    Really Joe Rogan a hero? Who did he save what war did he defend this nation in? What burning building did he run into to save kids? A rich podcaster yes a racist podcaster yes! I don’t see a hero..
    The best tweet I saw suggested that he's a hero because "he tells people they’re smart and brave for not challenging their most deeply held beliefs."

    That's what Americans are looking for validation on.

    well here is the death knell for the podcast. you know when trump is defending you, it is only going to get worse.

    On Monday, the CEO of Rumble offered Rogan $100 million over four years to bring his show to the social media platform.

    Boy, talk about drawing up sides...

    I am a firm believer that you can dislike Trump and still listen to Rogan.
    i dislike rogan for spreading covid and vaccine misinformation and getting people sick/killed. i have stated it several times in this thread. why would people like me want to listen to him?

    he'd have to give back huge majority of the spotify 100mil. Have no idea in general terms what that deal was other than exclusive rights to past current and future shows for x years

    Joe Rogan wants to be on Spotify/Apple/Youtube like Trump wants to be on CNN and hang with George Clooney.

    Long thread but worth the read....


    Him being a comedian I saw nothing wrong with this.  If this is what people consider "hateful" nowadays they might want All in the Family banned if they watched it.

    I swear Daniel Tosh is just one joke away from having the book thrown at him.
    His podcast isn’t really presented as comedy. Hell, his standup is barely presented as comedy.

    The hero worship had to have been BS. If not, that person needs some guidance in life. I love PJ, but I would never call Eddie Vedder my hero. That type of thinking is weird. A hero is someone who sacrifices something for the greater good, you know, a selfless act or deed, not mostly selfish and void of empathy.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    He is a comedian though.

    He should get a pass.

    he's a guy who gets high and walks/runs around on stage shouting things and following it up with "that's crazy!". 

    to quote Katya on Seinfeld: "you may tell jokes for a living, Mr. Joe Rogan, but you...are NO comedian".

    I'm not sure that video needed to be posted for the 35th time, but yes, I agree.

    That’s silly. It’s not a license to  help spread hate speech or cockamamie theories on human evolution that leads to broader ignorance.

    In our communication age, disinformation is the problem. Ditch the misinformers. Find a good clean place to support with your monthly checks. You have the real power. Use it.

    To the baby boomers, I say 70 percent of the country's financial assets are in your hands compared with just about 5 percent for millennials. You and I need to lead.

    In our age of Climate Chaos, I say ditch the companies contributing to the mass fossil fuel destruction of Earth.

    For their continued funding of the fossil fuel damage even as the global temperature keeps climbing, I say take your money from the accounts of these American banks today:

    Chase
    Citi
    Bank of America
    Wells Fargo

    Join me as I move my money away from the damage causers or you will unintentionally be one of them. You have the power to change the world. We can do it together. Your grandchildren will thank you in history.

    To the musicians and creators in the world, I say this:
    You must be able to find a better place than SPOTIFY to be the home of your art.

    To the workers at SPOTIFY, I say Daniel Ek is your big problem - not Joe Rogan. Ek pulls the strings.
    Get out of that place before it eats up your soul. The only goals stated by EK are about numbers - not art, not creativity.
    Notice that EK never mentions the Medical Professionals who started this conversation. Look, one last time - at the statements EK has made.

    Then be free and take the good path.

    So when is Rogan going to run for WEPOTUS (Worst Ever POTUS)? '24? '28?

    .  I stood by him 10 years ago.  I stood by him this week.  I stand by him now.  Period.  He's a hero.  



    JRs twitter from 2012, am I reading that right.  I'm not on twitter but clicked it to see.  

    musicismylife78 has stood by him for ten years (since 2012), am I reading that right. I'm not on twitter but clicked it to see.  
    SC posting old tweets from 2012, when this was the weekly hot topic of the day.... am I reading that right. I'm not in twitter but clicked to see.  
    Nami is defending the hero we all need Joe Rogan for pushing racist conspiracy theorists because it was in 2012, which was ages ago when the internet had not yet been invented and Stanley Kubrick had not yet faked the moon landing. am I reading that right. I'm not in twitter but clicked to see.  
    So now I'm such, for questioning the motive of old media clips, on both sides coming up into today's discussion/environment.  I brought this up before page 42

    In reference to the Obama thing, I just remember that being the main focus in the news back in the day. That's all meant by that. 



    Why would anyone question someone tweeting that the most popular podcaster is a peddler of racist unfounded conspiracy theories.

    What is there to question.
    you have your opinion and i mine.  The reason why i bring up the timing, and the rapid montages of the the quick to air dated tweets, i feel its a smear campaign at this point.  yeah yeah label me now for questioning the quick positioning of everything that has come out in what the last 2 weeks.  but one has to question.
