    When you realize that you actually just feel bad for most people, and then it turns back to hate for the billionaires who have been pulling the strings for thousands of years…

      Consider checking out “The know Rogan experience”, a podcast that listens to Rogan and points out all the crazy stuff being said

        Nah. Those type of podcasts don’t interest me even in the slightest. I prefer entertaining ones. Stories being told and acted, interesting facts, etc.

    During lockdown we were getting slammed and I was working 10 - 11 hour shifts and was finishing all my podcasts and had run out of audiobooks. So just needing something to listen to while I worked I gave his show a shot. Listened to two episodes and then signed up for Tidal and just started listening to music instead.

    I just got so disappointed that he was with Trump in that press conference recently. I dont know the full situation, I guess he was there to get some funding for some martial arts stuff, but seeing him friendly with Trump was very sad.

    I dont care about American politics but Trump as a person is just horrible, so its not about the politics. Its about the person.

    Damn, how do I become a man now that I never subscribed to Joe Rogan’s podcast in the first place. 🌝

    I have a friend that started saying some weird stuff. I asked if he listened to rogan and they said that he’s great and got defensive right away. I wonder if they ever figured out how I knew they listened to rogan or thought about it at all.

      Getting defensive means they know it’s bad, but somehow still pretend to themselves it’s not?

        Not always. For example, if I were “caught” eating pig meat in a Muslim country, I would probably be defensive. Without that actually meaning that I genuinely thought there were anything bad about eating pig meat.

        As an analogy, you can in theory be defensive about watching Joe Rogan without genuinely thinking there is anything wrong with Joe Rogan.

          I will say, though, if someone can clock that he’s a regular listener to a specific podcast after he tells them some (as he sees it) common sense opinions on everyday topics like dating, then that is worth taking note of and doing some introspection rather than getting defensive.

          If someone was telling me about their Alexa spying on them, and I threw out a “Mulch the rich”, and they replied “Oh, you listen to the MBMBaM podcast?” I would think “Shit, am I being brainwashed without realizing it? That podcast isn’t even political…”

          A lot of people aren’t aware of most things.

          It’s a little different but there’s an artist who got caught with a teenager. Sucks cuz I loved his music but when other people find out I’ve been to their shows I usually bring that part up. Most people who listen to him don’t even know about it until I tell them. He just wasn’t famous enough for it to pop in everyone’s algorithm. People rely on tiktok, reels and shorts for most of their information. If it doesn’t trend for them then they don’t know about it. They also form opinions based off of their algorithm.

          It’s not everyone but a concerning amount.

        Huh? Is this how people interpret defensiveness? That’s wild to me. If someone told me they thought it was a good idea for them to steal all my stuff and kill me, for instance, you best believe I’m getting defensive. People get defensive when you attack something they want to defend.

        Edit: to be clear, all I’m saying here is that people can get defensive about something without secretly thinking its bad. I despise Joe Rogan and I think his listeners are dumb.

          lol, you just proved their point quite well. Your example implicitly equates listening to Joe Rogan with theft and murder.

            No, that’s a misunderstanding. I am not making that equation at all. And even if that was the way you wanted to read it, you’d have it backwards. The person criticizing Rogan is the one I “would be equating” with theft and murder. But, of course, I’m not saying that either. You’ve simply misunderstood me.

            I was giving an example of someone saying something that attacks something that’s important to me, namely, my property and my well-being. And using this to linguistically illustrate how, even though I definitely believe that my property and my well-being are something that’s right for me to maintain, I might still get defensive about it when someone attacks it.

            In my example, the thief is the attacker and I am the defender. In the original context, the Rogan-criticizer is the attacker (of a belief, basically) and the Rogan-listener is the defender.

            My point was to show that people get defensive when something important to them is attacked, regardless of whether they’re “pretending not to know its bad” or not. I certainly am not pretending not to know that my well-being is bad.

            I know its tempting to want to take every opportunity to dunk on the Rogan listeners and be like “lol, they’re getting defensive because deep down they know they’re wrong!”, but that is just a nonsensical way of thinking. Especially when they’ve already given us a legitimate reason to dunk on them, which is that they like to listen to a moron.

            Does that help clarify what I was saying?

              Dude… we get it, you listen to Rogan, but nobody is crucifying you for that but yourself.

              Next time just say nothing, seriously.

                I do not listen to Rogan, I hate Rogan. I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic but, yknow, may the record show that I do not like Joe Rogan one bit lol

                  From your responses so far, I don’t believe you, and it would be very hard to change my mind, I also really don’t fucking care. I was more addressing your response in general.

                  It really is better to just walk away sometimes, friend. You’re really not doing yourself any favors. Take the L now, it will only get bigger and there is no W in this for you.

        Shame!

        It is most likely that they really don’t know and are just being defensive like most people get when someone points out they are wrong.

      I haven’t listened to it, but Jesus fucking Christ people who are performatively “carnivorous” and want you to know about it are infinitely more tedious and pathetic than the preachiest of vegans.
