Fuck Rogan.
Dumb person’s smart person
So succinct, yet so damn accurate. Well said!
If you're paying for spotify premium you're funding this.
I don't think there's any alternative to Spotify that works for me.
PSA: this is a troll account above.
Either way their point is totally valid.
That's fine, just making sure people know what they're signing up for should they engage in debate.
YouTube Music, part of YouTube Premium, has a much wider selection than Spotify and you get the added benefit of no commercials. Which is great considering YouTube also has a ton of movies and TV shows. I got rid of most of my other streaming services, signed up for that, couldn't be happier.
I fucking hate Rogan so much. Maybe it's unfair of me, but I always think less of a person if I hear them say the words "I heard on Joe Rogan..."
No, that’s also my instinctive reaction. Right up there with Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.
I feel the same way. The moment someone speaks positively of them, I have suddenly lost respect.
Same here. My otherwise progressive'ish mother-in-law listens to him because she enjoys the interviews. I love her to death but it's hard to keep my mouth shut whenever she tells us the latest bullshit Rogan has shat out.
he found the theory that party drugs like poppers cause AIDS to be “surprisingly compelling.”
What does he mean with this? Is he claiming that AIDS isn't caused by the HIV virus, or is he claiming that poppers (the chemical amyl nitrate) when consumed by a human causes the spontaneous creation of the HIV virus inside the person?
Neither of those makes sense.
I think he's saying that last time he got high off poppers he had unprotected butt sex with a known infected partner.
It's the only logical conclusion.
The most generous interpretation is he's saying drugs suppress the immune system so drug use causes AIDS. This would be fairly falsifiable if we had data showing non drug users also develop AIDS and... Oh wait we have fuck loads of evidence showing that and Weinstein proves himself an idiot. Again.
Haven't listened. Haven't read.
AIDS is the Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome.
The most charitable take is he's saying HIV isn't the only way to acquire it.
Personally, I gave a lot of charity to rogan between 2014 & 2020. I don't have any charity left for either of those racist xenophobic cucks
My people didn’t lose a generation for this bullshit.
Also AIDS is preventable, AIDS is treatable, and if you’re sexually active outside of monogamy you’re potentially being exposed to HIV regardless of the kind of sex you have. Straight people having PIV can spread HIV, oral can spread it with any genitals. If you’re sexually active get tested regularly. If it’s caught early you can avoid negative consequences. And if you have reason to believe you’ve been exposed go to an emergency room immediately and tell them. There’s basically a morning after pill for HIV (there’s also an equivalent to birth control called PrEP)
I thought I was exposed one time (turned out it was all good) and went to the ER to tell them and they told me they didn't have that medication and that it was extremely expensive. Good old Texas.
Yeah that’s terrible. When AIDS breaks out it is always a governmental failure. I’d’ve given the first time a pass but holy fucking shit did the government fail then too. If a hospital lacks PEP and if government and insurance don’t make it worth taking just in case they’re risking citizens lives
Who the f**k take this 2 clowns serious? And Joe Rogan, that dude ..is a gold mine for this shit and stupid topics.
I dunno. The guy got a bunch of radio equipment from when he worked at WNYX, started a pirate radio station then moved on to podcasts…
It’s all there in his Wikipedia
“ He also espouses various conspiracy theories, particularly with regard to the government's suppression of information about extraterrestrial life.”
Unholy turducken of misinformation should be the new name for the GOP.
Joe Rogan realized he could cast a dragnet across the nation for the most ignorant, gullible viewers and, like Alex Jones, sell them bullshit. This bullshit being pushed to the audience is paid for by the highest bidder that Rogan then injects into his dialogue.
Then again, I wonder if he's just a stoner wholeheartedly embracing the Dunning-Kruger Effect, thinking he's got it allllll figured out.
Do you think he's aware of the false equivalence fallacy he props up when he would bring on, say, an anti-vaxxer person and then 1 pro-vaxx person but not recognize that there's probably 999 pro-vaxx infectious disease experts, doctors, scientists for every one anti-vaxxer? What if he interviewed with proportionality?
he got 100 Million Dollars from Spotify. Of course he thinks he's highly intelligent.
Rogan flips like a pancake. One day he'll have Tyson on then the next this baked potato who got his info from a guy who wrote a book using the baked potatoes info.... it's a feedback loop of idiots. Rogan just likes money.
The Joe Rogan sort of show used to be relegated to midnight on AM radio. Coast-to-Coast Art Bell/George Noory stuff. Except at least Bell and Noory weren't meathead assholes.
Bret Weinstein: a perfect example of how you can be educated and still be a complete fucking moron.
Or
Educated, possibly intelligent, and a soulless grifter taking advantage of complete fucking morons.
Either way he's a goddamn turd in a turd suit.
creating a sort of unholy turducken of misinformation
fucking lol
I guess kids in africa are having poppers in uterus.
Damnit Bret, I want you to personally refund the tuiton I spent in college taking your classes.
I actually think Rogan is a really great interviewer, and he's sometimes able to get surprisingly candid moments out of his guests. The problem is he's also dumb as shit, so he'll wind up platforming people that have batshit crazy ideas and he has no ability to evaluate or push back on what they're saying. He'll have guys like Stephen Molyneux come on and go on a racist tirade about ethnic IQ or whatever, and instead of doing research beforehand so he can challenge his bullshit he'll just go, "wow, that's crazy man."
I used to like Rogan in the Man Show/Fear Factor days, and I still respect what he's done for comedians in Austin.
Other than that? He's a fucking meathead who sold whatever integrity he may have had to Satan Musk for a joint.
Joe Rogan is a one-man human centipede.
This is worse than yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
