Can we please all just stop giving a fuck about this imbecile?

Unfortunately a lot of people, especially a lot of young boys and men, seems to have been basically brought up listening to this moron. He has been incredibly influential in spreading right wing lies and creating new generations of fascists.

And all those young boys were like "he's not right wing" the entire time, then he endorsed Trump like we all knew he would, because we're not fuckin brain damaged.

Except Limbaugh's fascism was intentional. Rogan is so incredibly ignorant that it might not be as intentional on his end obviously his sponsors are different.

Exactly what i was thinking 🫠

He's basically the spokesperson / chief propagandist of the current american administration, I don dont think we should stop giving a fuck. I think we should force him to fight wildfires forever

He really is unbelievably dumb. Unfortunately millions of people don't realize this, or don't care.

No, its worse than that.

The core of his appeal was/is that he was/is an average Gen X macho meatheaded dudebro who is an idiot, but also thinks he is clever in ways most people don't appreciate, thinks that his 'common sense' is sufficient to sniff out bullshit.

He is an aspirational figure for millions of older male losers, a father figure for younger male losers / kids from broken families.

He is also basically a near perfect embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.

In fact, I'm just gonna directly shill this video from the Elephant Graveyard here, it is recent, and an utterly phenomenonal explanation of ... what Joe Rogan has done to the 'comedy' scene, and wider society as a whole.

Anyone reading this: please watch this if you have not already, hell, get some popcorn.

I second your recommendation of that video. Those Elephant Graveyard videos are really good.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

They really getcha thank'n.

Exactly! Dude is a walking talking confirmation bias.

Andrew Tate teaches kids to think stupid things.

Joe Rogan teaches people to think in stupid ways.

If Jordan Peterson could just cut back on his use of multi-syllabic words he'd blow Rogan out of the water.

LoL, but that's Pererson's whole personality. Pretending that he's the smartest man in the room by using big words that he believes no one else knows the meaning of. And to the empty headed morons who actually listen to him, he's right.

It's hard to realize you're listening to a dumbass talk when you yourself are a dumbass.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
