Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

How is that trolling? imo that was quite a funny point, if the original phrase was meant to be an insult, it was a very weird one.

You're being a much bigger troll. You took any kind of criticism of someone else's wording as an attack on your agenda. Congrats, you're at least as bad as the people listening to Rogan.

Edit: someone please explain what am I missing.

You're not missing anything, people either think you're defending Rogan by pointing out the insult or they just don't care about the fact that the insult is degrading for peasants.

Calling someone a peasant as a humorous jab is okay, but using it as a serious insult isn't.

Thanks! I thought i might be missing some rogan-specific joke or something. Then I just continue to be surprised and disappointed by people.

I find it hilarious that you guys are virtue signalling for a class that hasn't existed since the Middle Ages.
