From the dude who endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016. What happened Joe? You went through the batshit crazy alt-right pipeline during COVID didn’t you…
Money happened.
That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.
Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Andrew Huberman, Bret Weinstein
Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.
What's stopping you from creating a community like that here?
I’ve already created around 6 communities and mod an extra two across this account and my alts so I kind of have my hands full here
Also if I had the energy to make and run a community I think one I’d love on lemmy is probably c/fivethirtyeight or c/guerrillagardening so I’d probably prioritise one of those.
And there's a risk of a community like that blowing up overnight when you've already got a bunch of mod duties and you're the only mod in the new community.
Accepting applications, by the way.
Congrats on that one.
Overnight success 😁
Thanks. Let's hope it doesn't keep me as busy as it has. The fact that I've had to add a 'no racism' rule already...
Hopefully you can find a couple people to fill in the mod team.
If my experience on lemmy is worth anything, pretty much any community where the majority of posts are in picture formats, and where the content is accessible/understable to most, usually grows pretty quick.
Sigh, Lex Friedman used to be an interesting listen for financial stuff, and now he's just another MAGA loser spouting bullshit economics
It pisses me off that these people get some of the most interesting people on earth to join their podcast and then all turn out to be MAGA arseholes.
I have to wonder who pays them and how much.
Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it's true.
So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie's platform was.
He used to be pretty progressive and had Bernie on his podcast. He used to be in favour or medicare for all, legalising weed, etc.
idk where he stands now though.
I believe his general position is fuck you I've got mine
Bernie was criticized a lot for going on the Joe Rogan experience.
I listened to the man until around 2018, by then it was starting to get clear he was becoming increasingly “macho” and elitist so I stopped.
Same. Even saw him and Tony Hinchcliff live in Detroit at one point. Seems like he went hard right after moving to Texas.
Where’s all the Rogan apologists now? So many posts that discuss Rogan and his behavior rationalize his right-wing lean as not really right wing and act like he’s playing some sort of 3D chess to keep view counts up. Dude’s trash. This is who he is.
Do people still do that? He's been pretty open about being right-wing for a while now.
Yeah. Seen a few replies defending Rogan’s behavior as some sort of smart business move.
shitbirds of a feather
man who was repeatedly kicked in the head for a job, endorses felon for president
Dumb cunt of a man.
He lacks the depth and the warmth
Dumb, dry cunt of a man
Hasn't Ben Shapiro's wife suffered enough?
What a shit personality.
I remember when he got like famous (on the internet), and you could actually believe he wasn't a total tool (he had good people coming to his show at least), I'm hijacking here a bit but who should I listen to that's interesting and not a fucking fascist enabler?
Total tool? Maybe not. Total fool? For sure. He was talking about the moon landings being a big hoax long before he got his show.
Both Johnny Knoxville's podcast and Steveo's podcast are pretty great.
Stuff on Bill Simmon’s podcast network might scratch your itch? I usually only do the Rewatchables but they generally just talk sports and pop culture and are entertaining and light hearted. If you’re looking for something more political or specific I got recs for those too
There is no excuse at this point, anyone who still listens to his podcast should question it, and what others around them think of them. It's not positive...
I'm shocked!!! Positively utterly and completely surprised and shocked!!! /s
Whaaaat? Joe Rogan likes Trump? No way! Nobody could have ever seen that coming! ^/s^
I mean the guy's not that bright to begin with, so this is hardly a surprise.
Joe Rogan, what a tosspiece
Not one bit surprised.
Not even Pikachu
This is not news.
LOL! At the last possible moment, so it won't actually help Trump!
Meatheads gonna meathead.
Bald midget cunt.
That sound you hear is red-meat-eating gamer dudes with stoic beards going off to cancel out the Swifties
Let's be real - they were always voting Trump.
Let's be real- most of them won't vote.
Just like some of those January 6th insurrectionists.

I'm an election inspector. The amount of young male first time voters coming in with maga hats has been off the charts. And the number of young male voters in general is higher than I've ever seen.
Shit knows shit. Literally and figuratively.
