Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because it's left-wing and Rogan mainly appeals to far right conspiracy cranks?
Joe Rogan is a mainstream celebrity with a very popular podcast. If you took all of the comments in this thread at face value (including your own) you'd think he was some sort of terrorist.
He hosted a self confessed fascist... The fact that he's still a mainstream celebrity despite that doesn't make that ok
We'll agree to disagree then.
As was said elsewhere, if you listen to him, it's likely because you hold bigoted beliefs of some kind yourself. If you're ok with him hosting fascists, then you're in that picture...
He is "mainstream" in being known as a conspiracy crank. He claimed January 6th was a false flag: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-rogan-january-6-false-flag-b2385733.html
He just generally pushes right wing misinformation whenever he gets a chance: https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-rogan-is-mainstreaming-right-wing-misinformation
So predictable and boring.
I'm as far left as it gets and I listen to Rogan sometimes. It's just a podcast for entertainment. He has a large platform and nobody controls him, people don't like that so people talk a lot of shit about him. Some if it's warranted, some if it's just shit from people that are repeating what they've heard about him and don't actually listen. Listening to it doesn't mean anything, it's just entertainment with a lot of different guests. Some you might find interesting or funny, some boring, and some completely crazy. Guy can make money however he wants, people can listen to whatever they want.
So go and listen to Matt Walsh then too? It's the same sort of right wing conspiracy crap pushing.
Do you think that's all Joe Rogan is? Because he is a lot more than that. Mostly he is just a shitty comedian that has his comedian friends on and talk about the same shit over and over again.
I never heard of Matt Walsh and I don't care to know who he is. I don't listen to any right wing conspiracy crap. Why would I waste my time on that nonsense?
Some people do things like this under the idea that you should keep your enemies close. Like you should always know your enemy and in order to do that, you have to be right there, listening to what the enemy is saying.
Rogan doesn't consider them enemies, he considers them friends.
Remember that fucking jackass, Ben Shapiro that he had on all the time?
I think it was Tony Hitchcliff who's a stand up who was on Rogans show fucking begging him to not have stupid ass Shapiro on anymore and Rogan kept defending the guy and Tony was just like, dude.. that guy is a fucking dork who makes you look bad. Stop having him on.
Honestly one of the funniest interactions I heard on the podcast where his actual friend is begging him to stop this nonsense and he just won't do it.
