Joe you helped us become this monster you fucking idiot.

[-] railcar@midwest.social 98 points 3 months ago

He deserves all the flak, but we need to accept and encourage people who are changing their mind or we're all fucked.

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

He isn't changing his mind. This is part of his strategy and has always been so. This is to please the "but he also invites non-right wing guest" crowd. He is and will remain a right wing influencer who carries a large responsibility for the current situation with his right wing propaganda platform.

"I'm sorry. You all tried to tell me, and I didn't listen. I was wrong"

We can talk about forgiveness and acceptance when he gets to this point.

Fuck you, Joe. We all told you that he is a monster, and you helped elect him. Don't pretend you have any morals now.

[-] peanuts4life 46 points 3 months ago

Joe Rogan is an idiot.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 44 points 3 months ago

Oh Joe, honey, you've been a monster for YEARS.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

"Are we the baddies" moment.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 3 months ago

No, I don't think he'll ever get that aware. He's just following the trend to stay relevant.

[-] anonproxy00@lemm.ee 31 points 3 months ago

joe 100% holds some not insignificant amount of blame for all this bs.

he IS a monster, it IS to late for him.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

I’ll never get why this moron has such an audience

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 30 points 3 months ago

Lots of morons in this world.

tbf, there's also a lot of immensely powerful corporations and political propagandists who invested heavily in Rogan over the years into him becoming a huge success.

it wasn't all organic popularity, media platforms, Spotify, advertisers and a whole slew of griftosphere talking heads made sure his brand of braindead 'just a regular guy asking questions' shtick was beamed directly into the brains of males age 25-50 who self identity as 'independent thinkers'.

it's easy to manipulate marginally stupid/normal people when you know precisely what topics get them riled up and tuned in to your disinformation machine.

What a spineless two-faced coward. He constantly attempts to cover up his fascism by saying non-committal stuff like this.

[-] MichaelScotch@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Too late. We’re already fucking monsters. Wake the fuck up, bro

[-] treno_rosso@feddit.org 23 points 3 months ago

Not like Trump is doing different than he announced he would do. This moron endorsed him ffs.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 22 points 3 months ago

To phrase this carefully: I've been saying that the people behind the scenery, who are actually in charge of this current regime, are going to need a new "face" when the current, orange one dies. Somebody brash, charismatic, well-versed in keeping people entertained, and their attention on himself. Somebody just like, oh, say, Joe Rogan.

I'm not predicting that Rogan will be the next "face" of MAGA, but this move is consistent with what I would expect if he were positioning himself to be it: Hedging his bets, putting a little bit of distance between himself and the administration so as to be outside of the blast radius in case public sentiment turns, but supporting it enough to be a credible successor in case public sentiment holds.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Joe's stocks went down, hasn't it?

[-] b161 18 points 3 months ago

Bit late buddy. 👹

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

You already are

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Nah he’s just trying to sound impartial. He was at UFC practically giving Trump a handy.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Keeping a mind so open that the brain just slides right out.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

You cannot turn into monsters if you already are ones.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago

Rage Entertainment Podcaster that blows with the political winds like a piece of tissue paper?

Shocking

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago

Ah so the orange’s actions finally hit Rogan’s bank account ehh

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

lol maybe stop abusing performance enhancing drugs first so you don’t look like a monster.

Too little too late . You helped put this maniac in the White House.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

he is just hedging his bets.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I didn't watch the podcast, just saw a clip from others reporting on it.

I didn't hear him say anything about trump, at all. He just said a mildly reasonable thing about the deportations without due process.

Is this headline sensationalized or am I wrong? Sounded like the most vanilla sugar coated "turns on trump" he could be. Stark contrast from during the election when he practically had a rock hard energized erection for trump.

Show me when he actually says he was wrong blatantly and says fuck trump on his shitty podcast, I'll eat my shoe.
