Smoking weed & being okay w/ Gay ppl doesn't make u a leftist. It took me listening to a serious episode for me to understand what a libertarian was and how conservative Joe is in his views; which isn't a bad thing depending on who you ask. I'll put it like this, thought Ron Paul was a republican for the longest.
It is not
ah I got youIt is not
Being socially liberal on some issues doesn't put someone on the left, much less a socialist. Mans said he would vote for Trump over Biden, left Cali because he didn't like the Covid restrictions, is transphobic, complains about taxation, whines about cancel culture, identity politics, and "wokeness" not allowing straight white men to talk without consequences, thinks progressive views of racism are overblown. He used to invite Sam Harris on a ton to equivocate BLM and the Alt-right, and said Alex Jones gets most things right.
He was a massive Ron Paul supporter until his 40s when he started to like Obama.
He is disliked on the left, he is very critical of the left. The closest mans came to being a socialist is saying he likes Bernie over other candidates. But that is not another reason, not for being a massive fan of democratic socialism.
It is just that he has some progressive views. Mans is your run of the mill problematic libertarian-leaning centrist. He is not as bad as some like Ben Shapiro but he mainly supports left-leaning caused when it is on his terms. He is very sympathetic to white grievance politics too.
i see
He is not non-political, he is not a pundit because his podcast over the years have been filled with politics
You forgot to mention that he was rewarded $100 million for this.
I didn't claim you said he was innocuous, I said you are want to make him out to be more innocuous than he actually is. The dude is normalizing a lot of ******* to his listeners. I don't think a non-political median voter doesn't talks about all the **** Rogan does. Which non-political median voter talks about the ethnic cleansing of white farmers in Africa? I'm supposed to believe that is the convos popping off in Delco diners?
Really, me of all people are underestimating the racism of the median white person. Sorry, I find that laughable, I think my friends and family will find that laughable, go ask people in the political thread and I don't think they will find it laughable as well. I have lived in majority-white towns too Osh, I have been the only black guy in the room multiple times. Me saying Rogan is beyond the median voter is not me letting the median white guy off the hook for his racism, it is me saying Rogan is worse than that person. That's itimo I think you underestimate the level of racism of the average white guy. let alone a 50 year old white guy.
I grew up in a mostly white town, the level of racism dudes will casually express to their "black friend", is at least Joe Rogan levels.
I didn't say joe rogan is totally non political, he's a talk show host, I said his views are contradictory and incoherent like many non-political people.
Joe Rogan does not strike me as incredibly informed about politics, or a hyper engaged political person.
he's not non political but he's also not super informed.
it seems to me a so called Libertarian who loves obama, supported bernie sanders and then i guess soft supported trump?
...that doesn't sound to you like totally incoherent, sometimes contradictory mix of views that doesn't neatly map on to the left right spectrum?
reminds me of this dude.
that twitter account America voter bot is filled with people like this.
Ok, whatever man.
I can’t speak on the other topics you mentioned since I haven’t really been watching his podcasts THAT LONG, I mostly tune in when he had Dave chappelle or Kevin hart or a scientist or wildlife expert on
It is fine to think Fallon Fox should not be allowed to compete against women, I held that view. I however didn't and didn't think it necessary to rant that you can't fight women because "you're a ******* man, and you don't care if you cut your **** off. So yeah, Rogan's view was a reasonable take drenched in some unnecessary clown ****.
As the years have gone on he's become more and more right wing. Listen to his early podcasts and he was pretty vocal about inequality. He's let his fanbase dictate what he speaks about nowadays. I only listen to it when an interesting guest is on, used to be an avid listener
