I used to listen to this prick - he’s always been kind of dumb, but his show was fun and attracted a broad spectrum of guests under the assumed banner of free speech. Most of the show’s subjects intersected with my own interests: food, health, tech, psychedelia, politics, self-optimization. Other episodes offered a peek behind the curtain of some of our culture’s ugliest, most insane ideological backwaters. This was frankly irresistible to someone like me, like hate-watching trashy TV, but I was engaging with it critically.
There were endless threads debating whether it was right to give some of those guests such a platform, but in general, we were all so sure that Joe was a progressive hero just shining a light on these figures. He said just enough of the right things to keep the audience coming back, and his detached approach was rationalized away. We thought that if he pushed back on these guys in any meaningful way they wouldn’t go on the show and show us who they were.
In hindsight, fans who weren’t alt-right weirdos were naive and misinterpreted his aloofness. Of course, the arrival of Trump and maga laid everything bare. Still, the resultant chickens of social decay have come home to roost.
I’m looking forward to this asshole’s fade into irrelevance, but I’m not sure it will ever come.
His detachment is a red flag. He’s had a wealthy and comfortable life for a long time and it has protected him from whatever his guests are up to or the impact having them on his show causes. So long as Joe Rogan and his family as safe, he has no worries putting others in jeopardy. This is the fundamental right wing ideological stance that allows the cruelty. He should be able to do whatever he wants because his selfishness makes him blind to the harm he causes. He could be having these conversations in private if he was just curious and wanted to learn, instead he chooses to broadcast them to the world but refuses to even acknowledge any responsibility for the consequences.
I hate this soft short stupid unfunny petty grifter so much.
He looks like half a ham left out in the sun for a few days.
He said stable genius, not stability genius.
Stable genius = pretty smart for a horse
This guy is such a fucking clown.
I have to disagree. Clowns are funny.
They also go to college, and most importantly, finish.
And normally when clowns do something controversial they can’t find work.
This dickbag says something stupid and his viewership goes up.
The same idiot who says these are “soft times” producing “soft men.”
We’ve had “once in a generation” catastrophes every fucking year I’ve been alive, Joe.
Joe just wants to be surrounded by hard men!
Who doesn’t!?
With those hard and long nipples of his
Men who claim they’re tough rarely are.
I wouldn’t test him in that regard. He sure is stupid though
I’ve worked with some really tough man and Joe baby ain’t even in the book, let alone on the same page.
People die younger, generations need to cycle faster, 1y/gen seems currently appropriate with space in both directions
To be fair a lot more men get into the habbit of using moisturizer during extreme weathrr events. That wind is no joke.
So soft. I like it soft. Ya. I like it a lot.
The Pillsbury doughboy needs a plowing.
Ava I’m the right man for the jerb.
And you helped make it happen Joe, good job.
He is a hired gun, don’t expect any honesty nor consistency
Well I’m that quote he doesn’t say that he thinks that’s bad
Joe Rogan, like their president, reflects them.
Only the United States could give us Rogan and make him as popular as he is.
The downfall can’t come fast enough honestly. These arseholes deserve retribution for the shit they’ve done and since the citizenry lacks the spine and decency to do it, collapse of the nation is the only way.
“We got him elected.”
There were clips of rogans shitty podcast after trump got elected and Joe Rogan was ecstatic saying this shit. I’m not gonna search for the clip but I’m pretty sure he said it, and undeniably he was enthusiastic about trump winning.
He also castigated environmental protesters, that’s what turned me off from him, although I don’t pay attention or I would be well off already. This guy is an opportunist. He believes in nothing.
He was radicalized by Covid lockdowns and not being able to do his entertainment jobs. The guy had enough money to just chill, but he couldn’t just wait it out like the rest of us. He’s worse than agnostic, he’s self centered to the core.
…agnostic means you don’t believe or disbelieve in a god…
Do you mean narcissistic??
That is not the only meaning of agnostic
Neat, i just learned something :3
Edit: for those that also may not know, it can be used as an adjective to describe things that are noncommital (software, people, etc) or to profess ignorance. Which seems to be how it became a word for someone who is on the fence about a deity. I assume the original commenter was using the latter definition.

Not only this this dumb piece of shit voted for trump, he platformed and proselytized Trump’s Conies in politics and the tech industry who are the ones really in charge.
And he ruined standup. And he ruined Austin. And he ruined podcasts. And…
Did he ruin podcasts? I listen to and enjoy many every day…
Probably more accurate to say he “inspired a lot of dogshit copycats” that I have to wade through now.
“Man if only there were some way to have known. Anyway, I personally saw a kid shitting in kitty litter at a shool. And by ‘personally saw’ I mean a professional liar told me this and I believed them because I always do.”
Clearly this is, uh, Biden’s fault.
Wrong Joe
Well you see the kids are peeing in liter-boxes, so obviously we need to bomb Iran.
Thanks O’Biden
Man if I were Joe I’d be so pissed off at the most popular podcaster in the world for having one of the richest men in the world who bought one of the most widely-used social media sites in the world on his podcast the day before the election to help endorse Trump. If only half the planet had seen this coming and said something!
Damn Biden won’t stop messing up the world, right Joe? /s
He was in office for FIFTY YEARS, what did he do? He was a worthless hack.
Is he better than Trump? Sure. So was every other President, it’s a very low bar.
But he was not the “good guy” even before he was senile.
Legit, my stupid friends got mad at me for pointing this out the first time. Biden hasn’t held a regular job since the 70’s. His job was fundraising for politics. They picked him to run with Obama because he was the most milquetoast centrist available (which is literally a proponent of the police state in the US). He was a token, a skin tone balancer. Everyone’s buddy gaffin’ Joe.
These dynastic politico assholes are the problem. If you’ve spent your whole life in politics, you are deeply out of touch. You can’t possibly legislate properly if you haven’t been forced to engage with the job market for decades. Not even because you are good at your job, because incumbency is the thing that decides elections in MOST cases.
After Trump the first time, the Democrats had a real chance to clean shit up and seal the deal for GENERATIONS. They had a majority, they could passed a higher minimum wage (at least the 15 people have been protesting for since… 2000? 2010?), universal healthcare, taxes for billionaires, busting up monopolies, and everything else FDR would have agreed with without hesitation. SOMETHING, at least. A few years of this would have been amazing for our consumer economy, consumers are important.
But no, they’d rather humiliate everyone who voted for him; sure, he wasn’t as bad as Trump. Good job you shithead, how hard was that? Was your 50 years of experience not enough to know how to “beat the system”, all of the ins and outs? Where’s your wisdom, old man?
The entire last 10 years have been embarrassing to every American, in my opinion, bOtH sIdEs and all that
Yeah? And what the fuck did you do?
Yeah? And what the fuck did you do?
I know one thing I didn’t do, which is pass legislation that put thousands upon thousands of people into prison for “the drug war”.
So, that’s nice.
Yeah, well, you also didn’t slam the brakes on after Trump tried to run this country off the cliff the first time. So there’s a whole lot of shit you haven’t done, other than run your mouth.
That’s quaint, since Biden is notorious for running his mouth.
Please note that you are confuzzled, it’s BIDEN that didn’t slam the brakes on after Trump tried to run this country off the cliff the first time, not me. Time for your nappy perhaps
Did you know he authored the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986?
Anyway, I’m sure Biden will appreciate your service to his horrific career of ineptitude. Anti-Drug Act alone was disgraceful
And apparently that’s all you got, is bitching and moaning about legislation from 40 years ago that happened under a massive national mania. Fine. Don’t get over it. Things change, people change, except possibly you.
Massive national mania indeed, something I’m sure you have been duped by again and again and again and again.
Biden didn’t change, he was shit then and he is shit now. Now cry more, you’re good at that!
