can attest that it is NOT just a Gen Z issue.
Americans especially suffer from a "what about ME" disease.
Yes. The first time in history having to tolerate so many people and groups. They’ve had enough. Let’s go back to the days when ads, tv shows, movies, work were all represented visually with white males. Their tolerance has reached saturation point and now turned to dummy-spitting like a baby
The other kids started challenging them to play more fairly. Most of the usual winners didn’t like that; so they retreated to the corner where they plotted and blew up the toy box to get even.
I haven't seen more than a couple minutes of any of his shows, so I don't know.
But I'm guessing he probably talks to them like some guy in a bar, and that makes men too stupid to read a newspaper feel like they can get their news from him.
All of this is a Russian Psy-op. The males affected were and are simply too malleable and gullible to resist. They are low-information, and quite happy to think and speak in easily repeatable RW sound bites. Our enemies laugh at them and still they persist. Truly sad.
🎯 It’s the same guys I see watching podcasts of retired special forces guys—and never served in the military. Call Of Duty cosplay wannabes. It’s pathetic.
Because he makes his base feel important and justified in their anger against the imaginary dragons he helped to create. Same as Trump did with his base... got them all angry about small things that don't matter to 99% of people in the US.
Because they're tired of women running away towards a bear because they're toxic, taking "their" jobs and generally being independent. My brother is one. Every relationship has been with either someone 1/2 his age and uneducated or compromised by drugs, alcohol or other diseases, controllable.
Oof, calling out the chase for external validation hits hard! I’d say: “Truth! Seeking approval from others instead of finding it within is such a trap. Time to grow inward! 💪”
Why is it that when anyone says that name I have an instant gag reflex?? 🤢
Is it because he is like the final “boss” of the bros? A top “Karen” of all the dumbed down gym dudes? Too much protein powder shrank the willy projection?
I think a loss of direction, I really do, or the need to *believe in something or someone*. FOMO? Not having an independent mind to make up their own minds? I really don't know.
I’ve found in life that those who want to justify their beliefs however twisted will latch on even to the lowest common denominator and discredit the truth.
He is so disgusting. Ughh..they all look like giant blobs of oily cholesterol & as if they never shower, probably smell horrible & seem very ignorant, ill educated & very hostile. I'll go to my grave never understanding this.
Comments
Maybe he will provide free milk in school, as long as it's raw of course.

WE’RE AT STAGE 8/10 OF GENOCIDE!!
UTLIZE YOUR REACH FOR MORE THAN MONETIZING!!
The farther above that line, the fewer people there are.
Even the well-informed and highly intelligent have a strong tendency to specialize.
So those attempting holistic reason and to be positive exceptions to human nature are nearly non-existent.
They want it digested for them - like their baby beaks are open, waiting for the pre-chewed bits so they can repeat it to other balloonheads.
They want the pablum.
I‘ve listened to about 20 episodes across topics. He makes statements, not real Q’s.
But he also said Elon had an app that gave him election results 4 hrs before the media. WTF?
We are more easily influenced/controlled when they tap into those emotions.
And those feelings can build all in the same direction, taking them down a dark path.
There are, imo, two countering forces to this that can help people regain self-control and self love.
Please see attached 🤗
The cult provides an illusion of love for those who are, essentially, lost or self haters.
And I think those people need love to help them reject the cult, and only then can education help them regain self confidence and options.
There can be no other explanation as to why 70m voted for Trump, a serial liar
The government?
Do you see the problem here?
Of course lies should be protected speech. But as with all free speech, be open to civil suit for harm done.
Guffawing, cigar smoking, nuts to the ceiling fan kind of guy.
Heck yeah.
Sheesh. He's a Mimbo of testosterone, a volcano of conspiracy theories, a story teller and man cave dweller.
He's a pal, a bud, a regular Joe.
Oont he's Schtupid AF.
🚬😎
Which is basically everyone.
Despite their own percieved macho masculinity, they are too cowardly to face real problems. Easier to let vile founts of deception like Rogan spew out simplistic solutions that only require donning their toxic macho-man facades. No risk to fragile egos.

No one is coming to save the Republic.
No one is going to save you.
It is our job, our responsibility, and our obligation to save it and ourselves. Start up the militias, let's not wait until we can't afford food, fuel, & bullets.
Revolution is the solution.

though.I’m hoping the orange turd buster will slip on a bar of soap. But you gotta bathe to do that.
Jack Reacher?
Who knew the character Rogan played (called Joe) was not a character at all but himself.
He’s basically a bartender, polishing the glasses while drunks slur nonsense at him
They are idiots.
When I think of all the poets, scientists, great leaders, writers and noble prize winners, there are a lot of people who I'd deem intelligent. Unfortunately, I don't see "Joe Rogan" on that list.
It happened in Germany Post World War l where young men turned to Adolf Hitler for purpose. We have failed our young men.
They are angry because they need to work harder and be better people.
I fail to identify a moment where the average man was subjected to a new reality that could benefit him as well.
Also got a question Bro? Who would I believe a damn word you said, Joe my bro?
We’ve had 30 years of conspiracy theories pumped out by conservative media and bobble heads
Poof we end up with the Great Orange Dope
Merrick Garland owns the outcome along with Biden & Harris
I tried listening to him. Made it about 6 min.
Money like every one of that ilk seems to be?
The same thing wrt racism, favoring the wealthy, etc.
There's no easy solution, but stopping overt hatred is a start.
I have sympathy, but I'm also boycotting.
Hell, I'm boycotting most of us now. I hope the rest of the world makes it hurt and maybe people wake up, I'm encouraged by the travel numbers.
My father did WAY more to miseducate me.
Stupid men are just as responsible.
Rural America is full of resentments towards those who escaped being crushed under their conservative social paradigm
Life regrets of the dying? They map to having not lived an authentic life & letting others tell you how to live
Conservatism is Anti Human
Men hate women
I was a single mother of 3 kids at the time.
Never mind the accepted sexual harassment on the job.
Credit had just been extended to women too.
The amount of sickness I used to encounter just walking down the street in the 90's at age 14 was from grown men was fucking shocking!
Such a thin-skinned, pathetic coward.
-
If your local farm community needs scarecrows, go help them with your amazing straw-man-creation skills!
I'm talking about the dumb shits that listen to him
But yeah, any critique of "It's Her Turn 2: Electric Boogaloo" must be misogyny
Or maybe you're ignorant of the economic hollowing out of rural America?
Guess they all should have learned to code!
He is a meat head. The type of dude bro in high school trying to befriend the nerds he bullied.
Its pathetic.
1 times 1 does not equal 2, idiot Joe Rogan. Duh.

Morals and ethics require thought and willpower...and you know better than most how Americans can be lazy that way.
The rich have succeeded in breeding a class of ultimate consumers. We are finished.
I love John Wick movies. I don’t think I’m John Wick or the upcoming Ballerina. They’re entertainment.
Some people really think they’re him or even worse, could beat him.
Entertainment is not reality.
Absolutely no evidence whatsoever, but Joe really seemed to believe him..
He's an idiot..
We know all to well how that cult works. Frustrating and just plain dumb.
Americans especially suffer from a "what about ME" disease.
Not a real complicated story.
But I'm guessing he probably talks to them like some guy in a bar, and that makes men too stupid to read a newspaper feel like they can get their news from him.

He’s got a massive fat one. 😇
Is it because he is like the final “boss” of the bros? A top “Karen” of all the dumbed down gym dudes? Too much protein powder shrank the willy projection?
