Joe Rogan is a drug-addled moron. Do not listen or engage with anything he says, even if you feel like you agree.

You got it all wrong. He's not drug addicted. He's brain damaged from his mma days. Apparently brain damage leads to conservative thoughts. Look at Fetterman.
There's a talk show video out there where the host is conservative (it's well known I just can't remember the name). Some guy is on the phone talking about how he's seen the light of the GOP and the host asks what changed, and he says he got kicked in the head by a horse.
The host looks a little shocked and says something like, okay moving on.
Diminishing capacity for empathy, tendency towards selfishness, quick to anger, no shame... checks out
That's crazy man, have you ever tried DMT?
No but I was once awake for a week straight, the shadow people and porn hallucinations weren't fun.

I wonder if Rogan realizes that he's part of the reason we've ended up here?
Like most rich ass conservatives, he only cared about advancing his bank account. He knew his audience and double downed. He know he won't lose those listeners. He could fuck Hilary Clinton tomorrow and they would still celebrate it.
About as much as a child who shit their pants and then points at another kid saying they smell like shit.
Joe is just what happens when an anti-establishment nut becomes the establishment.
Rogan is a former comedian. Of course he’s going to defend fellow comedians. This should not be surprising to people!
True. But I'm still surprised at how many not-completely-unhinged opinions Joe Rogan has. Mind you, he's still far from being a sane person, but I always just assumed he was a differently flavored Alex Jones.
I’d say he’s more gullible than unhinged. He basically believes every guest who comes on his show, even if they just contradicted the previous guest. It’s very strange!
Didn't he defend comedians who were getting cancelled for jokes by the left too, like Chappel? What's the surprise here? Ideological consistency does seem rare these days and "doing one thing while bitching when that same thing is done to you" is quite en vogue, and nobody acknowledges that the systems we put in place to control our opposition will be turned on us the instant they have a chance, but this (defending kimmel for jokes regardless of the politics) seems in line with what Rogan has always said afaik.
Well his comedian friends would disown him if he didnt and I genuinely think he still takes pride in his work.
I dont like Rogans politics but I actually respect him as a comic. I dont love his material, but in the same way that Katt Williams isnt writing jokes for suburban white folks, Amy Schumer is writing jokes for wine moms and woo girls. I can respect the joke writing and act even if it doesnt resonate. I think he is a good (not great) comic and probably still cares greatly about it.
Yeah I'm not a fan or anything but professionally he's been pretty consistent with his humor. I remember him calling out Carlos Mencia for stealing other (smaller comedians) material.
It was apparently pretty true so it really made Rogan look like a good dude, standing up for his peers against someone who was really starting to blow up (by stealing their material).
He helped enable the rise of the Alt Right by giving them serious air time.
Also, Dave Chappelle never got "cancelled". He's still getting Netflix specials and still booking shows. For some reason, people will pay him to call them poor.
Having people write critical articles about someone isn't the same as getting "cancelled".
If simply giving the alt-right a platform causes them to become more popular in society, that means there are deeper issues, giving them a platform isn't the real issue.
The real issue is that society is in a state where they are willing to support alt-right.
I mean, you identified the surprise - consistent ideology. That's not generally something anyone could accuse the right of lately.
more like he defended Chappelle who rightfully received criticism, but never lost any work, money, or influence as a result.
He's typically silent on the matter. So what's surprising is he actually spoke up for once.
Plausible deniabiliity. That's all
Careful Joe. That's sounding dangerously unconservative, and you know what the crazy conservative gun people do to those conservative voices that aren't conservative enough for them.
Hey, this walking talking cyst finally got something right.
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day...
That is the face eating leopard after eating such a rich diet of fat disgusting overweight people that aren't hard to catch. Poor guy needs insulin shots now too.
should worry about picking up all kinds of diseases eating that filth raw.
and talk about macroplastics
it's weird how so many conservative women end up looking like bad drag queens, some other examples include loomer, guilfoyle and bezo's wife..... it's like they turn themselves into a hyper-caricature of femininity, with bad filler and too much pancake make-up slathered across their faces.
i guess the performative femininity plays well with it's performative masculinity/rural cosplay counterparts.
It has to do with money. It doesn't matter that it's good. It matters that it's expensive. Kinda like an ugly gold chain.
The average person pays like $90k for Mar-a-lago face now, it's definitely the new conspicuous consumerism. But with old fashion trends, you didn't permanently make yourself look like you needed an epi-pen

Leozempic for big cats.
Joe should be much more afraid of the next Groyper aiming for him. Conveniently located in Texas.
So uh, the groyper narrative is now about as solid as the trans narrative. Everything's pointing to the guy growing up in a conservative household and disagreeing with his family and all the hate.
Source?
Well the whole "had enough of this hatred" text he sent to his mtf transitioning girlfriend for one?
My source is that it’s politically convenient and doesn’t challenge my own identity for me to believe this.

Well, no he didn't. Not really. I haven't heard it (and don't intend to) but according to the quotes in this article he didn't do that at all.
“The problem is the companies, if they are being pressured by the government – so if that’s real – and if people on the right are like ‘yeah, go get ’em,’ oh my God, you’re crazy. You’re crazy for supporting this because this will be used on you,” he said.
If, if, if. Wouldn't want to risk upsetting anyone would you?
